Patent number: 8116608Abstract: According to one of embodiments, a method and apparatus for reproducing video and audio changes a playback speed for video and a playback speed for audio independently of each other. To provide an apparatus and method for controlling the playback speeds shortly before a period in which the video and audio should better be played back at a normal-speed, thereby to reduce the strange feeling the user may have as the playback changes from the high-speed playback to the normal-speed playback, a video signal and an audio signal are first isolated from a content and then demodulated. A playback speed is set for the video signal modulated, and a playback speed is set for the audio signal modulated. The video signal and the audio signal, each set to a playback speed, are output.Type: GrantFiled: February 18, 2010Date of Patent: February 14, 2012Assignee: Kabushiki Kaisha ToshibaInventors: Michio Yamashita, Koichi Nakazato, Takashi Mori

Patent number: 7858219Abstract: A locking mechanism of a battery pack A is provided with a hook 14 which can be locked to a mounting part B of an object equipment such as an electric tool in a state slid with respect to the mounting part, and operation parts 16 for releasing the lock which are linked to the hook 14, on a case which contains a battery. The hook 14 is urged to move upward by an elastic body in a direction of being locked to the mounting part B. The operation parts 16 are arranged in both side parts of the case within such a range that they can be grasped with a single hand from both sides of a backward end in the sliding direction of the case. When the operation parts 16 are operated from the both sides, the lock between the hook 14 and the mounting part B is released against the urge by the elastic body.Type: GrantFiled: January 11, 2007Date of Patent: December 28, 2010Assignee: Max Co., Ltd.Inventors: Kigen Agehara, Michio Yamashita

Patent number: 7800479Abstract: A method of evaluating laser trimming of a semiconductor device having a thin film resistor is disclosed. The method includes the steps of providing the thin film resistor and laser trimming the thin film resistor by creating a first trim cut. The first trim cut bisects the thin film resistor such that the thin film resistor is divided into a first portion and a second portion. Also, the method involves measuring the insulation resistance of the thin film resistor. In addition, the method involves evaluating the trim cut based on the measured insulation resistance.Type: GrantFiled: November 18, 2008Date of Patent: September 21, 2010Assignee: Denso CorporationInventor: Michio Yamashita
