Patent number: 8596870Abstract: A dust seal is provided with a tubular fitting portion, a bush end surface abutting portion, a lip portion and a sealing projection integrally formed. The sealing projection is formed to project in an axially opposite direction to the lip portion from a radial inner section of the bush end surface abutting portion and abuts against a chamfered portion of a bush in such a manner as to overlap the chamfered portion. Therefore, at the time of supplying lubricant between the bush and a connecting pin, the sealing projection can prevent a part of the lubricant from entering between an end surface of the bush and the bush end surface abutting portion of the dust seal to maintain a sealed state therebetween. In consequence, the dust seal can be stably held on the inner peripheral side of a boss member, preventing the pulling-out of the dust seal.Type: GrantFiled: March 26, 2009Date of Patent: December 3, 2013Assignees: Hitachi Construction Machinery Co., Ltd., Nippon Valqua Industries, Ltd.Inventors: Hideki Akita, Osamu Gokita, Akiko Sato, Eiji Negoro, Tomiyoshi Yamazaki

Patent number: 8373818Abstract: A multiple primary color display device according to the present invention includes a pixel defined by a plurality of sub pixels. The plurality of sub pixels include a first sub pixel to display a first color having a first hue, a second sub pixel to display a second color having a second hue, a third sub pixel to display a third color having a third hue, and a fourth sub pixel to display a fourth color having a fourth hue. When a color represented by the input signal is changed from black to white via a color of a prescribed hue, luminance levels of the plurality of sub pixels are set such that the luminance level of each of the first sub pixel, the second sub pixel and the third sub pixel is started to be increased without increasing the luminance level of the fourth sub pixel and such that the luminance level of the third sub pixel is increased at a lower rate than that of the luminance level of each of the first sub pixel and the second sub pixel.Type: GrantFiled: November 22, 2010Date of Patent: February 12, 2013Assignee: Sharp Kabushiki KaihsaInventors: Kazunari Tomizawa, Yuichi Yoshida, Akiko Sato

Patent number: 7693675Abstract: Methods of confidential data sharing and mutual authentication between a sensor node and a router are established, and data in the sensor node is protected from a physical attack. Sensor node issuing processing is performed on a sensor node having a tamper resistant device. The sensor node issuing processing is processing in which data and a function that are deactivated are loaded in the tamper resistant device of the sensor node from the time of manufacture of the sensor node to the time the sensor node reaches a system that runs the sensor node. Activation data is used to activate the deactivated data and function. The activation data is shared between stages of the issuing processing with the use of a data management system.Type: GrantFiled: June 5, 2007Date of Patent: April 6, 2010Assignee: Hitachi, Ltd.Inventors: Masahiro Motobayashi, Akiko Sato, Toshio Okochi

Patent number: 7662419Abstract: A composition which is obtained by causing a specific compound to be present together with sucralose. The composition provides a sucralose in a stable form, more particularly, a sucralose which is still stable and thus is significantly suppressed with respect to the decrease in sweetness and discoloration (browning, blackening), even when it is subjected to a warming treatment under a condition wherein temperature is high and especially water content is low and/or pH is low. The stabilized sucralose-containing composition can be used as a sweetener by itself and as a compound with a food or a drug.Type: GrantFiled: February 24, 2005Date of Patent: February 16, 2010Assignee: San-Ei Gen F.F.I., IncInventors: Naoto Ojima, Masami Madono, Kazutaka Hirao, Masanori Mie, Akiko Sato

Patent number: 7587200Abstract: A computer system including wireless terminals which transmit information, a business application server which performs a predetermined operation based on information received from the wireless terminals, and a base transceiver station which relays communications between the wireless terminals and the business application server, are provided. The base transceiver station, to manage said plural wireless terminals in groups, stores a group definition table showing a correspondence between the wireless terminals and the groups, stores the information received from the terminals in a state history table which manages the state history of the wireless terminals, extracts difference information between the information received from the wireless terminals and the information stored in the state history table, summarizes the extracted difference information for each group, and transmits it to the business application server. The data amount received by a business application server is thus reduced.Type: GrantFiled: July 19, 2006Date of Patent: September 8, 2009Assignee: Hitachi, LtdInventors: Yusuke Mishina, Akiko Sato, Masahiro Motobayashi

Patent number: 7587221Abstract: An attribute value of a matter accompanied by a sensor is transmissibly accessible in a sensor node system constituted by wireless terminal computers having the sensor, the wireless communication base stations and server computers. The wireless terminal computer reports at the time of wireless communication an identification number of a wireless communication base station with which it communicates previously. A relay processing service is dynamically constituted so that when a wireless communication base station different from itself is reported, the wireless base station as the communication counter-part can transmissbly look up the wireless terminal computer from a host computer.Type: GrantFiled: February 21, 2006Date of Patent: September 8, 2009Assignee: Hitachi, Ltd.Inventors: Yusuke Mishina, Toshio Okochi, Akiko Sato, Masahiro Motobayashi

Patent number: 7487920Abstract: An integrated circuit card operation management system and method are provided. In one example of the system, a collator system is provided for receiving a user request to determine whether the application program can be loaded, for acquiring a card policy from a card issue management system, and for acquiring an application program policy from a service provider management system. The collator system requests card related information of the card issue management system and requests application program related information of the service provider management system. The collator system specifies a definition format. The card issue management system and the service provider management system extract requested information from existent information, convert the requested information according to the specified definition format, and transmit the converted information to the collator system.Type: GrantFiled: June 18, 2004Date of Patent: February 10, 2009Assignee: Hitachi, Ltd.Inventors: Akiko Sato, Yusuke Mishina, Masanori Oikawa

Patent number: 7360088Abstract: A system is provided which compensates a low operational performance of a conventional integrated circuit (IC) card by setting a substitute server computer between the IC card and a business server computer in a system using the IC card. Substitute processing using an authentication result is realized by setting an IC card authentication server computer in addition to the business server computer and sending an authentication result of the authentication server computer to the IC card, substitute server computer, and business server computer. Thus, because the substitute server computer does not directly authenticate the IC card, the quantity of authentication information in the substitute server computer is substantially reduced and authentication processing becomes efficient.Type: GrantFiled: June 18, 2004Date of Patent: April 15, 2008Assignee: Hitachi, Ltd.Inventors: Yusuke Mishina, Akiko Sato, Masanori Oikawa
