Patent number: 7468167Abstract: A method for quickly starting up a reactor and a reactor system therefor are provided. A shell-and-tube reactor in the system is adapted to circulate a heat medium having a solid point in the range of 50-250° C. to the outside of the reaction tubes and characterized by initiating temperature elevation of the reactor by introducing a gas of a temperature in the range of 100-400° C. to the reaction tubes' side and then circulating the heat medium in a heated state to the outside of the reaction tubes. By introducing a gas of an elevated temperature preparatorily to the reaction tubes, it is made possible to prevent the heat medium after circulation from being solidified again and enable the reactor to be quickly started up.Type: GrantFiled: September 7, 2005Date of Patent: December 23, 2008Assignee: Nippon Shokubai Co., Ltd.Inventors: Yukihiro Matsumoto, Takeshi Nishimura, Hideki Sogabe, Kazuhiko Sakamoto, Osamu Dodo

Patent number: 6662309Abstract: An information storage medium is designed to assure stable continuous recording without adverse effect, even when many defective areas are present on the information storage medium. To record information onto the information storage medium, a file unit is defined as a first unit. A contiguous data area unit to be treated as a continuous recording area is defined as a second unit. Furthermore, recording is done in the contiguous data area units and a collection of the contiguous data area units is organized into the file unit. In addition, an information recording place is provided in such a manner that the contiguous data area unit is so set that it extends over the recording area of another file already recorded on the information storage medium and a defective area on the information storage medium.Type: GrantFiled: March 8, 2001Date of Patent: December 9, 2003Assignee: Kabushiki Kaisha ToshibaInventors: Hideo Ando, Seigo Ito, Hideki Takahashi, Hiroaki Unno, Hideki Sogabe

Publication number: 20030161614Abstract: Multimedia data embedded with control information for playback control are recorded on a recording medium in predetermined playback units. The recording medium also stores a management table, which manages a first file that defines the physical locations of the multimedia data and control information, and a second file that defines the physical locations of at least part of the multimedia data. A CPU executes playback control based on the first or second file by looking up the management table. Since a plurality of files that share multimedia data are used, the respective processes can be efficiently done without recording different versions of identical multimedia data.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 23, 2003Publication date: August 28, 2003Applicant: Kabushiki Kaisha ToshibaInventors: Masahide Yanagihara, Seiichi Nakamura, Hideki Sogabe, Yasuhiro Ishibashi

Patent number: 6611534Abstract: Region or field data corresponding to digital contents contained in a stream is embedded in the header field of the stream transmitted from a data output system. A data processing system controls grant/denial of partial processing in correspondence with the contents in the stream data on the basis of the region or field data embedded in the header field of the data packet in place of limiting the entire stream. Hence, the contents that each receiving system can deal with can be flexibly controlled without requiring any control for changing the stream to be transmitted in accordance with the branch structure of a title.Type: GrantFiled: April 14, 1999Date of Patent: August 26, 2003Assignee: Kabushiki Kaisha ToshibaInventors: Hideki Sogabe, Yasuhiro Ishibashi

Publication number: 20010036360Abstract: A service system includes a digital versatile disc, terminal, and server. The digital versatile disc has a first file which stores video and audio information and a second file which stores playback control information for the information in the first file. The information cannot normally be played back. The terminal is connected to a network and receives the digital versatile disc. The server is arranged in the network and has repair information which can repair the information in the digital versatile disc. Upon receiving a playback request for the information in the digital versatile disc from the terminal when the terminal uses the digital versatile disc, the server returns the repair information to the terminal and causes the terminal to play back the information from the digital versatile disc.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 22, 2001Publication date: November 1, 2001Inventors: Hideki Sogabe, Hiroshi Uchikoga
