Keiji Inagaki has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 6890211
    Abstract: A connector holding structure which facilitate an operation of inserting a connector from the bottom surface of a headlining to the top surface thereof and prevents an occurrence of damage of the connector and abnormal noises due to vibrations of the connector. The connector holding structure has an accommodating mechanism fixed onto the top surface of the headlining. The accommodating mechanism comprises an accommodating body extending in a direction departing away from an interior part attaching hole formed in the headlining, and also comprises a guide portion for guiding the connector to a predetermined position in the accommodating body, and a holding member for holding the connector at the predetermined position.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 5129475
    Abstract: A cruise control device is provided with a vehicle speed sensor for detecting the actual vehicle speed, and an electronic controller for controlling the opening of the throttle valve based on the detected vehicle speed, to bring the vehicle speed close to a target vehicle speed. The electronic controller serves to obtain a vehicle speed deviation between the target vehicle speed set by a set switch and the actual vehicle speed, select one of a P control mode, a P/D control mode and a fuzzy control mode corresponding to the magnitude of the vehicle speed deviation, and control the opening of the throttle valve. In addition to these functions, the electronic controller may additionally have the function of estimating a change in the vehicle speed provided that the current opening of the throttle valve is maintained, to obtain a correction value for the vehicle speed so that a corrected vehicle speed corrected by the correction value is used to control the opening of the throttle valve.
