AKEBONO BRAKE INDUSTRY CO., LTD.

Systems and methods for controlling electric parking brakes, including their actuators, redundancy features, and diagnostic capabilities for ensuring reliable operation.

Systems and methods utilizing sensors and control logic to detect, measure, and report the wear status of brake components, enabling predictive maintenance or safety alerts.

Actuators, control, and components for converting electrical energy into braking force, often involving motors, spindles, and friction elements, particularly for vehicle applications.

Design and optimization of the core hydraulic elements of a brake system, including master cylinders, valves, pistons, fluid reservoirs, and their associated sealing mechanisms.

Novel designs or control strategies for clutches, including one-way, centrifugal, or disconnect types, to manage torque transmission in powertrains and other mechanical systems.

Abrasive slurry compositions used in semiconductor manufacturing for planarizing wafer surfaces, typically containing abrasive particles and chemical additives to achieve specific material removal rates and selectivity.

Composite materials where a metallic matrix is reinforced with a second phase (e.g., ceramic particles, carbon nanotubes, diamond grains) to significantly enhance properties like hardness, wear resistance, stiffness, or strength, often used in cutting tools, wear parts, or structural applications.

Methods and devices that determine the position, angle, or distance of an object by detecting changes in magnetic fields or inductive coupling.
