Publication number: 20230256499Abstract: A transport device includes a moving mechanism and a plate. The moving mechanism includes a pinion, a conversion mechanism, which converts vertical motion of an upper die assembly into rotational motion of the pinion, and a rack, which is moved as the pinion rotates. The moving mechanism is configured to move, when the rack moves from the top dead center position to a bottom dead center position, the plate to a position that is away from a die apparatus in a conveying direction and is below a conveying surface. The pinion includes a toothless portion that does not mesh with the rack when the rack moves between the bottom dead center position and a middle position that is between the top dead center position and the bottom dead center position.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 23, 2021Publication date: August 17, 2023Applicant: TOYOTA BOSHOKU KABUSHIKI KAISHAInventors: Kazuyuki HIRATA, Ryota SASAKI, Masashi OHARA, Masato YASUE

Patent number: 11326531Abstract: A purge control unit opens the purge control valve to supply, as purge gas to an intake passage, the evaporative fuel together with air in response to a predetermined purge request. An air-fuel ratio detection unit detects an air-fuel ratio of the internal combustion engine. A concentration learning unit estimates a fuel concentration in the purge gas based on a change in the air-fuel ratio when the purge control unit causes the purge gas to be supplied to the intake passage and to perform a fuel concentration learning to update a concentration learning value, which is a learning value of the fuel concentration in the purge gas, based on the estimated fuel concentration. An injection control unit corrects a fuel injection amount based on the concentration learning value in a period in which the concentration learning unit performs the fuel concentration learning in the lean combustion operation.Type: GrantFiled: February 26, 2021Date of Patent: May 10, 2022Assignee: DENSO CORPORATIONInventor: Ryota Sasaki

Patent number: 8373938Abstract: Among three lenses housed in a lens barrel, a first lens and a second lens are adjacent to each other. A position regulating section is a part where a first protrusion of the first lens is formed. A shielding member is provided at a position interposed between the first lens and the second lens and limits a passing luminous flux. An engagement section is a part of the shielding member, and in this part, there is formed an opening into which the first protrusion of the first lens enters.
