Patent number: 10821800Abstract: A heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system for a vehicle. The HVAC system includes an HVAC case. The HVAC case has a first inlet and a second inlet. The first inlet is in receipt of airflow from a front blower. The second inlet is in receipt of airflow from a rear blower. A front foot outlet directs airflow towards the feet of occupants at a front of the vehicle. A rear foot outlet directs airflow from the rear blower towards a rear of the vehicle. A rear-to-front airflow control door is movable to direct airflow generated by the rear blower and heated by a heater core through the rear foot outlet, through the front foot outlet, or simultaneously through both the rear foot outlet and the front foot outlet.Type: GrantFiled: November 5, 2018Date of Patent: November 3, 2020Assignees: DENSO International America, Inc., DENSO CORPORATIONInventors: Reilly Mullett, Hiroshi Fukagawa, Hayato Asano

Patent number: 7857041Abstract: A rotary door for a vehicle air conditioner includes a rotation shaft, a door surface that is spaced from an axial line of the rotation shaft radially outside and is rotated integrally with the rotation shaft, and a seal portion provided at a peripheral end portion of the door surface. The door surface has a first door face at a center portion, and a second door face positioned at left and right sides of the first door face. The second door face has a radial dimension from the axial line, that is smaller than that of the first door face so as to form a door outer peripheral space between the seal portion of the second door face and a seal rib of an air conditioning case. Furthermore, the second door face is provided with an air guide plate extending radial outside for guiding air.Type: GrantFiled: February 28, 2007Date of Patent: December 28, 2010Assignee: Denso CorporationInventors: Hiroshi Fukagawa, Kazuya Niimi

Patent number: 5999594Abstract: An electronic mail system for transmitting a voice message from a telephone to a mail terminal equipment using an electronic mail, a destination identifier and a voice message are inputted from the telephone. A voice signal is generated in correspondence to the voice message and the destination identifier and the voice signal are transmitted from the telephone to a transceiver apparatus via a telephone line network. In the transceiver apparatus, a voice file is produced from the voice signal received from the telephone via the telephone line network and then the electronic mail is produced from the voice file and the destination identifier. The electronic mail is transmitted to the mail terminal equipment having a voice output function via a local area network (LAN). The mail terminal equipment reproduces the voice message from the voice file of the electronic mail using the voice output function.Type: GrantFiled: December 14, 1995Date of Patent: December 7, 1999Assignee: NEC CorporationInventors: Naoki Mizoguchi, Hiroshi Fukagawa

Patent number: 5415291Abstract: A casing for containing a plurality of disc cartridges each having an optical disc contained in it includes a first casing main member, a second casing main member and a partitioning member. The first casing main member is provided with a first holding section for resiliently holding one of the disc cartridges. The second casing main member is provided with a second holding section for resiliently holding another disc cartridge. The partitioning member includes a pair of plate-shaped sections and a connecting section interconnecting the plate-shaped sections in parallel with each other. The first and the second casing main members are rotatably arranged between the plate-shaped sections so that the holding sections are directed inwardly and so that the first and second casing main members face each other with the connection section in-between.Type: GrantFiled: August 18, 1993Date of Patent: May 16, 1995Assignee: Sony CorporationInventor: Hiroshi Fukagawa

Patent number: 4713696Abstract: In a picture block retransmission arrangement of a receiver in which a band-compression encoded picture block signal transmitted from a counterpart transmitter is decoded into a reproduced block signal comprising reproduced line signals representative of successive picture lines on a picture block, a checking arrangement (42, 43) checks whether each reproduced line signal is a correct or an incorrect line signal. A retransmission requesting assembly (44, 45, 15, 12) requests the transmitter to again transmit the picture block signal when the incorrect line signals are not less in number than a predetermined number. A substituting assembly (38, 41, 17, 46, 15) substitutes, for each incorrect line signal representative of a particular one of the picture lines, an again reproduced line signal decoded from one of the picture line signals that represents the particular picture line in the picture block signal retransmitted from the transmitter.Type: GrantFiled: October 23, 1986Date of Patent: December 15, 1987Assignee: NEC CorporationInventors: Takashi Ishikawa, Hiroshi Fukagawa, Hiroyasu Matsui

Patent number: 4041401Abstract: A channel selecting and indicating apparatus for a television receiver includes a plurality of channel selecting variable resistors and a cover for the channel selecting variable resistors and having a plurality of channel indicating windows. In the channel selecting and indicating apparatus, channel indicating tabs each indicating the number representing a selected channel are mounted onto the channel indicating windows from behind the cover after the channel selecting variable resistors are preset to desired channels respectively.Type: GrantFiled: July 1, 1975Date of Patent: August 9, 1977Assignee: Sony CorporationInventors: Nobuo Kitamura, Katsuo Takada, Hiroshi Fukagawa
