  • Publication number: 20230068377
    Abstract: A gas sensor element includes: a first ceramic structure (100A) having a detection cell (120); a second ceramic structure (100B) having a pump cell (110) disposed apart from the first ceramic structure in a lamination direction; and a third ceramic structure (100C) having a frame-shaped body (200) surrounding a space (150a) formed between the first and second ceramic structures, the frame-shaped body including a gas introduction portion (151) and a peripheral wall portion (141). A gap (150b) connected to the space (150a) is formed between an opposed surface (151b1) and the second ceramic structure. A ceramic buffer layer (300) having a lower shrinkage start temperature than a material for forming the gas introduction portion is formed on the opposed surface so as to overlap a boundary portion X between an edge (150b1) on the external side of the gap and the second ceramic structure when viewed in the lamination direction.

  • Patent number: 11536366
    Abstract: A shift mechanism switches power transmission paths among a first transmission shaft, a second transmission shaft, and a third transmission shaft that are concentrically arranged on a rotational axis. The shift mechanism has a drive drum that is provided so as to be coaxial with the rotational axis and pivotable about the rotational axis, and a first driven drum and a second driven drum that are arranged on the rotational axis so as to be concentric with the drive drum and move along the rotational axis as the drive drum pivots. As the first driven drum moves, a first shift sleeve advances and retreats, and the first transmission shaft and the second transmission shaft are connected and disconnected. In addition, as the second driven drum moves, a second shift sleeve advances and retreats, and the second transmission shaft and the third transmission shaft are connected and disconnected.

  • Patent number: 11460005
    Abstract: A condition monitoring system includes a vibration sensor for measuring a vibration waveform of a bearing in a wind turbine generation apparatus and a data processor for diagnosing abnormality of the bearing. In the data processor, an evaluation value computing unit time-sequentially computes an evaluation value that characterizes an effective value of vibration waveform data output from the vibration sensor within a certain time. A diagnosis unit diagnoses abnormality of the bearing based on transition of temporal change of the evaluation value. The evaluation value computing unit computes the minimum value of the effective values of vibration waveform data within a certain time, as the evaluation value.

  • Patent number: 11441940
    Abstract: A data processing device includes a peak detector that detects a peak from a frequency spectrum and a map generator that generates an abnormality map for the frequency spectrum. The abnormality map includes as abnormal components, a frequency of a detected peak of interest and a frequency of a peak that appears together with the peak of interest when the peak of interest is assumed as the peak originating from abnormality. The data processing device includes an abnormal peak extractor that extracts as an abnormal peak, a peak at a frequency that matches with any of the abnormal components included in the abnormality map and a first criterion value calculator that calculates a first criterion value representing occurrence of abnormality corresponding to the abnormality map based on a spectral density of the abnormal peak.

  • Patent number: 11377358
    Abstract: A novel method for producing a porous carbon material which makes it possible to easily produce a porous carbon material having a desired shape. The method includes immersing a carbon-containing material having a desired shape and composed of a compound, alloy or non-equilibrium alloy containing carbon in a metal bath, the metal bath having a solidification point that is lower than a melting point of the carbon-containing material, the metal bath being controlled to a lower temperature than a minimum value of a liquidus temperature within a compositional fluctuation range extending from the carbon-containing material to carbon by decreasing the other non-carbon main components, to thereby selectively elute the other non-carbon main components into the metal bath while maintaining an external shape of the carbon-containing material to give a porous carbon material having microvoids.

  • Patent number: 11312360
    Abstract: If the destination has not been input, it is judged whether the present location is on the expressway (step S32). If the judgement result of the step S32 is positive, it is judged whether or not the actual SOC is less than or equal to the threshold TH2 (step S34). If the judgement result of the step S34 is positive, the restoring control is executed (step S36). Subsequent to the step S34 or S36, it is judged whether or not the vehicle is still on the expressway (step S38). If the judgement result of the step S38 is positive, it is judged whether or not the actual SOC is greater than or equal to the SOC_T2 (step S42). If the judgement result of the step S42 is positive, the maintaining control is executed (step S44).
