20080254690 | EMERGENCY ENGINE SHUTOFF APPARATUS AND ACCIDENT DETERMINING APPARATUS FOR SHIP - An emergency engine shutoff apparatus for shutting off an engine in an accident of a ship having a hull and an outboard engine system is provided which includes: an acceleration detector for detecting an acceleration applied in a longitudinal direction of the hull and an acceleration applied in a vertical direction of the hull; an accident determining apparatus for determining that a collision accident occurred when the acceleration applied in a longitudinal direction of the hull exceeds a threshold, and for determining that a capsize accident occurred when a roll angle of the ship exceeds a threshold, the roll angle being arithmetically operated by using the acceleration in the vertical direction; and an engine shutoff apparatus for shutting off the engine by stopping fuel supply to the engine when it is determined that a collision accident or a capsize accident occurred. | 10-16-2008 |
20080261466 | CONTROL DEVICE FOR POWER TRIM UNIT FOR OUTBOARD ENGINE - A control device for a power trim unit for an outboard engine includes: a circuit that supplies a driving current to a power trim motor of the outboard engine from a DC power supply through an overcurrent protection switch and an H bridge circuit comprised of semiconductor switches; a trim angle control portion that performs control to cause a trim angle to reach a target value by performing PWM control of the driving current supplied from the DC power supply through the H bridge circuit to the power trim motor according to a deviation between the target value of the trim angle of the outboard engine and a trim angle detected by a trim angle sensor; and an overcurrent protection portion that turns off the overcurrent protection switch when overcurrent flows through the H bridge circuit. | 10-23-2008 |
20090042459 | CONTROL DEVICE FOR MARINE ENGINE - A control device for a marine engine comprised so that a section of an angle sufficiently narrower than a crank angle corresponding to each stroke of a combustion cycle of the engine is set as an instantaneous speed detection section, a crank angle position that appears every time the engine rotates in the instantaneous speed detection section is detected as a specific crank angle position, an instantaneous rotational speed of the engine is detected every time each specific crank angle position is detected, it is determined whether the engine needs to be assisted from the degree of reduction in the instantaneous rotational speed, and a motor-generator including a rotor directly connected to a crankshaft of the engine is driven to apply a drive force from the motor-generator to the engine when it is determined that the engine needs to be assisted. | 02-12-2009 |
20090057006 | ELECTRONIC UNIT AND PRODUCTION METHOD OF THE SAME - A method of producing an electronic unit in which components are housed in a case and molded with resin, wherein an opening portion of the case housing the components of the unit is closed by a lid plate, the resin is poured into the case through the hole provided in the lid plate to fill the case with the resin while allowing air to be exhausted through a hole provided in a bottom wall portion of the case, with the lid plate of the case directed downward, then the resin in the case is discharged to the outside through the hole provided in the lid plate, and thus a resin mold layer that continuously covers entire surfaces of the components housed in the case and an inner surface of the case is formed with space in contact with the resin mold layer remaining in the case. | 03-05-2009 |
20090284087 | STARTER GENERATOR - A starter generator which comprises a rotor having a cuplike-shaped rotor yoke and magnets attached to an inner periphery of the rotor yoke, a stator mounted on a stator bracket and a protecting cover covering said rotor and stator, in which a hermetically sealed casing is constituted by said protecting cover and stator bracket, wherein a plurality of fans are provided on an outer surface of a bottom wall portion of said rotor yoke, a plurality of vent holes are provided through said bottom wall portion, said plurality of fans constitute a centrifugal fan which draws out air inside the rotor yoke through said vent holes and sends the air to an outer periphery of the rotor yoke, and a guide surface which guides the air sent to the outer periphery of the rotor yoke to a space inside the rotor yoke is provided on the stator bracket. | 11-19-2009 |
20090322149 | ONBOARD ELECTRIC POWER CONTROL DEVICE - An onboard electric power control device which comprises a power unit, a control unit and a power source unit, in which: an opening portion of a case containing components of the power unit and an opening portion of a case containing components of the control unit are abutted so as to be coupled; a case of the power supply unit is fitted to an opening portion being provided on a side surface of the case of the power unit so that the both cases are coupled; the power unit and the control unit is connected by a flexible connecting conductor; and the connecting conductor is folded and is contained between a resin molded portion formed inside of the case of the power unit and a resin molded portion formed inside of the case of the control unit. | 12-31-2009 |
20110040434 | MOTORCYCLE - A motorcycle that transmits a rotation of an engine to a driving wheel via a power transmission device having a main clutch comprises a sub-clutch inserted between the power transmission device and an output shaft of the engine and a motor generator having a rotating shaft coupled to the power transmission device and is comprised so that the rotating shaft of the motor generator is coupled to the engine via the sub-clutch and to the driving wheel via the main clutch, and the motorcycle can be moved backward by turning off the sub-clutch and transmitting a rotation of the motor generator to the driving wheel via the main clutch. | 02-17-2011 |
20130234446 | CONTROL DEVICE FOR ROTARY ELECTRICAL MACHINE - A control device for controlling a rotary electrical machine functioning as a motor and as a power generator, the device being provided with a power conversion circuit serving to function as an inverter for supplying a drive current from a battery to the rotary electrical machine and as a rectifier for rectifying the power generation output of the rotary electrical machine and supplying the output to the battery; and being provided with a controller for controlling the conversion circuit so that three-phase armature coils of the rotary electrical machine are short-circuited when the battery is disconnected from the conversion circuit and the DC output voltage of the conversion circuit becomes excessive, after which, when the DC output voltage of the conversion circuit decreases to a set low voltage, the short circuit of one phase of the armature coil is released and only two phases are short-circuited. | 09-12-2013 |
