Abstract:
An improved wireless remote controller for controlling each of several devices under control in each mode of operation without requiring any switching among devices under control and thus having no device switching key mounted thereon. The wireless remote controller has a plurality of operation selection keys and is designed to operate in such manner that when the controller is directed toward one of the devices under control and any one of the operation mode selection keys is depressed, a corresponding operation mode signal is generated and transmitted to a device under control. The operation mode signal includes a series of consecutive signal components for operating all the devices under control. The device under control responds only to the associated one of the signal components of the operation mode signal.
Abstract:
This invention is intended to provide a large-capacity servo press apparatus driven by multiple motors, the servo press apparatus enabling a drive at a high efficiency and with reduced torque pulsations in a simple structure. The disclosed servo press comprises a slide that is moved up and down by a plurality of crank structures (including eccentric rings and connecting rods), main gears that drive the crank structures, a plurality of drive gears interlinked with the main gears directly or indirectly, intermediate gears interlinked with the main gears directly or indirectly, and servo motor sets connected to drive shafts to drive the drive gears. In each of the servo motor sets, a plurality of servo motors are directly connected to each servo motor shaft.
Abstract:
An attachment structure of an energy absorbing structure includes: a bumper reinforcement that includes an attachment surface, with insertion holes being formed in the attachment surface; an energy absorbing structure disposed in contact with the attachment surface; locking claws that are disposed on the energy absorbing structure and engage with the bumper reinforcement to lock the energy absorbing structure to the bumper reinforcement; and load receiving projections that are disposed on the energy absorbing structure and are inserted into the insertion holes, so that when a load in a direction along the attachment surface acts on the energy absorbing structure, the load receiving projections interfere with inner peripheral portions of the insertion holes and receive the load.
Abstract:
A sequence-pair creating apparatus includes a block placement storing unit that stores information of size of a block bi in a block set B and information of block placement, creates a sequence-pair (P, M), serving as a pair of a sequence P and a sequence M of the block bi, and further includes a binary relation setting unit that sets, in accordance with the information of block placement and information of size, a binary relation serving as an order relation that indicates a relative configuration between the blocks of a block pair of two blocks and that is derived from a configuration constraint between the blocks extracted from the information of block placement and information of size or designated by an external input, and a total order relation setting unit that sets a series of ranks of the sequences P and M for all the blocks on the basis of the information of block placement and information of size so as to satisfy all binary relations set by the binary relation setting unit.
Abstract:
The automobile rear structure includes a diffuser which is arranged on a vehicle-body rear side of a muffler and is configured to interfere with exhaust gas discharged from the muffler so as to make a portion of the exhaust gas flow downwardly, and a flow rectification plate which is arranged below the muffler and guides the downwardly flowing exhaust gas in the direction along an air flow flowing below the floor of the vehicle body to merge the exhaust gas into the air flow. The exhaust gas discharged downwardly from a space defined between a front end portion of the diffuser and a body portion of the muffler is guided in the direction inclined downwardly toward the rear side of the vehicle body and, thereafter, is guided in the direction along the air flow flowing below the floor of the vehicle body, and is merged into the air flow.
Abstract:
A cellular phone and a manufacturing method thereof capable of achieving attractive design as well as high operating efficiency in the assembly process. A cellular phone comprises a first housing, a second housing, a first circuit board, a second circuit board, a flexible cable to electrically connect the first and second circuit boards, and a hinge that rotates about a prescribed rotation axis. When the first and second housings are in their open positions resulting from the rotation of the hinge, one edge of the second housing is located vertically above one edge of the first housing. The hinge includes hinge semi-cylindrical portions that form a hollow part capable of accommodating the flexible cable. The first and second circuit boards are mounted on the first and second housings, respectively. The flexible cable is accommodated in the hollow part. One end of the flexible cable is threaded through an aperture formed at the one edge of the second housing. A protection cover is attached to the one edge of the second housing to cover over the aperture.
Abstract:
A connector inspecting apparatus includes (i) a connector receiving portion for holding a connector which is to be inspected and which has a terminal and (ii) an inspecting portion which has a detecting piece corresponding to the terminal, and which is arranged for inspecting the connector by moving the connector receiving portion and the inspecting portion toward/away from each other. At least one of the connector receiving portion and the inspecting portion is rotatably attached to a base. The other of the receiving portion and the inspecting portion is so guided as to be moved toward/away from the first. When either of the receiving or inspecting portions is rotated, such a rotational movement is converted into a sliding movement of the other portion. Accordingly, by rotating one of the portions, the connector can be inspected. This not only reduces the space required for installing the connector inspecting apparatus, but also facilitates the inspecting operation.
Abstract:
A crankshaft support structure for a multicylinder internal combustion engine employing a plurality of bearihng caps with pairs of vertical and horizontal surfaces fitting mating surfaces in the cylinder block for structurally mating the bearing caps to the cylinder block. A structural bridge extends across the bearing caps and is connected through the bearing caps to the block by one set of bolts and directly to the block by a second set of bolts. A second embodiment employs a third set of bolts connecting the bearing caps separately to the block. Arcuate baffle plates form the portion of the bridge between bearing caps to inhibit oil agitation and suppress noise.
Abstract:
A quadrupole mass spectrometer generates a stream of ionized particles which are modulated by an AC voltage and transmitted through a quadrupole analyzer to a detection unit. The detection unit detects at a collector electrode thereof a modulated ion current which is fed to a phase detector. The phase detector synchronizes the modulated ion current with a signal of known frequency to produce a DC voltage representative of the level of the modulated ion current. By modulating the ionized particles with the AC voltage, the S/N ratio is improved and adverse effects of external noise are diminished.
