Publication number: 20120142483Abstract: A variator (2) having a pair of semi-toroidally recessed races (11, 12) mounted to a housing (6) for rotation about a common variator axis. A roller (14) is mounted between the races to transfer drive between them at a variable drive ratio. A sun gear (25) is mounted between the races, as is a ring (gear 26). The ring gear is radially outboard of the sun gear. Mounted between the sun and ring and meshing with both is a carrier gear (33) upon which the roller is mounted in a manner which enables it to both spin about its own axis, when turned by the races, and also to tilt relative to the races to vary the drive ratio. A control pinion (27) is also arranged between the sun and ring gears meshing with both. The control pinion is able to rotate about its own axis freely, but the pinion axis is fixed with respect to the housing.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 16, 2009Publication date: June 7, 2012Applicants: TOROTRAK (DEVELOPMENT) LIMITED, KK EQUOS RESEARCHInventors: Yasuhiro Ishihara, Masahiko Ando, Brian Dutson

Patent number: 7989143Abstract: An electrode substrate in which a lower electrode and an upper electrode are well positioned by way of an insulating film could not be formed by a printing method since positional displacement is caused. The cost was increased outstandingly when using photomasks for positioning. In the present invention, positional displacement does not occur even when using the printing method since the upper electrode and the lower electrode are positioned in self-alignment. Accordingly, a semiconductor device such as a flexible substrate using an organic semiconductor can be formed with low cost by using the printing method.Type: GrantFiled: May 23, 2007Date of Patent: August 2, 2011Assignee: Hitachi, Ltd.Inventors: Tadashi Arai, Takeo Shiba, Masahiko Ando, Kazuyoshi Torii
