Patent number: 9183178Abstract: Another detection device reduces the time needed for travel motion information about another vehicle obtained by an accurate detector device, and to continues supplement for the other vehicle in the event that detection is lost. All onboard controller is connected to a communication device as a first detector device for outputting the travel motion information about another vehicle, and a sensor as a second detector device. When the difference between first travel motion information from the first detection device and second travel motion information from the second detection device is equal to or less than a predetermined threshold value, and the period of continuous detection of the second travel motion information from the second detection device is equal to or greater than a predetermined threshold value, the controller determines the first travel motion information and the second travel motion information to be travel motion information for the same vehicle.Type: GrantFiled: November 1, 2010Date of Patent: November 10, 2015Assignee: HITACHI, LTD.Inventors: Seiya Kato, Hiroto Mitoma

Patent number: 8454767Abstract: A heat treatment method is capable of molding, by mobile quenching of induction quenching, an outer joint member of a tripod type constant velocity universal joint having excellent strength without forming hardened layers in larger radially-inner portions. Mobile quenching is performed in such a manner that a high-frequency induction heating coil is moved in an axial direction relative to an outer joint member, and thus hardened layers are formed on the roller guide surfaces. Magnetic field line cut-out bodies for cutting out generated magnetic field lines are arranged on the high-frequency induction heating coil. The larger radially-inner portions become an unquenched portion by cutting out the magnetic field lines with the magnetic field line cut-out bodies.Type: GrantFiled: March 1, 2011Date of Patent: June 4, 2013Assignees: NTN Corporation, NTN Driveshaft, Inc.Inventors: Taku Itagaki, Seiya Kato, Brian Drier

Patent number: 7559070Abstract: A moving image distribution system, wherein the user can view content moving images at no charge, and the provider of the content moving images can prevent a drain of the moving image contents and can protect the copy right thereof, as a copy right holder, without fail. The moving images are divided, along a time axis, into two master and slave nonreproducible moving image files. The slave moving image file (small file) is encrypted based on CM file data in which a predetermined CM element has been incorporated. In response to a reproduction request of a user terminal that possesses the master moving image file (main file) in advance, the slave moving image file is distributed with the CM moving images to the user terminal via a network line such as the Internet.Type: GrantFiled: July 27, 2004Date of Patent: July 7, 2009Assignee: Global Point Systems Inc.Inventors: Jun Nakamura, Hideo Saito, Kazuhiro Hiramoto, Yuichi Sei, Sergey Kozhevnikov, Takuro Matsuda, Jun Togo, Shingo Ono, Seiya Kato, Yutaka Arakawa
