Patent number: 8666220Abstract: A recording/reproducing apparatus includes an operating section having dual functions depending on being in an image capture mode or in a reproduction mode respectively. While one of the recording mode and the reproduction mode is being carried out, in response to start of the other mode, a controlling function of the operating section is switched to the function of the other mode, and in response to the completion of the other mode, the function of the operating section is switched to the function of the one mode.Type: GrantFiled: December 6, 2010Date of Patent: March 4, 2014Assignee: Canon Kabushiki KaishaInventor: Katsuyuki Tsukui

Patent number: 7923717Abstract: A switching device has an S (Superconductor)-N (Normal Metal)-S superlattice to control the stream of electrons without any dielectric materials. Each layer of said Superconductor has own terminal. The superlattice spacing is selected based on “Dimensional Crossover Effect”. This device can operate at a high frequency without such energy losses as devices breaking the superconducting state. The limit of the operation frequency in the case of the Nb/Cu superlattice is expected to be in the order of 1018 Hz concerning plasmon loss energy of the normal metals (Cu; in the order of 103 eV).Type: GrantFiled: December 28, 2007Date of Patent: April 12, 2011Inventor: Katsuyuki Tsukui

Patent number: 7522777Abstract: This invention enables deleting and protecting a part of sensed image data in accordance with a situation so as to enable efficient utilization of a finite capacity of a storage medium. To realize this, an image subjected to deletion from the image data stored in a storage medium is selected and displayed in a display unit of a digital camera. If a region of interest (ROI) is set in this image, a user is asked to select the ROI, non-ROI region, or entire image as the deletion target, and the designated region is deleted from the storage medium.Type: GrantFiled: June 14, 2004Date of Patent: April 21, 2009Assignee: Canon Kabushiki KaishaInventor: Katsuyuki Tsukui

Patent number: 7057846Abstract: A recording and reproducing apparatus includes a guide post for pulling out a tape-shaped recording medium from a cassette and wrapping the tape-shaped recording medium around a rotary drum, a guide base which supports the guide post, the guide base being movable between a first position in which the cassette can be loaded and a second position in which a recording or reproducing action can be performed with the tape-shaped recording medium wrapped around the rotary drum at a predetermined angle, and an elastic member for, after the guide base moves from the first position to the second position, urging the guide base toward the second position to position the guide base at the second position. The elastic member is disposed on an upper surface of the guide base.Type: GrantFiled: June 16, 2003Date of Patent: June 6, 2006Assignee: Canon Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Hidetoshi Matsuoka, Katsuyuki Tsukui

Patent number: 5811319Abstract: A surface of a compound semiconductor having at least gallium (Ga) and nitride (N) forms a target for sputtering with inert gas, so that oxide and other attachments are removed therefrom. The sputtering the surface is carried out until a disruption layer is formed which has atomically disordered and bumpy arrangement. Following the sputtering process, metal deposition by sputtering and alloying are carried out under vacuum in the same chamber used for the sputtering processes. As a result, the contact resistance between the surface layer and the deposited electrode layer is decreased.Type: GrantFiled: March 26, 1996Date of Patent: September 22, 1998Assignee: Toyoda Gosei Co., Ltd.Inventors: Masayoshi Koike, Seiji Nagai, Shiro Yamasaki, Masanori Murakami, Katsuyuki Tsukui, Hidenori Ishikawa
