Publication number: 20150206512Abstract: An information display apparatus includes an operation section, a content-related operation log acquisition section, a display section, and a controller. The operation section performs a content-related operation related to each of a plurality of types of content. The acquisition section acquires a content-related operation log as associated with each content for which the content-related operation is being performed and with a type of each content. The operation log includes a move log having position information on a position of the information display apparatus and time information on time during performance of the content-related operation. The display section displays map information based on the position information and an icon on the displayed map information based on the operation log. The icon represents the type of each content. The controller controls the operation section to perform the content-related operation related to each content when an instruction is given to the displayed icon.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 1, 2015Publication date: July 23, 2015Applicant: JVC KENWOOD CORPORATIONInventor: Koji KUGA

Patent number: 8757090Abstract: In a plasma processing apparatus for generating a plasma in a plasma generation space between a lower electrode and an upper electrode so that a processing object mounted on the lower electrode is subjected to plasma processing, a plurality of cutout portions for absorption of strain caused by thermal expansion due to rapid temperature increases in the plasma processing are formed at an equal pitch in an outer edge portion of a gas shower plate included in the upper electrode. Thus, the gas shower plate can be prevented from being damaged by occurrence of cracks in the outer edge portion of the gas shower plate or the like.Type: GrantFiled: April 4, 2006Date of Patent: June 24, 2014Assignee: Panasonic CorporationInventors: Kiyoshi Arita, Akira Nakagawa, Koji Kuga, Taiji Matano, Nobuhiro Sato

Publication number: 20120033765Abstract: A reception device provided with a broadcast reception unit which receives a broadcast at an instructed frequency, reproduces the broadcast, and outputs the result (steps 404, 413, 417, 418, 420, 421); a signal level judgment unit which judges whether the signal level of the broadcast is a predetermined value or higher (steps 414 to 416); and a content reception unit which receives content distributed by a predetermined network, reproduces the content, and outputs the result, said content being permitted to be viewed under the condition that the signal level of the broadcast is a predetermined value or higher (steps 405 to 412, 422 to 424); wherein, after a reception frequency has been instructed (step 404), the content reception unit performs the processing necessary for receiving and outputting content (steps 405 to 412), in parallel to the period until judgment of the signal level has been made (step 416). This reception device improves the user-friendliness of broadcast receivers.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 25, 2010Publication date: February 9, 2012Applicant: JVC KENWOOD CORPORATIONInventors: Koji Kuga, Hiroyuki Hattori, Kunihiro Suga

Publication number: 20120023538Abstract: A selected station is identified from the current position and the reception frequency of that selected station (S54), and if that selected station performs internet broadcasts (S55 YES), the internet broadcast is received (S64) and that program is outputted (S65 to S67), whereas if that station does not perform internet broadcasts (S55 NO), an airwave is received and outputted (S68 to 69). Disclosed are a broadcasting receiver, control method, and program which enable a broadcasting receiver (21), used for airwave broadcasts and IP broadcasts, to be able to effectively output both broadcasts.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 25, 2010Publication date: January 26, 2012Applicant: JVC KENWOOD CORPORATIONInventors: Hiroyuki Hattori, Koji Kuga, Kunihiro Suga, Yoshihito Kinoshita

Patent number: 7016758Abstract: A machining program transmission system 1 has a control device of an NC machine tool 10, a transmission device 20 and a terminal device 40 are connected via an electrical communication line 2. The terminal device 40 reads an identification information 31 of a machining program, the identification information being attached to a medium 32. The terminal device 40 also reads an identification information 18 of the NC machine tool 10, the identification information being attached to the NC machine tool 10 for carrying out the machining. The terminal device 40 transmits the information to the transmission device 20. The transmission device 20 transmits the machining program corresponding to the program identification information 31 to the NC machine tool 10 corresponding to the machine identification information 18. The control device of the NC machine tool 10 receives and stores the machining program.Type: GrantFiled: November 15, 2004Date of Patent: March 21, 2006Assignees: Nichidai Corporation, Mori Seiki Co., Ltd.Inventors: Hiromi Onoue, Koji Kuga, Masahiro Komatsu

Patent number: 5482904Abstract: The present invention is intended to provide a heat-insulating refractory material, which does not contain environmentally and hygienically undesirable ceramic heat-insulating fibers, but only contains organic fibers to the extent necessary to improve adhesive rate upon spraying, and which can nevertheless achieve a specified heat-insulating effect. The heat-insulating refractory material includes a mixture containing 2-50 wt % of a foaming raw material foamed by heat at a temperature from 400.degree. to 1500.degree. C. and 50-98 wt % of a refractory powder, and a liquid binder which is added to the mixture in an amount of 20-250 wt % on the basis of the weight of the mixture.Type: GrantFiled: October 31, 1994Date of Patent: January 9, 1996Assignee: Krosaki CorporationInventors: Hideaki Kawabe, Shozou Hagiwara, Koji Kuga, Setsunori Hamaguchi
