Patent number: 8964205Abstract: Compressed data transmitted to a print control apparatus includes break data having information on a compressed size and a decompressed size for each page. When the compressed data is transferred to a decompressing unit, the break data is converted to NOP data. Information on the decompressed size included in each break data is provided to a checking unit. During a period in which a decompression process is performed, a decompression flag is turned on. The checking unit obtains the actual decompressed size by counting a period in which the decompression flag is turned on, to check whether the decompression process has been normally performed. During a period in which the decompressing unit and the checking unit perform processes for a certain page, a reading unit reads compressed data for the next page.Type: GrantFiled: January 23, 2013Date of Patent: February 24, 2015Assignee: SCREEN Holdings Co., Ltd.Inventor: Katsuhisa Shimizu

Patent number: 7586630Abstract: The print preview screen has a button enabling the operator to select the direction in which previewed pages are offset. The print preview screen also has a display screen enabling the operator to specify which sheet is displayed in the foreground in front of all other sheets, which sheet is displayed in the background behind all other sheets, and the offset distance between the stacked sheets. The following process is then repeated for each sheet based on these operator specifications. Data for one sheet is written to a 1-sheet display buffer (30). Data for areas not displayed is then erased from the 1-sheet display buffer (30). The data in the 1-sheet display buffer (30) is then transferred to the display data memory (40).Type: GrantFiled: March 3, 2004Date of Patent: September 8, 2009Assignee: Dainippon Screen Mfg. Co., Ltd.Inventor: Katsuhisa Shimizu

Patent number: 6983052Abstract: A voltage supply for a vehicle power amplifier having an audio property compensation function. The voltage supply includes means for setting the voltage supply to a first mode when its power is turned on, means for setting the voltage supply to a second mode when its power is tuned on after setting on/off operation of compensation functions and associated adjustment values in the first mode and turning the power off, and a memory for storing information that determines either the first mode or the second mode when the device power is turned on. The first mode is to supply voltage only to a unit for setting the compensation functions and values, and the second mode is to supply power to the entire vehicle power amplifier.Type: GrantFiled: December 29, 2001Date of Patent: January 3, 2006Assignee: Alpine Electronics, IncInventors: Jason Kemmerer, Michinao Asano, Katsuhisa Shimizu

Patent number: 6929595Abstract: A controller of a printing system creates imposed printing data in which a plurality of printing data for representing a printing image on one side of a sheet printed) are imposed (i.e., data to represent printing images covering a single page of a printed matter). The controller also determines a sequence of output of imposed printing data with respect to a printing apparatus, on the basis of information about pickup of sheets in a bookbinding apparatus, and the controller then outputs the imposed printing data to the printing apparatus in a sequence of output so determined. The printing apparatus prints on the sheets printing images represented by the imposed printing data, in accordance with the sequence inputted from the controller. The sheets printed by the printing apparatus are then picked up and bound. This eliminates that any operator is required to impose a plurality of printing data in consideration of the pickup of sheets in the bookbinding apparatus.Type: GrantFiled: August 13, 2003Date of Patent: August 16, 2005Assignee: Dainippon Screen Mfg.

Patent number: 6823956Abstract: A small vehicle has a frame assembly that is supported by rear wheels. An engine unit is supported by the frame assembly. The engine unit comprises a belt drive assembly. A cooling system delivers and removes cooling air to the belt drive assembly. A storage compartment is positioned below a seat. An exhaust chamber is formed to the rear of the storage compartment. Heated air from the cooling system is exhausted into the chamber prior to being exhausted to the atmosphere. The storage compartment provides a buffer air pocket to reduce the amount of heat transmitted to the seat from the exhaust chamber.Type: GrantFiled: August 9, 2002Date of Patent: November 30, 2004Assignee: Yamaha Hatsudoki Kabushiki KaishaInventor: Katsuhisa Shimizu

Patent number: 6823960Abstract: A small vehicle has an engine mounted to a frame assembly. The engine is mounted by a plurality of engine mounts. The engine mounts are seven times stiffer in compression and tension than in shear. The engine mounts have a block of resilient material that separates a pair of plates. The block can be any shape but a rectangular parallelepiped is preferred. The engine mounts are mounted on cylinders defined with a center axis that extends through a center of gravity of the engine in a direction parallel to an axis about which the crankshaft rotates.Type: GrantFiled: April 9, 2002Date of Patent: November 30, 2004Assignees: Yamaha Hatsudoki, Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Katsuhisa Shimizu, Kazuhiko Izumi
