Publication number: 20130295811Abstract: Provided are: a carbon fiber bundle which has a large value of single-fiber fineness and excellent productivity and which, despite this, contains few interlaced single fibers therein and has excellent spreadability; and precursor fibers which are suitable for use in producing the carbon fiber bundle. The precursor fibers are a carbon-fiber-precursor acrylic fiber bundle which comprises a polyacrylonitrile copolymer comprising 95-99 mol % acrylonitrile units and 1-5 mol % hydroxyalkyl (meth)acrylate units and which has a single-fiber fineness of 1.5-5.0 dtex. In the acrylic fiber bundle, the cross-section of each single fiber which is perpendicular to the fiber axis has a shape that has a roundness of 0.9 or less.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 13, 2011Publication date: November 7, 2013Applicant: MITSUBISHI RAYON CO., LTD.Inventors: Yuusuke Shinmen, Norifumi Hirota, Atsushi Nakajima, Naoki Aoyama, Naomasa Matsuyama, Takeshi Nii, Akiyoshi Kogame, Yasuyuki Fujii, Yoshiko Irie, Harumi Matsuda, Takayuki Kiriyama, Teppei Miura, Takuya Teranishi, Shouhei Mori, Manabu Kaneko, Kiharu Numata, Masahiro Ichino, Shigekazu Takeda, Takayuki Kobayashi, Toshiyuki Itou, Masahiro Hata, Hiroyuki Nakao, Kenichi Watanabe

Publication number: 20130284487Abstract: A shield conductor is provided with electrical wires and a metal pipe that encloses the electrical wires and whose outer peripheral surface is covered with an orange (color other than a metallic color) resin layer. The pipe is routed so that at least a portion passes in proximity to an exhaust pipe of a vehicle. A section of the pipe passing in proximity to the exhaust pipe that faces the exhaust pipe does not have the resin layer and the metallic-colored outer peripheral surface of the section remains exposed.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 28, 2012Publication date: October 31, 2013Applicants: AUTONETWORKS TECHNOLOGIES, LTD., SUMITOMO ELECTRIC INDUSTRIES, LTD., SUMITOMO WIRING SYSTEMS, LTD.Inventors: Katsutoshi Izawa, Masanori Kuwahara, Sonoda Fujio, Yasushi Itani, Yoshinori Sugimoto, Naoki Aoyama

Publication number: 20130269972Abstract: A shield conductor includes a pipe made of metal and an electric wire. The electric wire is passed through the pipe. The pipe includes a first deformed portion and a second deformed portion. The first deformed portion has a first short diameter portion and a first long diameter portion having different outer diameters in a peripheral direction of the pipe. The second deformed portion is in a different position from the first deformed portion in an extension direction in which the pipe extends and includes a second short diameter portion and a second long diameter portion having different outer diameters in the peripheral direction. The first and the second short diameter portions are provided in different positions in the peripheral direction. The first and the second long diameter portions are provided in different positions in the peripheral direction.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 21, 2011Publication date: October 17, 2013Applicants: AUTONETWORKS TECHNOLOGIES, LTD., SUMITOMO ELECTRIC INDUSTRIES, LTD., SUMITOMO WIRING SYSTEMS, LTD.Inventors: Naoki Aoyama, Masanori Kuwahara, Fujio Sonoda, Yasushi Itani, Yoshinori Sugimoto, Katsutoshi Izawa

Publication number: 20130248038Abstract: A shield conductor includes a pipe made of metal and an electric wire passed through the pipe. The pipe includes a round portion and a deformed portion. The round portion has a constant outer diameter in a peripheral direction of the pipe and curves in an extension direction in which the pipe extends. The deformed portion is in a different position from the round portion in the extension direction and has a short diameter portion and a long diameter portion having different outer diameters in the peripheral direction of the pipe.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 21, 2011Publication date: September 26, 2013Applicants: AUTONETWORKS TECHNOLOGIES, LTD., SUMITOMO ELECTRIC INDUSTRIES, LTD., SUMITOMO WIRING SYSTEMS, LTD.Inventors: Naoki Aoyama, Masanori Kuwahara, Fujio Sonoda, Yasushi Itani, Yoshinori Sugimoto, Katsutoshi Izawa

Publication number: 20120050379Abstract: Increases in print suspend time or the time required to print because of remaining ink detection operations even when there is a sufficient amount of remaining ink are prevented. At least one ink tank is monitored to determine if the remaining ink is less than a given amount, and when an ink tank whose remaining ink is less than a given amount is detected, printing is suspended and it is determined which ink tank has ink less than a given amount.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 26, 2011Publication date: March 1, 2012Applicant: CANON KABUSHIKI KAISHAInventor: Naoki Aoyama

Patent number: 7766539Abstract: A liner material supply apparatus by which the weight ratio between a first feedstock liquid and a second feedstock liquid to be fed to static mixers (40, 42) is maintained sufficiently precisely. A heater for bring the temperature of the first feedstock liquid, which is fed from a first accommodation tank (26) to the static mixers through a first feeding pump (22), and the temperature of the second feedstock liquid, which is fed from a second accommodation tank (28) to the static mixers through a second feeding pump (24), to predetermined temperatures are annexed, at least, to the first feeding pump and the second feeding pump. Liner material acceptance unit (10) is disposed which is selectively located at an operating position where the liner material acceptance unit accepts a liner material discharged from discharge unit (18), and a non-operating position where the liner material acceptance unit does not interfere with the liner material discharged from the discharge unit.Type: GrantFiled: March 22, 2006Date of Patent: August 3, 2010Assignee: Japan Crown Cork Co., Ltd.Inventors: Naoki Aoyama, Junichi Miyo, Takuya Oyamada, Susumu Hisanaga, Katsuhiro Muramoto

Publication number: 20090318657Abstract: A sealing gasket for closure, made of a polyurethane elastomer obtained by reacting the following (A), (B) and (C): (A) a polyisocyanate component having an isocyanate group content of 5 to 38% by weight and average 2 to 3 functional groups, obtained by modifying an aliphatic isocyanate and/or an alicyclic isocyanate, (B) a polyol component having a hydroxyl value of 20 to 350 mgKOH/g and average 2 to 3 functional groups, and (C) a glycerin fatty acid ester having hydroxyl group(s); and a process for producing a closure using such a sealing gasket. The closure sealing gasket made of a polyurethane elastomer, obtained by the present invention, when used for a closure (e.g. a metal closure of a food container having good sealing properties), is little eluted, is less in swelling with an alcoholic beverage and less in the absorption of the odor of the alcoholic beverage into the closure sealing gasket, and is tough, and causes no yellowing.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 14, 2005Publication date: December 24, 2009Applicants: Toyo Seikan Kaisha, Ltd, Japan Crown Cork Co., Ltd, Nippon Polyuerthane Industry Co., LtdInventors: Toshinori Moriga, Naoki Aoyama, Hiroei Yokota

Patent number: 7398331Abstract: A peripheral apparatus reserves and stores, on a nonvolatile storage medium, a first storage area which stores a control program for implementing a function of the peripheral apparatus, and a second storage area which stores a rewrite program for rewriting the control program. The firmware is formed from at least the control program and the rewrite program. When selectively switching and controlling a first mode for updating the firmware of the rewrite program, and a second mode for executing the control program, the first mode receives updating data of the control program from an external apparatus, rewrites the control program stored in the first storage area to updating data, using the rewrite program, determines that a rewrite operation is normally ended, and performs the rewrite operation again when the rewrite operation is not normally ended.Type: GrantFiled: July 28, 2004Date of Patent: July 8, 2008Assignee: Canon Kabushiki KaishaInventor: Naoki Aoyama
