20090029068 | CARBON THIN FILM MANUFACTURING METHOD AND CARBON THIN FILM COATED BODY - A carbon thin film manufacturing method includes depositing an intermediate layer on a surface of a substrate, and forming a diamond-like carbon coating on a surface of the intermediate layer. In the carbon thin film manufacturing method, a bias voltage within a range of 0 V to −30 V is applied to the substrate during the deposition of the intermediate layer. | 01-29-2009 |
20130153801 | ELECTROMAGNETIC LINEAR VALVE - An electromagnetic linear valve includes a housing including a core closing an opening at one end portion of the body portion, and a separation portion separating an interior into a first liquid chamber located in a core side and a second liquid chamber; a plunger disposed in the first liquid chamber so as to move along the axis in a state in which one end thereof faces to the core and the other end can sit on a hole; an elastic member applying a force to move the plunger away from the core; and a coil generating magnetic field to move the plunger toward the core. A recess is formed in a section of an inner circumferential portion of the body portion which intersects with an end face of the core in the first direction. | 06-20-2013 |
20140291564 | ELECTROMAGNETIC LINEAR VALVE - In an electromagnetic linear valve, a resilient member urges a plunger in a direction in which the core-opposing portions move away from a core portion, and moves the plunger in a direction in which the core-opposing portions approach the core portion where an electric current is supplied to a coil. Where no electric current is supplied to the coil, an axially opposing surface area as a surface area of portions of the core-opposing portions which respectively oppose inner peripheral surfaces of recessed portions is smaller than a radially opposing surface area as a surface area of portions of the core-opposing portions which respectively oppose bottom surfaces of the recessed portions, and the axially opposing surface area becomes larger than the radially opposing surface area where an electric current is supplied to the coil and the core-opposing portions approach most to the core portion. | 10-02-2014 |

20150137014 | SOLENOID VALVE - An electromagnetic valve includes a housing, a plunger, a spring, and a solenoid. The housing includes a cylindrical guide member configured to assist axial movement of the plunger, a seat member assembled to the guide member with a valve hole formed therein, a stationary core arranged so as to be opposed to an end portion of the guide member at a predetermined distance away therefrom in an axial direction, and a sleeve coupled, in a liquid-tight manner, to each of an outer circumference of an end portion of the stationary core and an outer circumference of the end portion of the guide member so as to integrally couple the stationary core and the guide member to each other. The plunger has formed therein a communication hole passing through the plunger in the axial direction so as to communicate to a passage (communicating to an inlet port and an outlet port) at one end and to a receiving portion of the spring at the other end, and a path for communicating the communication hole and a space portion formed on an inner side of the sleeve at a position between the end portion of the stationary core and the end portion of the guide member. Accordingly, when the working liquid is caused to flow from the inlet port toward the outlet port, the working liquid is caused to flow into the communication hole through the path, and thus air inside the electromagnetic valve can be discharged to the outside by the working liquid flowing from the passage out of the housing. | 05-21-2015 |
20150192217 | ELECTROMAGNETIC VALVE - An electromagnetic valve includes a housing, a valve element, a movable core, a spring, a coil, and a stationary core. The housing includes a cylinder portion that houses the movable core so that the movable core is movable in an axial direction. An axial intermediate portion of the cylinder portion is formed as a non-magnetic portion that surrounds an outer circumference of an axial intermediate portion of the movable core. Both axial sides of the non-magnetic portion are formed as a one-side magnetic portion and an another-side magnetic portion that surround an outer circumference of the movable core. An electromagnetic force in a direction perpendicular to the axial direction, for generating a friction resistance to axial movement of the movable core, is set to be generated by energization of the coil between the outer circumference of the movable core and the one-side magnetic portion of the cylinder portion on one axial side of the non-magnetic portion and between the outer circumference of the movable core and the another-side magnetic portion of the cylinder portion on another axial side of the non-magnetic portion. | 07-09-2015 |
20150369387 | ELECTROMAGNETIC VALVE - In an electromagnetic valve in which a valve body unit is housed in a housing, the unit has a plunger including a groove portion at its cylindrical outer peripheral face. The groove portion extends in the cylinder axis direction and moves in the cylinder axis direction by an electromagnetic force generated by an electromagnetic coil. A rod is secured to the plunger and abuts against a valve seat for opening and closing the valve when the plunger is moved to close the valve and releasing the abutment of the rod against the seat when the plunger is moved to open the valve. A cylindrical sleeve covers the outer peripheral face of the plunger and is configured integrally with the plunger. A communication passage defined by the groove portion of the plunger and the inner peripheral face of the sleeve extends in the cylinder axis direction. | 12-24-2015 |
20160059839 | METHOD FOR DETECTING FLUID LEAKAGE - A method for detecting fluid leakage from a pressure-decrease valve in a hydraulic brake system having an ABS device including: a shutoff valve for shutting off supply of a working fluid from a fluid-pressure supply source to a brake device provided for a wheel; the pressure-decrease valve for discharging the working fluid from the brake device; a reservoir for storing the working fluid discharged from the pressure-decrease valve; and a return pump for returning the working fluid stored in the reservoir to a portion between the shutoff valve and the fluid-pressure supply source, the method including the steps of: activating the return pump in a state in which the hydraulic brake system is not in ABS operation, and detecting the fluid leakage from the pressure-decrease valve based on a variation in a pressure of the working fluid in the fluid-pressure supply source caused when the return pump is activated. | 03-03-2016 |
20160096434 | BRAKE APPARATUS - A first ECU estimates whether the operation of a second actuator has been started, based on the variation of the hydraulic pressure with respect to the flow rate of hydraulic fluid outputted from a first actuator. Even in a case where the operation information of the second actuator is not received, the first ECU sets the control mode to a simultaneous operation mode, when it is estimated that the operation of the second actuator has been started. In the simultaneous operation mode, a controlled parameter of linear control valves on assumption that the second actuator is operating is set up, and a stop instruction of regenerative braking is transmitted to a hybrid ECU. | 04-07-2016 |
