  • Publication number: 20230013900
    Abstract: A chamber in which heating treatment is performed by irradiating a semiconductor wafer with light and a combustible gas supply source are connected in communication with each other by a combustible gas supply pipe. An electrical flow rate controller for regulating a supply flow rate of a combustible gas, and the like are interposed in the combustible gas supply pipe. Part of the combustible gas supply pipe which includes the electrical flow rate controller and the like that can be an ignition source is surrounded by an inner enclosure. Nitrogen which is a noncombustible gas is supplied to an inner space inside the inner enclosure. The noncombustible gas is supplied to the inner space, and a gas remaining in the inner space is discharged, whereby the concentration of oxygen in the inner space is decreased to below an explosion limit. This prevents fires and explosions of the combustible gas.

  • Patent number: 9740648
    Abstract: A valve control unit includes a data reading/selecting unit, which reads each of signals transmitted onto a serial bus, and selects a flow rate data signal from among the read signals. Therefore, the valve control unit can acquire the flow rate data signal from the serial bus without allowing the flow rate data signal to pass via the master IC. As a result, it is made possible to ensure real time properties of feedback control, which adjusts a needle valve based on a measurement result of a flowmeter, while reducing a load applied to a CPU that controls the master IC. Moreover, it is not necessary to provide an additional instrument for transferring analog signals between slave devices, and accordingly, a size increase and cost increase of an apparatus can be suppressed.

  • Patent number: 9020718
    Abstract: A torque converter (1) connecting an engine (14) and a transmission (15) of a vehicle is provided with a lockup clutch (2), and a controller (5) is programmed to increase an engagement force of a lockup clutch (2) under open loop control before shifting to feedback control of the engaging force using a target slip rotation speed. When an engine output torque rapidly decreases during open loop control (S59, S60), the controller (5) decreases the engaging force according to a variation amount of the engine output torque (S61, S65), thereby preventing an unintentional sudden engagement of the lockup clutch (2) due to decrease in the engine output torque.

  • Patent number: 8909490
    Abstract: An object of the present invention is to provide a battery state estimation device and a battery state estimation method which identify parameter of a secondary battery with high accuracy. A current and a terminal voltage of secondary battery are detected, then by using the current measured value and terminal voltage measured value thus detected, the terminal voltage of secondary battery based on predetermined battery model is estimated, and the parameter of the secondary battery is identified such that a difference between terminal voltage measured value and voltage estimated value is converged to zero. In the identifying of parameter of secondary battery, the terminal voltage measured value and terminal voltage estimated value are subjected to filter treatment by low pass filter having a common high frequency breaking characteristic and the terminal voltage measured value and terminal voltage estimated value subjected to the filter treatment are used.

  • Patent number: 8829848
    Abstract: A battery charging control device for controlling a power generation device installed in an electric vehicle sets a battery energy management area using a current position of a host vehicle as a reference, detects at least one travelable route within the battery energy management area, calculates a battery energy management upper limit value and a battery energy management lower limit value on the basis of a maximum value and a minimum value of energy values required to travel to respective points on the travelable route from the current position, and calculates a battery energy management width by subtracting the management lower limit value from the management upper limit value. When the battery energy management width is not within a predetermined range, the battery energy management area is modified so as to enter the predetermined range.
