  • Patent number: 7703862
    Abstract: In a brake hydraulic pressure control device for a vehicle, a plurality of electromagnetic valves are mounted on a first surface of a housing, while an electric motor for driving pumps built in the housing are mounted on a second surface of the housing opposite to the first surface. A cover member for covering the electromagnetic valves is attached to the first surface, and a main ECU for controlling the electromagnetic valves and the electric motor is arranged in a space defined by the cover member and the first surface. One or more spaces are formed between the electric motor and the second surface to receive a plurality of pressure sensors for detecting hydraulic pressures at various parts in a hydraulic brake device of the vehicle.

  • Publication number: 20090189440
    Abstract: In a brake hydraulic pressure control device, a main ECU is provided with a first converter for converting serial signals or parallel signals inputted thereto into parallel signals or serial signals to output the converted signals, while a motor ECU arranged away from the main ECU is provided with a second converter for converting serial signals or parallel signals inputted thereto into parallel signals or serial signals to output the converted signals. The first and second converters are electrically connected with each other through at least one conductive member capable of serial communication.

  • Patent number: 6851762
    Abstract: A hydraulic booster is provided between a M/C pressure and a W/C pressure. The hydraulic booster is composed of a pump and an amplifying piston amplifying the brake fluid amount discharged from the pump. The brake fluid discharged from the amplifying piston is supplied to the W/C via a first pipeline. The brake fluid discharged from the pump is supplied directly to the W/C via a second pipeline. First and a second control valves select the first or the second pipeline as a pressurizing path to the wheel cylinder.

  • Publication number: 20020140284
    Abstract: A drain port conduit of an ABS actuator, which extends in a housing straight and perpendicularly to ground for making a backpressure chamber communicate with an outside of the housing, is provided on a side of the backpressure chamber with a small diameter portion and on a side of the ground with a large diameter portion. A ring plate is press fitted to the large diameter portion at an axial end thereof on a side of the ground. A diameter of a hole of the ring plate is smaller than an inner diameter of the small diameter portion so that water is restrained from entering into the drain port conduit and, even if entered, from reaching the backpressure chamber.

  • Patent number: 5511591
    Abstract: Methods and dispensers which are used for filling liquid crystal into a LCD cell. The methods use a liquid crystal dispenser able to release liquid crystal with sufficient controllability at an evacuated atmosphere. Liquid crystal is filled through an inlet of an assembled LCD cell, or filled by laminating an upper substrate with a lower substrate on which liquid crystal has been dropped. The invented liquid crystal dispensers have an opening, in addition to the opening for a capillary, through which interior air bubbles can be released out so as not to be released from the capillary.

  • Patent number: 4955294
    Abstract: A foldable table with a table top adapted to be positioned erect when not in use, and to be set in either a horizontal state or a slightly slanted state. The foldable table comprises on each side thereof a locking mechanism contained within a housing. A first click member, a second click member and a locking disc are rotatably mounted in the locking mechanism, and the locking disc is adapted to be locked by engagement with the first click member and the second click member so that any shaking of the table top in either the horizontal state or the slanted state can be effectively prevented. The table top can be folded by disengaging the first and second click members from the locking disc. The setting or folding operation of the table top is conducted by lifting up the outer end of a lock releasing lever attached to the locking mechanism.
