Publication number: 20140159300Abstract: The present invention provides a medium separating and supplying mechanism that may reduce the causes of jams and errors on a conveyance path and so forth from supply onward. Namely, by making the skew angle of a medium less than a limit angle ?max, at which skewing is regard to increase, when the medium reaches a gate portion, the present invention may prevent the medium from rotating at an overlap point in a direction in which the skew angle is increased, which occurs as a result of the medium reaching the overlap point.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 20, 2012Publication date: June 12, 2014Inventors: Masaaki Okamoto, Hiroshi Yokokawa

Patent number: 5703637Abstract: A retina direct display device provides an observer with the display of a plane image or a stereoscopic image. The retina direct display device is, for example, incorporated with an acoustic device to constitute a television receiver. The retina direct display device comprises a visible light conversion means, a retina projection means and an eye movement tracking means. The visible light conversion means converts an input video signal to a beam of visible light. The retina projection means deflects the beam horizontally and vertically so that retinas are raster scanned through pupils of both eyes by the deflected beam. The eye movement tracking means detects the movement direction of the pupils and permits the direction of the beam emitted from the retina projection means to track the movement of the pupils based on the result of the detection.Type: GrantFiled: October 26, 1994Date of Patent: December 30, 1997Assignees: Kinseki Limited, Nippon Hoso KyokaiInventors: Shigeyuki Miyazaki, Hiroshi Yokokawa, Yuichi Ninomiya

Patent number: 5364823Abstract: This invention relates to a method for manufacturing an inorganic porous layered member which can maintain a sufficient distance between layers to show a high degree of heat insulating properties. In the manufacturing method for the inorganic porous layered member according to the present invention, an inorganic layered compound 12 having swelling charecteristics is swelled, and an inorganic pillar and an organic pillar are intercalated to form inorganic compound 16 between layers 14 of the inorganic layered compound 12. Fine gaps are thus formed in a wide range by the intercalation of the inorganic compound 16 between the layers 14 to maintain a sufficient distance between the layers 14, and the inorganic porous layered member 10 having high heat insulating properties is thus produced.Type: GrantFiled: July 17, 1987Date of Patent: November 15, 1994Assignee: Matsushita Electric Works, Ltd.Inventors: Koichi Takahama, Shozo Hirao, Masaru Yokoyama, Takashi Kishimoto, Hiroshi Yokokawa

Patent number: 4339717Abstract: In a nuclear magnetic resonance spectrometer, this invention relates to an improvement of a lock system for stabilizing a magnetic field intensity. It is an object of the present invention to dissolve a low stability by using a conventional voltage control oscillator and a complex operation in the case of varying a reference material for locking. In the present invention, a radio frequency of a high stable reference frequency source is demultiplied by a variable frequency divider so that a frequency modulation or a modulation of the magnetic field is effected by the output thus demultiplied. When the reference material is changed, the operation can easily be made by varying the demultiplication ratio of the variable frequency divider.Type: GrantFiled: August 15, 1979Date of Patent: July 13, 1982Assignee: Hitachi, Ltd.Inventors: Munetaka Tsuda, Hiroshi Yokokawa, Yoshiharu Utsumi

Patent number: 4321537Abstract: In a Fourier transform nuclear magnetic resonance spectrometer, as is known, a pulse modulated radio frequency is applied to a sample placed in a magnetic field, and a free induction decay signal resulting from the above application is Fourier transformed to obtain a nuclear magnetic resonance spectrum. In such a spectrometer, a material having a predetermined resonance peak, for example, tetramethylsilane is used as a reference sample, and the center frequency of the pulse modulated radio frequency is successively varied while maintaining a constant magnetic field intensity. The position of peak of tetramethylsilane in frequency spectra thus obtained is varied with the change of the center frequency. By measuring successively the signal strength of the peak, there can be obtained a frequency characteristic of a receiving system employed in the spectrometer, which is used to obtain correction coefficients of the receiving system.Type: GrantFiled: July 18, 1979Date of Patent: March 23, 1982Assignee: Hitachi, Ltd.Inventors: Hiroshi Yokokawa, Chutetsu Hattori, Masaaki Takeda

Patent number: 4210861Abstract: Continuous high-frequency waves and pulse-like high-frequency waves of the same frequency are selectively applied to a specimen placed in a unidirectional magnetic field, whereby resonance signals and free induction decay signals are selectively produced by the specimen. These signals are detected, and the detected free induction decay signals are Fourier-transformed, so that the continuous wave nuclear gyromagnetic resonance and the Fourier-transformed nuclear gyromagnetic resonance can be selectively measured.Type: GrantFiled: July 14, 1978Date of Patent: July 1, 1980Assignee: Hitachi, Ltd.Inventors: Munetaka Tsuda, Hiroshi Yokokawa, Yoshiharu Utsumi
