Patent number: 6831386Abstract: A stator device which prevents the formation of varnish accumulations on jumper wires, thereby preventing jumper wire breakage due to temperature variations. A gap is created between the jumper wire and the stud located on the stator body. When varnish is applied to the stud and the jumper wires, excess varnish flows through the gap and pools underneath. Moreover, when there is a significant accumulation of varnish in the gap, the varnish will flow off from the edge of the stator body.Type: GrantFiled: July 28, 2003Date of Patent: December 14, 2004Assignee: Minebea Co., Ltd.Inventors: Taiichi Miya, Naohiko Aoyama

Patent number: 6829462Abstract: A toner supply container comprises a container body accommodating toner. The container body is detachably mounted from above into a machine body of an image forming machine along a first guide member and a second guide member provided with a predetermined spacing in the machine body. The toner supply container includes a first locking mechanism disposed in one end portion of the container body, and a second locking mechanism disposed in the other end portion of the container body. The first locking mechanism includes an engagement claw to be engaged with an engagement stop portion provided in the first guide member when the container body is located at a mounting position, and an unlocking lever for releasing engagement between the engagement claw and the engagement stop portion.Type: GrantFiled: January 17, 2003Date of Patent: December 7, 2004Assignee: Kyocera CorporationInventor: Keiichi Nagashiro

Patent number: 6810091Abstract: There is disclosed a reduced-scale digital data deinterleaver of simple structure. In a preferred embodiment each word is comprised of 32 bits of data, and 32 words form a block. In each block, each word is separated into four phases cyclically. The resulting bit lines and word lines are interchanged to produce interleaved data items. One block of the interleaved data items is written into a RAM. A higher significant address of 5 bits and a lower significant address of 5 bits of the RAM are specified by the higher significant 5 bits and the lower significant 5 bits, respectively, of the output from a counter. Whenever a block of data is written to the RAM the higher significant 5 bits and the lower significant 5 bits are interchanged to produce first and second count signals. Data is read from the specified address, 1 bit at a time and data is written, 1 bit at a time, into the address just from which data was read out.Type: GrantFiled: April 21, 1999Date of Patent: October 26, 2004Assignee: Nippion Precision Circuits, Inc.Inventor: Hiroyuki Kawanishi

Patent number: 6798395Abstract: An information terminal device comprises a backlight for illuminating a key operation portion or a LCD display portion; an optical sensor portion for detecting lightness of the surroundings; a backlight control for turning on illumination light according to surrounding light for a fixed time after key operation; and an optical sensor control for applying electric power to the optical sensor portion at regular intervals thereby to detect the surrounding light, wherein the application of the electric power to the optical sensor portion is forbidden except when the surrounding light is detected. Further, the backlight control switches, according to the surrounding light when the key operation is performed, control in which both the key operational portion backlight and the LCD backlight are turned on, control in which only the LCD backlight is turned on, and control in which both of the backlights are not turned on.Type: GrantFiled: June 19, 2000Date of Patent: September 28, 2004Assignee: Kyocera CorporationInventors: Atsushi Yamauchi, Masayuki Saito

Patent number: 6795269Abstract: A video recorder housing has a pivoting gate to open and close the cassette slot of the video recorder. The pivoting gate has a movable hook secure to its rear side. When a video cassette is inserted into the cassette slot to be loaded into the housing, the movable hook partially appears from the lower edge of the pivoting gate, and the pivoting gate remains partially open with the protruding hook resting on the upper surface of the video cassette. The partially open pivoting gate exposes the label of the video cassette to be seen from the outside.Type: GrantFiled: March 21, 2002Date of Patent: September 21, 2004Assignee: Orion Electric Co., Ltd.Inventor: Masahiko Nishide

Patent number: 6781788Abstract: Disclosed is an improved video recorder housing having a main-and-auxiliary pivoting gate assembly to open and close its front cassette slot. The housing has a chamfered cassette guide extending inward from the lower edge of the cassette slot. The housing has a horizontal pin positioned inside and above the cassette slot. The main gate is attached to rotate about the horizontal pin and is spring-biased toward its closing position. The main gate has a sub-horizontal pin and an inverted “L”-shaped lever both operatively connected to control the degree of opening of the auxiliary gate. The auxiliary gate is spring-biased toward its closing position, and can be rotated about the sub-horizontal pin while the inverted “L”-shaped lever rolls on the ceiling of the housing. With this arrangement, the main gate is kept half open with its lower edge caught by the upper surface of a videocassette loaded inside the video recorder.Type: GrantFiled: March 21, 2002Date of Patent: August 24, 2004Assignee: Orion Electric Co., Ltd.Inventor: Masahiko Nishide

Patent number: 6731169Abstract: The first amplifier circuit D1 is formed by connecting drains of a pair of N-channel MOS transistors forming the first current mirror circuit CM1 respectively to the drains of P-channel MOS transistors 1 and 2 as a differential input portion, and the second amplifier circuit D2 is formed by connecting drains of a pair of P-channel MOS transistors forming the second current mirror circuit CM2 respectively to the drains of N-channel MOS transistors 5 and 6 as a differential amplifier circuit. The first and second differential amplifier circuits D1 and D2 can amplify the first and second signals having cycles corresponding with each other with their duty ratios kept unchanged regardless of their operating point potentials. Further, the two outputs are combined into one output to suppress variation of the operating point potential of the output attributable to process-related factors, fluctuation of the power supply potential due to the oscillating operation and the like.Type: GrantFiled: December 20, 2002Date of Patent: May 4, 2004Assignee: Nippon Precision CircuitsInventors: Kunihiko Tsukagoshi, Satoru Miyabe, Kazuhisa Oyama
