Patent number: 8671986Abstract: A pair of supply/drain pipes continuous with an actuator are respectively communicable with a pair of oil sumps respectively through an intermediation of a pair of extended paths. The pair of oil sumps is formed in a switch-spool insertion hole and enter a neutral state or a state of being selectively communicated with any one of respective pressure-oil paths and respective oil-return paths. A non-leak valve is provided over respective connection portions and between the pair of supply/drain pipes and the pair of extended paths. The non-leak valve is opened when an operation of a pump is started, is maintained to be opened during the operation of the pump, and is closed when the pump is out of operation.Type: GrantFiled: April 1, 2008Date of Patent: March 18, 2014Assignee: Sanyo Kiki Co., Ltd.Inventors: Masahiro Tanino, Manabu Ogo, Naoki Kumazawa

Video processing apparatus for converting composite video signals to digital component video signals
Patent number: 6947096Abstract: A chroma-decoder 1 has two SRCs 17 and 21. The first SRC 17 performs down-conversion, changing the sampling rate of a composite video signal sampled with a system clock signal Cs to the sampling rate (14.3 MHz) of an NTSC signal. The signal generated by the SRC 17 is output in synchronism with the system clock signal Cs. The signal is then divided into a luminance signal Y and a color-difference signal C, which are subjected to chroma decoding. The second SRC 21 performs down-conversion, changing the sampling rate of the luminance signal and color-difference signal of the NTSC signal to the sampling rate (13.5 MHz) of an ITU-R601 standard.Type: GrantFiled: June 26, 2002Date of Patent: September 20, 2005Assignee: Sony CorporationInventor: Naoki Kumazawa -
