Publication number: 20200141515Abstract: A pilot type solenoid valve may include a movable core including a main valve and a pilot valve. The main valve may open or close a valve seat. The pilot valve may be connected to a base end side of the main valve and may be axially movable alone such that the movable core is biased in a closing direction by a spring and is slidable in a guide sleeve of a fixed core wound with an electromagnetic coil. When the pilot type solenoid valve is fully open by a electromagnetic force of the electromagnetic coil, a contact portion of the main valve may contact a contacted portion of the guide sleeve to restrict movement of the main valve toward a base end, and the pilot valve may be sucked and held in a state where a base end of the pilot valve does not contact the fixed core.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 31, 2019Publication date: May 7, 2020Inventors: Masashi Iwasaki, Tomoaki Fukuoka, Tsutomu Murakami

Patent number: 5736931Abstract: A remote control system is provided for remotely controlling at least two electronic devices one of which is a master device and the other is a slave device. Each device has a remote control sensor and both devices are connected with each other by a bus. The master device producers a command signal for commanding the slave device to send a connection confirmation signal representing that the slave device is connected to the bus. The slave device sends a connection information signal representing that the slave device is connected to the bus and is remotely controllable in response to the command signal. The master device makes a remote control signal received by the own remote control sensor ineffective when receiving the connection information signal.Type: GrantFiled: May 26, 1995Date of Patent: April 7, 1998Assignee: Pioneer Electronic CorporationInventors: Hitoshi Sato, Masashi Iwasaki, Tadamasa Yamanaka, Kazuyoshi Kamiyama, Nobuhiro Ozu
