Publication number: 20110026386Abstract: An optical disc recording apparatus for recording a video object onto an optical disc. A recording area of the optical disc is divided into a plurality of zones which each include a plurality of adjacent tracks. The optical disc recording apparatus includes: a reading unit for reading from the optical disc the sector information showing data assignment for sectors on the optical disc; a recording unit for recording the video object onto the optical disc; and a control unit for controlling the reading unit and the recording unit. The control unit detects at least one series of consecutive unassigned sectors on the optical disc by referring to the read sector information. Each series has a total size greater than a minimum size and is located within a single zone. The minimum size corresponds to a data amount that ensures uninterrupted reproduction of the video object. The control unit also controls the recording unit to record the video object into the detected series.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 14, 2010Publication date: February 3, 2011Inventors: Tokuo NAKATANI, Yoshiho Gotoh, Yasushi Tamakoshi, Hiroshi Kato, Tomoyuki Okada, Kaoru Murase

Patent number: 7774778Abstract: A device control apparatus has a state processing task section 101 for determining an operation state of a device among a plurality of operation states of the device; a sequence processing task section 107 for running a processing program among a plurality of processing programs, and a task connecting section 111 for selecting the sequence processing program corresponding to the operation state of the device determined by the state processing task section to activate the sequence processing task section 107. In this arrangement, the sequence processing program can be easily written without considering an internal state transition processing, and the internal state transition processing and the sequence processing program can be freely designed without the need of modifying the sequence processing program due to change of the internal state transition processing.Type: GrantFiled: February 16, 2005Date of Patent: August 10, 2010Assignee: Panasonic CorporationInventors: Yutaka Fujihara, Shusuke Haruna, Hirokazu Yamamoto, Takeshi Makiyori, Sumio Kurose, Takuya Nomura, Yasushi Tamakoshi

Publication number: 20050229045Abstract: According to the importance levels of bugs and information for progress of correction for the bugs, a bug for which priority in problem solution is to be given is chosen. In an original source code, a search is performed to the whole original source code for a character sting written in a bug form and expressing the bug, thereby identifying locations in which bugs in the same type might exist. Furthermore, a search for a correction location in a corrected source code is performed and correction contents are verified with reference to the bug form and the retrieved correction location in the corrected source code.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 3, 2005Publication date: October 13, 2005Inventor: Yasushi Tamakoshi

Publication number: 20050204241Abstract: In a cause categorization step, bugs are categorized according to technical causes. In a damage evaluation step, how many steps the process has turned back due to a bug is measured. In a damage calculation step, damages are calculated for each bug technical cause. In a problem extraction step, a technical cause of which the damage is large is chosen as a problem. Then, in the bug database search step, a search for a measure for the bug technical cause extracted as a problem is performed with reference with a bug database so as to indicate an appropriate measure for a project.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 3, 2005Publication date: September 15, 2005Inventor: Yasushi Tamakoshi

Patent number: 6597862Abstract: An individual information manager manages individual information of respective disks housed in a disk housing. The individual information includes residual area information indicative of the size of a residual area on which data is recordable. A disk selection controller selects a target disk from the disks housed in the housing by reference to the individual information of the respective disks that is managed by the individual information manager. In this configuration, a target disk can be appropriately selected in view of residual capacities of respective disks used during recording data, even if the user does not specify any disk.Type: GrantFiled: March 10, 1999Date of Patent: July 22, 2003Assignee: Matsushita Electric Industrial Co., Ltd.Inventors: Shinichi Saeki, Kazuhiro Tsuga, Hidefumi Ino, Tokuo Nakatani, Yasushi Tamakoshi
