  • Patent number: 7806041
    Abstract: A cylinder body includes a first guide surface made up from first guide grooves and a first bulging portion, wherein a slide table is displaceably supported on the first guide surface via a guide mechanism. Additionally, guide members of a guide block that constitutes the guide mechanism are inserted into and fixed within the first guide grooves. Further, the cylinder body is equipped with a second guide surface, which is formed with substantially the same shape as the first guide surface. In the event that the first guide surface is oriented upwardly and the slide table is installed thereon, the second guide surface acts as a mounting surface, whereas, in the event that the second guide surface is oriented upwardly and the slide table is installed thereon, the first guide surface acts as the mounting surface.

  • Patent number: 7690869
    Abstract: An inner member having a supply port is installed at the inside of a housing, wherein the housing and the inner member are connected together by connecting bolts. Air is supplied to the supply port of the inner member and is directed and introduced through communication passages into an annular passage. Thereafter, the air is directed outwardly from a plurality of lead-out holes, which communicate with the annular passage, in a swirling direction with respect to an annular recess facing the workpiece. In addition, by having the air flow along the annular recess, which is formed with a substantially trapezoidal shape in cross section, the workpiece is maintained in a non-contact state with respect to a holding surface of the inner member.

  • Patent number: 5902210
    Abstract: A control for a vehicle fitted with an internal combustion engine as a power source. At the time of a driver deceleration intention (when travelling downhill), then with an arrangement where the opening control for the throttle valve and the fuel supply control (fuel cut off control or the like) are automatically controlled in order to obtain a predetermined target vehicle acceleration, when the intention of the driver shifts from a deceleration intention to a non deceleration intention, and hence the automatic control reverts to normal control, the fuel supply control is returned to normal control once the throttle valve opening has reached a predetermined opening. In this way, it is possible to avoid the situation where for example, the fuel supply control reverts to normal control with the throttle valve opened more than necessary. Consequently the occurrence of shock or an unintended acceleration due to a mismatch in the throttle opening at the time of reverting to normal control can be suppressed.
