Yoshihiko SAGAWA 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: 11448217
    Abstract: A technique is provided that can further reduce power at the time of “unload operation control” in a gas compressor that generates a compressed gas at a set pressure by constant-speed control. The gas compressor includes a compressor main unit, a drive source, an intake throttle valve, a gas release valve, rotation speed converting means, a pressure detecting device that detects a discharge pressure, and a controller that, the relationship between an upper-limit pressure H and a lower-limit pressure L being H>L, carries out opening the intake throttle valve and closing the gas release valve and operating the drive source at a full-load rotation speed until the discharge pressure reaches the upper-limit pressure H. The controller carries out at least one of closing the intake throttle valve and opening the gas release valve to reduce the discharge pressure to within a predetermined range when the discharge pressure reaches the upper-limit pressure H.

  • Publication number: 20200201979
    Abstract: An object is to proceed with a contract-concluding process for an operational data transaction simply, conveniently and clearly. A fluid machine including: a driving source; a fluid machine body that generates a fluid by a driving force of the driving source; a controller that has a GUI allowing an external input and output, and controls driving of the driving source; and a communication apparatus that allows communication with an external server via a wired or wireless communication line.
