Patent number: 6078676Abstract: A compact speaker system is capable of reproducing a heavy bass sound with a superior transition characteristic. A sound radiated from a speaker unit passes through a three-dimensional spiral sound passage formed by a coaxial dual-tube structure provided in front of the speaker unit. In the coaxial dual-tube structure, a spiral partition plate is provided to bridge a gap between an outer tube and an inner tube so as to form the spiral sound passage.Type: GrantFiled: February 8, 1999Date of Patent: June 20, 2000Inventor: Masaaki Takenaka

Patent number: 5989200Abstract: Total consumed calories are indicated in an upper portion of a display. A life activity intensity of each of the past seven days and an average life activity intensity over the same period are indicated by a bar graph in a lower portion of the display. The life activity intensity is classified into rank I (light), rank II (medium), and rank III (a little heavy). A total exercise amount (i.e., total consumed calories) and a life activity intensity are calculated and automatically displayed at the end of a day.Type: GrantFiled: April 2, 1998Date of Patent: November 23, 1999Assignee: Omron CorporationInventors: Manabu Yoshimura, Maki Hasegawa, Tsukasa Hatakenaka, Makoto Tabata, Tsutomu Yamasawa, Masaaki Takenaka, Tomoo Watanabe, Kazuyuki Morita

Patent number: 5802442Abstract: A belt-shaped intermediate transfer member is provided in an electrophotography apparatus, for transferring a toner image formed on a photosensitive drum to a recording medium such as paper. The intermediate transfer member includes at least a base layer and a surface layer provided upon this base layer. The base layer is formed of elastomer, and the surface layer is formed of engineering plastic such as polyether imide, polyether sulfone, polysulfone, or polyphenyl sulphone which have exceptional dimensional stability.Type: GrantFiled: October 16, 1996Date of Patent: September 1, 1998Assignee: Canon Kasei Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Takuya Konno, Masaaki Takenaka, Hitoshi Kakii, Mihoko Oda

Patent number: 5625858Abstract: A contact charging member to be abutted against a charge-receiving member and supplied with a voltage for charging the charge-receiving member is provided. The charging member includes an electroconductive substrate, an elastic layer and a surface layer disposed in lamination. The surface layer comprises crosslinked polymer crosslinked by irradiation with an electron beam. The surface layer may preferably be in the form of a seamless tube formed of the crosslinked polymer. The surface layer crosslinked by electron beam irradiation is less liable to suffer from transfer of a crosslinking agent or a decomposition product thereof to the charge-receiving member. Accordingly, the charging member shows improved durability and stably uniform charging ability suitable for electrophotographic image formation under various environmental conditions.Type: GrantFiled: January 16, 1996Date of Patent: April 29, 1997Assignees: Canon Kabushiki Kaisha, Canon Kasei Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Yoshihiro Hirai, Takashi Yamashita, Masaaki Takenaka

Patent number: 5539706Abstract: A pulsimeter includes a main body having a front face and a back face that is opposite the front face. A finger insertion section, into which a finger may be inserted, is arranged on the back face of the main body. Also included is a pulse sensor which is configured to sense pulses from a user's finger that has been inserted into the finger insertion section. A display, which is arranged on the front face of the main body, is configured to display the pulses sensed by the pulse sensor. The display and the finger insertion section are arranged such that the display may be observed by the user while the user's finger is inserted into the finger insertion section.Type: GrantFiled: February 2, 1995Date of Patent: July 23, 1996Assignee: Omron CorporationInventors: Masaaki Takenaka, Manabu Yoshimura, Tsutomu Yamasawa, Maki Hasegawa, Masatsugu Hirano, Satoshi Nishida
