Patent number: 8467707Abstract: An image forming agent storage unit includes a body portion and a pair of a protrusion portion. The body portion extends in an insertion direction in which the image forming agent storage unit is inserted into an image forming apparatus. The pair of a protrusion portion is disposed on an outer face of the body portion and extends along the insertion direction. An approximate geometrical center of gravity of a cross-sectional shape of the body portion is disposed between the pair of the protrusion portion. One of the protrusion portions is disposed on an upper right angle position between an upper portion of the body portion and a right portion of the body portion and the other of the protrusion portions is disposed on a lower left angle position between a lower portion of the body portion and a left portion of the body portion.Type: GrantFiled: June 11, 2010Date of Patent: June 18, 2013Assignee: Fuji Xerox Co., Ltd.Inventors: Toshio Takiguchi, Kazuaki Sugawara

Patent number: 8229331Abstract: An image forming agent storage unit includes a body portion, grip portion, a movement preventing member. The body portion exists to extend in a direction in which the image forming agent storage unit is mounted in an image forming apparatus. The grip portion is disposed on an operator's side of the body portion in the direction in which the image forming agent storage unit is mounted in the image forming apparatus, so that the grip portion can be gripped by a hand. The movement preventing member is disposed in a top portion of the grip portion. The movement preventing member is caught on the image forming apparatus. And, the movement preventing member prevents the image forming agent storage unit mounted in the image forming apparatus from moving in a direction in which the image forming agent storage unit is pulled out.Type: GrantFiled: June 11, 2010Date of Patent: July 24, 2012Assignee: Fuji Xerox Co., Ltd.Inventors: Toshio Takiguchi, Kazuaki Sugawara

Patent number: 7949288Abstract: An image forming agent storage device includes an image forming agent storage body that is inserted into an insertion part, an opening-and-closing member, an engagement mechanism and an engagement release prevention mechanism. The image forming agent storage body is formed with a discharge port. The engagement mechanism includes an engagement part being provided in the image forming agent storage body and an engaged part being provided in the opening-and-closing member and being capable of engaging with the engagement part. The engagement release prevention mechanism prevents that a state where the engagement part and the engaged part can engage with each other is released due to an event that a front side of the opening-and-closing member moves relative to the image forming agent storage body so as to slant in a direction away from a position where the engagement part and the engaged part are provided.Type: GrantFiled: October 27, 2009Date of Patent: May 24, 2011Assignee: Fuji Xerox Co., Ltd.Inventors: Toshio Takiguchi, Shigeki Nishimura, Kazuaki Sugawara

Patent number: 5652822Abstract: A video signal recording and reproducing apparatus replaces at least one of a group of a predetermined number of frames of a main signal from one video camera to a sub signal frame from another video camera on the same time base as that of the main signal and records, and upon reproduction, executes the recording video signal by an ordinary reproducing process and reproduces and displays the main signal and still reproduces the intermittent sub signal frames, thereby reproducing the sub signal like a frame sending. The recording and reproducing apparatus sets one of the video signals which are obtained from two or more video cameras into the main signal and sets the other remaining video signals into the sub signals and records those main and sub signals and conveniently distributes those signals and reproduces.Type: GrantFiled: December 21, 1995Date of Patent: July 29, 1997Assignee: Pioneer Electronic CorporationInventors: Kazuaki Sugawara, Hideo Ito, Yoshio Koizumi

Patent number: 5509078Abstract: An operational amplifier is applied with an audio signal at a non-inverting terminal thereof for amplifying the audio signal. A crosstalk cancelling circuit is provided for reducing the output of the operational amplifier to a level of crosstalk generated at the non-inverting terminal. The output of the crosstalk cancelling circuit is applied to an inverting terminal of the operational amplifier so as to cancel the crosstalk.Type: GrantFiled: January 21, 1993Date of Patent: April 16, 1996Assignee: Pioneer Electronic CorporationInventors: Haruo Hiraoka, Kazuaki Sugawara
