Patent number: 10272604Abstract: The method for attaching a thin cylindrical element to a mold core is a method for attaching a film-like thin cylindrical element, which is formed in a cylindrical shape having a constant cross-sectional shape, to an outer surface of a mold core in a manner so as to cover the mold core. The method includes pressing the thin cylindrical element onto a tip portion of the mold core; guiding the thin cylindrical element to the base end side of the mold core while ejecting gas into between the mold core and the thin cylindrical element; and attaching the thin cylindrical element to the outer surface of the mold core in a manner so as to cover the mold core.Type: GrantFiled: April 1, 2016Date of Patent: April 30, 2019Assignees: HOSOKAWA YOKO CO., LTD., THE JAPAN STEEL WORKS, LTD.Inventors: Toru Ichikawa, Koki Abe, Shoso Nishida, Kenji Kikukawa

Patent number: 9016512Abstract: A storing container has a container body having a storage part and a bottom, the storage part having an opening in a distal end of the storage part, the bottom closing a basal end portion of the storage part, and a lid closing the opening in the distal end of the storage part. The storage part is made of a plastic film. The bottom is deformable between a first state and a second state. The bottom is convex in a direction from the distal end of the storage part to a basal end of the storage part in the first state.Type: GrantFiled: September 27, 2010Date of Patent: April 28, 2015Assignee: Hosokawa Yoko Co., Ltd.Inventors: Toru Ichikawa, Koki Abe

Patent number: 8904111Abstract: A cache memory includes a CAM with an associativity of n (where n is a natural number) and an SRAM, and storing or reading out corresponding data when a tag address is specified by a CPU connected to the cache memory, the tag address constituted by a first sub-tag address and a second sub-tag address. The cache memory classifies the data, according to the time at which a read request has been made, into at least a first generation which corresponds to a read request made at a recent time and a second generation which corresponds to a read request made at a time which is different from the recent time. The first sub-tag address is managed by the CAM. The second sub-tag address is managed by the SRAM. The cache memory allows a plurality of second sub-tag addresses to be associated with a same first sub-tag address.Type: GrantFiled: October 19, 2010Date of Patent: December 2, 2014Assignee: The University of Electro-CommunicationsInventors: Sho Okabe, Koki Abe

Publication number: 20120181276Abstract: A bottom 8 of a container 1 is elastically deformable between a downwardly convex state and an upwardly convex state. The bottom 8 has strength enough not to be deformed from the upwardly convex state to the downwardly convex state by a weight of granular materials filled in the container 1 and vibrations acting on the granular materials.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 27, 2010Publication date: July 19, 2012Applicant: HOSOKAWA YOKO CO., LTD.Inventors: Toru Ichikawa, Koki Abe

Publication number: 20110253713Abstract: A bottom 6 is disposed on a lower end portion of a body 2 made of a film having barrier properties against gases. The bottom 6 is composed of a shield 7 and a reinforcement 8. The shield 7 is formed from a film having barrier properties against gases. A lower end opening of the body 2 is closed by welding an outer circumferential surface of a short cylindrical part 7A of the shield 7 to an inner circumferential surface of the body 2. An outer circumferential surface of the reinforcement 8 is welded to an inner circumferential surface of the short cylindrical part 7A. The lower end portion of the body 2 is maintained in a predetermined shape by the reinforcement 8.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 24, 2009Publication date: October 20, 2011Applicant: HOSOKAWA YOKO CO., LTD.Inventors: Toru Ichikawa, Masahiro Ito, Kazuhiro Umenaka, Koki Abe
