Patent number: 10688594Abstract: Provided is a device for assembling a fuel supply pipe of which a joint portion between a pipe body and a short cylindrical member has a high strength and which has high anti-corrosion performance. Specifically, while a laser beam in a defocused state is being emitted to impinge on an end portion of the pipe body that overlaps the short cylindrical member, the pipe body and the short cylindrical member are rotated through one complete turn relative to the laser beam, thereby melting the entire periphery of the end portion. While the laser beam in a defocused state is being emitted to impinge on the melted end portion, the pipe body and the short cylindrical member are rotated through at least one further complete turn, thereby joining by welding the end portion to the outer periphery of the short cylindrical member.Type: GrantFiled: May 22, 2017Date of Patent: June 23, 2020Assignee: KEYLEX CORPORATIONInventors: Toshimasa Yamane, Satoshi Tagawa

Patent number: 10614065Abstract: A facility searching method is provided, including preparing a facility DB storing facility information, converting a received voice data input constituting a voice query into data in a predetermined format, generating a query executable in a facility search based on the converted data, executing the facility search corresponding to the generated query by referencing the facility DB, controlling the facility search to execute a search at a preset search execution timing, and outputting a search result of a searched facility, further including: preparing a search query history DB for storing searched queries in association with a search execution time, specifying a zeroth query searched before the generated query by referencing the search query history DB, determining whether the generated query matches the zeroth query, setting the facility search to an execution waiting state when determining, and canceling the execution waiting state when a new voice query input is received.Type: GrantFiled: October 26, 2016Date of Patent: April 7, 2020Assignee: TOYOTA MAPMASTER INCORPORATEDInventors: Yousuke Ota, Satoshi Tagawa

Publication number: 20070282525Abstract: A CPU of a navigation system in a vehicle executes a determination as to whether there is a passable route to a main road via a passage, which is within a predetermined range from a vehicle's position. This determination is executed based on map data indicating (i) a road network and (ii) information on roads included in the road network. According to a result of the determination, a user of the vehicle is guided in the passable route.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 17, 2007Publication date: December 6, 2007Applicant: DENSO CORPORATIONInventor: Satoshi Tagawa
