Patent number: 6926352Abstract: A vehicle body 10 includes right and left floor frames 16 and right and left side sills 13, all extending in a longitudinal direction of the vehicle body, are disposed in parallel with each other, and right and left front side frames 11 extend forward from front ends of the right and left floor frames 16. Rear end sections 75 are butted to the side sills 13 such that the rear end sections approach the side sills 13, and are joined to the side sills 13 at longitudinal midpoints of the side sills 13. A cross member 22 spans across the right and left side sills 13 at positions forward of the joint sections and in the vicinity of the joint sections. A joint section 85 at the side sill 13, the floor frame 16, and the cross member 22 is formed into a substantially triangular shape in plan view.Type: GrantFiled: October 12, 2004Date of Patent: August 9, 2005Assignee: Honda Motor Co., Ltd.Inventors: Takeshi Gotou, Shigeto Yasuhara, Hitoshi Katou

Publication number: 20050083809Abstract: CPU 16 and a memory controller 15 increment a writing address from a starting address every time when data is written into a shock memory 14, and increment a reproducing address from a starting address, thereby writing data read out by a pickup 12 to the writing address in the shock memory 14. Further, CPU 16 and the memory controller 15 suspend operation for reading out data from the shock memory 14 until the writing address reaches an accumulation judging address, and start the operation for reading out data from the reproducing address of the shock memory 14 when the writing address has reached the accumulation judging address. Even if a pickup for reading data from a recording medium such as CD is in a transient state from a stop state or from a fast forward state to a reproducing state, generation of a disconnected sound is prevented.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 8, 2004Publication date: April 21, 2005Applicant: CASIO COMPUTER CO., LTD.Inventor: Hitoshi Katou

Patent number: 6158721Abstract: A small flow of a water with a high carbon dioxide content (normally a carbon-dioxide-saturated water) is produced using hollow-fiber membranes, and is uniformly mixed with a large flow of untreated water with constant proportions. Since the hollow-fiber membrane module has a reserve capacity for adding carbon dioxide to the water, the resistivity of the mixed water is maintained at a constant level by maintaining constant proportions of the small and large flows, even if the total flow rate fluctuates due to fluctuations in the rate of water used in a subsequent process. Accordingly, no automated control device is particularly necessary in order to maintain the resistivity at a constant level. Therefore, a compact and simple apparatus can be produced which can operate at a low cost.Type: GrantFiled: November 20, 1998Date of Patent: December 12, 2000Assignee: Dainippon Ink and Chemicals, Inc.Inventors: Hitoshi Katou, Kazunari Sakai, Toshio Kambe, Kazumi Oi

Patent number: 5001960Abstract: An input waveform signal representing, for example, a string oscillation is input to a pitch extraction circuit. The pitch extraction circuit extracts a pitch frequency from the input waveform signal, and this pitch frequency is input to a RAM connected to a CPU. On the other hand, LFO data from an LFO is input to a RAM. The CPU detects the amount of variation of the pitch frequency based on the pitch frequency and coverts the amount of variation of the pitch frequency in accordance with a predetermined conversion function. Thereafter the converted value is added to the LFO data to form musical sound control data for imparting a tremolo effect or a vibrato effect. The musical sound production circuit thereby imparts the above effect to the musical sound to be produced.Type: GrantFiled: June 7, 1989Date of Patent: March 26, 1991Assignee: Casio Computer Co., Ltd.Inventor: Hitoshi Katou

Patent number: 4597470Abstract: A car speaker system which can be used to radiate sound either inside the vehicle in normal driving use or outside the vehicle when the vehicle is parked. A plurality of speaker units are mounted in a closed cabinet and the cabinet is swingably mounted along one side thereof in a casing. In a first swinging position of the cabinet, the speaker mounting surface of the cabinet is flush with the ceiling panel and the speakers radiate sound downwards into the passenger compartment of the vehicle, while in a second swinging position of the cabinet, the speaker mounting surface is perpendicular to the ceiling panel and the speakers face rearwards to radiate sound to the exterior through an open hatchback door.Type: GrantFiled: April 22, 1985Date of Patent: July 1, 1986Assignees: Pioneer Electronic Corporation, Honda Giken Kogyo Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Kazunori Takagi, Hiroshi Soma, Yoshiaki Miyata, Yasuki Motozawa, Hitoshi Katou
