  • Publication number: 20230331439
    Abstract: To prevent a reduction in a bending strength and a buckling strength of a container bag for fluid in which a spout is mounted on an upper end of a trunk section formed of a sheet material. Cells 9 are formed between two films of the sheet material 2 by bonding the films together along bonding lines 8, and inflated with fluid. The cells 9 positioned within a width of the spout in a width direction of the trunk section 5 extends downwardly from a site at which the spout 6 is clamped by the layers of the sheet material 2. A lower end of the spout 6 is situated lower than upper ends of the cells 9.

  • Patent number: 10158320
    Abstract: A shift range switchover control ECU controls a motor of an actuator provided to switch over a shift range of a vehicle and includes a temperature estimation part and a driving control part. The temperature estimation part estimates a temperature of the motor 11 based on a driving state of the motor. The driving control part controls driving of the motor and limits the driving of the motor when an estimated temperature exceeds a protection temperature. The temperature estimation part calculates, based on a final temperature indicating the estimated temperature of a system stop time, a restart-time temperature, which is the estimated temperature at time of turning on a starting switch of the vehicle again after turning off the starting switch, and a delay period, during which the temperature estimation part continues to calculate the estimated temperature after turning off of the starting switch. It is thus possible to properly estimate the temperature of the motor.

  • Patent number: 9812858
    Abstract: A surge protective system has a plinth for wiring and is connected between a plurality of line side wires and a ground wire. A plurality of surge protective devices (SPDs) and one surge detector are disposed in parallel and detachably fitted into and attached to the plinth. The plinth has a wiring metal fitting for connecting the plurality of SPDs and the one surge detector. When a lightning surge current enters into the surge protective system from the line side wires, the lightning surge current flows to the surge detector through the SPDs, a 1st plinth contact part in the wiring metal fitting, a connection part and a 2nd plinth contact part. The lightning surge current flowing to the surge detector is discharged to the ground through the ground wire.

  • Patent number: 6543548
    Abstract: A working vehicle 1 includes front wheels Wf steered by a steering wheel 8, and rear wheels Wr driven through a transmission system T incorporating static hydraulic pressure type continuously variable transmissions. A speed change operating device M for controlling speed change of the transmission system T accelerates or decelerates right and left rear wheels Wr at same rotating speed by operation of a change lever 10, and also generates a difference in rotating speed between the right and left rear wheels Wr by operation of the steering wheel 8. The steering characteristic on the basis of operation of the steering wheel 8 varies depending on the vehicle speed set by the change lever 10, so that an appropriate steering characteristic may be obtained if the vehicle speed is changed.
