| 20090128062 | Electric power tool - An electric power tool, which comprises a motor that drives a tool, a power source unit that applies voltage to the motor, a main switching circuit that makes/breaks an electrical connection between the power source unit and the motor, an illuminator that illuminates a work spot, a switching device that electrically connects the illuminator to the power source unit, and an OR circuit that is electrically connected to terminals of the motor to the base terminal is provided. The OR circuit electrically connects one of the motor terminals at which a voltage is higher to the base terminal. | 05-21-2009 |
| 20090207035 | Electrical power tools - An electrical power tool may include a housing, a rotating tool that is rotatably attached to the housing, a motor that is positioned in the housing and is capable of rotating the rotating tool, a manipulating portion that is attached to the housing, and an indicator device that is disposed in the housing and is capable of indicating a condition of the electrical power tool. The manipulating portion is positioned to substantially cover the indicator device. The manipulating portion is constructed such that light emitted from the indicator device can be transmitted therethrough. | 08-20-2009 |
| 20090295313 | Rechargeable power tool, control unit and recording medium - A rechargeable power tool includes a direct current motor, a switching circuit, at least one speed setting unit, a duty ratio setting unit, a drive unit, an operation amount detecting unit, an abnormality determining unit, and a determination threshold setting unit. The abnormality determining unit compares an operation amount detected by the operation amount detecting unit and a determination threshold set based on the operation amount to thereby determine whether or not an operation state of the rechargeable power tool is abnormal. The determination threshold setting unit sets the determination threshold in a continuous or stepwise manner in accordance with a rotation speed set by the speed setting unit. | 12-03-2009 |
| 20090309519 | Power tool having an illuminator - A power tool of the present teachings comprises a prime mover that drives a tool, a main switch that causes the prime mover to operate when the main switch is turned on and causes the prime mover to stop operating when the main switch is turned off, an illuminator that lights a working area of the tool, and a lighting mode selector switch for switching the lighting mode of the illuminator between a plurality of lighting modes which include a first lighting mode and a second lighting mode. When the first lighting mode is selected, the illuminator will be turned on for a first predetermined period from the point at which the main switch is turned off. When the second lighting mode is selected, the illuminator will not be turned on during the first predetermined period from the point at which the main switch is turned off. | 12-17-2009 |
| 20100308764 | MOTOR CONTROLLER AND ELECTRIC TOOL HAVING THE SAME - A motor controller comprises a processor selectively outputting an on-signal to either one of an upper arm switching element and a lower arm switching element based upon a detected position by the position sensor, gate drivers inputting a driving voltage to the gates of the switching elements by shifting a level of the on-signal from the processor to the upper arm switching element and a bootstrap capacitor configured to be charged while the upper arm switching element is turned off and to behave as a voltage supply for the gate driver while the upper arm switching element is turned on. The processor is configured to reduce a set duty ratio when the set duty ratio is equal to or larger than a predetermined value (e.g. 80 percents) and a rotational position of the motor does not change for a first predetermined time. This motor controller can prevent the switching element from a burnout even if the motor is locked. | 12-09-2010 |

| 20080304139 | Laser Phase Difference Detecting Device and Laser Phase Control Device - A phase difference detecting device includes a splitter for splitting laser beams into a first group which will travel along a first path and a second group which will travel along a second path, a beam selection/extraction unit for selecting, as reference light, one beam from the first group to allow it to pass therethrough, a path length changing unit for changing the length of the first path, a combining unit for combining the reference light and beams which construct the second group to produce interference light, and a detector for detecting the intensity of the interference light. The device changes the length of the first path using the path length changing unit to detect a path length which maximizes the intensity of the interference light for each of the beams which construct the second group, and determines a phase difference among the beams from the detected path length. | 12-11-2008 |
| 20090080054 | Speckle removing light source and lighting apparatus - Provided are a speckle removing light source capable of removing speckle by using laser light whose wavelength is temporally changed and a lighting apparatus for producing an image from which the speckle is removed. Provided is a speckle removing light source, including: a light source for outputting laser light; and a light frequency modulator for changing a wavelength of the laser light, in which: the wavelength of the laser light outputted from the light source is temporally changed by the light frequency modulator; and the light frequency modulator has a predetermined period set for changing the wavelength of the laser light. Also, provided is a lighting apparatus, including: a spatial light modulator illuminated with the laser light outputted from the speckle removing light source to produce an image, in which the spatial light modulator has a period set for producing the image, and the period is longer than the period for changing the wavelength of the laser light by the light frequency modulator. | 03-26-2009 |
| 20090109698 | Lighting apparatus - Provided is a lighting apparatus capable of uniformly and efficiently lighting a spatial light modulator. The lighting apparatus includes: a light source for outputting laser light; a multimode optical fiber in which the laser light outputted from the light source propagates through an internal core whose lateral cross section is a substantially polygonal outer diameter shape; and spatial light modulator for producing an image with illumination light from the multimode optical fiber. In the lighting apparatus, the laser light is outputted from the light source and is propagated to the multimode optical fiber in which an outer diameter shape of the lateral cross section of the core is a substantially polygonal shape, whereby the spatial light modulator can be uniformly and efficiently lighted. | 04-30-2009 |
