The movable iron core and the pilot valve body are designed to slidably engage with each other, and the movable iron core and the main valve body are designed to slidably engage with each other with a play therebetween. When the movable iron core is attracted by the fixed iron core by energization of the coil, the movable iron core causes the pilot valve body to slide inside the second sliding hole and sliding of the pilot valve body causes the main valve body to slide inside the sliding hole. | 11-04-2010 |
20120080625 | SAFETY VALVE AND ELECTROMAGNETIC VALVE - A safety valve includes a cylinder having an open end and a plug for closing the open end with a hermetic seal. The interior of the cylinder communicates with a high-pressure gas passage. The cylinder is deformed as a function of gas pressure in the high-pressure gas passage to widen the open end. This allows gas in the high-pressure gas passage to escape and thus prevents the gas pressure from increasing beyond an acceptable level. | 04-05-2012 |
20120199775 | Electromagnetic Valve - An electromagnetic valve includes: a valve main body including an inlet and an outlet of a fluid; a valve body to be seated on a valve seat provided between the inlet and the outlet; a movable iron core separating the valve body from the valve seat to communicate the inlet with the outlet; and a fixed iron core attracting the movable iron core by energization of a coil to axially drive the movable iron core. The valve main body includes an insertion hole into which a guide member is inserted and a stopper portion to stop the guide member biased by a pressure of the fluid. The guide member includes a sliding hole in which the movable iron core is axially movable, and is arranged in the insertion hole in a slidable manner with respect to the valve main body to be biased by the pressure of the fluid. | 08-09-2012 |

20120254287 | METHOD OF PROCESSING DISTRIBUTED COMPUTING SYSTEM - A processing method for a distributed computing system includes a round proposal signal transmission step, a round accept signal transmission step, a round-winning judgment step, an instance proposal signal transmission step, an instance accept signal transmission step, an instance consensus judgment step, an instance execution instruction signal transmission step, an instance execution step. In the instance consensus judgment step, a leader judges whether or not a condition regarding reception of the instance accept signal is satisfied, on the basis of whether or not the number of agents from which the leader has received the instance accept signal is greater than or equal to a number obtained by subtracting one from the majority of servers constituting a cell. In the instance proposal signal transmission step, the leader transmits, to each agent, the instance proposal signal for other instances without confirming satisfaction of the condition regarding reception of the instance accept signal. | 10-04-2012 |

20090022453 | Optical Deflection Method and Optical Deflection Apparatus - An optical deflection apparatus includes a signal light source configured to emit signal light having one or more wavelengths, a control light source configured to emit control light having a wavelength different from the wavelength of the signal light, a thermal lens forming optical element including a light absorption layer configured to transmit the signal light and selectively absorb the control light, and a beam-condensing unit configured to cause beam-condensation of the control light and the signal light at different convergence points in the light absorption layer. The thermal lens forming optical element causes convergence and divergence of the control light and the signal light on an incidence plane of the light absorption layer or its vicinity in a light traveling direction, wherein a thermal lens is reversibly formed in the light absorption layer due to a temperature increase occurring in a region where the control light is absorbed and its peripheral region, and the thermal lens changes a refractive index to change a traveling direction of the signal light. | 01-22-2009 |
