Patent number: 10965978Abstract: A recording device includes a tuner, a memory, and a controller. The tuner receives broadcast programs. The memory records the broadcast programs via a plurality of recording paths between the tuner and the memory. The controller uses at least two of the recording paths to record a plurality of consecutive broadcast programs on a predetermined channel in the memory. An output of the tuner is inputted to the at least two of the recording paths.Type: GrantFiled: February 13, 2017Date of Patent: March 30, 2021Assignee: FUNAI ELECTRIC CO., LTD.Inventors: Kazuki Hayashibara, Shojiro Fujimoto, Kentaro Takaki, Mitsuharu Osaki, Koji Fujita

Publication number: 20150373418Abstract: A reproduction device includes a connector that connects the reproduction device with an external display device; and a controller. The controller extracts first additional information. The first additional information is included in a content and satisfies a first condition from among additional information included in a plurality of contents recorded in a recording medium. The controller creates display data arranging, in a first direction, the first additional information, and the first condition associated with the first additional information. The controller transmits the display data to the external display device.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 23, 2015Publication date: December 24, 2015Applicant: FUNAI ELECTRIC CO., LTD.Inventor: Kentaro Takaki

Patent number: 9080502Abstract: An engine includes a variable valve mechanism capable of switching a valve characteristic to a first valve characteristic according to which at least one of an operation of pre-opening an intake valve during an exhaust stroke prior to a valve opening time in an intake stroke and an operation of re-opening an exhaust valve during the intake stroke subsequently to the opening/closing thereof during the exhaust stroke is performed, and to a second valve characteristic according to which neither the pre-opening of the intake valve nor the re-opening of the exhaust valve is performed. In the engine, when the valve characteristic is the first valve characteristic, if the presence of a request for switching to the second valve characteristic resulting from an increase in engine load is detected, a pressure reducing operation for reducing the pressure in an exhaust passage of the engine is performed.Type: GrantFiled: June 10, 2011Date of Patent: July 14, 2015Assignee: Mazda Motor CorporationInventors: Keiji Maruyama, Takayuki Yamaguchi, Kentaro Takaki, Yuji Matsuo, Toshiyuki Kojima, Hiroyuki Jinno

Publication number: 20130104540Abstract: An engine 1 includes a variable valve mechanism 18 capable of switching a valve characteristic to a first valve characteristic according to which at least one of an operation of pre-opening an intake valve 14 during an exhaust stroke prior to a valve opening time in an intake stroke and an operation of re-opening an exhaust valve 15 during the intake stroke subsequently to the opening/closing thereof during the exhaust stroke is performed, and to a second valve characteristic according to which neither the pre-opening of the intake valve 14 nor the re-opening of the exhaust valve 15 is performed. In the engine 1, when the valve characteristic is the first valve characteristic, if the presence of a request for switching to the second valve characteristic resulting from an increase in engine load is detected, a pressure reducing operation for reducing the pressure in an exhaust passage 40 of the engine 1 is performed (e.g., a regulate valve 68 is opened).Type: ApplicationFiled: June 10, 2011Publication date: May 2, 2013Applicant: MAZDA MOTOR CORPORATIONInventors: Keiji Maruyama, Takayuki Yamaguchi, Kentaro Takaki, Yuji Matsuo, Toshiyuki Kojima, Hiroyuki Jinno

Patent number: 8266545Abstract: A replay device includes a management means which manages all of the files stored upon a medium by separating them into first files and second files. And this replay device also includes an output means which creates and outputs a first menu screen upon which a list of the first files is shown, and a second menu screen upon which a list of the second files is shown, on the basis of the file management by the management means. Moreover, this replay device also includes a selection means which receives a selection of one of the first files to be replayed from the first menu screen, or receives a selection of one of the second files to be replayed from the second menu screen. And the replay device also includes a replay means which replays the first file or the second file which has been selected by the selection means.Type: GrantFiled: October 22, 2008Date of Patent: September 11, 2012Assignee: Funai Electric Co., Ltd.Inventor: Kentaro Takaki

Publication number: 20110107207Abstract: An optical disc apparatus comprising a GUI processor that displays an image indicating how a remote control has been operated by a user and an image indicating the type of a reproduction process started by a reproduction controller in accordance with an operation signal output from the remote control and a process signal output from the reproduction controller. When a user has operated the remote control, the GUI processor displays an image indicating how the remote control has been operated by the user in accordance with an operation signal output from the remote control. Subsequently, when the reproduction controller has started a reproduction process, the GUI processor displays an image indicating the type of the reproduction process started by the reproduction controller in accordance with a process signal output from the reproduction controller.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 22, 2010Publication date: May 5, 2011Inventor: Kentaro Takaki
