Patent number: 10750631Abstract: A head-mounted display configured to enhance the ease of wearing work and the stability of wearing is provided. A wearing band has an extending section and a movable section that is movable relative to the extending section in the length direction of the wearing band. A locking mechanism is capable of switching the wearing band between an unlocked state in which the movements of the movable section in the extending direction in which the length of the wearing band is increased and in the retracting direction in which the length of the wearing band is decreased are allowed and a locked state in which the movement of the movable section in the extending direction is restricted. The movable section is urged at least in the retracting direction in an unlocked state.Type: GrantFiled: October 2, 2019Date of Patent: August 18, 2020Assignee: Sony Interactive Entertainment Inc.Inventors: Takamasa Araki, Fumihiko Sato, Takayuki Tateno

Publication number: 20200076335Abstract: An auxiliary power supply device includes a parasitic diode forming a parallel circuit together with a second switching element and connected in a forward direction to a main power supply, and a parasitic diode forming a parallel circuit together with a fourth switching element and connected in a reverse direction to an auxiliary power supply. When a state parameter indicates that a reaction force that interferes with operation of an assist motor is applied, an electronic control unit turns ON a first switching element, turns OFF the second switching element, turns ON a third switching element, and turns OFF the fourth switching element. A regenerative current from the assist motor flows to the auxiliary power supply via an inverter, the third switching element, and the parasitic diode.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 26, 2019Publication date: March 5, 2020Applicant: JTEKT CORPORATIONInventors: Shingo SUZUKI, Fumihiko SATO

Patent number: 10008496Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure includes a semiconductor structure and a method of forming. A plurality of fins on a semiconductor substrate and a plurality of dummy gates is formed. The plurality of dummy gates are oriented perpendicular to the plurality of fins. An amorphous silicon layer is formed directly on top of said plurality of dummy gates and on top of the plurality of fins. A first portion of the amorphous silicon layer between at least one pair of adjacent dummy gates of the plurality of dummy gates is removed to form an opening. A nitride layer is deposited in the opening to cover the plurality of fins. The rest of the amorphous silicon layer between other adjacent dummy gates is removed to expose the underneath plurality of fins. Source/drain regions are formed surrounding the exposed plurality of fins.Type: GrantFiled: May 8, 2017Date of Patent: June 26, 2018Assignee: GLOBALFOUNDRIES INC.Inventor: Fumihiko Sato
