Patent number: 9018940Abstract: A bicycle rotation detecting device is provided with a first electrical connector, a second electrical connector, a rotation detecting circuit and an output part. The second electrical connector is electrically connected to the first electrical connector by an electrical path. The rotation detecting circuit detects a waveform of alternating current in the electrical path and produces a rotation detection signal. The output part is electrically connected to the rotation detecting circuit. The output part outputs either the rotation detection signal of the rotation detecting circuit or a signal based on the rotation detection signal of the rotation detecting circuit.Type: GrantFiled: June 28, 2012Date of Patent: April 28, 2015Assignee: Shimano Inc.Inventors: Yuta Mizutani, Takumi Onogi

Patent number: 7874567Abstract: A bicycle shifting control apparatus controls an electrical power supplied from a power supply to first and second gear shifting devices that are operated by first and second gear shift operating devices, respectively. The bicycle shifting control apparatus includes a first power supply sensor and a controller. The first power supply sensor detects a power level of the power supply. The controller receives a power level signal from the first power supply sensor. The controller performs a stopping operation of the first gear shifting device in response to the first power supply sensor detecting the power level of the power supply being below a first prescribed power level, but the controller transmits a second gear shift signal from the second gear shift operating device to the second gear shifting device to perform a second shifting operation of the second gear shifting device.Type: GrantFiled: March 2, 2009Date of Patent: January 25, 2011Assignee: Shimano Inc.Inventors: Tadashi Ichida, Takumi Onogi, Kazuhiro Fujii, Masahiko Fukuda, Haruyuki Takebayashi, Ryuichiro Takamoto
