Patents by Inventor Takehiko Ishizawa

Takehiko Ishizawa has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 8079257
    Abstract: A rotation is corrected by rotationally driving a supercharger rotor (a turbine impeller (2), a compressor impeller (6) and a shaft (12)) by an electric motor (18) in a state of detaching a turbine housing (4) and a compressor housing (8), and detecting data necessary for correcting the rotation inbalance of a motor-driven supercharger (10). Further, the electric motor (18) is driven by using a dedicated motor driver (27) supplying a larger electric power than a power supply of an acceleration assisting motor driver.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 6382910
    Abstract: An adiabatic expansion apparatus 22 with a built-in turbine impeller 12 adiabatically expands gas at a cryogenic temperature when the impeller rotates. A control device 24 is connected coaxially with the turbine impeller to control the impeller. A variable nozzle mechanism 30 is provided for varying the throat area for the gas at a cryogenic temperature to be introduced into the turbine impeller. The adiabatic expansion apparatus is installed in a vacuum vessel 14, and a control device is disposed outside the vacuum vessel. The variable nozzle mechanism comprises a nozzle component 32 built into the adiabatic expansion apparatus, and a driving component 34 installed outside the vacuum vessel. The nozzle component and the driving component are connected to the turbine impeller with a coaxial, thin cylindrical component 36, and drive the nozzle component when the cylindrical component rotates about the axis Z of the turbine impeller.
