Patents by Inventor Hiroki Yuzawa

Hiroki Yuzawa 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: 10850340
    Abstract: In a method and device for performing welding, after the welding current reaches a first current value during a short circuit, the feeding of the welding wire is stopped, slowed down, or moved backward. As a result, the opening of a short circuit is urged to reduce the frequency at which welding is unnecessarily interrupted by an overcurrent protection function. This achieves high weld quality such as the absence of welding defects, and high production efficiency.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 10810163
    Abstract: The storage management computer according to the present invention can relatively easily configure a file sharing system for a file system. The storage management computer is provided with a calculation unit that includes at least a microprocessor and a communication interface circuit which communicates with a storage system, and the storage system is provided with a plurality of first pools for storing file data, and a plurality of second pools for storing block data corresponding to the file data. The calculation unit selects, from among the plurality of first pools, a predetermined first pool associated with one of the plurality of second pools, then selects a predetermined file system associated with the selected predetermined first pool, and configures a file sharing system for the selected predetermined file system.

  • Patent number: 8502114
    Abstract: An AC pulse arc welding method of the present invention sets an appropriate AC frequency based on a wire feed rate and a polarity ratio when the polarity ratio is changed without changing the wire feed rate to control a heat input to a base material, and sets an appropriate straight polarity current value necessary for one drop per pulse from the polarity ratio and the AC frequency in AC pulse welding. The method makes it possible to achieve appropriate AC pulse welding by setting the polarity ratio, and to easily set the welding conditions.
