Patent number: 7932819Abstract: A first meter cluster panel and a second meter cluster panel are disposed on an instrument panel of a vehicle such that the first meter cluster panel and the second meter cluster panel have respective centers of display disposed substantially coaxially with each other. The first meter cluster panel is disposed near a boundary line at a position deeper than that of the second meter cluster panel as viewed by a driver who is directing his or her line of sight from an eye range in the forward direction of the vehicle. The first meter cluster panel displays information that is visually recognized outside of a steering wheel. The second meter cluster panel displays information that is visually recognized inside the steering wheel when the driver directs his or her line of sight from the eye range in the forward direction of the vehicle.Type: GrantFiled: August 29, 2006Date of Patent: April 26, 2011Assignee: Honda Motor Co., Ltd.Inventors: Kenichi Arie, Kazuhiro Hasunuma, Naoki Wada, Masahide Kobayashi, Hidetoshi Kabayama, Makoto Koike

Patent number: 7237053Abstract: One aspect of the present invention is a clock switching circuit for switching between asynchronous first clock and second clock when connecting or disconnecting an interface cable having a hot-plug function. The clock switching circuit includes a first group of flip-flops for receiving an interface disconnection signal that corresponds to disconnection and connection of the interface cable in response to the first clock, and a second group of flip-flops for receiving the interface disconnection signal in response to the second clock.Type: GrantFiled: November 16, 2000Date of Patent: June 26, 2007Assignee: Fujitsu LimitedInventors: Masato Mitsuhashi, Yoshiyuki Shirai

Patent number: 7221574Abstract: A semiconductor storage device has a memory cell (501, 502) storing data; bit lines (BL1, BL2) connected to the memory cell, allowing therethrough data input or output to or from the memory cell; a sense amplifier (506a) connected to said bit lines, amplifying data on the bit lines; and a switching transistor (505a) connecting or disconnecting the bit line connected to the memory cell to or from the bit line connected to the sense amplifier. The switching transistor operates differently in a first memory cell access operation and in a second memory cell access operation.Type: GrantFiled: April 12, 2005Date of Patent: May 22, 2007Assignee: Fujitsu LimitedInventors: Hiroyoshi Tomita, Toshiya Uchida

Patent number: 7217194Abstract: A constant velocity universal joint includes an outer joint member has three track grooves extending axially in an inner circumference portion thereof with a roller guide surface extending axially on each side of the respective track grooves; a tripod member has three trunnions protruding in the radial direction; and a roller mechanism is mounted in each of the trunnions of the tripod member. The roller mechanism is capable of swinging and oscillating freely with respect to the trunnions, and has a roller guided along the roller guide surface in the direction parallel to the axis line of the outer joint member. An outer peripheral surface of the roller, which is made by ground-finishing, is in contact with the roller guide surface, and has a surface roughness of 0.35 Ra or less.Type: GrantFiled: July 30, 2004Date of Patent: May 15, 2007Assignee: NTN CorporationInventors: Tatsuhiro Goto, Hiroshi Murakami, Masahide Miyata, Mikio Tomiyama

Patent number: 7212453Abstract: Regular data inputted/outputted to/from external terminals is read/written to/from a regular cell array, and parity data is read/written from/to a parity cell array. Since the parity data is generated by a parity generation circuit, it is difficult to write a desired pattern to the parity cell array. The regular data and the parity data are exchanged with each other by a switch circuit, so that the regular data can be written to the parity cell array and the parity data can be written to the regular cell array. This enables the write of desired data to the parity cell array. A test of the parity data can be easily conducted. In particular, a leakage test or the like between memory cells can be easily conducted.Type: GrantFiled: June 20, 2005Date of Patent: May 1, 2007Assignee: Fujitsu LimitedInventors: Akira Kikutake, Yasuhiro Onishi, Kuninori Kawabata, Junichi Sasaki, Toshiya Miyo

Patent number: 6738287Abstract: A nonvolatile semiconductor memory device includes a memory core circuit which is nonvolatile and stores multi-values therein by setting different thresholds to memory cells, and a control circuit which controls data writing into the memory core circuit, wherein the control circuit programs first memory cells to be at one of the thresholds by setting the one of the thresholds not only to the first memory cells but also to second memory cells that are subsequently to be programmed to any one of the thresholds higher than the one of the thresholds, the control circuit successively performing programming in an ascending order of the thresholds.Type: GrantFiled: May 15, 2003Date of Patent: May 18, 2004Assignee: Fujitsu LimitedInventor: Masaru Yano
