Patent number: 10921767Abstract: According to an embodiment, an encoder system includes an encoder and an interface. The encoder detects the position and speed of a motor, and generates A-, B- and Z-phase signals. The interface includes an AB waveform recognition circuitry to recognize a waveform of an AB phase, a Z waveform recognition circuitry to recognize a period of an enable state of a Z phase, a starting point storage device to store a value of the AB phase when the Z phase changes and stores an AB-phase change pattern, a starting point recognition circuitry to generate an interrupt signal, and a rotation angle counter to start a new count of the rotation angle of the motor.Type: GrantFiled: August 12, 2019Date of Patent: February 16, 2021Assignees: Kabushiki Kaisha Toshiba, Toshiba Electronic Devices & Storage CorporationInventors: Akihiro Kobayashi, Makoto Kanda, Shigeru Itoh, Hiroshi Nishikawa, Wataru Furuichi, Kiyoshige Taga, Kazuma Takeda

Patent number: 10789144Abstract: According to one embodiment, a supervisory circuit includes a trigger determination circuit and a trigger table. The trigger determination circuit receives signal processing signals outputted from a plurality of signal processing circuits as trigger signals, determines whether processing operations by the signal processing circuits are executed in a predetermined order, and outputs an interrupt signal when detecting a trigger signal out of setting. The trigger table is provided with trigger-specific tables corresponding to the respective signal processing circuits, reads a trigger setting to occur next based on a trigger determined as being correct by the trigger determination circuit, and outputs a table read signal to the trigger determination circuit.Type: GrantFiled: August 31, 2018Date of Patent: September 29, 2020Assignees: Kabushiki Kaisha Toshiba, Toshiba Electronic Devices & Storage CorporationInventors: Akihiro Kobayashi, Makoto Kanda, Shigeru Itoh, Hiroshi Nishikawa, Wataru Furuichi, Kiyoshige Taga, Itsuro Nomura

Patent number: 8507024Abstract: A method of treating food capable of easily softening or pulverizing food in a short time without losing nutrients is provided. A shock wave (SW) generated in a shock wave source is applied to food such as an apple or tea leaves to soften or pulverize the food. A large mechanical load is not necessary, so the food is easily softened or pulverized. Moreover, it is not necessary to heat the food, so the food is softened or pulverized in a short time without losing nutrients in the food due to heat during heating.Type: GrantFiled: May 24, 2011Date of Patent: August 13, 2013Assignee: National University Corporation Kumamoto UniversityInventor: Shigeru Itoh

Patent number: 5217350Abstract: A cylindrical support portion is provided on a wafer pump case to surround a rotary shaft, and a cylindrically formed power transmitting rotary wheel surrounding the support portion is integrally coupled to an outer end of the rotary shaft which protrudes outwardly from the support portion. A bearing means is interposed between an inner surface of the power transmitting rotary wheel and an outer surface of the support portion. A plurality of sealing members disposed concentrically with the bearing means are interposed between the rotary shaft and an inner surface of the cylindrical support portion at a location axially outwardly spaced from the mechanical seal, and a grease is filled between the sealing members. The water pump structure not only improves the sealing property of the sealing members by providing the sealing members at a location in which the deflection of the rotary shaft is smallest, but also increases the retaining property for the grease between the plurality of sealing members.Type: GrantFiled: December 23, 1991Date of Patent: June 8, 1993Assignee: Honda Giken Kogyo Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Kenji Kimura, Kiyoshi Miyazaki, Toshihide Matsunaga, Shoji Isobe, Shigeru Itoh, Naokazu Kawase, Tsutomu Kishi

Patent number: 4530724Abstract: The color of azo pigments derived from 2-hydroxynaphthalene-3-carboxylic acid or its salts are improved by the coupling reaction of a diazonium compound of an aromatic aminosulfonic acid with a coupling component which is a mixture of (1) 2-hydroxynaphthalene-3-carboxylic acid or its salt, (2) .beta.-naphthol or its salt, and (3) a phenolic by-product having a molecular weight of about 300 and containing about 1 equivalent of phenolic hydroxy groups. The phenolic by-product can be obtained by evaporating .beta.-naphthol from a tarry substance formed as a by-product during the reaction of an alkali .beta.-naphtholate with carbon dioxide, extracting the residue with an alkali and precipitating the soluble matter with an acid. The color or tone of the azo pigment is stabilized by the use of the coupling component.Type: GrantFiled: September 1, 1982Date of Patent: July 23, 1985Assignee: Kabushiki Kaisha Ueno Seiyaku Uno KenkyujoInventors: Ryuzo Ueno, Hiroaki Tsuchiya, Shigeru Itoh
