Patent number: 9350462Abstract: This specification discloses an excellent communication device of a field coupling type that increases field coupling efficiency between electrodes and realizes a small-sized device. This specification also discloses a communication system and an electrode. A communication device 100 includes: a first resonant circuit 121 connected in series to an electrode unit 110 formed with two conductor plates; and a second resonant circuit 122 connected in parallel to the electrode unit 110 and the first resonant circuit 121, which are connected in series. The constant of a resonant circuit is determined so that the voltage V2 to be applied to the electrode unit 110 becomes higher than the voltage V1 to be applied to the electrode unit 110 and the first resonant circuit 121 connected in series. In this manner, a field coupling electrode that has a very high coupling strength at a target frequency is obtained.Type: GrantFiled: October 18, 2013Date of Patent: May 24, 2016Assignee: Sony CorporationInventors: Yoshihiro Kato, Koichi Ito, Noriyuki Mukai, Masaya Takano, Takeshi Maeda, Seigo Fukunaga

Publication number: 20150232232Abstract: The purpose of the present invention is to provide a revolutionary coffee storage container of exceedingly high commercial value. This coffee storage container is designed for storing coffee (20), and has: a container body (1) in which an inner cylinder (3) made of metal is arranged within an outer cylinder (2) with a space (S) therebetween, the space (S) between the outer cylinder (2) and the inner cylinder (3) functioning as a vacuum insulation space; a closure body (4) for providing closure to an opening (1b) of the container body (1); and a coffee pouring cup body (5) that fits about the closure body (4) once the opening (1b) of the container body (1) has been closed by the closure body (4). An inner surface portion (1a) of the container body (1) that comes into contact with the coffee (20), a section of the closure body (4) that comes into contact with the coffee (20), and an inner surface portion (5a) of the coffee pouring cup body (5) are constituted by inert synthetic resin.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 20, 2014Publication date: August 20, 2015Applicant: Seven . seven Co., Ltd.Inventors: Shuichi SHIBUKI, Tadahiro SHIMBO, Masaya TAKANO

Patent number: 8466791Abstract: A communication device includes a conductor plane, a first loop antenna disposed on one surface of the conductor plane via a first magnetic sheet, a second loop antenna being in a loop direction opposite to a loop direction of the first loop antenna and having an opening structure approximately identical in shape to the first loop antenna, the second loop antenna being disposed on another surface of the conductor plane via a second magnetic sheet so as to be roughly superposed on the first loop antenna, and a communication circuit processing a communication signal transmitted and received by the first and second loop antennas.Type: GrantFiled: May 11, 2010Date of Patent: June 18, 2013Assignee: Sony CorporationInventors: Tetsuro Goto, Kenichi Kabasawa, Masaya Takano, Kazuya Hirano

Patent number: 7903760Abstract: A mixer circuit accumulates I signal (digital signal of first channel) having its band limited by low-pass filter and first carrier signal to perform two-phase shift keying modulation thereon. An adder adds fundamental-wave component of bit clock signal BCK into Q signal (digital signal of second channel) having its band limited by the another low-pass filter to obtain a resultant added-up signal. Another mixer circuit accumulates the added-up signal and second carrier signal to perform two-phase shift keying modulation thereon. Output signals of the mixer circuits are input to another adder so that they may be added up to obtain a QPSK signal as a modulated quadrature signal. The QPSK signal contains frequency signals whose frequencies are a sum of bit clock frequency and carrier frequency and a difference between them. When demodulating, the carrier signal and the bit clock signal are reproduced using the frequency signals.Type: GrantFiled: October 8, 2004Date of Patent: March 8, 2011Assignee: Sony CorporationInventors: Kazuji Sasaki, Masaya Takano
