Publication number: 20240116429Abstract: To improve pedestrian visibility. Provided is a headlight controller connectable to a first headlight and a second headlight spaced apart in a vehicle width direction at the front of the vehicle, the headlight controller including: a rainfall amount detection means installed in the vehicle; and a controller installed in the vehicle, where the controller is connected to the rainfall amount detection means, and the controller carries out control such that when rainfall amount detected by the rainfall amount detection means is equal to or more than a predetermined value, irradiation light from the first headlight becomes relatively darker than irradiation light from the second headlight.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 13, 2021Publication date: April 11, 2024Applicant: Stanley Electric Co., Ltd.Inventors: Wataru NAKASHIMA, Yasushi KITA, Takako KIMURA, Shuto OYAMA, Kouki KUDO, Akihisa KUMAKURA

Patent number: 7893373Abstract: An electroluminescent apparatus includes a protection layer characterized by two or more non-overlapping regions and a back electrode layer which includes two or more back electrode regions. Each of the back electrode regions overlies a corresponding one of the non-overlapping regions in the protection layer. A bottom insulation layer includes two or more bottom insulation regions, each of which overlying a corresponding one of the back electrode regions. The apparatus includes two or more electroluminescent segments, each of which overlying a corresponding one of the back electrode layers. A transparent electrode layer includes two or more transparent electrode regions, each overlying a corresponding one of electroluminescent segments.Type: GrantFiled: June 25, 2008Date of Patent: February 22, 2011Assignee: Minebea Co., Ltd.Inventors: Toshisada Takeda, Wataru Kudo

Publication number: 20090211888Abstract: A keyboard apparatus includes a housing which includes a plurality of key pads spatially disposed within the housing, each of the key pads being depressible upon touch by a user, the plurality of key pads being distributed in a plurality of non-overlapping keyboard regions. Each of the non-overlapping regions includes fewer than all of the plurality of keypads. An optically transparent circuit board is coupled to a backside of each of the key pads. In a specific embodiment, a plurality of electroluminescent segments are arranged in a non-planar configuration. Each of the plurality of electroluminescent segments includes one of a corresponding plurality of power supply devices. Each of the plurality of electroluminescent segments provides electromagnetic radiation to a respective non-overlapping keyboard region for lighting key pads in the respective non-overlapping keyboard region. Each of the non-overlapping regions includes fewer than all of the plurality of keypads.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 3, 2008Publication date: August 27, 2009Applicant: MINEBEA CO., LTD.Inventors: Toshisada Takeda, Wataru Kudo

Patent number: 7134256Abstract: The present invention provides a packaging system that includes a beak-shaped hopper, a pair of opening and closing bars, and a sensor for sensing a limitless opening and closing movement of the opening and closing bars. The beak-shaped hopper and the pair of opening and closing bars are operable to move in unison back and forth along a main travel path. The main travel path leads to a rotary vacuum packaging device having a pressure resistant chamber. The beak-shaped hopper is dimensioned to convey packaging bags into the pressure resistant chamber. The opening and closing bars are dimensioned to detect a bag on the hopper by opening towards both sides immediately after a bag has been conveyed into the pressure resistant chamber. A pushing bar is dimensioned to convey an item to be packaged into the bag when the bag is detected on the hopper by the opening and closing bars. The opening and closing bars contact a sensor for detecting movement of the opening and closing bars when a bag is not on the hopper.Type: GrantFiled: July 29, 2004Date of Patent: November 14, 2006Assignee: Furukawa Mfg. Co., Ltd.Inventors: Eitaro Kujubu, Hiroshi Kondo, Wataru Kudo

Publication number: 20050022467Abstract: A packaging system is provided which supplies an item to be packaged and a bag covering the item to a pressure resistant chamber, for a heat sealing mechanism which arrives at a certain time interval, in accordance with the circulation timing of each sealing mechanism. The packaging system includes means for causing a beak-shaped hopper and a pair of opening and closing bars, to move back and forth in unison along a main travel path leading to a rotary vacuum packaging device, means for extending and supporting the opening section of an uppermost packaging bag, and conveying same into a pressure resistant chamber of the vacuum packaging device, means for causing a waiting station to move following the conveyance movement of the beak-shaped hopper into a pressure resistant chamber, and means for opening the opening and closing bars towards either side immediately after the bag has been conveyed into the pressure resistant chamber.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 29, 2004Publication date: February 3, 2005Inventors: Eitaro Kujubu, Hiroshi Kondo, Wataru Kudo

Patent number: 6834472Abstract: An article to be packaged and a packaging bag for covering the article are supplied to heat sealing mechanisms which arrive at uniform time intervals, in synchronism with cycle timing of the respective heat sealing mechanisms. A vertically openable beak-shaped hopper and a sliding plate perform reciprocal movement at a uniform time interval along guides on both sides, and arrive at circulating sealing platforms. The hopper is inserted into an opening of the packaging bag hanging down from above, and conveys the packaging bag to the sealing platform whilst extending the same. In response to a relevant signal, a forward-and-reverse motor coupled to a ball screw causes the article to advance following the hopper by an insertion rod moving along the guides.Type: GrantFiled: August 12, 2003Date of Patent: December 28, 2004Assignee: Furukawa Mfg. Co., Ltd.Inventors: Eitaro Kujubu, Hiroshi Kondo, Wataru Kudo
