Masanori Inazumi has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 8774426
    Abstract: In a signal processing apparatus, a high frequency level detecting unit detects a level of a high frequency component adjusted with a first adjusting unit, and a first control unit controls a first gain of the adjusting unit according to the level of the high frequency component thus detected. Further, a low frequency level detecting unit detects a level of a low frequency component adjusted with a second adjusting unit. A second control unit controls a second gain according to the level of the high frequency component and the level of the low frequency component thus adjusted, so that a difference between the level of the high frequency component adjusted with the first adjusting unit and the level of the low frequency component adjusted with the second adjusting unit becomes smaller than a specific level determined in advance.

  • Patent number: 7403036
    Abstract: As a data bus control enable signal is set to “H,” a PMOS turns on when a bi-directional bus is not in use (i.e., when a data bus active signal is “L”), so that the bi-directional bus is pulled down through a pull-down resistor. When the data bus control enable signal is set to “L,” the PMOS turns off, thus holding the bi-directional bus in a high-impedance state. By setting the data bus control enable signal in accordance with the specifications of a peripheral device connected thereto, the state of the bi-directional bus can be arbitrarily set when it is inactive.
