Publication number: 20120328968Abstract: A fuel cell system includes a fuel cell, an air supply flow passage, an air exhaust flow passage, a compressor, an expander turbine, an electric motor, a dynamic pressure gas-lubricated bearing device, and a bearing air exhaust supply flow passage. The expander turbine is disposed in the air exhaust flow passage to generate driving energy using air output from the fuel cell. The expander turbine has a rotation shaft shared by the compressor. The electric motor is to rotate the rotation shaft. The dynamic pressure gas-lubricated bearing device is to support the rotation shaft using part of air discharged from the compressor as actuation air. Air passing through the dynamic pressure gas-lubricated bearing device is supplied to the expander turbine through the bearing air exhaust supply flow passage.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 14, 2012Publication date: December 27, 2012Applicant: HONDA MOTOR CO., LTD.Inventor: Seiji HONDA

Patent number: 8050803Abstract: A power feeding system includes a power feeding apparatus and a power line communication unit. The power feeding apparatus feeds power from a power line to an external apparatus. The power line communication unit communicates via the power line, which is a communication medium. The power feeding apparatus includes an acquisition unit, a restriction unit and a determination unit. The acquisition unit acquires restriction information used to restrict the feeding of the power to the external apparatus. The restriction unit restricts the feeding of the power to the external apparatus to which the power feeding apparatus is to feed the power. The determination unit determines as to whether or not the restriction unit has to restrict the feeding of the power, based on the restriction information acquired by the acquisition unit.Type: GrantFiled: March 27, 2007Date of Patent: November 1, 2011Assignee: Fuji Xerox Co., Ltd.Inventors: Masahiko Miyata, Seiji Honda

Patent number: 5809369Abstract: An image processing system integral with an image output unit having a power saving mode comprises a temperature detection section for monitoring a fuser temperature in a power saving mode or a rotation detector for a polygonal motor, a control section for outputting a control signal at a predetermined timing, and an energization control section capable of turning on/off output in response to the control signal from the control section. The timing of a power saving mode off signal output by the control section is when the fuser temperature lowers to a temperature or the polygonal motor take longer to ramp up than the time until the image output unit, after the power saving mode is released, is placed in a reprintable state becomes longer than the time required for setting up the data required when image processing is performed. Thus, the transition time to the copyable state as a whole is used efficiently, and power consumption can be reduced.Type: GrantFiled: October 28, 1996Date of Patent: September 15, 1998Assignee: Fuji Xerox Co., Ltd.Inventors: Takeshi Furuya, Katsuyuki Kouno, Mitsuo Shimizu, Seiji Honda, Kouichi Azuma, Izumi Takahashi, Masahiko Miyata, Atsumi Kurita, Jun Kamei, Kenji Suzuki, Nobuyuki Kodera, Fumiya Shiseki
