Patent number: 8241437Abstract: The present invention provides a metal sheet rolling method of rolling a metal sheet with a pair of rolls, as well as a rolled sheet manufactured by the metal sheet rolling method. In the metal sheet rolling method, respective interfaces between the pair of rolls and the metal sheet have mutually different frictions. Additionally at least one of the interfaces may be lubricated by a procedure other than lubrication by coating of a liquid lubricant agent. Alternatively at least one of the interfaces may be subjected to surface treatment by a procedure other than lubrication, or otherwise the pair of rolls may be made of mutually different materials.Type: GrantFiled: August 26, 2009Date of Patent: August 14, 2012Assignee: NGK Insulators, Ltd.Inventors: Hiroshi Utsunomiya, Tetsuo Sakai, Takaya Ueno, Naokuni Muramatsu

Patent number: 8210011Abstract: A continuous repetitive method of rolling a series combination of asymmetric rolling and skin pass rolling operations is provided. Differential-speed rolling is performed as the asymmetric rolling, and a winder temporarily winds a metal strip with a collapsed plate shape by traverse winding (loose winding which allows the metal strip to be wound in a zigzag manner). Then, the skin pass rolling is performed, and orderly winding is performed in a coil form. In the flow of rolling, tandem rolling may be performed by arranging two or more rolling mills side by side so that the asymmetric rolling and the skin pass rolling operations are continuously performed without the traverse winding therebetween.Type: GrantFiled: September 2, 2010Date of Patent: July 3, 2012Assignees: NGK Insulators, Ltd., Tetsuo Sakai, Hiroshi UtsunomiyaInventors: Naokuni Muramatsu, Ryota Takeuchi, Tetsuo Sakai, Hiroshi Utsunomiya

Patent number: 7934245Abstract: In order to accurately display information on the format of different signals from respective different signal source apparatuses as an image, the output signals of analog signal sources are supplied through an interface, signal lines and other interfaces to an analog signal processing circuit. Also, output signals of digital signal sources and output signals of information generating circuits are synthesized by multiplexers and supplied to a demultiplexer through interfaces, buses and an interface. The signals from the separated signal sources are processed in a digital signal processing circuit. The signals from the separated generating circuits are supplied to an information processing circuit, so that an image corresponding to the information indicating the format of the apparatus and/or the output signal is formed, and is synthesized with the signals from the signal processing circuits to be supplied to a monitor.Type: GrantFiled: March 24, 2000Date of Patent: April 26, 2011Assignee: Sony CorporationInventors: Hiroshi Utsunomiya, Futoshi Kaibuki, Satoshi Kobayashi

Publication number: 20100326162Abstract: A flow of rolling with a combination of asymmetric rolling (S1) and skin pass rolling (S3) is shown. Differential-speed rolling is performed as the asymmetric rolling, and a winder temporarily winds a metal strip with a collapsed plate shape by traverse winding (loose winding which allows the metal strip is wound in a zigzag manner: S2). Then, the skin pass rolling is performed, and orderly winding is performed in a coil form (S4). As shown in the flow of rolling, tandem rolling may be performed by arranging two or more rolling mills side by side so that the asymmetric rolling and the skin pass rolling are continuously performed without the traverse winding (S2) in the mid course.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 2, 2010Publication date: December 30, 2010Applicants: NGK Insulators, Ltd., Tetsuo SAKAI, Hiroshi UTSUNOMIYAInventors: Naokuni MURAMATSU, Ryota Takeuchi, Tetsuo Sakai, Hiroshi Utsunomiya

Patent number: 7372508Abstract: The present invention presents an information-outputting apparatus, an information-reporting method and an information-signal-supply-route-selecting method, which provide a digital-content utilization environment giving the user a high degree of freedom to make use of the apparatus and the methods. The information-outputting apparatus receives an isochronous packet transmitted by a source external apparatus by adoption of an isochronous communication method through a digital bus connecting the external apparatus to the information-outputting apparatus. In the information-outputting apparatus, an IEEE 1394 I/F circuit extracts information on the source electronic apparatus and information on the transmission format. A control unit supplies these pieces of information to an OSD-generating circuit for displaying them on a screen of a display unit employed in the information-outputting apparatus.Type: GrantFiled: May 3, 2004Date of Patent: May 13, 2008Assignee: Sony CorporationInventors: Hiroshi Utsunomiya, Satoshi Kobayashi, Futoshi Kaibuki
