Patent number: 5921478Abstract: A dispersion method for uniformly dispersing solid or liquid fine particles in a solvent utilizes a supercritical fluid. A dispersoid of a solid, a liquid or the like is mixed with a solvent, and the resulting mixture is fed to a supercritical vessel. A supercritical solvent is then fed to the supercritical vessel and heated and compressed to a level higher than the critical temperature and critical pressure thereof to convert it to a supercritical fluid. The supercritical fluid and mixture of dispersoid and solvent are mixed together to form a supercritical mixture, which is released to atmospheric pressure in an explosion-crashing tank and subjected to collision within the explosion-crashing tank to efficiently disperse the dispersoid in the solvent.Type: GrantFiled: November 20, 1997Date of Patent: July 13, 1999Assignee: Inoue MFG., Inc.Inventors: Mitsuo Kamiwano, Kazuhiko Nishi, Yoshitaka Inoue

Patent number: 5416497Abstract: A video display control system displays a multicolor animation pattern on a screen of a video display unit. The video display control system is mainly constructed by a video RAM (VRAM) and a video display processor (VDP). The VRAM stores animation pattern data, display position data and at least two color data. The VDP reads these data and makes an animation pattern image displayed in at least two colors at a display position on the screen. The animation pattern image, two colors and display position are determined by the animation pattern data, two color data and display position data. In another video display control system, the VRAM stores at least two sets of animation pattern data, display position data and color data. When displaying two animation patterns, the VDP effects a logical operation on the two color data with respect to the overlapping portion of the two patterns and makes the overlapping portion displayed in a new color corresponding to the operation result.Type: GrantFiled: September 11, 1992Date of Patent: May 16, 1995Assignees: ASCII Corporation, Nippon Gakki Seizo Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Kazuhiko Nishi, Takatoshi Ishii, Ryozo Yamashita, Shigemitsu Yamaoka, Takatoshi Okumura

Patent number: 4812828Abstract: A video display processor (VDP) is connectable to an input control device such as a light pen and a mouse. The VDP comprises a counter circuit which is composed of an X counter and a Y counter. When a mouse mode is selected, X and Y pulse signals are supplied to the X and Y counters so that the contents of the X and Y counters represent the amount of movement of the mouse. When a central processing unit (CPU) connected to the VDP reads the contents of the X and Y counters in this mouse mode, the X and Y counters are reset. When a light pen mode is selected, the X and Y counters effect a count operation of a clock signal generated in the VDP in synchronism with the display of image on a screen so that the contents of the X and Y counters represents X-Y coordinates of a display element which is currently displayed on the screen.Type: GrantFiled: October 7, 1987Date of Patent: March 14, 1989Assignees: ASCII Corporation, Nippon Gakki Seizo Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Kazuhiko Nishi, Takatoshi Ishii, Ryozo Yamashita, Shigemitsu Yamaoka, Takatoshi Okumura

Patent number: 4737772Abstract: A video display processor (VDP) produces a video signal by which a black and white image of an increased gradation can be displayed on a video display unit. The VDP reads from a video RAM (VRAM) either color codes each representative of a color of each display element, or amplitude data representative of amplitudes of a video signal to be reproduced. When displaying an image based on the color codes, the color codes are converted by a color palette circuit into color data each composed of three primary color data, and then supplied to a digital color encoder. The digital color encoder multiplies each of the three color data by predetermined coefficients at proper phase timings to output data representative of three chrominance signals. This output data is summed by an adder circuit and then converted into an analog signal to be supplied to the video display unit as the video signal. When displaying an image based on the amplitude data, the color palette circuit converts the amplitude data into gradation data.Type: GrantFiled: May 29, 1985Date of Patent: April 12, 1988Assignees: Ascii Corporation, Nippon Gakki Seizo Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Kazuhiko Nishi, Takatoshi Ishii, Ryozo Yamashita, Shigemitsu Yamaoka, Takatoshi Okumura
