Patent number: 9797362Abstract: A starter control apparatus outputs a conduction command to a starter relay when an engine start request is generated and starts driving of a starter. After the engine is started, when a condition for executing the failure diagnosis processing is satisfied, the starter control apparatus outputs a non-conduction command to a starter cutoff relay and diagnoses the starter cutoff relay for failure. The starter control apparatus determines that the starter cutoff relay is normal when a voltage applied to the starter after notification of the non-conduction command to the starter cutoff relay does not exceed a predetermined voltage. The starter control apparatus determines that the starter cutoff relay is abnormal when the voltage applied to the starter exceeds the predetermined voltage.Type: GrantFiled: May 9, 2016Date of Patent: October 24, 2017Assignee: DENSO CORPORATIONInventor: Kouji Nagata

Patent number: 8320014Abstract: The present invention prevents necessary image data from deviating from a print medium and thereby executes a good printing operation without a loss of necessary image data. For this purpose, when performing a so-called marginless printing, in which ink is applied also to an area overrunning from the print medium to form an image without leaving a blank margin at edges of the print medium, the overrunning widths of the area are made adjustable.Type: GrantFiled: July 18, 2011Date of Patent: November 27, 2012Assignee: Canon Kabushiki KaishaInventor: Kouji Nagata

Patent number: 8306688Abstract: An electronic control unit performs a process that stores into a buffer selected diagnostic trouble codes (DTC) currently in a volatile trouble code storage by selecting, from among multiple codes, a code that is to be saved in an EEPROM, when an ignition switch of a vehicle is turned off. Further, the DTC stored in the buffer is written in the EEPROM. If the electronic control unit receives, from a scan tool, a command that instructs erasure of the DTC in the volatile trouble code storage, the above-described process is performed before erasing the DTC from the volatile trouble code storage.Type: GrantFiled: July 2, 2009Date of Patent: November 6, 2012Assignee: Denso CorporationInventors: Kouji Nagata, Kaname Kura

Publication number: 20070062952Abstract: An opening structure of a container easily performs the opening and the resealing. The container continuously and integrally forms a cap portion and a pouring portion. Due to a radial deformation of an easy-to-break portion which is present in a boundary between the cap portion and the pouring portion, the easy-to-break portion is broken and hence the cap portion and the pouring portion are separated, thus opening the container. A manufacturing method for the novel container is also provided.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 25, 2004Publication date: March 22, 2007Applicant: TOYO SEIKAN KAISHA., LTD.Inventors: Tomomi Kobayashi, Kenich Takao, Kouji Nagata

Publication number: 20050205575Abstract: A task of the present invention is to provide a container sealing structure capable of easily and surely unsealing a container and hygienically maintaining an opening portion at the time of resealing, and a method of manufacturing the sealing structure. The container sealing structure of the present invention is configured by integrally forming a pouring portion (12) and a cap portion (16). An easily breakable portion (15) is formed in the container sealing structure. The pouring portion (12) and the cap portion (16) includes an intermediate wall (13) which is formed by bending downwardly from an upper end portion of an inner wall (11) and an outer wall (14) which is formed by bending upwardly from a lower end portion of the intermediate wall (13).Type: ApplicationFiled: December 25, 2002Publication date: September 22, 2005Applicant: Toyo Seikan Kasha , Ltd.Inventors: Tomomi Kobayashi, Kenichi Takao, Kouji Nagata, Wataru Kurokawa, Kazuhiko Tsukada

Patent number: 4899277Abstract: A bore hole scanner includes a light projecting device for projecting a light beam toward a bore hole wall surface. A conical mirror is arranged coaxially with respect to a sonde for condensing light reflected from the bore hole wall surface. An image forming device is arranged in front of the conical mirror. A photoelectric transducing device converts a light signal into an electric signal. Optical fibers introduce an image, which is formed on concentric circles by the image forming device to the photoelectric transducing device. A data processing device scans and extracts signals from the photoelectric transducing device and generates and processes image data indicative of the bore hole wall surface. A sonde position detecting device detects the orientation and position of the sonde. Rotating portions are dispensed with by using the conical mirror and optical fibers, and a linear CCD array can be used as the photoelectric transducing device.Type: GrantFiled: October 28, 1988Date of Patent: February 6, 1990Assignees: Shimizu Construction Co., Ltd., Core Inc.Inventors: Yunosuke Iizuka, Takashi Ishii, Yoshihiro Mukawa, Kouji Nagata, Yoshitaka Matsumoto, Osamu Murakami
