  • Patent number: 8521459
    Abstract: In an instantaneous voltage drop compensating device, when an instantaneous drop occurs, an electric power transformer (8) performs an inverter action so that the electric power of a side-by-side placed capacitor (7) is DC/AC-converted and fed to a load (3). At this time, a capacitor's remaining lifetime diagnosing unit (100) introduces the DC voltage value, the DC current value, and the temperature value of the side-by-side placed capacitor (7) thereinto, and uses a prestored program for computing a remaining lifetime, thereby diagnosing the remaining lifetime, for which the side-by-side placed capacitor (7) can be used under the state where a capacitor discharge time period exceeds a rated compensation time period.

  • Patent number: 6332739
    Abstract: A powder supply system including a powder replenishment device as a powder source, a suction device and a plurality of powder supply units connected in series. Each of the powder supply units sprinkles powders toward an object mounted on each processing device. An upstream end powder supply unit is fluidly connected to the powder replenishment device, and a downstream end powder supply unit is fluidly connected to the suction device. A suction force generated by the suction device sucks powders from the powder replenishment device through the powder supply units, and powders are successively accumulated in the powder supply units in the order from the upstream end powder supply unit to the downstream end powder supply unit. A powder sensor is provided between the rearmost powder supply unit and the suction device. If all powder supply units are filled with powders, residual powders are discharged out of the downstream end powder supply unit.

  • Patent number: 5163880
    Abstract: A revolution speed controller for a continuously variable speed transmission has an air cylinder unit for operating a speed-control section of the transmission, and a command pressure chamber partly defined by a diaphragm operable in response to a command air pressure. The diaphragm and the air cylinder unit are connected by a resilient member. A valve member is movable in response to operation of the diaphragm to connect or disconnect a working air pressure source to or from the interior of the air cylinder unit and to disconnect or connect the interior of the air cylinder unit from or to the atmosphere. When the pressure in the command pressure chamber is balanced with a force exerted to the diaphragm by the resilient member, the valve member cuts off the supply of the working air pressure to the air cylinder unit and also interrupts the communication between the air cylinder unit and the atmosphere.

  • Patent number: 4588389
    Abstract: A pulley device has a shaft provided at its one end with a disk extending radially outwardly therefrom, a tubular member provided at its one end with a disk extending radially outwardly therefrom and concentrically enclosing the shaft to cooperate with the disk of the shaft to define therebetween a V-shaped annular groove for a driving belt, and a roll pin extending in the shaft in the diametrical direction of the shaft so as to engage with both of the shaft and the tubular member. In order to facilitate the relative sliding movement between the shaft and the tubular member, oilless bearings are provided to both ends of the tubular member. Furthermore, an oilless bushing is disposed between the roll pin and the tubular member or the shaft to facilitate the rolling of the roll pin.
