Patent EP-1296084-A3 (EP)
Inventor: NOHARA OSAMU
IPC: F16H1/32
Filed: 2002-09-13
Abstract: Axial positions of two driven external gears 66 making up each of a plurality of paired-gear groups 67 with respect to an input shaft 62 are made identical, and a different paired-gear group 67 is arranged by being offset in the axial direction of the input shaft 62. Therefore, only two driven external gears 66 making up the paired-gear group 67 are present at an identical axial position of the input shaft 62. Consequently, even if the diameters of these driven external gears 66 are made large up to the very limit, these driven external gears 66 do not interfere with each other. Accordingly, it is possible to readily enlarge the reduction ratio based on the driving and driven external gears 65 and 66.

Abstract: An improved four-bar hinge assembly for attaching a trunk deck
lid to a vehicle body in which the control link of the four-bar linkage has its
usual vehicle-mounted pivot pin replaced by the rotatably driven output drive
shaft of a power drive mechanism that is rigidly and directly coupled to the
control link to swing to the same and thereby power actuate the four-bar linkage
in order to pivot the deck lid between open and closed positions. The hinge
elements are located on the weather side of the vehicle body components and
the drive shaft extends through the vehicle sheet metal into the weather sealed
trunk compartment so that the electro-mechanical drive components are
mounted within the weather sealed trunk.

Abstract: An improved method and system for reducing the power consumption of
computing devices capable of communicating over a wireless network allows longer
device operation and/or the use of smaller batteries. The wireless computing device
supports a low power channel for receiving control signals during idle periods of
operation. When the computing device is idle, the device is configured to power down
all of its components with the exception of the circuitry required to power the low power
channel. As such, the channel is maintained in an active state for receiving signals during
both idle and non-idle periods, or in an embodiment, only during idle periods. When
another device wishes to communicate with the wireless computing device, the low
power channel passes a "wake-up" signal to the device indicating that the device be
powered up from the idle mode of operation. A host RF component that is coupled to the
network via a host computer generates this wake-up signal in an embodiment of the
invention.

Abstract: Entered in a plant-maintenance apparatus are data on
inspection, diagnosis, repair and operation histories for
equipment that constitute a plant to be maintained.
Failure-event tree breakdown is performed on failures to be
expected for the equipment. Predicted is unreliability of at
least one starting item in the failure-event tree breakdown.
Unreliability of each item in the failure-event tree is
calculated based on failure unreliability function.
Unreliability and a cost of recovery from each failure event
in the failure-event tree are multiplied and results of the
multiplication are accumulated in accordance with the tree
breakdown, thus obtaining a recovery cost. Preventive
maintenance expenses are calculated for preventing failure
events. Maintenance timing and technique are decided through
comparison between the recovery cost and the preventive
maintenance expenses. Instead of the failure-event tree
breakdown, efficiency and operational-function decay
event-tree breakdown may be performed on efficiency and
operational-function decay factors to be expected for the
equipment. Predicted in this case is unreliability of at least
one starting item in the efficiency and operational-function
decay event-tree breakdown. Unreliability of each item in the
efficiency and operational-function decay-event tree breakdown
is calculated based on failure unreliability function. Further
calculated is efficiency and operational-function decay to be
expected from the calculation based on the failure unreliability
function. Unreliability and monetary loss due to efficiency
and operational-function decay and a cost of recovery from the
decay are multiplied and results of the multiplication are
accumulated in accordance with the efficiency and
operational-function decay-event tree breakdown. Preventive
maintenance expenses are calculated for preventing the
efficiency and operational-function decay.
