  • Publication number: 20170268599
    Abstract: A lock-up device for a torque converter transmits a torque from a front cover to a transmission-side member through a turbine. The lock-up device includes a clutch portion and a damper portion. The clutch portion includes a clutch plate and transmits the torque from the front cover toward the turbine. The damper portion includes an elastic member, a holding member and an output-side member. The elastic member attenuates a fluctuation in the torque. The holding member holds the elastic member and is provided with an engaging part integrated therewith. The engaging part is engaged with the clutch plate. The output-side member is rotatable relatively to the holding member within a range of a predetermined angle. The output-side member transmits the torque toward the turbine when the torque is transmitted to the elastic member through the holding member.

  • Publication number: 20170268582
    Abstract: A clutch portion is disposed between a front cover and a turbine. A piston is movable in an axial direction and turns the clutch portion into a torque transmission state. A sleeve supports an inner peripheral surface of the piston such that the piston is movable in the axial direction. An oil chamber is supplied a hydraulic oil for activating the piston to turn the clutch portion into the torque transmission state. The sleeve includes an inner peripheral side oil channel and an outer peripheral side oil channel. The inner peripheral side oil channel leads the hydraulic oil residing on an inner peripheral side of the sleeve to an outer peripheral side. The outer peripheral side oil channel leads the hydraulic oil led thereto through the inner peripheral side oil channel to the oil chamber.

  • Patent number: 8868625
    Abstract: The present invention provides a configuration in which a service corresponding to a user can be provided by using an apparatus near the user, even when the user moves from one location to another and apparatuses near the user change. A mobile apparatus carried by the user forms cells, with the mobile apparatus itself being the master, collects information of nearby apparatuses from a space directory (SDR), which stores information of directly-accessible slaves or nearby apparatuses, and generates and updates mobile directory information in a storage unit based on the collected information. Accordingly, the user can obtain the information of nearby information processors unconsciously without performing a special process and, thus, the user can receive services, such as content distribution and communication services, by using the nearby apparatuses based on the obtained information.
