Patent number: 9641743Abstract: A device includes circuitry configured to acquire detection signals from at least one sensor device corresponding to an input operation and determine one or more input characters based on one or more characteristics of the detection signals. The circuitry is also configured to activate a timer corresponding to the one or more input characters and issue a control signal to at least one camera to perform an image capture operation when an amount of remaining time on the timer is equal to zero.Type: GrantFiled: March 6, 2015Date of Patent: May 2, 2017Assignees: Sony Corporation, Sony Mobile Communications Inc.Inventors: Tomoo Mizukami, Ryoko Amano, Daichi Yagi

Patent number: 9546436Abstract: Casting polycrystalline silicon includes placing a bottomless cooling crucible divided at least partially in the axis direction into a plurality of parts in the peripheral direction and having an inner surface coated with a release agent containing nitrogen, in an induction coil of a chamber charged with an inert gas; melting a raw material of polycrystalline silicon in the bottomless cooling crucible by electromagnetic induction heating using the induction coil; and pulling out the molten silicon downward while cooling and solidifying it. Pullout of the solidified molten silicon is performed through adjusting the carbon concentration of the molten silicon to 4.0×1017 atoms/cm3 or more to 6.0×1017 atoms/cm3 or less, the oxygen concentration thereof to 0.3×1017 atoms/cm3 or more to 5.0×1017 atoms/cm3 or less, and the nitrogen concentration to 8.0×1013 atoms/cm3 or more to 1.0×1018 atoms/cm3 or less.Type: GrantFiled: March 1, 2013Date of Patent: January 17, 2017Assignee: SUMCO CORPORATIONInventors: Daichi Yagi, Takahiro Abe

Patent number: 9542720Abstract: Captured or input image data is converted into an image of a size of a specific number of pixels. Then, predetermined plural types of different effects are applied to image data obtained through the conversion. Several types of image data items with the applied effects are arranged and simultaneously displayed.Type: GrantFiled: October 11, 2013Date of Patent: January 10, 2017Assignees: Sony Corporation, Sony Mobile Communications Inc.Inventors: Akihiro Shimomura, Yuka Jingushi, Hidehiro Komatsu, Akira Nishiyama, Noribumi Shibayama, Ryoko Amano, Miyuki Shirakawa, Kazuya Takeuchi, Takeshi Tanigawa, Daichi Yagi, Yasuhiro Yoshioka

Patent number: 9449237Abstract: To make it possible to significantly reduce a burden on a user at a time of a classification of image files added or updated, for example, and thus facilitate association with other content data. An image detector/register (20) detects an image file that is unregistered or updated, and structures and manages a list of the image files. A face rectangular detector (21) detects a face rectangle in the image files detected, associates information on the face rectangle with the image file, and stores the information. A similar face classification section (22) calculates an amount of feature of the face rectangle, compares the amount of feature calculated with amounts of feature of different face rectangles already calculated and classified into groups, calculates a similarity between the face rectangle and the face rectangles of the different face rectangles in the respective groups, and classifies and manages the face rectangles in accordance with a result of the similarity calculation.Type: GrantFiled: September 30, 2009Date of Patent: September 20, 2016Assignees: Sony Corporation, Sony Mobile Communications Inc.Inventors: Daichi Yagi, Hiroyuki Kawakami, Akitaka Kimura

Patent number: 9371788Abstract: A vehicle includes an engine in which an intake valve is provided in each of a plurality of cylinders and an ECU for controlling the engine. An intake valve provided for at least any one of the plurality of cylinders opens when an output shaft of the engine stops. The ECU changes an intake valve which opens when the output shaft of the engine stops, while the vehicle is running.Type: GrantFiled: April 13, 2011Date of Patent: June 21, 2016Assignee: TOYOTA JIDOSHA KABUSHIKI KAISHAInventors: Shigeo Okubo, Yasushi Ando, Daichi Yagi

Patent number: 9014889Abstract: A hybrid vehicle includes an internal combustion engine; a rotating electrical machine that rotates an output shaft of the internal combustion engine; and a control unit that performs automatic stop control for the internal combustion engine. The control unit causes the output shaft to rotate using the rotating electrical machine, when a stop period of the internal combustion engine according to the automatic stop control is equal to or longer than a first period.Type: GrantFiled: August 3, 2012Date of Patent: April 21, 2015Assignee: Toyota Jidosha Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Yasushi Ando, Shigeo Okubo, Daichi Yagi
