Patent number: 6938908Abstract: In a multi-link rear suspension (A) in which a wheel support (11) is connected to a vehicle body through five links (6-10) and vehicle body side ends of the links are provided with rubber bushes (26), respectively, the lower end of a damping device (14) formed by coaxially arranging a coil spring (12) and a damper (13) is pivoted to a portion of the wheel support (11) located toward the inside of the vehicle body so that the vertical reaction force of the damping device (14) produces a moment Mn toward negative camber on a rear wheel (2). The moment Mn is set to be always larger than a moment Mp toward positive camber produced by a side force on the outside rear wheel (2) during vehicle cornering until limit maneuvering conditions of the outside rear wheel due to the side force are reached. The damping device (14) is disposed with respect to a suppositive king pin axle K so that the vertical reaction force thereof produces a moment toward toe-in on the rear wheel (2).Type: GrantFiled: May 15, 2003Date of Patent: September 6, 2005Assignee: Mazda Motor CorporationInventors: Masashi Oda, Toshihide Koyama, Fumitaka Andou, Masahito Watanabe

Patent number: 6837329Abstract: A four-wheel drive vehicle has front wheels and rear wheels driven by an engine, and a coupling for changing the distribution ratio of torque to the front wheels and the rear wheels. An ECU determines whether engine braking is being applied based on the vehicle speed V and the throttle opening degree Od. When determining that engine braking is being applied, the ECU temporarily performs the engine braking related control. The ECU controls the engaging force of the coupling such that the distribution ratio of torque to the front wheels and the rear wheels is changed to a more equalized state in the engine braking related control than that before the engine braking related control is started. Accordingly, the fixing force of the front wheels and the rear wheels is temporarily increased without delay when engine braking is applied.Type: GrantFiled: March 31, 2003Date of Patent: January 4, 2005Assignee: Toyoda Koki Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Tsuyoshi Murakami, Ryohei Shigeta, Hisao Fumoto, Hideshi Hiruta, Masashi Oda

Patent number: 6797972Abstract: A high-polymer neutron shielding material which scarcely reduces the hydrogen number density when exposed to a high temperature of 150 to 200° C. for a long time period A heat-setting type epoxy resin is employed. The base resin is selected from various epoxy resins such as bisphenol A type epoxy resin. The hardener is selected from alicyclic polyamine, polyamide amine, aromatic polyamine, acid anhydride, and so on. These materials are mixed and hardened at a temperature higher than the room temperature. To give a flame resistance to the hardened resin, a fire retardant such as magnesium hydroxide is added to the mixture. To improve the neutron shielding performance of the hardened resin, a neutron absorbing material is added to the mixture. Further, to increase the moderating performance, hydrogenated bisphenol A epoxy resin is used as the base resin or metal hydride or hydrogen absorbing alloy is added.Type: GrantFiled: September 6, 2002Date of Patent: September 28, 2004Assignee: Hitachi, Ltd.Inventors: Mamoru Kamoshida, Masashi Oda, Takashi Nishi, Kiminori Iga, Masashi Shimizu
