  • Patent number: 11590559
    Abstract: An insert including a taper is covered with a molten metal. A metal molded product with the insert joined thereto is generated by semi-cooling the molten metal to a press-fitting temperature which is higher than a recrystallization temperature of the molten metal and lower than a melting point of the molten metal. A fitting hole which is filled with the insert is formed in the metal molded product. The taper is fitted into the fitting hole. An undercut is not formed in front of a tip of the taper. The insert is press-fitted into the fitting hole while pressing and extending the fitting hole with the taper in a thinning direction of the taper at a press-fitting temperature. The metal molded product is further cooled with the press-fitting maintained.

  • Publication number: 20150278088
    Abstract: A memory control apparatus associates logical addresses with corresponding physical addresses in a non-volatile storage device, and divides the physical addresses in the non-volatile storage device into addresses for complete erasure and other addresses and manages those addresses in the divided manner if a complete erasure mode is set. In the case where data stored in the non-volatile storage device has been instructed to be erased based on a logical address, the memory control apparatus completely erases data at the physical address associated with the logical address in the case where the physical address belongs to the addresses for complete erasure, and cancels a link to the data at the physical address associated with the logical address in the case where the physical address does not belong to the addresses for complete erasure.

  • Patent number: 8963468
    Abstract: A motor control device includes an anomaly detection means that detects an anomaly occurring on power feeding paths of respective phases on the basis of first electric current values, second electric current values of the respective phases and a phase electric current value obtained by the first electric current values and the second electric current values. When at least one of an absolute value of the first electric current value and an absolute value of the second electric current value exceeds a first threshold value corresponding to a limit value of an electric current detection and an absolute value of the phase electric current value is smaller than a second threshold value corresponding to zero in any one phase, the anomaly detection means determines that an anomaly of an electric current sensor has occurred as regards the corresponding phase.
