  • Patent number: 10344724
    Abstract: In a high-pressure pump, a relief valve main body has a rod shape. A relief valve seat portion is integrated with an end of a relief valve main body so as to be capable of contacting a relief valve seat. The relief valve main body is inserted into a guide hole portion of a support portion. The guide hole portion slidably supports an outer wall of the relief valve main body so as to guide a reciprocating movement of the relief valve main body in the axial direction. A fuel guide portion is provided at an end portion of the relief valve main body facing the pressurizing chamber and can guide a flow of the fuel in a direction radially outward of the relief valve main body on the way from the pressurizing chamber toward the valve seat portion.

  • Patent number: 9932949
    Abstract: A partitioning portion partitions a fuel chamber into a first space, which receives a pressurizing chamber forming portion and is communicated with an inflow pipe, and a second space, which is communicated with an outflow pipe. A flow passage forming portion extends from the partitioning portion toward the first space side and forms a communicating flow passage, which communicates between the first space and the second space. Thereby, vapor contained in the fuel, which is returned from a pressurizing chamber to the fuel chamber, is accumulated as bubbles in the first space, which receives the pressurizing chamber forming portion. The first space is communicated with the outside through the communicating flow passage and the second space. Therefore, outputting of air bubbles of the first space to the outside can be effectively limited in comparison to a case where the fuel chamber is directly communicated with the outside.

  • Patent number: 8121008
    Abstract: An evaluation apparatus obtains an evaluation value of a signal read from an optical recording medium includes a reading device reading a signal recorded on the optical recording medium. Edge positions are detected of the read signal acquired by the reading device. A frequency distribution table is generated of the edge positions on the basis of an accumulation result of information of the edge positions detected by the edge position detection device. A first calculation of a T degree value is represented as [{?fi×(xi?A)(2m+1)}/F]{1/(2m+1)}??Formula 1 (wherein m is a natural number excluding zero) The variables xi, fi, F, and A represent the value of each of the classes, the frequency of each of the classes, the sum of the frequencies, and the weighted average value, respectively.

  • Patent number: 5535065
    Abstract: An apparatus for recording and reproducing a signal on and from a record medium includes a reproducing system signal processing circuit (21) for reproducing a recorded information, an output circuit (25) for outputting a reproducing digital audio signal thus reproduced in the form of a predetermined format, an input circuit (29) for converting a signal input from the outside into a signal of a predetermined format and a recording system signal processing circuit (35) for recording at least an information. This apparatus includes switches (20), (23), (27) and (32) for selectively switching the recording and reproducing lines or input and output lines. Since the recording and reproducing lines or input and output lines are selectively switched, all portions that should be diagnosed can be diagnosed. Also, a circuit size can be reduced and a space factor can be improved. Hence, manufacturing cost can be reduced.

  • Patent number: 5166835
    Abstract: An apparatus for editing a digital audio signal includes parallel stationary transducer heads for reproducing the digital audio signal from a magnetic tape the same on the tape after it is modified by a mixing circuit. A digital-to-analogue converter and an analogue-to-digital converter are connected to input and output terminals of the mixing circuit respectively so that a reproduced digital audio signal can be modified in an analogue manner and then digitized for recording. A delay circuit having a delay time corresponding to a total delay time of the converters is further provided so that the reproduced digital audio signal and the modified digital audio signal are received without relative time delay with respect to each other by a cross-fader circuit for recording.
