Patent number: 5178013Abstract: The present invention provides an impact sensor which has neither electrical contacts exposed to an atmosphere nor any movable components, which is durable and highly reliable, and which is able to safely sense a vehicle impact even if loaded in a vehicle for a considerable period of time. The impact sensor comprises a piezoelectric element (3, 13) for generating a voltage of a magnitude in accordance with a pressure, a pair of electrodes (1c, 1d, 11c, 14) disposed to sandwich the piezoelectric element, an inertial mass (6,16) adapted to apply a pressure to either one of the electrodes, and a biasing member (7, 17) for biasing the inertial mass (6, 16) toward the piezoelectric element (3, 13). When the inertial mass (6, 16) is subject to an impact, the inertial mass (6, 16) is biased to apply to the piezoelectric element (3, 13) a pressure of a level in accordance with the magnitude of the impact.Type: GrantFiled: April 8, 1991Date of Patent: January 12, 1993Assignee: Takata CorporationInventors: Otohiko Suzuki, Kouichi Kaneko, Youichi Fujiyama

Patent number: 4945540Abstract: A failure detecting gate circuit for bus signal lines. The gate circuit include gate elements connected to each bus line and controlled by control signal, and a processing unit which controls any one of the gate elements. The processing unit operates to switch the gate elements to an "ON" state when the control signals are supplied to the gate elements of each gate. The failure detecting circuit outputs an indication signal of a failure condition in the processing unit. This occurs when control signals are supplied, such that at least two gate elements are to be switched to the "ON" state simultaneously. The improvement of the present invention over previous devices is a multiplexer which outputs one of two signals indicating either a failure condition or a normal signal provided by the microcontroller.Type: GrantFiled: February 5, 1988Date of Patent: July 31, 1990Assignee: Mitsubishi Denki Kabushiki KaishaInventor: Kouichi Kaneko

Patent number: 4829495Abstract: A pendulum rod is mounted so as to be able to swing within a desired or a normal swing angle. The means mounting the pendulum rod include means for restricting movement of the pendulum rod along the swinging axis relative to the support body when the pendulum rod is within this desired swinging angle to prevent the detachment thereof and for enabling free movement of the pendulum rod along the swinging axis when the pendulum exceeds the desired swinging angle to permit detachment thereof. The mounting means also include means for restricting upward movement of the pendulum along longitudinal axis and relative to the support body to prevent detachment thereof.Type: GrantFiled: March 14, 1988Date of Patent: May 9, 1989Assignee: Seikosha Co., Ltd.Inventors: Kouichi Kaneko, Tsutomu Matsuzaki

Patent number: 4667283Abstract: A power converter apparatus for use in supplying power from a DC power source to a load, including a chopper connected to the DC power source; an inverter connected to a DC output of the chopper for supplying converted AC power to the load; an error amplifier for detecting an output voltage of the power converter apparatus and controlling the output voltage so as to maintain the output voltage equal to a predetermined reference value; and a voltage control circuit for generating a gate signal for the chopper, including an oscillator circuit for producing a variable frequency signal having a frequency varied in accordance with an output signal of the error amplifier, and a phase shifter for producing the gate signal with a pulse width varied in synchronism with the output signal of the oscillator circuit and for applying the pulse width varied gate signal to the chopper. In this way the chopper frequency is decreased to improve the operating efficiency during light-load operation.Type: GrantFiled: November 12, 1985Date of Patent: May 19, 1987Assignee: Kabushiki Kaisha ToshibaInventors: Nagataka Seki, Kouichi Kaneko
