Patent number: 7787342Abstract: The present invention provides an information processing unit with improved operability. A reading section (10) reads information recorded in an optical disk, and outputs a read signal. A DSP (20) detects the read signal and processes to a reproducible form. A quick return button selects at least one of the processing details for starting or stopping the information processing and for changing a reproducing position of the information. When a reproducing state changing section (120) recognizes a change instruction for changing a processing state for the information, a reproduction control section (52) changes the processing state by the DSP 20 based on the processing details selected with the quick return button.Type: GrantFiled: August 22, 2003Date of Patent: August 31, 2010Assignee: Pioneer CorporationInventors: Youichi Yamada, Tomohiko Kimura, Hiroyuki Isobe, Koichiro Sakata

Patent number: 7476913Abstract: A light emitting device has a cup portion with a bottom surface opening, and one electrode of a light emitting element is connected to the cup portion. The other electrode of the light emitting element is connected to a lead set up from an inner space to outside the cup portion using the opening of the cup portion. Each electrode and lead of the light emitting device can be electrically connected without bonding wires. This prevents shadows or light unevenness from reflecting the shape of the bonding wire, thereby enhancing light-emission efficiency. As an alternative to setting up the lead from inside to the outside of the cup portion, the lead existing outside the cup portion and the other electrode are electrically connected via the bonding wire through the cup portion's opening. Thus, light outputted outside of the light emitting device is not intercepted by the bonding wire.Type: GrantFiled: August 10, 2004Date of Patent: January 13, 2009Assignees: Renesas Technology Corp., Hitachi Cable Precision Co., Ltd., Hitachi Cable, Ltd.Inventors: Hiroyuki Isobe, Gen Murakami, Toshikatsu Hiroe

Patent number: 7394731Abstract: An information playback apparatus is provided to obtain editing effects using an optical disc in the same sense as an analog record disc is manipulated. An audio editing apparatus for playing back an optical disc such as a CD is provided with a rotatable jog dial, detecting device for detecting the amount of rotation of the jog dial, and sensing device for sensing the presence or absence of a pressing force on the jog dial. When the jog dial is rotated while being depressed with a predetermined pressing force, processing for providing sound effects is performed on the playback data to be played back from the optical disc in response to the amount of rotation detected by the detecting device. It is thereby possible to provide the same feeling of operation as provided by rotating an analog record disc through hand operations to produce playback sounds.Type: GrantFiled: April 11, 2006Date of Patent: July 1, 2008Assignee: Pioneer CorporationInventors: Yoichi Yamada, Tomohiko Kimura, Koichiro Sakata, Takeaki Funada, Hiroyuki Isobe, Junichi Takagaki, Tetsuya Kikuchi, Gen Inoshita, Ko Atsumi
