Abstract: The purpose of the present invention is to allow a clean airflow around a substrate to reliably move downward of the substrate in an examination device in which clean air is supplied to an inspection chamber. This examination device is provided with a rectifying plate (see FIG. 4A) which covers a part of the upper surface of a stage for mounting a substrate, and is disposed between a gas supply unit and the stage to block an airflow toward the substrate.

Abstract: Disclosed is a three-phase AC induction motor control device for controlling a torque based on a two-axis orthogonal coordinate system in synchronization with a power supply angular frequency, the control device including: a non-interference controller configured to receive a motor rotation speed, a torque command value, and a power supply voltage as an input and compute a torque axis non-interference compensation voltage and a magnetic flux axis non-interference compensation voltage by referencing a map stored in advance; and a non-interference magnetic flux response filter configured to perform filtering, including a direct transfer term and a rotor magnetic flux response delay, for the torque axis non-interference compensation voltage.

Abstract: In an electromagnetic actuator, an electromagnetic drive section forms a flux path between a plunger and an inner yoke, each member being made of magnetic material, and which drives the plunger in an axial direction through electromagnetic force, an operation section has a dog movable between a connection position where it is connected with a mating part and a release position where it is apart from the mating part in the axial direction, and which restrains movement of the mating part in a circumferential direction when the dog is at the connection position, and a retaining ring is interposed between the plunger and the dog such that relative movement of the dog to the plunger in the circumferential direction is permitted and relative movement of the dog to the plunger in the axial direction is restricted.

Abstract: A hybrid drive unit includes a power distribution mechanism for distributing a power from an engine to a first electric motor and to an output shaft; a transmission, which is arranged between the output shaft and a second electric motor in a manner to transmit a torque therebetween, and which is capable of setting an overdrive ratio where a speed of the output shaft is higher than that of a predetermined input element; and an engagement mechanism for connecting the engine selectively with the input element of the transmission, and for setting a speed change ratio of the transmission to the overdrive ratio. The hybrid drive unit is capable of setting an overdrive mode and is easy to be downsized.

Abstract: A cylinder tube of a second hydraulic cylinder is provided separate from a first piston of a first hydraulic cylinder and integrally fixed to an input shaft. Friction members of a first clutch and friction members of a second clutch are prevented from moving in a first direction by a snap ring attached to a connecting drum. The friction members of the first clutch are friction engaged by the first piston and the friction members of the second clutch are friction engaged by a second piston.

Abstract: A generator apparatus can provide generated power fit for a connected battery, and even if a load voltage is not within a suitable range, when the load voltage is a certain level or more, the generator can provide power. A selector 25 selects a target voltage for controlling the output voltage of a rectifier 2. An output controller 34 controls the rectifier 2 according to the target. A load judgment section 35 judges the terminal voltage of a battery 19. When the terminal voltage is within an allowable range with respect to the target value, permission for output is given to the output controller 34. When the load voltage is not within the allowable range, an alarm is raised. Even when the alarm is raised, if a load voltage develops which is not less than a predetermined voltage lower than the allowable range, the battery 19 can be charged by forced-output.

Abstract: An underwater scooter including a main frame on which are disposed two air tanks serving as a saddle area for the operator, a depth adjusting mechanism disposed to the fore of the air tanks, and a steering mechanism disposed to the aft of the air tanks. The depth adjusting mechanism can be swiveled freely around a vertical axis using a swivel mechanism, and moreover the angular displacement in this swiveling is transmitted by a swivel angle displacement transmission mechanism to the steering mechanism so that a rudder swivels around a vertical axis, and thus while the underwater scooter is traveling, the operator can ride upon the main frame and also adjust the depth of travel and direction of forward motion of the underwater scooter by manipulating the depth adjusting mechanism and steering mechanisms. Thus, the burden on the operator is reduced in comparison to that of the conventional types of scooters that tow the operator.
