Publication number: 20240112509Abstract: A vehicle is a vehicle that is equipped with an illumination device in a vehicle cabin and that is capable of traveling in an EV mode, the vehicle being configured to change a manner of luminescence of the illumination device when the vehicle enters a low emission zone (LEZ) where the vehicle needs to travel in the EV mode, and to cause a driver to perceive the entrance. For the change in the manner of the luminescence, for example, the color of the luminescence of the illumination device may be changed from a regular color to a specific color. By the change in the manner of the luminescence of the illumination device, it is possible to cause the driver to sensorily recognize the entrance to the low emission zone.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 29, 2023Publication date: April 4, 2024Applicants: TOYOTA JIDOSHA KABUSHIKI KAISHA, SUMITOMO WIRING SYSTEMS, LTD.Inventors: Yasunori WAKAMATSU, Masatoshi ISHINO, Yuuki ARAI, Takafumi EGUCHI, Akihiro KUSADA

Patent number: 9739311Abstract: A shaft includes: two large-diameter portions; and a small-diameter portion formed between the two large-diameter portions. A bearing includes: an annular body in which to insert the shaft; two bearing surfaces being opposite the large-diameter portions; and an intervening surface located between the two bearing surfaces on an inner circumferential surface of the body, and being opposite the small-diameter portion with a clearance formed between the intervening surface and the small-diameter portion. No anti-corrosion treatment is applied to the large-diameter portions. An anti-corrosion treatment is applied to at least any one of: an exposed portion of an outer peripheral surface of the body of the bearing, which is exposed to the outside of the housing; the intervening surface of the bearing; an opposite end surface of the bearing; and the small-diameter portion of the shaft.Type: GrantFiled: December 12, 2014Date of Patent: August 22, 2017Assignee: IHI CorporationInventors: Kuniaki Iizuka, Toshihiko Kitazawa, Masatoshi Eguchi, Yasushi Asada, Osamu Kagimoto, Kenji Ishikawa, Masashige Takahashi, Yohei Suruga, Suguru Katayama, Asako Yasui

Patent number: 8622691Abstract: The invention provides a supercharger which is provided with a thrust bearing in an outer side of a radial bearing, and can smoothly discharge a fed lubricating oil from a bearing portion so as to reduce a resistance generated by the lubricating oil. The supercharger is provided with a thrust bearing (30) rotatably supporting a thrust force applied to a turbine shaft (12). The thrust bearing (30) is constituted by a disc-shaped thrust collar (32) rotating together with the turbine shaft, and a turbine side thrust bearing (34) and a compressor side thrust bearing (36) inhibiting a movement in an axial direction of the thrust collar.Type: GrantFiled: January 28, 2008Date of Patent: January 7, 2014Assignee: IHI CorporationInventors: Masatoshi Eguchi, Kazuhiro Onitsuka, Masahiro Shimizu
