Patent number: 5737036Abstract: A color image display apparatus utilizing a field sequential signal displays a picture normally without disturbance or deteriorating vertical resolution even when displaying an interlace image signal. The color image display apparatus is formed by a field sequential signal generator for converting a primary color signal to be interlaced into a field sequential signal, a monochrome image display apparatus for sequentially displaying a converted field sequential signal, a color apparatus 5 disposed to face a display screen of the monochrome image display apparatus to color a field sequential signal displayed on the display screen, and a control circuit for controlling timing of operations of these elements. A field judging result is supplied to the control circuit, and the control circuit operates so that a horizontal synchronizing signal of the field sequential signal is outputted continuously in a constant cycle even when an image signal to be interlaced is inputted.Type: GrantFiled: August 31, 1995Date of Patent: April 7, 1998Assignee: Mitsubishi Denki Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Akira Kanai, Masaki Yamakawa, Junya Takahashi

Patent number: 5654756Abstract: An image pick-up apparatus, wherein a light emitting device sequentially emits a plurality of colors of light to a subject, a mono-color image pick-up element photo-electrically converts light reflected by or transmitted through the subject into color-field sequential signals, a memory stores the color-field sequential signals separately in connection with respective colors, and a convertor sequentially or simultaneously reads out the color-field sequential signals stored in connection with the respective colors in the memory and converts them into desired video signals of various color spaces. A disc shaped light shield device with a slit intermittently interrupts light from the light emitting device.Type: GrantFiled: February 16, 1995Date of Patent: August 5, 1997Assignee: Mitsubishi Denki Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Jynya Takahashi, Masaki Yamakawa, Akira Kanai

Patent number: 5648825Abstract: In a color image display system formed of a monochromatic CRT or like image display device (102) having a screen (103) for display of images and a rotary filter (106) comprising color filter sections (106R, 106G and 106B) of a plurality of colors; image signals are read from memories (130R, 130G, 130B) at a rate higher than they are written in the memories, so as to reduce flickers. The problem of passing of the reading address over the writing address is solved by reading the image signal of prominent color taking a period in which the passing over occurs. High frequency components of other color image signals are extracted and added to the image signal of each color to thereby enhance the definition of the picture.Type: GrantFiled: June 5, 1995Date of Patent: July 15, 1997Assignee: Mitsubishi Denki Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Akira Kanai, Masaki Yamakawa, Shoichi Sugihara, Masaharu Hayakawa, Kiyotaka Yamamoto, Masafumi Kodama, Akiko Maeno

Patent number: 5574516Abstract: A color image display system includes a monochromatic CRT or similar image display device which includes a screen for display of images and a rotary filter having filter sections of a plurality of colors. The system further includes memories for storing color image signals corresponding to each of the colors. A control circuit reads the color image signals from the memories at a higher rate than the color image signals are written into the memories to reduce image flickering. The reading operation, however, passes over the writing operation. Discontinuities caused by this passing over are reduced by reading a color image signal corresponding to a less prominent color during the passing over. Discontinuities are avoided by providing an additional memory in the system and alternately reading and writing between one of the first set of memories and the additional memory.Type: GrantFiled: July 8, 1993Date of Patent: November 12, 1996Assignee: Mitsubishi Denki Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Akira Kanai, Masaki Yamakawa, Shoichi Sugihara, Masaharu Hayakawa, Kiyotaka Yamamoto, Masafumi Kodama, Akiko Maeno

Patent number: 4656951Abstract: A rotary table unit having a stationary base element and a table element rotatably mounted on the stationary base element is provided with hydrostatic and hydrodynamic bearing guides forming a composite bearing guide mechanism for enabling smooth and stable rotation of the table element under application of local load to the table element. The rotary table unit is also provided with a main drive motor for rotating the table element and an auxiliary drive motor for supplementing a drive force of the main drive motor in response to a change in load applied to the table element.Type: GrantFiled: May 23, 1985Date of Patent: April 14, 1987Assignee: Citizen Watch Co., Ltd.Inventors: Sosaku Kimura, Toshikazu Hatsuse, Masami Shimizu, Masakazu Miyashita, Junichi Yoshioka, Akira Kanai, Koichi Koizumi

Patent number: 4653408Abstract: A direct-acting table mechanism in which tables are driven without any contact by use of a hydrostatic fluid for thrust-transmitting the tables in their sliding direction. The tables are hydrostatically supported on hydrostatic guides on a bed, and differential pressures are supplied to the hydrostatically supporting portions to control the attitude of the tables. This table mechanism is of high degree of accuracy uninfluenced by errors in the feed screw system, high rigidity and thus permits highly stable fine feed.Type: GrantFiled: July 30, 1985Date of Patent: March 31, 1987Assignee: Citizen Watch Co., Ltd.Inventors: Mitsuyoshi Nagashima, Toshikazu Hatsuse, Masakazu Miyashita, Akira Kanai

Patent number: 4528074Abstract: Disclosed is a method of producing a grinding wheel by electroplating. A part of the outer peripheral portion of a grinding wheel body is immersed in a plating solution. While rotating the grinding wheel body at a low speed, electric current is supplied to flow between an anode disposed in the plating solution and a cathode contacting the grinding wheel body, so that a pre-plating layer of uniform thickness is formed on the outer peripheral surface of the grinding wheel body. Plating operation is continued while adhering abrasive grains to the pre-plating layer to further cause a precipitation of a plating layer to temporarily fix the abrasive grains. The abrasive grains are then pressed by a pressing roller so as to be forcibly embedded into the pre-plating layer by making an effective use of plastic deformation of the pre-plating layer, thereby to obtain a uniform projection height of the abrasive grains from the surface of the grinding wheel.Type: GrantFiled: March 1, 1984Date of Patent: July 9, 1985Assignee: Nissin Machine Works, LimitedInventors: Masakazu Miyashita, Akira Kanai, Junichi Yoshioka, Koichi Koizumi, Fukuo Hashimoto, Michimasa Daito, Takashi Hasebe

Patent number: 4523410Abstract: In a machine tool such as a surface grinding machine or the like, a guide mechanism for the machine tool wherein one of a pair of opposed guideways is formed into a hydrodynamic guideway, whilst the other guideway is formed into a hydrostatic guideway, the hydrodynamic guideway is utilized as only one master guide, and on the other hand, the hydrostatic guideway is made to act in such that a moving body is pushed onto the hydrodynamic guideway with a constant pressure, so that this arrangement makes uniform the contact pressure distribution in the hydrodynamic guideway, thus the posture of the moving body is improved thereby making the same to perform precision linear motion.Type: GrantFiled: December 27, 1983Date of Patent: June 18, 1985Assignee: Citizen Watch Co., Ltd.Inventors: Junichi Yoshioka, Koichi Koizumi, Akira Kanai, Kazuo Shiba
