Patent number: 6866352Abstract: A shelf apparatus for a showcase includes a shelf plate; a shelf support for supporting the shelf plate; and a connecting member having a movable portion and a fixed portion connected to the shelf plate and the shelf support, respectively. The movable portion has a hard locking member, and the shelf support has a concave portion which can lock and unlock the locking member. When the shelf plate is held on the shelf supports, the locking member is locked to the concave portion. When commodities are resupplied onto the shelf plate, the locking member is unlocked from the concave portion. Thereby, the movable portion of the connecting member is detached from the shelf support. Then, the shelf plate is pulled out forward and commodities are resupplied onto the pulled-out shelf plate.Type: GrantFiled: March 6, 2003Date of Patent: March 15, 2005Assignee: Sanden Corp.Inventors: Kiyoshi Fujii, Nobuo Kanbayashi, Akifumi Kanouchi, Shoichi Yamazaki

Patent number: 6837856Abstract: An ultrasonic search unit includes a piezoelectric element for transmitting/receiving an ultrasonic wave, and an acoustic matching layer for transmitting the ultrasonic wave transmitted/received by the piezoelectric element to a subject to be measured, wherein the acoustic matching layer is formed of a cured layer obtained by irradiating a resin for optical forming with laser light. It also may be possible that the acoustic matching layer is formed of a plurality of stacked layers, and different fillers are mixed in the respective layers, whereby the acoustic impedance of the respective layers is changed. A liquid resin for optical forming is supplied to a tank, and is cured to a predetermined shape by irradiation with laser light.Type: GrantFiled: May 3, 2002Date of Patent: January 4, 2005Assignee: Matsushita Electric Industrial Co., Ltd.Inventors: Kiyoshi Fujii, Yasushi Koishihara

Publication number: 20030136750Abstract: An object of the present invention is to provide a shelf apparatus for a showcase in which work labor can be lessened and a shelf support can be installed at a proper position easily in performing the work for changing a space between shelves or the number of tiers of shelf. In the shelf apparatus for a showcase including a shelf plate on which commodities are placed, a shelf support for supporting the shelf plate, and a connecting member which connects the shelf plate to the shelf support and enables the shelf plate to slide in the depth direction, either one of the connecting member and the shelf plate has a locking wire, and the other thereof has a locking groove which the locking wire can be locked to and unlocked from. When a space between shelves or the number of tiers of shelf is changed, the locking wire is unlocked from the locking groove, by which the shelf plate is removed from the connecting member and the shelf support, so that the shelf apparatus is separated into two parts.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 21, 2003Publication date: July 24, 2003Applicant: Sanden CorporationInventors: Kiyoshi Fujii, Hiroshi Shimamura

Patent number: 5600159Abstract: A solid state image sensing device has a photoelectric transfer section for transducing incident light into signal charges, at least firs% and second charge transfer paths, a charge transferring section for transferring the signal charges from the photoelectric transfer section to the first path at a first timing and for transferring the signal charges transferred to the first path to the second path at a second timing and a charge supply section for applying bias charges to the signal charges to be transferred from the first to the second path. In the device, bias charges supplied to the first path is transferred to the second path. Signal charges are transferred to the first path and then to the second path. The signal and the bias charges both transferred to the second path are outputted.Type: GrantFiled: December 14, 1994Date of Patent: February 4, 1997Assignee: Kabushiki Kaisha ToshibaInventors: Makoto Monoi, Kenji Suzuki, Kiyoshi Fujii

Patent number: 5291786Abstract: An ultrasonic microscope of this invention generates a transmission signal from a transmission timing circuit, converts this transmission signal into an ultrasonic pulse, radiates the ultrasonic pulse on a sample, receives an echo from the sample, and generates an electrical echo signal corresponding to the echo. This echo signal is distributed by a distributor to generate a plurality of echo signals. The plurality of echo signals are input to a delay circuit and a gate timing signal generator. The gate timing signal generator generates a gate timing signal with reference to an echo signal exceeding a threshold value. A first gate signal generator generates a first gate signal for determining a first gate period with reference to the transmission timing of the transmission signal. The first gate signal is input to a second gate signal generator.Type: GrantFiled: December 18, 1991Date of Patent: March 8, 1994Assignee: Olympus Optical Co., Ltd.Inventors: Mitsumori Hayashida, Kiyoshi Fujii
