Patent number: 8417742Abstract: A folder relationship holding unit (305) manages the relationship only between parents and children of files and/or folders arranged in a hierarchical structure. An operation target of the files and/or folders managed by the folder relationship holding unit (305) is operated in a locked state. To reflect the operation result on each apparatus that manages information identical to that managed by the folder relationship holding unit (305), the apparatus is notified of the operation result at a designated timing.Type: GrantFiled: February 4, 2010Date of Patent: April 9, 2013Assignee: Canon Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Fumiaki Itoh, Tsutomu Inose, Hiroyuki Nagai, Tomoyuki Shimizu, Hajime Futatsugi, Hidenori Ishiwata

Patent number: 6204486Abstract: In a heater unit, comprising a lower metallic base, an upper metallic base placed closely over an upper surface of said lower base, and a resistance heater wire received in a groove defined between opposing surfaces of said lower and upper bases, ceramic powder is filled in said groove to keep said heater wire at least away from a wall surface of said groove. Thus, the heater wire can be directly installed in the groove of the base without the intervention of a sheath pipe so that the heater wire can be bent in a desired dense pattern, and the heater unit can be heated both rapidly and uniformly. Also, the ceramic powder filled in the groove improves the heat transfer, and this even further enhances the these advantages of the present invention.Type: GrantFiled: October 29, 1999Date of Patent: March 20, 2001Assignees: NHK Spring Co., Ltd., Taiyo Electric Heater Co., Ltd.Inventors: Takashi Masaki, Jun Futakuchiya, Kenzo Yasuda, Hidenori Ishiwata, Shinji Saito, Shinya Miyaji, Tsutomu Amakawa, Toshihiro Sugisawa

Patent number: 6180931Abstract: An upper metallic base is placed over a lower metallic base with a resistance heater element interposed between them so as to cause a plastic deformation to at least one of the opposing surfaces until the corresponding surfaces conform to an outer profile of the heater element, and the opposing surfaces of the lower and upper bases, and the resistance heater element are substantially entirely bonded to one another by a metallic bonding which may consist of brazing, soldering or diffusion bonding. Because the metallic bonding provides a favorable heat conduction, and can thereby improve the thermal efficiency and prevent local heating, a rapid temperature rise and uniform heating are made possible. Because the base consists of two parts, the material for the base can be selected from a wide range of materials including those capable of withstanding high temperatures and corrosive materials.Type: GrantFiled: July 1, 1999Date of Patent: January 30, 2001Assignee: NHK Spring Co., Ltd.Inventors: Jun Futakuchiya, Takashi Masaki, Shinya Miyaji, Hidenori Ishiwata
