Patent number: 8746686Abstract: When a first elapse time ?t3 from time point t1 of stop of a transport motor reaches a first specified time S1, a registration roller electromagnetic clutch is engaged. At time point t2 at which the first elapse time ?t3 reaches 50 ms, normal rotation of the transport motor is started. At time point t3 at which a second elapse time ?t4 from the time point t2 reaches a second specified time S2 (a given length of time), a reverse roller electromagnetic clutch is switched from an engaged state to a disengaged state, rendering reverse rollers and sheet discharge rollers freely rotatable. At subsequent time point t4, a coil of a solenoid is de-energized, to separate the reverse rollers from each other.Type: GrantFiled: September 11, 2012Date of Patent: June 10, 2014Assignee: Sharp Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Masato Tamehira, Yasumasa Morimoto, Kenji Kuroda

Patent number: 5940206Abstract: An optical parametric diffuser is provided with an optical mixer which receives inputs of a probe light of a wavelength .lambda..sub.1 and a pumping light of a wavelength .lambda..sub.2, multiplexes them, and generates an output signal light including a wavelength .lambda..sub.5 which is apart from the pumping light wavelength on the opposite side of the probe light wavelength by n.DELTA..lambda. (.DELTA..lambda.=.vertline..lambda..sub.1 -.lambda..sub.2 .vertline., n.gtoreq.2). The signal of a wavelength .lambda..sub.5 is then extracted by a band-pass filter. The optical mixer is made to have a peak in output signal generation efficiency at the wavelength .lambda..sub.5 so that an output light beam of the wavelength .lambda..sub.5 can be obtained from the probe light and the pumping light.Type: GrantFiled: March 7, 1997Date of Patent: August 17, 1999Assignee: Teratec CorporationInventors: Kenji Kuroda, Hideki Takakura

Patent number: 5687083Abstract: A voice expression selection processing section recognizes a route from data from a route memory. When a vehicle has reached a junction, it is judged whether or not a curved road is present at the junction on the basis of connecting road number data from a junction data storage section, connecting angle data and connecting road width data. The content of the voice expression is changed in accordance with a case where the curved road is present or another case where the curved road is absent. Particularly, when the curved road is present, the direction of this curved road is added as a base of the voice expression. Therefore, the voice expression which matches with the feeling of a driver can be carried out to achieve suitable car guidance.Type: GrantFiled: January 24, 1997Date of Patent: November 11, 1997Assignee: Aisin AW Co.Inventors: Hiroshi Kishi, Toru Ito, Kyomi Morimoto, Shoji Yokoyama, Kenji Kuroda

Patent number: 5475599Abstract: In a vehicle navigation system, when a voice control part, which is displayed on a screen, is switched off, a voice control part inhibits voice guidance from being output to a speaker. Now, if a current-location/guide selection key is operated, the voice control part creates voice guidance according to the operation of the selection key and outputs the voice guidance from the speaker. With this navigation system, aural route guidance is possible only at the driver's request.Type: GrantFiled: June 13, 1994Date of Patent: December 12, 1995Assignee: Aisin AW Co., Ltd.Inventors: Shoji Yokoyama, Kyomi Morimoto, Akimasa Nanba, Kiyohide Katoh, Kenji Kuroda, Hiroshi Kishi, Toru Ito

Patent number: 5452217Abstract: A vehicle route guidance system includes a map information storage section 10 which has a road type storage section 10a for storing various types of roads such as toll roads, express highways and motorways. A route guidance control section 26 reads out map information including road type information and route information. A road type change point detecting section 26a detects a road type change point. The route guidance control section 26 causes a display 28 and a voice controller 30 to perform the route guidance when a vehicle approaches a point a given distance short of the road type change point. The voice controller 30 responds to the instruction from the route guidance control section 26 to announce the route guidance for informing the driver of the entry to a toll road, express highway or motorway.Type: GrantFiled: July 19, 1993Date of Patent: September 19, 1995Assignee: Aisin AW Co., Ltd.Inventors: Hiroshi Kishi, Toru Ito, Kyomi Morimoto, Shoji Yokoyama, Kenji Kuroda, Kiyohide Katoh, Masanari Yamamoto

Patent number: 5410486Abstract: A vehicle navigation system for orally issuing route guidance, capable of changing a point at which the route guidance is issued depending on the moving situation of a vehicle. The moving situation is at least one of a number of lanes in a road being traveled, a width of a crossroad intersecting the road being traveled and a speed of the vehicle. The moving situation is detected by a moving situation detector section and based on the detected moving situation, the route guidance issuing point is changed to the optimum point for the moving situation at that time by a guidance issuing point changer of a route guide controller.Type: GrantFiled: July 19, 1993Date of Patent: April 25, 1995Assignees: Toyota Jidosha K.K., Aisin Aw Co.

Patent number: 5083289Abstract: A temperature reference jacket includes an optical absorber for executing calorimetric measurement of optical power to be measured, a heater, a cooler, and a temperature sensor. The monitor monitors the optical power to be measured. A shutter selectively transmists/shields the optical power to be measured with respect to the optical absorber. A memory stores a first control amount for the cooler corresponding to the optical power to be measured and second and third control amounts for the heater in advance. A controller controls opening/closing of the shutter, reads out the first and second control amounts from the memory in accordance with the monitoring result from the monitor while the shutter is closed, and reading out the first and third control amounts from the memory while the shutter is open. The controller finely adjusts a voltage for the heater so that the temperature reference jacket and the optical absorber are set in an isothermal state while the shutter is closed and open, respectively.Type: GrantFiled: January 29, 1990Date of Patent: January 21, 1992Assignee: Anritsu CorporationInventors: Kenji Kuroda, Koki Sasaki
