  • Patent number: 10871115
    Abstract: When atmospheric pressure (Pa) which varies according to altitude is higher than a predetermined pressure threshold (Path) during idle operation in which catalyst warm-up request is issued, an intake pressure is controlled, through a throttle valve (19), to an intake pressure at which an intake air amount required to promote the warm-up of a catalyst converter (26) is obtained. When the atmospheric pressure (Pa) is lower than the predetermined pressure threshold (Path), the intake pressure is controlled, through a throttle valve (19), to an intake pressure (Pa?Pb) at which a differential pressure (Pb) required by a brake booster (8) is obtained. Accordingly, negative pressure in the brake booster (8) can be secured while promoting the warm-up of the catalyst during the idle operation.

  • Patent number: 10745100
    Abstract: Counterbalance assemblies include a torsion bar spring for counter-balancing the weight of upwardly opening aircraft doors for ease of opening and closing. The torsion bar spring may be linked to the aircraft door through an integrated gear reduction system comprised of two pairs of spur gears and respective shafts as well as a linkage assembly. A cable reel is connected to the output shaft and the input shaft is connected to a four bar linkage system attached to the end of the torsion bar. The cable reel stores the lift cable and provides the output torque to lift the aircraft door. When the aircraft door opens or closes, the center of mass loses or gains height respectively, causing a variation of gravitational potential energy. In such a manner, the gravitational potential energy is exchanged with strain elastic energy from the counter-balance spring therefore reducing the required external source of energy whether it is from a power assisted means or manual operation.

  • Patent number: 7458415
    Abstract: The rotation of axial-flow blades permits air entered through an inlet port to exit directly to outside of a case in the axial direction, and the rotation of centrifugal blades permits air entered through the inlet port to exit through a side surface outlet port to the outside of the case in the centrifugal direction. Accordingly, the amount of flow of air exiting from inside of the case can be increased so that the amount of heat dissipation is increased. It is therefore able to provide a cooling apparatus and electronic equipment mounting the cooling apparatus with improved cooling efficiency while achieving a small thickness.

  • Patent number: 7381027
    Abstract: A fan motor having a small thickness and its impeller's blades formed to have a longer length in the diametrical direction than a width in the axial direction. Since the blade of the fan motor has a tooth structure or chamfers at its edge end in the diametrical direction, turbulence is forcibly evoked in an airflow to promote the turbulent diffusion, thereby suppressing the trailing vortex and reducing the aerodynamic noises, and thus the ventilation efficiency is improved.

  • Patent number: 7377306
    Abstract: Each of fins is provided with an engage projection having a first width and a engage hole portion having a second width wider than the first width, and the fins are able to be slid while engaging with each other. Accordingly, in case of installing a heat sink to a case of a fan, it is possible to install the fins to the case so that the fins are arranged in a flowing direction of a refrigerant by the fan while engaging with each other. As the result, the refrigerant is able to flow smoothly when passing through the fins by arranging the fins at desired angle. Accordingly, it becomes possible to present a radiation fin, a cooling device and an electronic equipment having such cooling device.

  • Patent number: 6748739
    Abstract: A hydraulic power system includes a reversible pump, a variable-speed servomotor for driving the pump, a pressure sensor for detecting load pressure, a detector for detecting the motor speed, signal command units for generating preprogrammed pressure and flow rate commands, a rotational speed controller and a signal processor. The signal processor preferentially outputs a speed command corresponding to the flow rate command by a limiter operation when the difference signal between the pressure command and the pressure detection signal is higher than a predetermined level, whereas it preferentially outputs a speed command corresponding to the difference signal when the difference signal is equal to or lower than said level. The rotational speed controller controls the magnitude of a driving current supplied to the servomotor by a closed loop on the basis of the speed command and the detected signal so that the speed of the servomotor corresponds to the speed command.
