Publication number: 20180236702Abstract: An injection molding method for a molded item uses a polyether ether ketone (PEEK) material, wherein a filling peak pressure is 40 MPa to 150 MPa. The PEEK material may be injected to form the molded item from a runner member through a multipoint gate and then optionally a subrunner. The runner member and the subrunner may be connected to each other by a film gate. A stretching processing may be applied after the PEEK material is injected to increase a length 1.2 to 5 fold and increase a diameter to 0.2 mm to 1.0 mm. The stretching processing may use an in-mold stretching method.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 26, 2015Publication date: August 23, 2018Applicant: TOSKABANO'K CO., LTD.Inventor: Tomoyuki HIRAI

Patent number: 9866022Abstract: When an AC line of one local system and a power system are in a parallel-off state, a control device included in a power supply system causes local inverter devices of the local systems to operate in a parallel-off operation mode in which control is performed such that the voltage and frequency of power on the AC line is at a target voltage and a target frequency determined according to the state of charge of a power storage device. When a condition for switching to the connected state has been satisfied, the control device stops operation of the local inverter device in the parallel-off operation mode and causes a switch to the connected state by operating the interrupting device, and thereafter causes the local inverter device to operate in a charging operation mode used in charging the power storage device with supplementary power received from the power system.Type: GrantFiled: May 24, 2012Date of Patent: January 9, 2018Assignees: Osaka Gas Co., Ltd., Wind Engineering Center Co., Ltd.Inventors: Kunihiro Nakao, Koji Yakire, Tomoyuki Hirai, Satoshi Nagata
