Publication number: 20160016455Abstract: A front-seat air conditioner and a rear-seat air conditioner, which are independent from each other, are provided. An engine is automatically stopped under preset stop conditions. When the engine is automatically stopped in a case in which the number of passengers is a specified preset number (five, for example) or larger during heating, the operation of the rear-seat air conditioner is stopped (reduction of power consumption) and the operation of the front-seat air conditioner is continued (prevention of windshield glass from being fogged). Thereby, the windshield glass can be prevented from being fogged during the engine's automatic stop, reducing the power consumption of air conditioning.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 13, 2015Publication date: January 21, 2016Applicant: MAZDA MOTOR CORPORATIONInventors: Kazuhiro MIYAGAWA, Shinobu KATO, Naoki TAKATA

Publication number: 20150273982Abstract: A blower fan is driven, and conditioning air flows down through an evaporator and then is supplied into a vehicle compartment. An idling-stop condition in a roof-open state is set to make an idling stop to be relatively easily attained, compared to a roof-closed state, so that a fuel economy can be improved. When an outside-air temperature is a specified temperature or higher or a solar-radiation intensity is a specified degree or greater at an engine's automatic stop, the blower fan is driven, so that the conditioning air is supplied toward a passenger in a manner of an electric fan. The evaporator through which the conditioning air flows down is sufficiently cool at the timing right after the automatic stop of the engine. Accordingly, it is preferable to configure such that the sufficiently-cooled conditioning air is supplied for a properly-long period of time.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 23, 2015Publication date: October 1, 2015Applicant: MAZDA MOTOR CORPORATIONInventors: Naoki TAKATA, Kazuhiro MIYAGAWA, Shinobu KATO, Shinshi KAJIMOTO

Image reading apparatus, shading correction method therefor, and program for implementing the method
Patent number: 8570611Abstract: An image reading apparatus including a shading correction mechanism that can be formed by fewer component parts than conventional ones, and is increased in the degree of freedom of design, thereby enabling reduction of the size and weight thereof. A contact glass guides an original to an image reading position. A glass holding member holds the glass. A line image sensor reads an image on the original conveyed to the image reading location, through the contact glass. A reference member is disposed at a location different from the image reading location on the contact glass. A moving mechanism relatively moves the line image sensor and the reference member so that the line image sensor can alternatively read the original conveyed to the image reading location and the reference member. A drive section externally drives the moving mechanism to move the line image sensor and/or the reference member.Type: GrantFiled: November 15, 2012Date of Patent: October 29, 2013Assignee: Canon Denshi Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Jun Tanaka, Takashi Machida, Shinobu Kato, Keiji Tsutaoka, Taketo Ochiai, Masahiro Shirai, Shigeru Ikezaki, Hirotaka Watanabe -
