Patent number: 11758977Abstract: An object of the present invention is to provide a sole of a baseball spike shoe that improves a ball speed in a pitching motion. A sole includes a plurality of first protrusions arranged in a forefoot region of a sole body. Each of the first protrusions is formed such that its longitudinal direction extends along a foot width direction in a bottom view. When the plurality of first protrusions are projected on a virtual projection plane as viewed from a front side of the sole body, the sum of projection lengths of the plurality of first protrusions in the foot width direction is 85% or more and 100% or less of a distance of a straight line connecting in the foot width direction a side of the most medial first protrusion to a side of the most lateral first protrusion.Type: GrantFiled: July 16, 2021Date of Patent: September 19, 2023Assignee: MIZUNO CORPORATIONInventors: Shingo Sudo, Shogo Matsui, Kohei Mimura

Patent number: 5850467Abstract: An image data inspecting method detects whether or not a pattern described by a first image data and a pattern described by a second image data match. This method includes the steps of (a) carrying out a sizing process on the first and second image data so that the patterns described thereby are at least enlarged or reduced by the same amount, and (b) comparing the first and second image data which are processed in the step (a) to determine whether or not the processed first and second image data match.Type: GrantFiled: November 15, 1994Date of Patent: December 15, 1998Assignee: Fujitsu LimitedInventors: Shogo Matsui, Kenichi Kobayashi

Patent number: 5125040Abstract: A method of inspecting a photomask reticle for the fabrication of a semiconductor device such as a die having a first pattern which has its own individual shape and a plurality of second patterns each having the same shape and size among themselves, combining the methods of the database inspection and of the pattern comparing inspection. The method of database inspection is applied to the first pattern and to one of the second patterns selected randomly. The database inspection can be performed by comparison with inspection data derived from design data used for the fabrication of the photomask reticle, such as by an improved reticle tester which can exclude all of the second patterns except the selected one of the second patterns. The second patterns other than the selected pattern are then inspected by the method of the pattern comparing inspection, that is, by comparison with the selected second pattern which has already been inspected by the database inspection.Type: GrantFiled: September 24, 1990Date of Patent: June 23, 1992Assignee: Fujitsu Ltd.Inventors: Shogo Matsui, Kenichi Kobayashi

Patent number: 4774461Abstract: A system for inspecting exposure pattern data in the form of coordinate data for forming a reticle of a semiconductor integrated circuit device, on the basis of video signals. The inspection system includes a unit for inputting exposure pattern data in the form of coordinate data form in response to a request for a test region, converting the input exposure pattern data to data corresponding to an actual pattern in a two-dimensional form, storing the converted data, and outputting the stored data in the form of video signals; a unit for testing the exposure pattern data from the inputting and converting unit on the basis of the video signals under a predetermined pattern rule; and a unit for outputting data tested at the pattern testing unit. The pattern test unit includes a variety of test circuits, such as a slit test circuit, a comparator, a combination circuit, etc., used for a pattern test.Type: GrantFiled: November 25, 1986Date of Patent: September 27, 1988Assignee: Fujitsu LimitedInventors: Shogo Matsui, Kunihiko Shiozawa, Kenichi Kobayashi
