Patents by Inventor Yoshiharu Takemoto

Yoshiharu Takemoto has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 9903789
    Abstract: A pressure sensor includes a diaphragm, a coupling portion coupled to the diaphragm, and two pressure receiving elements. Each pressure receiving element outputs an output signal that changes according to the temperature and the pressure applied to a pressure receiving surface and has an output characteristic that represents the relationship of the output signal to the pressure and the temperature. The two pressure receiving elements have the same output characteristics. The pressure receiving surface of one of the two pressure receiving elements is connected to the diaphragm through the coupling portion, and the pressure receiving surface of the other pressure receiving element is disconnected from the diaphragm. The pressure sensor outputs a signal that is in accordance with the difference between voltages of the two pressure receiving elements.

  • Patent number: 6581573
    Abstract: An electromagnetic control valve has a passage for conducting fluid. An electromagnetic actuator generates an electromagnetic force. A main valve body opens and closes the passage in accordance with the electromagnetic force generated by the electromagnetic actuator. A bypass is formed in the main valve body. A sub valve body opens and closes the bypass in accordance with the electromagnetic force generated by the electromagnetic actuator. The electromagnetic force generated by the electromagnetic actuator is adjusted such that the sub valve body is opened and closed while the main valve body closes the passage.
