  • Patent number: 7200470
    Abstract: A train detection system includes transmitters receivers connected to a track circuit for transmitting and receiving a train detecting signal to and from the track circuit, and a control device on the ground, which transmits the train detecting signal to the transmitter and receives the train detection signal from the receiver. The transmitter adds a first unique code data to the train detecting signal received from the control device and transmits the same to the track circuit, and the receiver adds a second unique code data to the train detecting signal being added of the first unique code data received from the track circuit and transmits the same to the control device. The control device on the ground includes a storage portion and a collating portion which collates whether the first and second unique code data received from the receiver coincide with data stored in advance in the storage portion.

  • Patent number: 5787910
    Abstract: A washing apparatus is compact as well as easy to handle, with which a user can wash down dirt effectively in a short time. Washing liquid supplied from the washing liquid supplying means is made in the form of high-speed jet liquid by a high-speed jet stream spouting means. The high-speed jet liquid is spouted from the aperture of the first cover to wash down dirt by the impact given by the high-speed jet liquid. A washing object is dewatered by gas spouted from the aperture by a blowing means. The high-speed jet stream spouting means is comprised of a rotating object having a plurality of radial shape flow paths extending from a center portion to a circumference of the rotating object, and a liquid supplying portion for supplying washing liquid to a central portion of the radial shape flow paths. A rotating means rotates the rotating object so that washing liquid supplied in the radial shape flow paths is accelerated in the direction of a circumference as well as a radius of the rotating object by rotation.

  • Patent number: 5630550
    Abstract: A fuel injection system permits the use of hydraulic control oil as a pressure transmitting medium and enables reliable valve opening and closing performance regardless of operating environment. The housing of the fuel injection system is constituted by a valve main body and a cylinder main body, the flowing channel of fuel being airtightly separated from a pressure control chamber. The cylinder main body incorporates a piezoelectric element, which changes the fluid pressure of the pressure transmitting medium in the pressure control chamber, a piston, and a cylinder having an inflow/outflow hole. A needle valve is installed, penetrating the cylinder main body so that the distal end thereof is located in a needle guide cavity of the valve main body and the other end thereof is located in the cylinder.
