Patent number: 11942066Abstract: Provided is a transmitter for musical instrument and a mode switching method thereof. A transmitter for musical instrument which is mounted on an electric guitar determines the electric guitar is in a not-in-use state when a continuation time in which a square sum of accelerations output from a three-axis acceleration sensor is smaller than a power-saving threshold value is longer than a power-saving transition time, and the transmitter transitions from a normal mode to an energy-saving mode. On the other hand, when the accelerations in the energy-saving mode becomes equal to or greater than a release threshold value from a state of being smaller than the release threshold value or becomes equal to or smaller than the release threshold value from a state of being greater than the release threshold value, the electric guitar is returned from the energy-saving mode to the normal mode.Type: GrantFiled: January 8, 2018Date of Patent: March 26, 2024Assignee: Roland CorporationInventors: Hiroshi Yamate, Shinji Asakawa, Masato Ueno, Ryo Susami

Patent number: 11688373Abstract: Provided are an electric musical instrument system and a control method thereof. The electric musical instrument system includes a musical sound transmitting means and a musical sound receiving means having a first mode and a second mode that consumes less electric power than the first mode. The musical sound transmitting means has a detecting means for detecting rocking of a musical instrument and a transmitting means that transmits an audio signal emitted from the musical instrument to the musical sound receiving means in the first mode and transmits, when detecting rocking of the musical instruments, detected information to the musical sound receiving means in the second mode. The musical sound receiving means has a controlling means that processes the audio signal received in the first mode and cancels the second mode and changes the mode to the first mode when the detected information is received in the second mode.Type: GrantFiled: April 19, 2018Date of Patent: June 27, 2023Assignee: Roland CorporationInventors: Masato Ueno, Shinji Asakawa, Hiroshi Yamate

Patent number: 6934000Abstract: At terminal portions, the occurrence of electrolytic corrosion can be suppressed and, at the same time, the connection resistance between the terminal portions and other electrodes to be connected is largely reduced. On a liquid-crystal-side surface of one substrate out of a pair of substrates which are arranged to face each other by way of liquid crystal, signal lines, an insulation film covering the signal lines, terminal portions having one portions of the signal lines exposed by forming holes in the insulation film, and conductive oxide films laminated to the terminal portions are formed. The conductive oxide films are laminated to peripheries of the terminal portions except for the centers of the terminal portions.Type: GrantFiled: September 20, 2000Date of Patent: August 23, 2005Assignee: Hitachi, Ltd.Inventors: Masahiro Ishii, Tetsuya Kawamura, Hiroshi Yamate, Masaru Takabatake
