  • Patent number: 11484852
    Abstract: Planetary gear mechanisms require internal toothed gears in housings. A drive rotor and driven rotors are accommodated in a mixing space in a housing, and chemical inflow paths to the mixing space are formed in an upper portion of the housing. A mixture outflow path is formed in a lower portion of the housing. The mixing space is formed to allow the drive rotor and the driven rotors to rotate and to regulate the positions of the drive rotor and the driven rotors. Meshing the drive rotor with the driven rotors allows the driven rotors to rotate opposite to the rotating direction of the drive rotor accompanying the rotation of the drive rotor while the lower ends of the driven rotors are located above a bottom portion of the mixing space and the upper ends of the driven rotors are located below the lower surface of the lid body.

  • Publication number: 20210121839
    Abstract: A paddle in a three-pronged fork-like shape with the middle part longer than the others cannot uniformly knead a highly viscous fluid. A paddle includes an arm portion disposed outside a container and a paddle portion integrally formed on the distal end of the arm portion and disposed inside the container. The paddle portion includes a horizontal part, vertical parts protruding upward from both end portions of the horizontal part, and a coupling shaft portion protruding upward from the middle of the horizontal part to the arm portion. Providing an inwardly protruding portion on the upper end of the second vertical part makes it possible to mix a mixing object in an area corresponding to a non-fluid area by using the inwardly protruding portion.

  • Patent number: 10003177
    Abstract: A curing material, having a solubility parameter of 9.4 or more, contains at least a chain transfer agent that contains a compound containing a polyether structure and two or more urethane bonds or two or more urea bonds in a molecule, and a metal-containing compound. A wire harness is manufactured by supplying the curing material to a conductor exposed portion of a wire bundle including a plurality of bundled insulated wires each having a conductor covered with a covering material made of an insulating body, the conductor exposed portion being formed by removing a part of the covering material of the wire bundle to expose the conductor inside; and curing the curing material by irradiating light in a state in which a surface of the curing material is covered with a protective member formed from a resin containing a plasticizer and having light transmissivity, thereby forming a waterproof portion.

  • Patent number: 6886380
    Abstract: A lock section is mechanically operated by a key provided with identification information to perform a locking or unlocking operation. A receiver acquires the identification information from the key.

  • Patent number: 6541937
    Abstract: When the amount L of actual load change that is picked up from an external plant control device exceeds a reference level L* of load change amount per prescribed unit time that is pre-set to serve as an impact drop detection level, the d axis field current Id is suppressed to a prescribed limiting amount. The d axis voltage reference Vd* and hence the motor and armature voltage Eac are thereby suppressed exclusively during a prescribed field limiting period Td. A large potential difference (voltage margin) is thereby generated between the converter output voltage Vac and AC motor armature voltage Eac, thereby speeding up the rise of output current of the motor. Subsequent recovery of the motor speed after impact drop is speeded up by returning the voltage level to the original d axis voltage reference Vd*.

  • Patent number: 6184648
    Abstract: According to this invention, there is provided a motor control apparatus comprising a field weakening device for converting a velocity feedback signal obtained from the rotational speed of a motor into a secondary magnetic flux reference signal by using a field pattern, a field pattern selector for comparing a predetermined signal with a q-axis torque current reference signal obtained on the basis of the secondary magnetic flux reference signal converted by the field weakening device, the velocity feedback signal, a velocity reference signal, and a torque reference signal, and outputting, on the basis of the comparison result, a control signal for switching the field pattern, and a field pattern storage section for switching, on the basis of the control signal output from said field pattern selector, the field pattern to be used in the field weakening device. Since the selector can switch the field pattern, an accurate torque output can be realized.

  • Patent number: 6080061
    Abstract: A video game machine has a mechanism extracting balls, a display unit having a display area which displays a matrix composed of boxes, and a CPU. The CPU implements a function enabling the player to appoint a ball type in terms of color and number to boxes of a second line of the matrix. A function is provided for automatically displaying, in the first and third lines of the matrix, ball marks correlated to the ball marks displayed in the second line, such that the color sequences of the ball marks in the first and third lines are the same as that in the second line and such that numerals greater and smaller by one than a numeral in a box of the second line appear in the third and the first lines in each column of the matrix. Further provided is a function for determining whether or not the numeral of the extracted ball coincides with the numeral of any ball mark on the display and a function for changing the mode of display of the box having the coincident numeral.
