20130170935 | TRANSFER ROBOT - Described herein is a conveyance robot. In certain aspects, a conveyance robot can include a first link member configured to be rotatable about a first axis, a second link member configured to be rotatable about a second axis positioned at a predetermined distance relative to the first axis, a holding member configured to be capable of holding an article and rotating about a third axis positioned at a predetermined distance relative to the second axis, an ascending and descending drive unit for driving at least the holding member to ascend and descend. In certain aspects, an arm link mechanism can be included. The arm link mechanism can be constituted by connecting the first link member, the second link member, and the holding member in this order, and the ascending and descending drive unit is placed between the first link member and the holding member so as to form a part of the arm link mechanism. | 07-04-2013 |
20130202394 | PLATE-SHAPED MEMBER TRANSFER FACILITY - Provided is a plate-shaped member transfer facility capable of inserting a plate-shaped member in a raised state into a rack and retrieving the plate-shaped member in the raised state from the rack. A stocker facility includes: a rack configured to store glass plates such that the stored glass plates are arranged in a front-rear direction in a raised state; and a track robot configured to transfer the glass plates between the track robot and the rack by moving the glass plates to the left and right. The track robot includes a track-side running base, a flip, a track-side conveyance base, and rollers. | 08-08-2013 |
20140210224 | END EFFECTOR DEVICE AND SUBSTRATE CONVEYING ROBOT INCLUDING END EFFECTOR DEVICE - An end effector device attached to a tip end portion of a robot arm includes a plurality of support units provided on a blade. Each of the support units includes: a plurality of nail pieces configured to support peripheral portions of a plurality of semiconductor wafers such that the semiconductor wafers are parallel to one another and spaced apart from one another; and a pitch changing mechanism configured to change upper-lower intervals of the nail pieces. The pitch changing mechanism includes: a coil spring configured to support the plurality of nail pieces such that the plurality of nail pieces are spaced apart from one another in an upper-lower direction and elastically deform in the upper-lower direction; and an operating mechanism configured to cause the coil spring to elastically deform in the upper-lower direction. The operating mechanism includes a piston pin fitted in the coil spring to move up and down. | 07-31-2014 |

20120145123 | IDLE CONTROL DEVICE FOR ENGINE - An idle control device for an engine is provided that can prevent delay in return to a target revolution speed which may cause unpleasant vehicle vibration or lead to an engine stall. | 06-14-2012 |
20120296558 | CONTROL UNIT OF INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINE - A peak signal extracting device extracts a first peak value, being the maximum value of vibration level of a specified frequency in a predetermined crank angle range, and a crank angle; noise level storage device stores a noise vibration level; noise occurrence timing estimation device estimates a crank angle at which noise vibration peak takes place; and noise removing device calculates a second peak value based on the first peak value when a crank angle at which first peak value takes place and a crank angle at which noise peak value estimated to take place are not in coincidence, and calculates a second peak value based on the first peak value and noise peak value when the crank angles are identical. Even if the knocking vibration peak and noise vibration peak are overlapped, presence or absence of occurrence of knocking is determined precisely and a knocking strength is calculated properly. | 11-22-2012 |
20130151127 | INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINE CONTROL APPARATUS - An internal combustion engine control apparatus includes a pseudo knock determination unit that determines whether or not a pseudo knock has been produced in a knock detection window, based on at least one of the frequency, a status amount indicating a rotation speed of the internal combustion engine, a status amount indicating a load of the internal combustion engine, and a status amount indicating an air-fuel ratio of the internal combustion engine; and a moving-average processing unit that sets a second period to a period that is approximately the same as a first period, in the case where it has been determined that the pseudo knock was not produced, and that does not implement moving-averaging or sets the second period to a period that is narrower than the first period, in the case where it has been determined that a pseudo knock was produced. | 06-13-2013 |
20130151128 | INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINE CONTROL APPARATUS - There are provided a combustion start determination unit that determines whether or not the inner-cylinder state of an internal combustion engine has changed from a non-combustion state to a combustion state; and a filter coefficient changing demand unit that outputs a filter coefficient changing demand until a predetermined filter coefficient changing period elapses from the time instant when the combustion start determination unit determines that the inner-cylinder state of the internal combustion engine has changed from the non-combustion state to the combustion state to the time instant. Based on the filter coefficient changing demand, at least one of a background level calculation unit and a standard deviation calculation unit changes the value of a filter coefficient utilized in a filtering operation to the one with which a filtering effect is weakened. | 06-13-2013 |
20140137552 | CONTROL DEVICE AND CONTROL METHOD FOR AN INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINE - Provided is a control device for an internal combustion engine, which improves acceleration performance while maintaining fuel performance in a non-supercharging operation range. A bypass passage ( | 05-22-2014 |
