Patent number: 9133934Abstract: A seal cap is formed of an elastically deformable material and includes a cap portion that closes a passage port, a grip portion that can be grasped, and a joining portion which integrally joins the cap portion and the grip portion. The joining portion has a bolt insertion portion through which a stud bolt can be inserted. The grip portion is formed on a side of the bolt insertion portion that corresponds to the cap portion. The joining portion is formed between the bolt insertion portion and the cap portion and is provided with a cut which communicates with the bolt insertion portion. The cut allows the cap portion to be bent and deformed by the contact between the cap portion and the stud bolt during pulling out of the seal cap from a connection portion.Type: GrantFiled: September 20, 2011Date of Patent: September 15, 2015Assignee: KABUSHIKI KAISHA TOYOTA JIDOSHOKKIInventors: Masato Yoneda, Hiroyuki Nagai, Masaru Hamasaki

Patent number: 8602064Abstract: A fluid passage closure system in a compressor includes a fluid passage, a seal cap unit and a flow space. The fluid passage formed in the housing of the compressor includes a large-diameter and the small-diameter passages, a step formed between the large-diameter and the small-diameter passages and a flat portion formed in the step. The large-diameter passage is formed on the opening side of the fluid passage and connected to the small-diameter passage. The seal cap unit closing the fluid passage includes a flat sealing surface and a press-contact surface. The flat sealing surface is in contact with the flat portion to close the fluid passage. The press-contact surface is formed to be pressed against the peripheral wall surface so that the seal cap unit is kept in the fluid passage. The flow space is formed between the press-contact surface and the peripheral wall surface.Type: GrantFiled: February 6, 2012Date of Patent: December 10, 2013Assignee: Kabushiki Kaisha Toyota JidoshokkiInventors: Masato Yoneda, Hiroyuki Nagai, Atsushi Shimizu

Patent number: 7567278Abstract: A circuit for detecting a pixel defect includes the following elements. A first defect detector compares a level of a target pixel signal on one horizontal pixel signal line of pixel signals input from an imaging device with levels of a plurality of surrounding pixel signals of the target pixel signal to determine whether or not a pixel corresponding to the target pixel signal is a possible defective pixel according to a comparison result. A second defect detector calculates a correlation between the detected possible defective pixel signal and the surrounding pixel signals to determines whether or not the possible defective pixel is a pseudo-defective pixel. A third defect detector performs the detection of the detected possible defective pixel on pixel signals in a predetermined number of frames, and determines that the pseudo-defective pixel is a true defective pixel when the pseudo-defective pixel is detected in all frames.Type: GrantFiled: December 8, 2005Date of Patent: July 28, 2009Assignee: Sony CorporationInventor: Masato Yoneda

Patent number: 7103709Abstract: Each CAM of a retrieving device according to the present invention has one output terminal and four input terminals. One of the four input terminals is pulled down to input a logical value 0 at all times. The other three of the input terminals are connected to output terminals of other CAMs. Prior to starting auto-store processing, each CAM recognizes a terminal that inputs an output from a CAM having a higher priority than the CAM itself on the basis of an input signal [ABCD] including initial signals and the logical value 0 from the input terminals. On the basis of a result of the recognition, each CAM performs auto-store processing. Thereby auto-store processing can be readily performed by a plurality of CAMs.Type: GrantFiled: April 21, 2004Date of Patent: September 5, 2006Assignee: Sony CorporationInventors: Hiroshi Yoshizawa, Masato Yoneda
