  • Patent number: 7896290
    Abstract: A latch device for detecting pressure reduction of a cockpit in an aircraft and releasing a bolt and a stopper device are provided so as to prevent a cockpit door from unexpectedly opening by an impact. A main latch device 100 of the cockpit door has a frame 112 fixed to a door panel, and a latch base 120 is mounted to the frame 112 capable of pivotal rotation with a pin 122 as a fulcrum. A bolt 132 is inserted into a catch in conjunction with a door handle 130. A holding/releasing portion 150 holds the latch base 120. When a pressure difference occurs between a cockpit 4 and a cabin 5, a pressure-sensing piston 160 is pushed in, a trigger 170 and a flapper 180 are rotated and the latch base 120 is released. A stopper device 190 regulates movement of the trigger 170 by movement of an inertial piston 192 when an impact force is applied from the cabin 5 side.

  • Publication number: 20090000277
    Abstract: A fuel addition valve that adds fuel into the exhaust gas passage of the engine in the form of fine fuel droplets, an upstream NOx adsorption-reduction catalyst, and a downstream NOx adsorption-reduction catalyst are arranged in this order. Platinum Pt and palladium Pd, as noble metal, are supported on the downstream NOx adsorption-reduction NOx catalyst such that the ratio of the mole number of the platinum Pt to the sum of the mole numbers of the platinum Pt and the palladium Pd is approx. 50% to approx. 80%. Only platinum Pt is supported on the upstream NOx adsorption-reduction catalyst. According to this structure, even when liquid fuel is supplied into exhaust gas, NOx can be effectively released from the NOx adsorption-reduction catalyst, and further the amount of NOx that the NOx adsorption-reduction catalyst can adsorb at a low temperature increases.

  • Patent number: 7285787
    Abstract: A microscope has a light source that emits light to illuminate a sample, a first wavelength selection member that selectively transmits the light from the light source, a light splitter that reflects the light from the first wavelength selection member to epi-illuminate the sample and transmits the light emitted from the sample, and a second wavelength selection member that selectively transmits the light transmitted through the light splitter. The light splitter is constituted of a transparent member and a dichroic mirror coat disposed on the transparent member. The dichroic mirror coat is constituted of a stacked layer that efficiently reflects light having a wavelength selected by the first wavelength selection member and a stacked layer that reflects light on a short wavelength side from the light selected by the first wavelength selection member, light on a long wavelength side, light of the same band, or combined light.

  • Patent number: 7212272
    Abstract: An electro-optical device and an electronic apparatus are provided with reduced wiring resistance. A second wiring pattern for connecting an upper wiring connected to a mounting terminal to a first inter-substrate conducting terminal includes a base electrode. An inorganic insulating film is not attached to the sides of the base electrode. As a result, the upper wiring on each side of the base electrode and the first inter-substrate conducting terminal are electrically connected to the base electrode through the sides. The path from the mounting terminal to the first inter-substrate conducting terminal is formed in the order of upper wiring, one side of the base electrode, base electrode, the other side of the base electrode, and then the first inter-substrate conducting terminal. The second wiring pattern uses the base electrode formed of a metal film to sharply reduce wiring resistance.

  • Publication number: 20060156132
    Abstract: The clock cycle during the shift operation is set shorter than the clock cycle during the capture operation in the scan test circuit. For example, the clock cycle during the shift operation is set to 20 nano second, while the clock cycle during the capture operation is set to 100 nano second. The clock is fed from a LSI tester outside of the LSI through the clock terminal CLK. The cycle of the clock can be switched to synchronize with the change of the scan enable signal SCANEN by the LSI tester. The time for shift operation can be shortened in this invention, leading to the shorter scan test time.

  • Patent number: 6945497
    Abstract: A cockpit door body 10 can be opened toward a cockpit in a direction shown by arrow R1 by a crew inside a cockpit 3 by manipulating a knob on a first hinge device 40. When rapid decompression occurs in the cockpit, a mechanical pressure-sensitive device of the first hinge device 40 operates to release a bolt from a catch. By the difference in pressure between the cabin and the cockpit, the door body 10 opens in the direction of arrow R1 to thereby reduce pressure difference. When rapid decompression occurs in cabin 4, a second latch device 60 detects this pressure difference and operates mechanically to rotate a link lever 62 to release a stopper 64 from a catch 66. Flaps 30 and 32 are opened toward cabin 4 in the direction of arrow R2 by the difference in pressure between the cockpit and cabin to thereby reduce pressure difference.
