  • Patent number: 10767544
    Abstract: An object is to provide a type of device capable of properly cooling a bearing of a throttle body even under a condition that the throttle body receives heat of high-temperature intake air or exhaust gas. In the present invention, an engine coolant passage that guides a coolant of an engine is provided integrally with a member fixing a bearing to be adjacent to a circumferential wall of the bearing of the member fixing the bearing, which supports a throttle shaft, and heat transferred from the bearing (or likely to be transferred to the bearing) via the member fixing the bearing is carried away to the outside of a throttle body by the engine coolant.

  • Patent number: 10739240
    Abstract: A particle analyzer (1) includes a measurement cell (2) and a measurement section (10). The particle analyzer (1) further includes a migration section. The migration section includes magnets (3a and 3b), electrodes (4a, 4b, and 4c), a power source (5), and a laser light source (6). The migration section causes migration of particles contained in a medium loaded into the measurement cell (2) by at least two of a magnetophoresis method, a dielectrophoresis method, an electromagnetophoresis method, and a photophoresis method. The measurement section (10) performs determination of a physical quantity of the particles and determination of a migration rate of the particles.
