  • Patent number: 8701818
    Abstract: A working vehicle includes an engine, a hydraulic pump, a first hydraulic motor, a vehicle speed detecting unit, a parking brake, a parking brake operating member and a control unit. The control unit is configured to determine whether the vehicle speed is equal to or greater than a predetermined threshold when the parking brake operating member is operated. The control unit is configured to execute a brake control that decreases a displacement of the first hydraulic pump and increases a displacement of the first hydraulic motor without activating the parking brake when the vehicle speed is equal to or greater than the predetermined threshold in a state when the vehicle is traveling, and to activate the parking brake when the vehicle speed falls below the predetermined threshold.

  • Patent number: 8262831
    Abstract: A method for forming a circuit pattern is disclosed. A circuit pattern that forms an electrically conductive layer (2L) is formed on an insulating resin (11) that forms a first insulating layer (1L). An insulating resin (13) that forms a second insulating layer (3L) is laminated on the insulating resin (11) on which the circuit pattern has been formed. A trench (14) is formed in the laminated insulating resin (13) to expose the circuit pattern. An electroless plating metal (15) is buried by electroless plating in the trench (14) formed.

  • Patent number: 7065860
    Abstract: A plate yoke has an upper surface formed with a projection and a guiding rail. A new magnet block is transported by sliding on the upper surface of the plate yoke, and is bonded side by side with the projection or a magnet block which is already fixed. During the above operation, a magnetic member is held above the plate yoke. Preferably, the new magnet block is transported toward a corner portion, with side surfaces of the magnet block held parallel to a side surface of the projection and a side surface of the guiding rail respectively. When the magnet unit and the column yoke is connected, the column yoke or the magnet unit is lowered so that a guiding rod attached to an end face of the column yoke is inserted into a hole formed in the magnetic unit. Further, the column yoke is guided by a guiding member disposed between a permanent magnet on the plate yoke and a position where the column yoke is to be connected on the plate yoke.
