Patent number: 8777593Abstract: An electric compressor is installed in a vehicle and includes a shell. The electric compressor includes an inverter, a cover, and a conductive component. The cover covers the shell and the inverter. The conductive component is electrically connected to the inverter and arranged outside the cover. The cover includes an outer guide surface inclined relative to a forward direction of the vehicle. The outer guide surface has a normal including a forward component directed in the forward direction. The outer guide surface is arranged closer to an outer side of the vehicle than the conductive component.Type: GrantFiled: March 25, 2011Date of Patent: July 15, 2014Assignees: Kabushiki Kaisha Toyota Jidoshokki, Toyota Jidosha Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Yusuke Kinoshita, Yumin Hishinuma, Kazuhiro Kuroki, Tetsuhiko Fukanuma, Tomoyuki Miyoshi, Yasushi Kato, Yuji Nakane

Patent number: 8526029Abstract: An image forming apparatus includes a receiving unit, a paper information storing unit, an initializing unit, a paper information comparing unit, a temporary stopping unit, and a printing unit. The receiving unit receives print jobs. The paper information storing unit stores paper information preset in the printed page. The initializing unit initializes the paper information stored in the paper information storing unit during a certain period. The paper information comparing unit compares the paper information of the page to be printed in the print job with the stored paper information. The temporary stopping unit temporarily stops printing according to the result of the comparison. The printing unit prints the print data of the page to be printed in the case that the paper information of the page to be printed is the same as the stored paper information or the stored paper information has been initialized.Type: GrantFiled: February 1, 2011Date of Patent: September 3, 2013Assignee: Fuji Xerox Co., Ltd.Inventors: Kiyoshi Yasukawa, Yuji Onozawa, Yuji Nakane, Kazutoshi Kondo, Akira Shinada, Takashi Katou

Patent number: 6315350Abstract: In a structure for absorbing energy in an upper portion of a motor vehicle body, an energy absorbing body is disposed between a roof side rail and a roof lining. The energy absorbing body is a resin-made rib member having three longitudinal ribs and transverse ribs that are more in number than the longitudinal ribs. The three longitudinal ribs are formed so as to compensate for a reduced amount of displacement that is allowed for a longitudinal rib for a purpose of energy absorption in a section of the energy absorbing body taken on an imaginary plane extending along at least one of the transverse ribs, by varying at least one of a pitch between two longitudinal ribs provided adjacent to each other in the section, an angle formed by each longitudinal rib with respect to an imaginary horizontal plane in the section, and a thickness of each longitudinal rib.Type: GrantFiled: January 13, 2000Date of Patent: November 13, 2001Assignee: Toyota Jidosha Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Yuji Nakane, Toshikatsu Satou
