Title: Innovations of Mikio Saito

Introduction

Mikio Saito is a prominent inventor based in Motosu-gun, Japan. He has made significant contributions to the field of automotive technology, holding a total of 18 patents. His work focuses on improving engine systems, particularly in minimizing mechanical impact and noise.

Latest Patents

One of Saito's latest patents is an engine start system designed to minimize mechanical impact or noise. This innovative system can be employed in automotive idle stop systems. To start an engine, the system engages a pinion gear with a ring gear coupled to the engine. It then activates an electric motor to rotate the ring gear through the pinion gear, cranking the engine. Notably, when the engine is requested to start during deceleration before it stops, the system thrusts the pinion into engagement with the ring gear. The motor activation is delayed until after the pinion gear has engaged the ring gear. This design minimizes mechanical impact or noise during engagement and enhances the reliability and durability of the system.
