Publication number: 20090290336Abstract: A light shielding mask 24 opposing to an entrance surface of a fly eye lens 23 is provided, and a transparent portion 25 is made open corresponding to each of lens portions 23b, respectively. Each transparent portion 25 is divided to be formed into a first transparent portion 25a allowing light for forming a projected image 101a on an upper stage of an illuminated surface 100a to enter the lens portions 23b and a second transparent portion 25b allowing light for forming a projected image 101b on an lower stage of the illuminated surface 100b to enter the lens portions 23b, and these are individually set, thereby a difference between an irradiation distance to each of the illuminated surface 100a, 100b due to a step can be complemented, individually.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 6, 2005Publication date: November 26, 2009Applicant: HARISON TOSHIBA LIGHTING CORP.Inventors: Shigeru Senzaki, Toshiyuki Arai, Yuuji Wagatsuma, Hideo Inoue, Yoshiaki Matsuba

Patent number: 7532419Abstract: High-rate writing of data recorded on a CD into a hard disk drive (HDD) is performed while reproducing data read out of the CD at the standard bit rate prescribed for the CD. PCM data corresponding to a playback time of 10 seconds, for example, is read out of a CD and stored in a memory. The data is read out of the memory at appropriate timing and outputted after being converted into an analog audio signal by a D/A converter. In parallel, data for writing is read out of the CD in succession to reading of the data for playback and stored in the memory. The data read out of the memory is coded and compressed by an encoder and then stored in the memory. The compressed data is read out of the memory in units of a certain amount suitable for writing in an HDD and then written in the HDD.Type: GrantFiled: November 4, 2005Date of Patent: May 12, 2009Assignee: Sony CorporationInventors: Toshiyuki Arai, Takashi Kumagai, Hajime Inai, Hiroaki Sato, Fumitake Yodo, Masami Oyama

Publication number: 20090052182Abstract: There is provided a lighting system simple in configuration and capable of irradiating an irradiation image with less distortion onto an irradiation surface. For this reason, light shielding masks 24 causing light from an LED 12 to be incident on lens units 23b are arranged oppositely to a fly-eye lens 23. The opening shape of a light shielding unit 24b arranged on the light shielding mask 24 is set according to the state where the fly-eye lens 23 opposes an irradiation surface 100, and the light shielding unit 24b prohibits light in a range distorting the shape of an irradiation image on the irradiation surface 100 from being incident on the lens units 23b.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 20, 2006Publication date: February 26, 2009Inventors: Yoshiaki Matsuba, Yuji Wagatsuma, Hideo Inoue, Shigeru Senzaki, Toshiyuki Arai

Patent number: 7389271Abstract: An information processing apparatus in which main information is stored in a first storage unit and subinformation associated with the main information is stored in a second storage unit. The user selects the sub-information to retrieve the corresponding main information that is then transmitted to the user and the user is billed for the transmitted main information. In some instances the billing amount can be reduced.Type: GrantFiled: March 21, 2002Date of Patent: June 17, 2008Assignee: Sony CorporationInventor: Toshiyuki Arai

Publication number: 20070038760Abstract: An information processing apparatus having a receiver, a user identifier generator, a generation source identifier memory, and a transmitter. The receiver receives a request transmitted from a terminal device. The user identifier generator generates a user identifier corresponding to the request. The generation source identifier memory stores a generation source identifier to identify a generation source of the user identifier. The transmitter transmits the generated user identifier and the stored generation source identifier to the terminal device.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 24, 2006Publication date: February 15, 2007Applicant: Sony CorporationInventor: Toshiyuki Arai

PCM data corresponding to a playback time of 10 seconds, for example, is read out of a CD and stored in a memory for subsequent read out. In parallel, data for writing is read out of the CD and stored in the memory. The data read out of the memory is coded and compressed by an encoder and then stored back in the memory. When the data stored in the memory for playback has become smaller than a predetermined amount, an interrupt is generated during the writing process with the processing, which is given top priority, so that a next set of playback data is read out of the CD and stored in the memory.Type: GrantFiled: October 27, 2000Date of Patent: October 24, 2006Assignee: Sony CorporationInventors: Toshiyuki Arai, Takashi Kumagai, Hajime Inai, Hiroaki Sato, Fumitake Yodo, Masami Oyama
