Abstract:
Certain examples present an improved compressed-air energy storage system. The system can include multiple sequential stages, in which accumulators are charged with air, which influences a hydraulic fluid to influence a pump/motor, and vice versa.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a hydraulic device which reduces wear and damage to a seal member by an opening on a cylinder, and a brake pressure control device using the same. SOLUTION: A port 514 communicating with the outside of a reservoir device 5 is opened on the inner peripheral surface 511a of a cylinder hole 511 in the reservoir device 5. A hollow part 515 is formed in a reservoir body 51 concentrically with the ports 514. An annular thin piece 516 is formed between the inner peripheral surface 511a of the cylinder hole 511 and the hollow part 515 so as to surround the port 514 in a radial direction, and is radially pressed outward with the port 514 as a center in a range narrower than an inside diameter of the hollow part 515, thereby being flexibly deformed outward. As a result, a root portion of the thin piece 516 has a curved surface in the inner peripheral surface 511a of the cylinder hole 511 while the opening 514a of the port 514 is recessed outward from the inner peripheral surface 511a of the cylinder hole 511.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a welded joint capable of preventing defects due to spattering occurring in a resistance welding. SOLUTION: An accumulator 10 forming the welded joint comprises a shell 11 formed by resistance-welding axially divided first and second shell elements 21 and 22 to each other and a ring unit 13 disposed on the inner surface side of a welded point 25. The ring unit 13 comprises a heat resistant ring 60 and insulating rings 61 and 62 which are ring-shaped members with electric insulating property. The heat resistant ring 60 is disposed in the peripheral direction of the shell 11 along the welded point 25 so as to face the welded point 25. The insulating rings 61 and 62 are installed at the axial end part of the heat resistant ring 60 so as not to face the welded point 25. A space S capable of enclosing the spattering produced from the welded point is formed between the outer peripheral surface of the ring unit 13 and the inner peripheral surface of the shell 11.

Abstract:
Venting of gaseous fuel during operation and after shutdown of an internal combustion engine increases emissions. A vent handling apparatus for a gaseous fuel system of an internal combustion engine comprises an accumulator for storing gaseous fuel; a first valve selectively enabling fluid communication between the accumulator and one of a gaseous fuel communication passage and a gaseous fuel storage vessel, the gaseous fuel communication passage delivering gaseous fuel to the internal combustion engine for combustion; and an apparatus for selectively returning the gaseous fuel from the accumulator to the internal combustion engine for combustion.
