Publication number: 20240083407Abstract: An oil dilution inhibiting apparatus is configured to inhibit oil dilution caused by mixture of fuel into engine oil. The oil dilution inhibiting apparatus includes a control unit. The control unit is configured to estimate friction of an engine and determine that the oil dilution occurs when the friction of the engine is decreased to a value lower than or equal to a predetermined threshold value to perform control so that the engine is operated at a higher speed.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 1, 2023Publication date: March 14, 2024Inventors: Naonori HAGIWARA, Yuuki ITO, Kenu TAKAHASHI, Yuki SUGIE, Kosuke YOSHIDA, Yuuma SUZUKI, Shogo WATANABE

Patent number: 8078042Abstract: Goal: Providing a vibration-proof lens that can restrict an increase in thickness in the direction of the optical axis. Means: A vibration-proof lens unit comprising a lens holder that holds a vibration-proof lens; a support that supports the lens holder in a manner to be movable within a plane orthogonal to an optical axis of the vibration-proof lens; an engaging section that engages the lens holder with the support such that the lens holder can move (i) in a rotational direction around an axis line parallel to the optical axis of the vibration-proof lens and (ii) in a direction of a rotational radius orthogonal to the axis line; a rotational driving unit that moves the lens holder in the rotational direction; and a linear driving unit that moves the lens holder in the direction of the rotational radius.Type: GrantFiled: January 26, 2010Date of Patent: December 13, 2011Assignee: Nikon CorporationInventors: Kosuke Hagiwara, Eiji Mikamoto
