  • Patent number: 8181678
    Abstract: The fueling device has a fueling pipe adapted to supply fuel pumped from the inlet opening the fuel tank. A grating member is situated inside the fueling pipe. The grating member includes an annular body positioned substantially concentrically with the fuel passage; and a support body adapted to support the annular body on the inside wall of the flow passage. Gaps present between the inside wall of the passage-defining member and the annular body and the support body constitute part of the fuel passage.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 8042564
    Abstract: A fuel cutoff valve is furnished with a casing defining a valve chamber, and a float mechanism housed to be able to rise and fall in the valve chamber. The casing is furnished with a closure plate situated in the space above the valve chamber and in a facing arrangement with a connecting passage. The closure plate is furnished with a vent hole that has been formed so as to divert the passage from the connecting passage to a second pipe line, and with a barrier wall that is situated in opposition to a first pipe line and that has been formed so as to divert the passage from the first pipe line to the second pipe line.

  • Patent number: 7960918
    Abstract: An electronic device, and a corresponding light emission control method for the electronic device, emit light by utilizing recombination of electrons and holes the device and method input a pulse-shaped driving signal having a duty ratio higher than or equal to 0.7 and lower than 1.0 and thereby causing light to be emitted intermittently. When an electron density is denoted by n, a hole density by p, a thermal velocity of electrons by Vth:n, a thermal velocity of holes by Vth:p, an electron capture cross section of a defect level by ?n, a hole capture cross section of a defect level by ?p, and a pulse width of the driving signal by W, the input driving signal has a pulse width W that satisfies W<1/{n·vth:n·?n·p·vth:p·?p/(n·vth:n·?n+p·vth:p·?p)}.

  • Patent number: 6956251
    Abstract: A blue-ultraviolet on-p-GaAs substrate pin Zn1-xMgxSySe1-y photodiode with high quantum efficiency, small dark current, high reliability and a long lifetime. The ZnMgSSe photodiode has a metallic p-electrode, a p-GaAs single crystal substrate, a p-(ZnSe/ZnTe)m superlattice (m: integer number of sets of thin films), an optionally formed p-ZnSe buffer layer, a p-Zn1-xMgxSySe1-y layer, an i-Zn1-xMgxSySe1-y layer, an n-Zn1-xMgxSySe1-y layer, an n-electrode and an optionally provided antireflection film. Incidence light arrives at the i-layer without passing ZnTe layers. Since the incidence light is not absorbed by ZnTe layers, high quantum efficiency and high sensitivity are obtained.
