AKIRA TAKEO has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 10763184
    Abstract: A power module substrate or the like including an insulating substrate with an upper surface and a lower surface, a metal plate with an upper surface and a lower surface, the lower surface facing and being bonded to the upper surface of the insulating substrate, and a first electroplating layer that partly covers the central portion of the upper surface of the metal plate. The first electroplating layer includes at least a silver layer, and the grain size of silver in the silver layer is more than or equal to the grain size of a metal in an upper surface portion of the metal plate.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: April 25, 2017
    Date of Patent: September 1, 2020
    Assignee: Kyocera Corporation

  • Patent number: 10122901
    Abstract: A control unit includes a controller controlling a polarization state of a liquid crystal layer of a liquid-crystal low pass filter to be any of a first polarization state, a second polarization state, and an intermediate polarization state between the first polarization state and the second polarization state. In output of a plurality of image data from an imaging element, the controller controls the polarization state of the liquid crystal layer to be the first polarization state or the second polarization state when first image data of the image data is outputted, and the controller controls the polarization state of the liquid crystal layer to be the intermediate polarization state when one or more of second and subsequent ones of the image data are outputted.
