20160141636 | SEPARATOR FOR FUEL CELL, FUEL CELL, AND MANUFACTURING METHOD OF SEPARATOR - A separator for a fuel cell, to be disposed opposing to a membrane electrode assembly, is provided. The separator includes a separator central area portion opposing to a center area of the membrane electrode assembly that concerns generating power, an outer edge portion located in an outer edge of the separator central area portion, a rubber molded body made of rubber, the rubber molded body being formed in the outer edge portion by die-casting a die-casting rubber material using die, and an adhesive layer formed in the outer edge portion, for adhering the rubber molded body to the outer edge portion. The adhesive layer is formed over an adhesive layer area that includes and is larger than an area where the rubber molded body is die-casted in the outer edge portion. Thus, a disadvantage due to burrs which are generated when die-casting the rubber molded body can be reduced. | 05-19-2016 |
20110183238 | FUEL CELL - The present invention provides a fuel cell which is capable of improving electric power generation efficiency at a time of high-temperature operation. The fuel cell | 07-28-2011 |
20100323279 | FUEL CELL SIMULATOR AND FUEL CELL - Disclosed is a fuel cell simulator for predicting the power generation performance of a fuel cell including a membrane-electrode assembly having an electrolyte membrane, a catalyst layer, and a diffusion layer. The fuel cell simulator includes a model creation unit for modeling a catalyst layer from the geometry and property data of the catalyst layer, and a calculation unit for calculating the power generation state distribution of the catalyst layer or macro physical property values by using the catalyst layer model and establishing simultaneous equations of gas transportation, water production-transportation phase change, electrical conduction, heat conduction, and catalytic reaction. | 12-23-2010 |
20100211286 | DEVICE FOR LIMITING OUTPUT OF INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINE WHEN THE ENGINE HAS ABNORMALITY - An output restriction device for restricting engine output when a drive power output system for an internal combustion engine has an abnormality is provided. The output restriction device includes an abnormality detection unit, and initial restriction unit, and a secondary restriction unit. The abnormality restriction unit detects an abnormality in the drive power output system. The initial restriction unit restricts a tolerable range of the engine output to a first restriction region when the abnormality detection unit detects an abnormality in the drive power output system. A secondary restriction unit shifts the tolerable range of the engine output to a second restriction region, which has an upper limit lower than that of the first restriction region, in accordance with an operation history of the engine after the initial restriction unit restricts the tolerable range of the engine output to the first restriction region. | 08-19-2010 |
20100155027 | COOLING DEVICE - A cooling device includes a case including a mount surface having a power transistor mounted thereon, a coolant accommodating chamber formed in the case located above the mount surface, for accommodating a coolant capable of evaporating by heat from the power transistor, a cooling pipe provided in the case and being capable of cooling the coolant in a gaseous state, and a defining member provided in the coolant accommodating chamber and being capable of defining in the coolant accommodating chamber a first region capable of guiding the coolant in a gaseous state evaporated by the heat from the power transistor toward the cooling pipe, and a second region located downstream in a flow direction of the coolant with respect to the first region and being capable of guiding the coolant cooled by the cooling pipe toward a bottom of the coolant accommodating chamber. | 06-24-2010 |
20100151742 | CONNECTOR - The present invention provides a connector capable of being simply and easily connected without loss of electrical continuity even in a harsh environment. | 06-17-2010 |
20090183935 | STRUCTURE FOR MOUNTING POWER SUPPLY APPARATUS ON VEHICLE - A structure for mounting a power supply apparatus on a vehicle includes a driver's seat and a passenger's seat installed within a vehicle compartment and aligned in the vehicle width direction, an instrument panel provided at the vehicle front inside the vehicle compartment and equipped with electronics, a battery pack assembly located between the driver's seat and the passenger's seat, and wire harnesses electrically connected to the battery pack assembly. The vehicle front side and the vehicle upper side of the wire harnesses face the battery pack assembly. With the above-described configuration, there is provided a structure for mounting a power supply apparatus on a vehicle where the electronics provided at the instrument panel are appropriately protected from an electromagnetic wave. | 07-23-2009 |
20090069149 | BRAKE FORCE CONTROL DEVICE AND METHOD - A braking force control device includes: a brake control device that controls a mechanical brake braking torque by operating electric actuators so as to achieve a requested brake braking torque; a motor control device that controls a motor torque by operating motors so as to achieve the requested motor torque; a requested braking torque calculation device that calculates the requested braking torques of wheels; a battery requested electric power calculation device that finds a battery requested electric power based on target amounts of electricity charged in batteries; and an individual braking torque calculation device that finds the requested motor torque and the requested brake braking torque that cause the requested braking torque to be generated based on the battery requested electric power and the requested braking torque. | 03-12-2009 |
