Publication number: 20100054102Abstract: A laser driving device includes a storage unit that stores signal patterns for recording-waveform control representing level information of each divided driving signal to drive a laser device on a space and a mark based on the divided driving signals. Also, it includes a pulse generator that generates the reference pulse and the switching pulse based on a first transmission signal and a second transmission signal. The first transmission signal contains timing information for acquiring a reference pulse that represents a timing of repetitively switching between the space and the mark. The second transmission signal contains timing information for acquiring a switch pulse that represents a timing of switching the signals. Among level information for each of the signals in the storage, reference level information is read together with the reference pulse. Other level information after the reference level information is sequentially read for each switching pulse.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 11, 2009Publication date: March 4, 2010Applicant: Sony CorporationInventors: Tsutomu Kurihara, Motoi Kimura, Koichi Yokoyama, Toshiaki Yoshihara

Patent number: 6816095Abstract: A high speed, high accuracy parallel/serial conversion circuit, wherein a PLL circuit 50 receives as input and locks a clock CLK, and supplies the same to different parts of an apparatus; the PLL circuit 50 controls a 16-tap ring oscillator 60 to shift the phase of a clock frequency-locked to a reference clock so as to generate 32 types of phase shift pulses CK0 to CK31 shifted in phase by increments of {fraction (1/32)} of the clock width from the reference clock by the differential outputs of the 16 taps and supplies the same to a P/S conversion circuit 70; and the P/S conversion circuit 70 generates fine width pulses with {fraction (1/32)} pulse widths based on the 32 types of phase shift pulses shifted in phase by increments of {fraction (1/32)}. Further, the fine width pulses are used to convert parallel signals output from a RAM 30 and a decoder 40 to a serial signal.Type: GrantFiled: May 20, 2003Date of Patent: November 9, 2004Assignee: Sony CorporationInventors: Koichi Yokoyama, Katsunori Sato

Patent number: 5366366Abstract: A downsized screw driving gear supports a heavy reaction force from a screw used in preplasticization type injection molding machine. Motor rotation is directly transmitted to the screw during plasticizing by a piston member. Reaction forces from the screw are supported with a thrust bearing arranged in a hydraulic chamber, while the radial load of the piston member is supported with bushes. Hydraulic pressure is supplied to the hydraulic chamber in the injection process to advance the screw with the piston member, disconnecting a path to the injection chamber. Oil supplied from the hydraulic chamber immerses the thrust bearing and penetrates to the sliding faces of the bushes.Type: GrantFiled: June 28, 1993Date of Patent: November 22, 1994Assignee: Sodick Co., Ltd.Inventor: Koichi Yokoyama

Patent number: 5364255Abstract: Flanges are provided on a screw casing and a cylinder member of a screw driving unit in opposition to each other, and coupled with each other with fastening bolts. An adjusting ring is screwed onto the outer circumference of one of the flanges. The screw member is moved together with the ring in a backward direction until the end of the screw hits. The ring is rotated thereafter to bring it into contact with a side of the other flange, where a datum position is established. The cylinder member is then retreated an adequate amount in this state, and the ring is moved by a specified quantity. The specified quantity, represents the stroke quantity and bolts are fastened so that the ring comes into contact with the side of the other flange. The screw is thereby adjusted in its stroke.Type: GrantFiled: July 14, 1993Date of Patent: November 15, 1994Assignee: Sodick Co., Ltd.Inventor: Koichi Yokoyama
