Abstract: A solenoid actuator (1) attached to hydraulic equipment comprises a shaft (5) connected to the hydraulic equipment, a plunger (4) fixed to the shaft (5), a coil (12) which magnetically drives the plunger (4), and a first bearing (7) and a second bearing (8) supporting the shaft (5) on either sides of the plunger (4). A plunger front chamber (74) is formed between the first bearing (7) and the plunger (4), and a plunger rear chamber (75) is formed between the plunger (4) and the second bearing (8). By providing a plunger exterior oil passage (63) on the outside of the plunger (4) to connect the plunger front chamber (74) to the plunger rear chamber (75), working oil flows through the plunger exterior oil passage (63) every time the plunger (4) strokes, thereby preventing a deposit of contaminant on the plunger (4) without increasing a stroke resistance of the plunger (4).

Abstract: A variable capacity vane pump (100) has a pump housing (10) having a high-load bearing part (10a) on which a higher load is exerted than another part when the pump vane pump (100) operates. A control valve (21) for varying a capacity of the vane pump (100) is provided in a valve housing (28) which is formed integrally in the pump housing (10). By arranging the valve housing (28) on the same side of the pump housing (10) as the high-load bearing part (10a) with respect to the rotation axis of the vane pump (100), the high-load bearing part (10a) can be reinforced without increasing the size of the vane pump (100).

Abstract: A vane pump can effectively utilize the total quantity of a working fluid delivered from a vane section. The pump can be used for fluid pressure operated equipment requiring a high flow rate, does not create torque loss due to a throttle valve, and can prevent the occurrence of cavitation caused by a shortage of suction. The vane pump pressurizes and delivers a working fluid through a vane section. A returning working fluid flowing through a return port is throttled and accelerated by a throttle valve, and a working fluid sent from a suction port is attracted by the accelerated returning working fluid so that the returning working fluid and the working fluid sent from a tank are sent into the vane section.

A width of the concave portion (23) and a width of the return port (12) each are greater than a width of the land portion (11) and a groove bottom (23a) of the concave portion (23) is formed to be a flat plane generally in proportion to an axis line of the spool (6).

Abstract: A user authentication system and method for a communications network is provided. The credential authority publishes an accumulator and issues tokens and credentials to the users who are authorized to access a service. The user computes by himself a derived credential based on the credential issued by the credential authority, and proves to the verifier using the derived credential. If a new user is authorized, other users and the verifier need not update any data. If a user ever authorized is banned, i.e., his/her token is revoked, the credential authority computes the updated accumulator based on the token issued to the banned user, and publishes a revocation increment data comprising the updated accumulator and the increment data about the revoked token. Other users compute their updated credentials by themselves based on the updated revocation increment data received.

Abstract: The invention provides a malleable pseudonym certificate system and method for a communication network. According to one embodiment of the invention, a user acquires a root proof from a trusted entity, generates one or more pseudonym certificates based on the root proof, and sends anonymous public keys each equipped with one pseudonym certificate to verifiers. Through use of the pseudonym certificate, the verifier believes that the user's anonymous public key is certified by the trusted entity. The pseudonym certificate contains no information by which the verifier can figure out the real identity of the user. With the malleable pseudonym certificate system, the trusted entity needs only certify once for the user's root public key. The user can generate by him or herself mass anonymous public keys where each anonymous public key is equipped with a distinct pseudonym certificate.

Abstract: A vane pump according to the present invention is characterized in that a position of a first suction port located in the forward rotation direction of a rotor is brought closer to a suction port than a position of a second suction port located in the backward rotation direction of the rotor with the suction port as reference by positioning a side plate in the state where the discharge port is brought close to a mounting portion.

Abstract: The invention provides a virtual subscriber identifier system and method of a communication network. According to one embodiment of the invention, a subscriber generates virtual subscriber identifiers by him/her self, generates a subscriber identity mapping data by which a identifier service provider can figure out the real identifier of the owner of the virtual subscriber identifier, and informs peers of the virtual subscriber identifiers. The subscriber identify mapping data may be a data in which a virtual subscriber identifier is associated to the real identifier of the subscriber, and be registered by the subscriber with the identifier service provider. A peer generates a communicating request including a virtual subscriber identifier as target, and sends the request to the identifier service provider, the identifier service provider determines the real identifier of the subscriber from the subscriber identity mapping data, and forwards the communication between the peer and the subscriber's terminal.

Abstract: A fixed capacity pump (P) sucks working oil from a reservoir (R) through a conduit (Rp) and a suction passage (1), and discharges the pressurized working oil into a discharge passage (2) connected to an actuator (A). A choke (21) is disposed in the discharge passage (2), and a flow control valve (F) recirculates a part of the working oil in the discharge passage (2) upstream of the choke (21) to the suction passage (1) according to a pressure loss generated by the choke (21). The characteristic of the choke (21) which significantly increases the flow resistance in a low temperature state makes the flow rate of the recirculated working oil increase, thereby preventing cavitation/noise from occurring in the pump (P) when operated at high speed and in a low temperature state.
