  • Patent number: 9317084
    Abstract: In a thermal displacement compensating device and a thermal displacement compensating method for a machine tool, a block temperature obtaining section obtains temperatures of respective blocks based on temperature information detected by temperature sensors wherein temperatures in each of the respective blocks into which a column is divided to be pluralized are defined as a uniform value. An FEM analysis section performs a structural analysis by a finite element method based on the temperatures of the respective blocks obtained by the block temperature obtaining section and infers thermal displacement amounts of the column. A compensation value calculation section calculates a compensation value for a machining command position based on the thermal displacement amounts of the column inferred by the FEM analysis section. A compensation section compensates the machining command position by the compensation value obtained by the compensation value calculation section.

  • Patent number: 9309858
    Abstract: In an internal combustion engine control device, a predetermined margin torque is set such that it is possible to maintain a predetermined engine idling speed by adjusting ignition timing with respect to load fluctuations during idling operation. The margin torque is set to decrease, as a load, acting on the internal combustion engine during idling operation, increases. Accordingly, the margin torque can be set to an appropriate value, and thus it is possible to improve a fuel economy performance during idling operation of the internal combustion engine.

  • Patent number: 9200610
    Abstract: There is provided a valve timing varying mechanism (VTC) to vary a valve timing. An estimated VTC conversion angle VTCNFS is calculated in accordance with a sensed VTC conversion angle VTCNOW (S15˜S19). At the time of conversion of the VTC conversion angle to the advance side or retard side, a fastest response value is calculated by conversion of the VTC conversion angle from the previous sensed value with a fastest response speed, and the sensed value (estimated value) is limited to or below the fastest response value when the current value of the sensed valve timing exceeds the fastest response value (S20, S21).
