  • Patent number: 11578769
    Abstract: It is possible to prevent occurrence of a resonance phenomenon of a hydraulic unit and to improve attachability/detachability of the hydraulic unit to/from a bracket. A support section (42, 43) includes: a fixture member (80) that is fixed to a housing (30) for a hydraulic unit (10); and a vibration absorbing member (75) that is interposed between the housing (30) and a bracket (41) and has a through-hole (75a) through which the fixture member (80) passes. The vibration absorbing member (75) includes two vibration absorbing members (75B, 75C, 75D) having different rebound resilience from each other. In a state where the vibration absorbing member (75) is partially accommodated in a recessed section (47) of the bracket (41), the vibration absorbing member (75) is held between the housing (30) and the bracket (41).

  • Publication number: 20180069462
    Abstract: A stepping motor includes a rotor magnet magnetized at N-poles and S-poles arranged alternately in a circumferential direction of a rotor and a stator yoke including salient poles disposed with intervals in the circumferential direction. Stator coils are respectively wound around the salient poles. A number of the poles of the rotor is a multiple of 6. A number of the salient poles of the stator yoke is a multiple of 8. The stator coils are composed of first-phase stator coils and second-phase stator coils. The salient poles are divided into a first group and a second group each of which includes half of the salient poles. The salient poles of the respective groups are alternately arranged in the circumferential direction. A winding direction of each of the stator coils is alternately changed for each of the salient poles in the circumferential direction for the respective groups.

  • Patent number: 9809461
    Abstract: Titanium dioxide and an electro-conductive titanium oxide which each includes particles having a large major-axis length in a large proportion and comprises columnar particles having a satisfactory particle size distribution. A titanium compound, an alkali metal compound, and an oxyphosphorus compound are heated/fired in the presence of titanium dioxide nucleus crystals having an aspect ratio of 2 or higher to grow the titanium dioxide nucleus crystals. Subsequently, a titanium compound, an alkali metal compound, and an oxyphosphorus compound are further added and heated/fired in the presence of the grown titanium dioxide nucleus crystals. Thus, titanium dioxide is produced which comprises columnar particles having a weight-average major-axis length of 7.0-15.0 ?m and in which particles having a major-axis length of 10 ?m or longer account for 15 wt. % or more of all the particles.

  • Publication number: 20150045911
    Abstract: An industrial machine system includes an instruction device, a relay machine, and an industrial machine. The instruction device is configured to wirelessly transmit to the relay machine such that an instruction signal includes a regulation release signal that releases regulation of drive of the industrial machine or a regulation non-release signal that regulates the drive of the industrial machine, and a drive signal. The relay machine is configured to generate a control signal that corresponds to the instruction signal and to transmit the control signal to the industrial machine, when detecting that wireless communication is disconnected, the relay machine generates the control signal that corresponds to the regulation non-release signal and transmits the control signal to the industrial machine.

  • Patent number: 7325665
    Abstract: The ECT_ECU performs a step of determining that an ON failure has occurred in a depressing force switch when the depressing force switch is turned ON while a brake lamp switch is OFF, and setting a flag F; a step of determining whether the brake lamp switch, which is turned OFF at a position on a release side with respect to a depressing force switch setting position, has been turned OFF, when the flag F has been set; and a step of increasing commanded pressure for engaging an input clutch as rapidly as possible, when the brake lamp switch has been turned OFF.

  • Patent number: 7188401
    Abstract: In a motor case 1, recesses 8 are formed in inner surfaces of upper and bottom surface portions 2 and 3 (which are spaced from each other by a distance smaller than the distance between left and right side surface portions 4 and 5), thus reducing the thickness of these surface portions 2 and 3, thereby increasing a space for receiving a stator coil 10 as much as possible. Unlike a construction in which a stator coil is exposed through openings formed in a motor case, the stator coil is covered with the motor case, and therefore the motor is excellent in shielding performance and impact resistance. The motor case 1 has a square tubular shape, and can be formed by blanking, press-forging (for the purpose of forming the recesses) and bending a metal sheet, and the motor case can be produced at a low cost.
