  • Publication number: 20090247433
    Abstract: Disclosed are a lubricant whose oxidation degradation is inhibited, and a dynamic pressure bearing device which has a long lifespan by prolonging the period of time of depression of a lubricating function of the lubricant occurring as a result of oxidation degradation. Ester-based lubricating oil serving as the lubricant is brought into continuous or intermittent contact with an ionic compound or an ionic compound solution obtained by dissolving the ionic compound in a solvent. In the dynamic pressure bearing device, the ionic compound is provided in a portion of a bearing or a shaft member and is thus brought into contact with the lubricating oil, in which the ionic compound or ionic compound solution is substantially insoluble in the ester-based lubricating oil.

  • Publication number: 20090193273
    Abstract: An electronic control unit has a primary microcomputer producing a supply control signal or a cutoff control signal, a secondary microcomputer, and a power supply unit receiving the signal from the primary microcomputer through a signal line. Each signal has a level changing with time. The supply unit detects a level change of the signal line as a line transmission signal and performs pattern judgment for the level pattern of the line transmission signal. When the level pattern of the line transmission signal matches with a registered pattern of one control signal, the supply unit starts supplying or cuts off electric power to the secondary microcomputer. In response to the level pattern of the line transmission signal different from a registered pattern of any control signal, the supply unit invalidates the level change of the signal line to continue the power supply or cutoff.
