Patent number: 9640613Abstract: Improvements are achieved in the performance and reliability of a semiconductor device. In a trench in an n-type semiconductor substrate, a gate electrode for a trench-gate field effect transistor is formed via a gate insulating film. A p-type semiconductor region for channel formation is formed so as to be adjacent to the trench. Over the p-type semiconductor region, a source n+-type semiconductor region is formed so as to be adjacent to the trench. In the semiconductor substrate, a first p-type column is formed under the p-type semiconductor region. Under the first p-type column, a second p-type column is formed. The first p-type column is internally included in the second p-type column in plan view. The two-dimensional size of the second p-type column is larger than the two-dimensional size of the first p-type column.Type: GrantFiled: July 23, 2016Date of Patent: May 2, 2017Assignee: Renesas Electronics CorporationInventor: Junichi Takizawa

Patent number: 6741285Abstract: At the time of preliminary photographing for exposure adjustment, an image pickup screen is divided into n blocks S100 and color decision processing is executed for sorting each block into a block belonging to monochromatic light and a block belonging to light other than the monochromatic light S102. A reference luminance value LSi (LSi=(Ri+2Gi+Bi)/4) is set for the block belonging to the light other than the monochromatic light as a luminance value Li of the block S104 and a higher value than the reference luminance value LSi is set for the block belonging to the monochromatic light as the luminance value Li S106. Then, exposure is adjusted so that an average E of this luminance value Li can match a target luminance value X (reflectivity of 18%) S108, S110. Accordingly, the monochromatic light can be prevented from being displayed more brightly than needed, and, as a result, photographing is enabled with a more appropriate exposure.Type: GrantFiled: March 9, 2001Date of Patent: May 25, 2004Assignee: Eastman Kodak CompanyInventor: Junichi Takizawa

Patent number: 4373747Abstract: A passive safety belt device for a vehicle comprising a safety belt connected between the door of the vehicle and a retractor provided on the floor of the vehicle at a central portion and a belt guiding member pivotally mounted at a central portion. The belt guiding member is rotatable between a backward fastening position near the passenger's waist and a forward releasing position away from the waist. The belt guiding member is connected to the door by a cable and is biased in the backward direction by a spring. The cable passes through a knee pad provided under an instrument panel and projects from an end portion of said knee pad adjacent to an inner panel of said door and being connected to the inner panel at an outer end of the cable. Thus, when the door is opened, the belt guiding member is moved to the forward releasing position so that the safety belt may be removed from the passenger's waist.Type: GrantFiled: June 10, 1980Date of Patent: February 15, 1983Assignee: Fuji Jukogyo Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Junichi Takizawa, Nobuo Satoh
