Publication number: 20250027661Abstract: To provide an indoor unit that can suppress an increase in pressure loss, and that can reduce ventilation resistance in an air passage. The heat exchanger of the indoor unit includes a first portion and a second portion. In a cross section parallel to an axis of rotation of a centrifugal fan at a point where a distance between an outer edge of the centrifugal fan and an inner edge of the heat exchanger is smallest, an inner edge of the first portion and an inner edge of the second portion are arranged parallel to the axis of rotation, and the inner edge of the first portion is arranged radially outward of the inner edge of the second portion. In the cross section, a horizontal distance L1 is smaller than a horizontal distance L2, and a horizontal distance L3 is greater than a horizontal distance L4.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 8, 2022Publication date: January 23, 2025Inventors: Atsushi KONO, Takuya TERAMOTO, Makoto KURIHARA, Kazuki ISOMURA

Patent number: 8299908Abstract: A tire pressure monitoring system distinguishes a mounted tire from a non-mounted tire, and which automatically changes over IDs and tire-pressure thresholds without any exclusive apparatuses. A tire pressure monitoring unit stores an identification code of a tire pressure sensor unit and a tire-pressure set value as a pair. While a vehicle is traveling at a speed equal to or faster than a predetermined vehicle speed, if an identification code received within a predetermined time coincides with any one of identification codes of registered tires and the number of coinciding identification codes is equal to the number of tires, and, at least one of the coinciding identification codes is an identification code other than specified identification codes, the specified identification codes are replaced with those coinciding identification codes which are newly specified as respective identification codes of tire pressure sensor units mounted in tires mounted on the vehicle.Type: GrantFiled: May 26, 2010Date of Patent: October 30, 2012Inventors: Makoto Isomura, Makoto Bessho

Patent number: 7150433Abstract: The present invention relates to a bolster tray for an aircraft. A bolster tray provides a place for a pilot to keep papers and provides a writing surface during flight. In one implementation, the bolster tray may be extended, lifted, and rotated to provide for optimum paper storage and writing angles and so that the tray may be stowed when not needed.Type: GrantFiled: August 15, 2003Date of Patent: December 19, 2006Assignee: Toyota Motor Sales, U.S.A., Inc.Inventors: Brian Healy, Makoto Isomura, Garrick Talavera

Patent number: 5480104Abstract: A deactivating device for a locking mechanism of a pretensioner. The deactivating device includes: an operation lever provided movably about a central axis of rotation and in a direction of the central axis of rotation, and adapted to set the locking mechanism in one of an activated state and a deactivated state; and an urging member for imparting an urging force to the operation lever, wherein the operation lever has a deactivation operation mode for setting the locking mechanism in the deactivated state as the operation lever moves continuously in stages about the central axis of rotation and in the direction of the central axis of rotation against the urging force of the urging member and a position of the operation lever is subsequently held, and an activation operation mode for setting the locking mechanism in the activated state as the operation lever is automatically made to undergo returning movement by the urging force of the urging member from the deactivation operation mode.Type: GrantFiled: December 13, 1994Date of Patent: January 2, 1996Assignee: Kabushiki Kaisha Tokai-Rika-Denki-SeisakushoInventors: Keiichi Kato, Keisuke Imai, Masanori Oyabu, Yasuhiko Kouda, Makoto Isomura, Takuya Nezaki, Koh Watanabe
