Patent number: 6145907Abstract: An upper cross member and a lower cross member are formed integrally together to include a cross member having the shape of a box in cross section, and to the front and rear sides thereof are joined floor panels of an automobile. A trunk room or storage space is formed between right and left side frames to which are joined both ends of the cross member. A lid for opening and closing an opening located in space between a front seat and a center seat of the automobile is pivotally supported by the cross member that forms a portion of the upper wall of the trunk room. The lid is normally locked to the floor panel by a locking mechanism having a grip. The lid when opened is maintained at its open position by anchoring a hook attached to an end of a wire to an engaging portion provided at the back of the front seat.Type: GrantFiled: September 29, 1998Date of Patent: November 14, 2000Assignee: Honda Giken Kogyo Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Kazuhiko Maruyama, Yasuyuki Shibata, Gary Evert

Patent number: 5818833Abstract: Both call switching communication and packet communication are achieved by one personal communication device. Misreceiving in the personal communication device usable in two communication modes is prevented. The personal communication device has a call switching modem and a packet switching modem. The former is used for AMPS network, and the latter for CDPD network. A telecommunication system includes a transmission/receiving terminal and a telecommunication network. The packet switching modem of the terminal awaits the receiving and initial transmission. In this system, the transmission terminal first sends a CDPD packet to the receiving terminal. The receiving terminal is informed of a request for call switching communication. The receiving terminal sends back a response to the request as a CDPD packet, and then a call in the AMPS network is made. Although the personal communication device is usable in the two modes, misreceiving does not occur because awaiting is in a fixed mode.Type: GrantFiled: August 22, 1996Date of Patent: October 6, 1998Assignee: Mitsubishi Denki Kabushiki KaishaInventor: Kazuhiko Maruyama

Patent number: 5708510Abstract: A code conversion system converts an MH code into an arithmetic code. In code conversion system, a template 93 which is necessary for an arithmetic decoding process is obtained in such a manner that MH code words corresponding to the template 93, which are derived from already MH coded reference lines 90 and 91 respectively, are decoded, and the decoded data are shifted in three shift registers A77, B72 or C80. By means of a signal indicative of completion of the arithmetic decoding process in an arithmetic decoding device 71 and a signal indicative of completion of a shift-in process in shift registers A77 and so on, the process of the arithmetic decoding device 71, a decoding process of an MH code word in an MH decoding device and an MH coding process in an MH coding device 74 can be executed simultaneously.Type: GrantFiled: May 16, 1995Date of Patent: January 13, 1998Assignee: Mitsubishi Denki Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Kazuhiko Maruyama, Shigenori Kino, Hisafumi Ozawa
