A walking training system includes a leg orthosis fitted to a leg of a user, a pulling member coupled to the leg orthosis, a first drive mechanism configured to apply pull force to the pulling member, according to walking motion of the user, a holding device that holds the pulling member at a holding level, at a point between a coupling point of the leg orthosis and the first drive mechanism, and a second drive mechanism configured to change the holding level of the pulling member held by the holding device, according to the walking motion of the user.

In an EGR valve, a valve element is moved with respect to a valve seat to adjust a passage section width of a measuring section, thereby regulating an EGR gas flow rate in a passage. The valve seat includes a valve hole, a first end face facing to a downstream side of the passage and a second end face facing to an upstream side of the passage. The inner circumferential surface of the valve hole has a concave curved shape with an inner diameter gradually increasing toward the second end face. The valve element is placed inside the valve hole to be movable in between a fully closed position and a fully open position. While the valve element is placed in the fully open position, passage section widths of parts of the measuring section in an EGR gas flow direction are approximate to each other.

A motor-driven fuel pump including a cylindrical housing; a pump section fixedly mounted at one end portion of the housing so as to close the one end portion; a motor section mounted in the housing for driving the pump section; and a cover member fixedly mounted at the other end portion of the housing so as to close the other end portion by caulking an end of the housing; wherein an outer end surface of the cover member projects outwardly from the caulked end of the housing to increase a wall thickness of the cover member without increasing a total length of the housing, whereby a sound from the motor section is reduced.

Motor-driven fuel pump

A fuel pump including an impeller having a plurality of vanes at an outer circumference thereof and a well member surrounding the vanes and formed with a fuel grooves to define a pump chamber, wherein a portion of an edge of the fuel groove intersecting the vanes is chamfered. Accordingly, it is possible to reduce an impeller noise caused by the sudden shearing of the fuel flow in the pump chamber when the vanes of the impeller cross the edge of the fuel groove, thereby greatly improving the silentness in an automobile compartment.
