  • Patent number: 9970544
    Abstract: An engine control device to be mounted on a vehicle is provided. The control device includes a transmission state determining module for determining a connection between a stepped transmission and an engine, determining that a gear shift has started if the connection is disengaged from a connected state, and determining that the gear shift has finished if the connection is resumed, a gear position estimating module for estimating a gear position when the gear shift is determined to have started, a target engine speed specifying module for specifying a target engine speed based on the estimated gear position, and a speed control module for controlling an engine speed to the target engine speed when the gear shift is determined to have started.

  • Publication number: 20090314199
    Abstract: The present invention provides a vacuum chamber capable of simplifying the structure of the arrangement of a cooling passage. The vacuum chamber of the present invention includes a plurality of wall members, the plurality of the wall members are connected to each other to construct a chamber main body by connection portions where connection surfaces each of which is part of a surface of each wall member are hermetically connected to each other, and at least part of the connection portions are built-in gap type connection portions each of which has a gap extending along the corresponding connection surfaces inside the connection surfaces and in which peripheries of the connection surfaces are hermetically connected to each other by welding.

  • Publication number: 20020129770
    Abstract: A vacuum deposition system comprising a vacuum chamber used for keeping a vacuum atmosphere within an inner space thereof for film deposition and an auxiliary device used in the vacuum chamber for assisting film deposition, wherein the auxiliary device is mounted so as to extend in the outside and inside of the vacuum chamber through an opening defined in the vacuum chamber such that the auxiliary device is secured to a stationary structural member disposed outside the vacuum chamber while being attached to the vacuum chamber by a connection member having elasticity and formed from a material capable of maintaining the vacuum atmosphere within the vacuum chamber.

  • Patent number: 6237414
    Abstract: An elastic surface wave gyroscope includes two transducers attached on a piezoelectric substrate to generate elastic surface waves having different frequencies on the piezoelectric substrate, and two pair of reflectors for reflecting the different elastic surface waves toward the generators to produce two different standing waves, and another pair of reflectors for reflecting an elastic surface wave caused by a Coriolis force to produce a third standing wave, and a detector for detecting an electric signal corresponding to the third standing wave. This gyroscope has a high detection sensitivity.
