Patent number: 8720279Abstract: Three or more electrodes are arranged on either a window frame or window glass of an automobile. An electric field measurement unit measures the capacitance between various combinations of the electrodes to detect whether an object is located between the window frame and window glass. A control circuit varies the sensitivity of the electric field measurement unit by switching amongst the electrodes used for capacitance measurement based on the movement and position of the window glass.Type: GrantFiled: May 11, 2011Date of Patent: May 13, 2014Assignee: Freescale Semiconductor, Inc.Inventor: Shunichi Ogawa

Patent number: 7984655Abstract: An entrapment prevention and detection device for an opening/closing mechanism detects entrapment with a simple structure and does not occupy much space. When a foreign object, such as a human body part approaches a window glass, such as an automobile window, the capacitance of a capacitive sensor increases. A control circuit compares a most recent capacitance obtained by a capacitance detection circuit with a previous value and if the most recent capacitance value is greater than the previous value, when the glass is being raised (closed), the control circuit determines that a foreign object has approached the glass and then stops or lowers (opens) the glass.Type: GrantFiled: May 18, 2009Date of Patent: July 26, 2011Assignee: Freescale Semiconductor, Inc.Inventor: Shunichi Ogawa

Patent number: 6127012Abstract: A recyclable article and a sheet-like member included in the article are disclosed. In a copier, for example, a front door has a door body and a decal fitted on the door body by an adhesive. The door body and decal are formed of thermoplastic resins soluble in each other, so that the adhesive does not remain on the door body when the decal is peeled off the door body. When the front door is melted for recycling, a molding having desirable characteristic is achievable. When the decal is peeled off the door body in order to reuse the front door, the adhesive can be easily removed from the door body.Type: GrantFiled: August 29, 1997Date of Patent: October 3, 2000Assignee: Ricoh Company, Ltd.Inventors: Shinji Nagatsuna, Tatsuo Tani, Shunichi Ogawa

Patent number: 5760931Abstract: A heads-up display unit provided with a display device serving as display image forming means which displays a display image. A hologram serves as a reflecting means, and reflects the display light emitted from the display device, causing reflection of the display image on the interior surface of a vehicle's windshield. A display image is formed outside the windshield towards the front of the vehicle. A concave mirror having a different focal length in different directions is recorded in the hologram serving as a reflecting means so as to offset distortion of the display image caused by curvatures of the windshield. This construction makes it possible to cause the windshield to display a display image free from distortion.Type: GrantFiled: October 13, 1994Date of Patent: June 2, 1998Assignee: Nippondenso Co., Ltd.Inventors: Toshiki Saburi, Yasuhiro Mizutani, Naoyuki Kawazoe, Yoshiaki Fukatsu, Satoshi Koike, Teiyuu Kimura, Shunichi Ogawa, Takekazu Terui, Hiroshi Ando, Masahiro Higuchi

Patent number: 5670071Abstract: An MAG arc welding method and apparatus is capable of achieving a welding bead in a regular ripple pattern or in a suitable sectional form. The welding power source generates the first welding current I1 and a second welding current I2 larger than the first welding current. The wire melting speed is changed by switching between the first and the second welding currents. The welding method or apparatus according to the invention generates the first arc length more than 2 mm and the second arc length more than the first arc length and switches between both arc length at a switching frequency F of 0.5 to 25 Hz. The ratio of the second to the first welding currents is made to be in 1.03 to 1.20. In addition to a welding method to change the arc length by switching the first and the second welding currents at a constant wire feeding rate, the present welding method makes it possible to carry out the lap welding or butt welding even when there is a large gap.Type: GrantFiled: June 7, 1995Date of Patent: September 23, 1997Assignee: Daihen CorporationInventors: Tomoyuki Ueyama, Shoji Harada, Toshiaki Nakamata, Masuo Shibata, Toshimitsu Doi, Shunichi Ogawa, Ichiro Matsumoto, Hiroshi Nakai

Patent number: 5599087Abstract: A corner or end position indicating apparatus for an automotive vehicle comprises a light source 6 emitting light, and first and second marker point indicators 2 and 3. The first marker point indicator 2, displayed red, is larger and brighter than the second marker point indicator 3 displayed blue. A first optical path is defined between the first marker point indicator 2 and the light source 6, and a second optical path is defined between the second marker point indicator 3 and the light source 6. The first optical path is longer than the second optical path. A concave mirror 5 alters a direction of the light emitted from the light source 5 upward a rear window glass R of the automotive vehicle. The first marker point indicator 2, the light source 6 and the concave mirror 5 are cooperative to form an image 2a of the first marker point indicator 2 at a position corresponding to a corner or end position of a vehicle body.Type: GrantFiled: July 18, 1994Date of Patent: February 4, 1997Assignee: Nippondenso Co., Ltd.Inventors: Yasunori Kanno, Yoshiaki Fukatsu, Shunichi Ogawa
