20120073914 | BRAKE SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR PRODUCING FRICTION MATERIAL - A brake system includes a pad having a frictional surface, and a disc having a frictional surface sliding on the frictional surface. The frictional surface includes hard particles supported elastically and a plurality of protrusions arranged along a direction in which the frictional surface slides on the frictional surface, and when the frictional surface slides on the frictional surface, particles abut respective protrusions continuously while being displaced in the direction perpendicular to the frictional surface. Thus, wear resistance can be improved Since only the vicinities of the peaks of the hard particles and the vicinities of the peaks of the protrusions abut, the hard particles do not follow irregularities of the frictional surface, and thereby the hard particles and the protrusions repeat point contact. Thus, since the distance between the hard particles and the protrusions is stabilized and the adhesion frictional force is stabilized, a stable frictional force can be obtained. | 03-29-2012 |
20120194142 | POWER GENERATING DEVICE AND BRAKING DEVICE - Power generation efficiency is improved with a simple configuration. A braking device is provided with a brake rotor which rotates on a central axis, and friction portions which are in frictional contact with the brake rotor. A coil is wound around the outer peripheral portion of the brake rotor. A friction portion has the north pole of a magnet, and a friction portion has the south pole of a magnet. The braking device generates electricity by using an electromagnetic induction phenomenon and an electrostatic phenomenon that are caused by the interaction between the outer peripheral portion and the friction portion, for example, at the time of braking. As a result, the configuration can be simplified and the amount of power generation is not likely to be limited by a motor capability because there is very little need to use the motor as a generator. Furthermore, the friction energy itself converted from the kinetic energy of the brake rotor can be converted into electrical energy to suppress the friction energy from being lost as heat energy. | 08-02-2012 |

The present invention provides a stamper for producing a microneedle sheet. The stamper comprises a sheet-like base material including a conical concavity formed from a first surface of the sheet-like base material toward a second surface thereof; and a through-hole formed from a bottom of the concavity toward the second surface.

The orbiting scroll includes a second end plate in sliding contact with an end of the first wrap and an end of the outer peripheral wall, a second oil groove, and a second wrap. The first oil groove is disposed on a surface of the outer peripheral wall, extends along an inner periphery of the outer peripheral wall, and is configured to receive lubricating oil at a high pressure corresponding to a discharge pressure of the compression mechanism. The second oil groove is disposed on a surface of the second end plate, and is communicatable with the first oil groove. | 01-09-2014 |

20130189144 | SCROLL COMPRESSOR - A scroll compressor includes a high-pressure space capable of communicating with a discharge port and a back pressure space capable of communicating with an intermediate port. A fluid passage includes a seal ring that closes the fluid passage when the pressure of the back pressure space is lower than that of the high-pressure space, and opens the fluid passage when the pressure of the back pressure space is higher than that of the high-pressure space. | 07-25-2013 |

20130133410 | TEST SYSTEM AND TEST METHOD OF FLUID PUMP - A test system of a fluid pump which has a pump includes a test fixture which supports the fluid pump, a fluid flow path, and a connecting pipe arranged at the test fixture and having one end side connected to a discharge port of the pump and the other end side connected to the fluid flow path. The connecting pipe has a main pipe member, a movable pipe member arranged slidably inside the main pipe member and having an end which is positioned sticking out from the main pipe member, and a seal clamp provided at an end of the movable pipe member. When the movable pipe member receives fluid pressure inside of the main pipe member, the seal clamp which is pushed against the discharge port of the pump holds the discharge port of the pump liquid-tightly. | 05-30-2013 |
