Patent number: 9855867Abstract: A vehicular seat slide device includes a lower rail, an upper rail supporting a seat above, a lock lever supported by the upper rail and configured to restrict the relative movement of the upper rail by engaging with the lower rail, a spring attached to the upper rail and biasing in such a manner that the lock lever engages with the lower rail. The spring includes a locking portion inserted in a locking hole provided at an upper edge of the upper rail and opening to a side surface of the upper rail, the locking portion is insertable into the locking hole by elastically deforming the spring body towards an inner side relative to the locking hole, the locking portion is restricted from being detached from the locking hole by being locked at a peripheral edge of the locking hole due to recovery of the elastic deformation.Type: GrantFiled: October 24, 2014Date of Patent: January 2, 2018Assignee: AISIN SEIKI KABUSHIKI KAISHAInventors: Takanori Satoh, Yasuhiro Kojima

Patent number: 9701218Abstract: In a case where an engagement member is assembled on an upper rail, a second rotary shaft portion is inserted to a shaft receiving bore of a first side wall portion from an inner side of an upper rail. After the insertion, the engagement member is rotated so that the second rotary shaft portion is inserted to the shaft receiving bore of the second side wall portion. At this time, because a shaft allowable length is specified to be greater than a shaft maximum rotation length, an interruption of an insertion of the rotary shaft portion because of a contact of the second rotary shaft portion with an edge portion of the shaft receiving bore at the second side wall portion is restrained.Type: GrantFiled: October 24, 2014Date of Patent: July 11, 2017Assignee: AISIN SEIKI KABUSHIKI KAISHAInventors: Takanori Satoh, Koji Kumagai, Makoto Sakai, Yasuhiro Kojima

Patent number: 9208908Abstract: A shroud support of a BWR includes a shroud support cylinder, shroud support legs welded to a bottom of a reactor pressure vessel (RPV) and a shroud support cylinder, and an annular shroud support plate disposed between the RPV and the shroud support cylinder and welded to the RPV and the shroud support cylinder. A support apparatus is set a CRD housings installed to the bottom of the RPV. A rail guide member horizontally set to the support apparatus reaches directly below the shroud support plate through an opening between the shroud support legs. A bent rail is set on the rail guide member. The bent rail setting a repair device is pushed out along the rail guide member toward the RPV through the opening portion by the rail push-out apparatus set on the support apparatus. The bent rail is spread at directly below the shroud support plate.Type: GrantFiled: January 30, 2013Date of Patent: December 8, 2015Assignee: Hitachi-GE Nuclear Energy, Ltd.Inventors: Shinya Ohmori, Koichi Kurosawa, Masaaki Tanaka, Takanori Satoh

Patent number: 7245557Abstract: A sonar emits an ultrasonic wave into the water from a transducer on the basis of a transmission signal outputted from a transmission circuit, receives an echo reflected in the water with the transducer and converts the echo into an electric signal, and displays underwater information on a display unit on the basis of an echo signal extracted by processing the electric signal. A tailing signal removing unit for removing a tailing signal and extracting only the echo signal is provided in the sonar such that a video of a surface layer fish shoal is clearly displayed on a screen of the display unit without being hidden by a video of the tailing signal.Type: GrantFiled: December 19, 2005Date of Patent: July 17, 2007Assignee: Furuno Electric Company LimitedInventors: Shinji Ishihara, Takanori Satoh, Mitsuhiro Inouchi, Osamu Kubota, Yuriko Onishi

Patent number: 7193930Abstract: A quantitative echo sounder includes delay circuits, phase correction circuits, an incidence angle calculator and a directivity correction unit. The delay circuits adjust transmission start timing or phases of acoustic waves radiated by individual vibrating elements based on pitch and roll angles measured by a motion sensing device so that the direction of an acoustic axis of a transmitting beam matches a sounding direction. The phase correction circuits adjust phases of received echo signals based on the pitch and roll angles so that the direction of an acoustic axis of a receiving beam matches the sounding direction. The incidence angle calculator calculates echo signal incidence angle with respect to the sounding direction from phase differences among receiving beam signals obtained by four vibrating element groups. The directivity correction unit corrects a measured target strength by using the echo signal incidence angle calculated by the incidence angle calculator.Type: GrantFiled: April 6, 2005Date of Patent: March 20, 2007Assignee: Furuno Electric Company, Ltd.Inventors: Takanori Satoh, Osamu Kubota, Katsuhisa Yamamoto, Satoshi Misonoo, Youhei Kinoshita, Yuriko Onishi, Hiroyuki Toda
