20140371012 | HYDRAULIC CONTROL DEVICE AND VEHICLE CONTROL DEVICE - A hydraulic control device includes an electric pump configured to supply oil to a belt-type continuously variable transmission mechanism of a power transmission device through a hydraulic path based on driving of a motor, and an accumulator configured to accumulate oil inside by using the oil supplied by the electric pump and supplies the oil to a control system by discharging the accumulated oil through the hydraulic path. According to such a configuration, an increase in the sizes of the electric pump and the accumulator used for hydraulic control at the time of executing an idling stop function can be suppressed. | 12-18-2014 |
20150075474 | VEHICLE CONTROL DEVICE - A vehicle control device includes an engine, a starter for starting the engine, a transmission for transmitting power of the engine to a driving wheel, an oil pump for supplying hydraulic pressure to the transmission according to the power of the engine, an accumulator for accumulating the hydraulic pressure ejected from the oil pump, and an electromagnetic on-off valve for controlling the hydraulic pressure accumulated in the accumulator. When the engine is restarted after the engine has stopped, an ECU of the vehicle control device opens the electromagnetic on-off valve at the time a line pressure has become equal to or higher than a predetermined hydraulic pressure after the start of the starter, and supplies the hydraulic pressure accumulated in the accumulator to respective portions of the transmission. | 03-19-2015 |

20130057604 | IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS INCLUDING RECORDING HEAD FOR EJECTING LIQUID DROPLETS - An image forming apparatus includes a body, a recording head, a sub tank, a carriage, a main tank, a liquid feed unit, a displacement member, first and second detectors, first to third calculation units, a determination unit, and a supply control unit. When the first detector detects the displacement member, the determination unit determines a main scanning position of the carriage at which consumption amount of the liquid is equal to an amount corresponding to a difference calculated by the second unit, based on a relation calculated by the third unit. The control unit causes the feed unit to start supply of the liquid from the main tank to the sub tank when the carriage arrives at the main scanning position, and stop the supply when the liquid is supplied at an amount corresponding to a difference detected by the first unit after the first detector detects the displacement member. | 03-07-2013 |
20130176367 | LIQUID CARTRIDGE AND IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS - Disclosed is a liquid cartridge containing a liquid supplied to a recording head to eject liquid drops. The liquid cartridge includes a case member, and a liquid container member disposed inside the case member. The case member includes a base member, and a cover member having a snap-fit part and configured to be fit in the base member, the cover member and the base member being snap-fit connected via the snap-fit part. The base member includes a hole part via which a snap-fit connected state of the snap-fit part of the cover member is viewable from outside in a condition where the cover member and the base member are snap-fit connected by sliding the cover member and the base member. | 07-11-2013 |
20140056625 | FIXING DEVICE AND IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS AND METHOD WITH SAME - A fixing unit includes an endless belt accommodating a heat source inside a loop formed by the endless belt, a rotary pressing member rotating in contact with the endless belt in a pressure contact section, and a heat transfer member secured to a side plate within the loop of the endless belt to support and heat the endless belt with heat conducted from the heat source. The heat transfer member has an opening opposite the rotary pressing member. A securing member is disposed in the opening of the heat transfer member in pressure contact with the rotary pressing member via the endless belt. The heat transfer member and the securing member collectively include a pair of latching parts to firmly connect the heat transfer member and the securing member with each other when one of the latching parts is fitted to the other one of the latching parts. | 02-27-2014 |
