Patent number: 7616531Abstract: In an integrated optical unit of the present invention, a photo detector (12) and a holding member (17) that sustains a semiconductor laser (11) are provided on a polarizing beam splitter (14). This makes it possible to reduce a deviation from a designed value due to tolerance, and adjust a relative positional relationship between the semiconductor laser (11) and the photo detector (12). Therefore, returned light from an optical disk (4) is accurately adjusted with respect to a division line of a photo-detecting device (13). As a result, stable servo-control is realized, and an information signal with fine quality is obtained.Type: GrantFiled: August 23, 2006Date of Patent: November 10, 2009Assignee: Sharp Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Makoto Horiyama, Masaru Ogawa

Patent number: 6756726Abstract: In a semi-toroidal deflection yoke, a middle point CL(M) of an entire length along a tube axis from a large-diameter portion to a small-diameter portion of a magnetic core lies on a small-diameter portion side of a horizontal deflection coil relative to a point lying at a distance of 0.41×HL along the tube axis from a large-diameter portion of the horizontal deflection coil, where HL is an entire length of the horizontal deflection coil along the tube axis. The deflection yoke deflects electron beams efficiently, reducing the deflection electric power the deflection yoke requires. A cathode ray tube provided with the deflection yoke can suppress pincushion type distortion which may occur in the vertical direction of a screen, and can therefore display images of satisfactory quality.Type: GrantFiled: June 20, 2003Date of Patent: June 29, 2004Assignee: Kabushiki Kaisha ToshibaInventors: Masaru Ogawa, Sadami Sekiguchi, Tadahiro Kojima, Takashi Murai

Patent number: 5900836Abstract: A control portion performs gyro control at control intervals of .DELTA.t, by using -.omega.G, which is obtained by inverting the polarity of an angular rate .omega.G outputted from an angular rate sensor portion. On the other hand, a receiving level is detected at constant control intervals of .DELTA.T (=M.DELTA.t: M is an integer). The rotation of an antenna portion is controlled by using .omega.s, if the receiving level has increased, or by using -.omega.s, if the receiving level has decreased, i.e. by step track control. By accumulating the control amount .+-..omega.s for a predetermined long time period of N.DELTA.T, accumulation of an error contained in each angular rate .omega.G is obtained. The accumulated value is then divided by N to calculate an error .DELTA..omega.G contained in .omega.G. This error .DELTA..omega.G is used to compensate the actual error, so that the gyro control can be made more accurate.Type: GrantFiled: March 27, 1996Date of Patent: May 4, 1999Assignee: Kabushiki Kaisha Toyota Chuo KenkyushoInventors: Kunitoshi Nishikawa, Tomohisa Harada, Toshiaki Watanabe, Masaru Ogawa
