Patent number: 7027372Abstract: When an audio signal and music piece name information are recorded onto a CD-R, timing for inputting the music piece name information is not restricted to timing just before “finalize”. An ID is allocated to the CD-R inserted into a recorder and written into a PMA and a memory. The audio signal is recorded into a PGA on the CD-R. The music piece name information and the like are inputted by text data and stored into the memory in correspondence to the ID. Upon “finalize”, the text data is read out from the memory and written as TOC information into a lead-in on the CD-R. In case of ejecting the CD-R without finalizing, a track number, start time, and end time are recorded into the PMA. The ID and the text data are held in the memory. When this CD-R is subsequently inserted, they can be read out from the memory on the basis of the ID. Before “finalize”, the text data which is recorded as TOC information can be inputted anytime.Type: GrantFiled: March 10, 2005Date of Patent: April 11, 2006Assignee: Sony CorporationInventor: Kenichi Nozaki

Patent number: 6811199Abstract: The present invention provides a bracket construction for a seat striker, which can firmly hold the seat striker at a position separated from the vehicle body side. A latch 18 having a pin 18a is provided in a folding type squab 10, and a slot 10b is formed in a back face 10a thereof. A bracket 1 is installed to a side panel 13 by bolting. The bracket 1 has a bracket body 2 and a seat striker 3 that is installed to the bracket body 2 so as to be capable of being engaged with the latch 18. The bracket body 2 has a shape such as to project toward the vehicle inside from an outside end 10c of the squab 10 and be long in the vehicle longitudinal direction. The bracket body 2 consists of an upper bracket 2a and a lower bracket 2b. The bracket body 2 has a seat belt guide portion 5, and further has an installation portion for a trim 4 which covers the bracket body 2.Type: GrantFiled: June 6, 2003Date of Patent: November 2, 2004Assignee: Suzuki Motor CorporationInventor: Kenichi Nozaki
