Patent number: 9902513Abstract: A hopper having a passage through which a medicine can be passed downward is provided. The hopper is configured to cause rippling vibration on an inner surface thereof by an external force applied to the hopper. According to this configuration, the rippling vibration applies a force to the medicine to separate the medicine away from the inner surface of the hopper. This prevents the medicine from easily adhering to the hopper.Type: GrantFiled: February 18, 2016Date of Patent: February 27, 2018Assignee: Takazono Technology IncorporatedInventor: Kenji Kawata

Patent number: 9561887Abstract: A hopper having a passage through which a medicine can be passed downward is provided. A part of a lower portion of the hopper is a deformable portion having flexibility, and the deformable portion is deformable so as to open and close the passage. According to this configuration, the deformable portion that is a part of the hopper is deformed to open and close the passage. Thus, there is no portion such as an opening and closing plate on which the medicine remains, thereby preventing a gap in which the medicine remains from being formed in the hopper, and preventing the medicine from easily remaining in the hopper.Type: GrantFiled: September 1, 2011Date of Patent: February 7, 2017Assignee: Takazono Technology IncorporatedInventor: Kenji Kawata

Patent number: 9393179Abstract: An object of the present invention is to provide a medicine supply apparatus including a hopper in which medicine is not likely to remain. The medicine supply apparatus of the present invention includes a hopper and a deforming operation portion. A part of a lower portion of the hopper is configured as a deformable portion having flexibility. The deformable portion is deformable so as to open and close a passage. The deforming operation portion deforms the deformable portion to thereby open and close the passage, and applies vibrations to the deformable portion. The medicine adhering to an inner surface of the deformable portion is processed by the vibrations.Type: GrantFiled: October 16, 2012Date of Patent: July 19, 2016Assignee: Takazono Technology IncorporatedInventor: Kenji Kawata

Patent number: 8716678Abstract: A method is provided for manufacturing a microstructure on a substrate in which the substrate has thereon linear and parallel atomic steps. The microstructure includes linear elements that extend along the atomic steps. The method includes a step for preparing a substrate having atomic steps on its surface and a step for applying linear elements onto the substrate. Each linear element is oriented to extend along one of the atomic steps, with the result that a microstructure in which the linear elements extend along the atomic steps is formed on the substrate. The substrate can be prepared by subjecting a silicon carbide substrate, a sapphire substrate, or a zinc oxide substrate to an ultrasmoothing process. As the linear elements, peptide fibers can be employed that are made up of peptide molecules that form ?-sheet structures.Type: GrantFiled: February 16, 2009Date of Patent: May 6, 2014Assignee: Fujimi IncorporatedInventors: Osamu Eryu, Takatoshi Kinoshita, Kenji Kawata, Kazutoshi Hotta

Patent number: 7616100Abstract: An antitheft system for use in a vehicle includes an angle sensor for outputting a signal that represents a body angle of the vehicle, an angle variation determination unit for determining an angle variation of the body angle at a predetermined interval based on the signal outputted from the angle sensor, a theft detection unit for determining whether the vehicle is in a theft condition based on a comparison of the angle variation with a predetermined value, and a temperature sensor for sensing temperature of the angle sensor. The angle variation determination unit compensates the signal from the angle sensor based on the temperature of the angle sensor sensed by the temperature sensor before determining the angle variation.Type: GrantFiled: August 8, 2006Date of Patent: November 10, 2009Assignee: DENSO CORPORATIONInventor: Kenji Kawata

Patent number: 5467203Abstract: As image data is received by the facsimile machine, it is stored in the form of plural lines. A line which contains black pixels more than a predetermined number is taken as a drawing line (image-carrying line or effective line). All the image data lines are scanned from the top to the bottom to find a top image-carrying line or top effective line and a bottom image-carrying line or bottom effective line and the number of the lines from the top effective line to the bottom effective line is calculated as the number of the effective lines of sending sheet. If the number of the effective lines of the sending sheet exceeds the number of recording lines of a recording sheet, the image data is reduced with a reduction ratio which is determined by the number of the recording lines and the number of the effective lines.Type: GrantFiled: August 28, 1992Date of Patent: November 14, 1995Assignee: Murata Kikai Kabushiki KaishaInventor: Kenji Kawata
