Patent number: 6269798Abstract: Two A-shaped brackets for clamping three linearly located injectors onto a cylinder head of an engine. Each bracket has one top branch and two foot branches. Two top branches of the two brackets cooperatively press down a center injector among the three, and two pairs of foot branches of the two brackets press down two side injectors, respectively. Each injector has a flange that is pressed down by the two top branches of the two brackets or the two foot branches of the associated bracket Each bracket has an opening at its approximate center so that a screw shaft extending from the cylinder head can penetrate. Each bracket is secured on a cylinder head by tightening a nut over the screw shaft.Type: GrantFiled: November 10, 1999Date of Patent: August 7, 2001Assignee: Isuzu Motors LimitedInventors: Kouichi Takahashi, Hiroyuki Ichikawa

Glass substrate, magnetic recording medium and method of manufacturing the magnetic recording medium
Patent number: 6217980Abstract: In a glass substrate for use in a magnetic recording medium, the glass substrate has a pair of principal surfaces opposite to each other and a peripheral side area contiguous to the principal surfaces. The peripheral side area has a side end wall and intermediate regions between the side end wall and the principal surfaces. In this case, at least one of the intermediate regions and the side end wall is formed by a mirror finished surface which has a surface roughness Ra not greater than 1 &mgr;m or a surface roughness Rmax not greater than 4 &mgr;m. With this structure, no particles are generated from the peripheral side area because the side end surface of the glass substrate is mirror finished. Consequently, reproduction is performed without reproduction errors because of no generation of a thermal asperity and a head crash can be sufficiently avoided because of no projections which might result from the particles.Type: GrantFiled: July 28, 2000Date of Patent: April 17, 2001Assignee: Hoya CorporationInventors: Kouichi Takahashi, Takeshi Kojima, Takemi Miyamoto -

Patent number: 6156368Abstract: A lactose-containing food compositions for infants for improving the stool color of infants closer to that of breast-fed infants, which contains the lactose-containing foods for infants of which the only protein source is substantially cow's milk protein and/or a processed product of cow's milk protein modified to be administered to infants, and raffinose added into the foods for infants at a ratio of at least 0.05% (by weight) in a ready-to-use state. This food composition provides foods for infants more suitable for infant growth (infant formula, protein hydrolyzed formula, formula for low-birth-weight infants, follow-up formula, etc.) without causing a green stool which is observed when administering a conventional food for sucking infants, of which the only protein source is substantially cow's milk protein and/or a processed product of cow's milk protein.Type: GrantFiled: August 19, 1998Date of Patent: December 5, 2000Assignee: Morinaga Milk Industry Co., Ltd.Inventors: Hirotoshi Hayasawa, Kouichi Takahashi, Kazuyoshi Nanba, Takashi Simizu, Kouji Sayama, Yosuke Shimizu, Tsutom Aritsuka, Taizo Nagura

The peripheral side area has a side end wall and intermediate regions between the side end wall and the principal surfaces. In this case, at least one of the intermediate regions and the side end wall is formed by a mirror finished surface which has a surface roughness Ra not greater than 1 .mu.m or a surface roughness Rmax not greater than 4 .mu.m. With this structure, no particles are generated from the peripheral side area because the side end surface of the glass substrate is mirror finished. Consequently, reproduction is performed without reproduction errors because of no generation of a thermal asperity and a head crash can be sufficiently avoided because of no projections which might result from the particles.Type: GrantFiled: September 30, 1997Date of Patent: August 1, 2000Assignee: Hoya CorporationInventors: Kouichi Takahashi, Takeshi Kojima, Takemi Miyamoto

Patent number: 5586713Abstract: A wire bonding method includes the steps of a lowering a capillary tool supplying a wire, restraining the lowering of the capillary tool, and wire bonding the wire to a bonding face. The inertial force of the capillary tool is reduced to almost zero by restraining the lowering of the capillary tool. As a result, wire bonding is performed under proper bonding force since no bonding force is applied to a ball on the tip of wire from the inertial force of the capillary tool. The bonding force is provided using torque control from an electric motor which lowers the capillary tool.Type: GrantFiled: August 30, 1994Date of Patent: December 24, 1996Assignee: Matsushita Electric Industrial Co., Ltd.Inventors: Kiyoshi Arita, Kouichi Takahashi

Patent number: 5522263Abstract: A measuring device 40 measures an ultrasonic waveform provided to an inspection tool 1. A target energy memory section 45 memorizes a target energy consumed by the inspection tool 1 when the inspection tool 1 is depressed on the soldered portion of an electronic component which is properly soldered on a substrate. A reference waveform memory section 44 memorizes a reference waveform corresponding to an ultrasonic waveform measured in a no load condition of the inspection tool 1. A CPU 43 makes a judgement on whether the soldering condition of the soldered portion of the electronic component is acceptable or not based on a difference between the reference waveform and the waveform measured by the measuring device 40.Type: GrantFiled: April 21, 1995Date of Patent: June 4, 1996Assignee: Matsushita Electric Industrial Co., Ltd.Inventors: Kiyoshi Arita, Kouichi Takahashi

Patent number: 5372623Abstract: This invention relates to a method and apparatus for forming a glass container by a press-and-blow system wherein the glass container is provided with a reinforced inner surface. According to the inventive method, fuel gas or a gaseous boron or silicon compound is burnt or otherwise reacted inside a parison after the parison molded in the blank mold is transferred to the finish mold. The burning or other reaction of the fuel gas or gaseous boron or silicon compounds can be carried out just prior to the final blow-molding step in which the parison is blow molded into its final shape, simultaneous with the final blow-molding step, or just after the final blow-molding step. The apparatus of the present invention includes a finish mold provided with a blow head which includes a low selector valve. The low selector valve is open during combustion or other reaction within the parison and is automatically closed during the final blow-molding step by the pressure of the compressed air used in the final blow-molding.Type: GrantFiled: November 20, 1992Date of Patent: December 13, 1994Assignee: Toyo Glass Company, LimitedInventors: Sadao Ueda, Kiyoshi Chiku, Kouichi Takahashi, Kazumoto Ohshiba
