  • Patent number: 8482086
    Abstract: A plurality of three-dimensional structure configuring devices, each including an elastic body in which micro three-dimensional structure elements fixed to a substrate member are placed so as to be covered therewith and which is fixed to the substrate member, are placed within a film-like elastic body with the substrate members thereof spaced apart from one another so as to configure a three-dimensional structure. Thereby, the plurality of three-dimensional structure configuring devices can be placed with desired intervals of arrangement and in desired positions within the film-like elastic body and so that various specifications can be addressed.

  • Patent number: 8440089
    Abstract: A plurality of micro three-dimensional structure elements each having a movable structure fixed on a sacrifice layer, and fixation portions of the micro three-dimensional structure elements for the sacrifice layer are arranged into a film-like elastic body, and then the sacrifice layer is removed. Thus, a three-dimensional structure in which the individual micro three-dimensional structure elements are arranged independently of one another within the elastic body is manufactured.

  • Publication number: 20060111814
    Abstract: A mobile robot, which enables sure detection of external environments including obstacles around the mobile robot, without being affected by a posture change of the mobile robot, and includes: an obstacle detection sensor, placed on a stage that can sway, which detects an obstacle around the mobile robot; and an actuator which controls a posture of the obstacle detection sensor in a pitching direction by oscillating the stage.

  • Patent number: 4757791
    Abstract: A control rack for driving the fuel injection quantity control member of an injection pump which supplies fuel to a diesel engine is driven by a magnetic actuator mechanism. The position of the control rack is transmitted to a position sensor via a tie bar which is pivotally supported by a support shaft. The sensor detects a signal corresponding to an actual amount of fuel to be injected. The support shaft is supported by a control member which is pivotally supported. The control member sets a reference position of the support shaft, and hence, sets the relative positional relationship between the control rack and the position sensor. A portion of the control member extends outside a housing, so that the reference position of the tie bar can be corrected outside the housing. The actuator mechanism is controlled by an instruction from a control circuit which calculates an optimal amount of fuel to be injected.

  • Patent number: 4495914
    Abstract: An electric governor of the type, in which the fuel injection regulating member of a fuel injection pump is driven by means of a solenoid type electromagnetic actuator. The governor includes a link mechanism being rotatably attached to the casing of the governor. In the link mechanism, the electromagnetic actuator is connected to its first point, the fuel injection regulating member is connected to its second point, and the force of a spring for acting against the attraction of the electromagnetic actuator is exerted upon its third point.

  • Patent number: 4425889
    Abstract: An electric governor for electrically controlling the fuel injection amount of a fuel injection pump has two engine speed detectors for producing engine speed indication signals. One of the two detectors produces the signal by using a gear coupled to the pump drive shaft and electromagnetic pickup, and the other of the detectors produces the signal by an output signal of an alternator. Normally the engine speed indication signal is selected from the electromagnetic pickup and used for control of the fuel injection amount, and the output signal of the alternator is used when the electromagnetic pickup generates does not generate the normal output signal.
