Patent number: 11733069Abstract: The range of operating angles of a position transducer is widened, and its signal-to-noise ratio is improved. The position transducer includes a light source and a detector including at least one pair of photodiodes (PDs) disposed on a predetermined circle. The detector receives light emitted from the light source to output a signal varying depending on the areas of regions where the light is received on two PDs forming a pair. The PDs are formed on separate chips, respectively, and the chips are disposed on a substrate so that one or more pairs of PDs surround the entirety of a predetermined region and have an annular shape as a whole.Type: GrantFiled: March 9, 2021Date of Patent: August 22, 2023Assignees: CITIZEN CHIBA PRECISION CO., LTD., CITIZEN WATCH CO., LTD.Inventors: Kazunari Ogata, Shougo Kimura, Kaori Funatsu

Patent number: 8632122Abstract: A floor member is formed by a seat support platform on a rear side and a footrest area located on a front side of the seat support platform, and a cab box is formed by a front panel, a rear panel, a left front side panel, a left rear side panel, a right side panel, and a top panel. A right reinforcing panel is provided at a right side position of the floor member and rises upwardly of the footrest area. The right side panel of the cab box corresponding to this right reinforcing panel is provided with a notched portion for avoiding interference with the right reinforcing panel. Accordingly, since the strength at the right side position of the floor member can be enhanced by the right reinforcing panel, it is possible to prevent deformation such as torsion and distortion when the floor member is tilted up.Type: GrantFiled: September 21, 2010Date of Patent: January 21, 2014Assignee: Hitachi Construction Machinery Co., Ltd.Inventors: Shougo Kimura, Hajime Ishii, Tomoyuki Tanaka, Hiroshi Tabeta

Patent number: 7321440Abstract: A host that controls jobs of a printer obtains client identifying information within a job control request, which is received from a terminal, while obtaining the job information and client identifying information of the print request from the printer, and storing the same in a job information storage unit. For each job included in the job information that is obtained from the printer, a job control capability determiner compares the client identifying information (of print requester) and client identifying information of the terminal that made a control request. When both of the client identifying information is identical, it is determined that the control is allowed. When it is not identical, it is determined that the control is not allowed.Type: GrantFiled: October 10, 2002Date of Patent: January 22, 2008Assignee: Panasonic Communications Co., Ltd.Inventor: Shougo Kimura

Patent number: 4283997Abstract: A refrigerant compressor unit which includes a balance hole communicating between the crank chamber and the suction chamber for returning blow-by gas in the crank chamber to the suction chamber. The unit is provided with an oil collecting zone within the discharge chamber and has an oil accumulating chamber formed on a lower portion of the cylinder head. Oil mixed with compressed refrigerant gas within the discharge chamber adheres the inner surface of the discharge chamber and flows into the collecting zone. The collected oil is accumulated in the accumulating chamber and returns to the crank chamber through an oil passageway between the accumulating chamber and the crank chamber, thereby reducing the oil leakage into the refrigerant circulating system.Type: GrantFiled: August 16, 1979Date of Patent: August 18, 1981Assignee: Sankyo Electric Company LimitedInventors: Haruo Takahashi, Shougo Kimura
