Publication number: 20190061715Abstract: Provided is a brake control system that can reduce use of a mechanical braking in a railway vehicle using an automatic train control (ATC). The present disclosure is a brake control system for a railway vehicle using an ATC. The brake control system includes: a main electric motor, a main conversion device, a brake controller, and an ATC device. The main electric motor generates a braking force by converting kinetic energy of a wheel of the railway vehicle to electrical energy. The main conversion device actuates the main electric motor. The brake controller outputs a braking signal to the main conversion device. The ATC device outputs a braking command to the brake controller based on the ATC. In addition, the ATC device outputs a preliminary braking signal for energizing the main electric motor prior to output of the braking command.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 29, 2018Publication date: February 28, 2019Inventors: Hirokazu KATO, Gakuji KOBAYASHI, Tomoya KATO

Patent number: 9748396Abstract: As source and drain wiring, a base layer and a cap layer are each formed of a MoNiNb alloy film, and a low-resistance layer is formed of Cu. The resultant laminated metal film is patterned through one-time wet etching to form a drain electrode and a source electrode. Cu serving as a main wiring layer does not corrode because of being covered with a MoNiNb alloy having good corrosion resistance. Further, even when a protective insulating film including an oxide is formed by plasma CVD in an oxidizing atmosphere, Cu is not oxidized. With the wet etching, the sidewall taper angle of the laminated metal film can be controlled to 20 degrees or more and less than 70 degrees.Type: GrantFiled: December 6, 2016Date of Patent: August 29, 2017Assignee: Panasonic Liquid Crystal Display Co., Ltd.Inventor: Tomoya Kato
