Patent number: 8149184Abstract: The initial color temperature setting can change when a plasma display panel (PDP) is driven for a long period of time. One cause is due to the non-uniform deterioration of red, green, and blue fluorescent materials due to the ultraviolet rays discharged during operation of the panel. Color temperature correction is performed by setting the numbers of discharge pulses for fluorescent materials in accordance with a discharge pulse number correction curve with respect to the cumulative elapsed driven time of the PDP.Type: GrantFiled: March 4, 2009Date of Patent: April 3, 2012Assignee: Hitachi, Ltd.Inventors: Hidenao Kubota, Hirofumi Sakamoto, Masahiko Umeda, Masatoshi Sudo

Patent number: 5669439Abstract: According to the present invention, an outlet tank and an inlet tank are formed in one end side of a plurality of connecting bodies and the bent portions are formed in other end side of the connecting bodies. The plurality of the connecting bodies is formed by a pair of pressed plates and is laminated to form a predetermined space in which the fin is installed, thus creating a laminated type heat exchanger. The bent portions are formed in a bottom end portion of the connecting body, and in the remaining bottom end portion of the surface, there is formed an extending portion which extends to a side lower than the bottom end portion of the fin. Therefore, even when the condensed water becomes a water drop between the surface of the connecting body and the surface of the fin, the drop does not stay for a long time and is efficiently drained by the extending portion downwardly.Type: GrantFiled: April 19, 1996Date of Patent: September 23, 1997Assignee: Nippondenso Co., Ltd.Inventors: Etsuo Hasegawa, Masatoshi Sudo, Toshiya Nagasawa, Keiichi Yoshii

Patent number: 5653283Abstract: According to the present invention, the tube element includes a connecting portion for connecting the pair of core plates at an upstream air side, an extending portion extending from each of the connecting portions of the core plate at the upstream air side and having a fin connecting portion connected to the corrugated fin, and a further upstream end portion of the extending portion located at an upstream side of the fin connecting portion which is located away from the corrugated fin to form a predetermined gap with the corrugated fin so as to communicate with the air passage. The extending portion including the fin connecting portion closes the whole space between the tube elements and the adjacent corrugated fins at the more upstream air side of the refrigerant passage, so that the air entering between the tube elements and the adjacent corrugated fins can be substantially shut off.Type: GrantFiled: April 19, 1996Date of Patent: August 5, 1997Assignee: Nippondenso Co., Ltd.Inventors: Keiichi Yoshii, Etsuo Hasegawa, Toshiya Nagasawa, Masatoshi Sudo

Patent number: 4915163Abstract: A plate type heat exchanger has a plurality of tube units and a plurality of corrugated fins. Each of the tube units is formed by a pair of plates, namely a pair of plates are connected to each other by a brazing material at a connecting portion at an outer periphery of the plate and a center rib at a center axis of the plate. The center rib has an enlarged portion at the top end thereof in order to gather the molten brazing material toward the enlarged portion. The brazing at the center rib is started from the enlarged portion. Therefore a brazing defect is prevented from occurring at the top end of the center rib. Since the tube unit is effectively connected by brazing, the tube unit of the present invention has enough anti-pressure strength.Type: GrantFiled: August 9, 1988Date of Patent: April 10, 1990Assignee: Nippondenso Co., Ltd.Inventors: Ken Matsunaga, Yoshiyuki Yamauchi, Masatoshi Sudo, Masami Ohshita, Kiyomitsu Tsuchiya
