  • Publication number: 20250116347
    Abstract: A motor-operated valve includes a motor, valve seat, valve body, magnetic gear, and controller. The motor generates rotational force when powered, allowing the valve body to open and close the valve port, which permits fluid passage. The magnetic gear transmits this force from the motor to the valve body. The controller regulates the electric current supplied to the motor. During fully-closed operation, the controller limits the current to less than a fully-closed current limit value, ensuring the valve port is completely closed. This limit value is higher than the adjusting current value, which is the current supplied during valve opening adjustments.

  • Publication number: 20250119047
    Abstract: A power transmission device includes a magnetic gear with an input shaft magnet that receives rotational driving force, a magnetic modulator to modulate magnetic flux, a multi-pole magnet with more poles than the input shaft magnet, and an output shaft rotating with either the magnetic modulator or the multi-pole magnet. The device also features a magnetic circuit where the magnetic flux flows in parallel from the input shaft magnet. Between the input shaft magnet and the magnetic modulator is a flux-forming member with higher magnetic permeability than a vacuum, forming a short-circuiting flux path. The magnetic circuit creates two paths: a torque generation path, where magnetic flux flows through the magnetic modulator and multi-pole magnet, and a short-circuit flux path, where it bypasses the magnetic modulator. The flux-forming member's magnetic permeability is within ±20% of the value that maximizes torque.

  • Publication number: 20240028674
    Abstract: A method is provided that determines authenticity of a second recording medium mounted in a second device by using a first device mounted with a first recording medium. A non-user area of the first recording medium previously records first identification information and first algorithm data. A controller of the first recording medium causes a first display device to display a first image pattern and, after display of the first image pattern, causes a first imaging device to capture a second image pattern displayed on a second display device of the second device. The controller decodes first code data from the second image pattern and utilizes the first algorithm data to perform arithmetic that uses the first identification information and a first variable value. The controller determines the second recording medium to be authentic if the decoded first code data matches an arithmetic result.
