  • Patent number: 8210019
    Abstract: The invention provides a method for producing a pearlitic rail by rough hot rolling and finish hot rolling a billet. In the finish hot rolling, the billet is rolled at a rail head surface temperature in a range of not higher than 900° C. to not lower than the Ar3 transformation point or Arcm transformation point to produce a head cumulative reduction of area of not less than 20%, where the reaction force ratio of the finish rolling is not less than 1.25. The finish hot rolled rail head surface is subjected to accelerated cooling or spontaneous cooling to a temperature of 550° C. or less at a cooling rate of 2 to 30° C./seconds, thereby refining the rail head structure to attain a hardness within a predetermined range, and improving rail wear resistance and ductility.

  • Publication number: 20120014025
    Abstract: The present invention is directed to achieve longer life of a driving element for driving a load without maintaining a stop state of the driving element even in the case where overcurrent occurs in the driving element. An overcurrent protection circuit monitors current flowing in driving elements for driving a load and, in the case where it is detected that the current becomes a predetermined threshold or larger, performs a control for stopping driving of the load only for predetermined protection time in accordance with a detection result. The overcurrent protection circuit counts the number of detection times and changes the predetermined protection time in accordance with the number of detection times.

  • Patent number: 7613432
    Abstract: A mobile communication system controls switching a transmission diversity system for each channel, and improves the quality of the channel. When the channel type in an uplink is a channel for transmitting voice, open loop transmission diversity is used (steps S1?S3). When the channel type in an uplink is a channel for transmitting a packet, closed loop transmission diversity is used (steps S1?S2). Since the open loop transmission diversity or the closed loop transmission diversity which ever is more appropriate can be used, a transmission diversity system can be appropriately switched for each channel, thereby improving the quality of the channel.
