Patent number: 5080421Abstract: An apparatus for preventing discharge of fuel vapor to the atmosphere by allowing fuel vapor in a fuel tank to be adsorbed by an adsorbing device when a fuel lid is opened. A switch is turned on by the movement of a locking member for locking and unlocking the fuel lid so as to detect the opening of the fuel lid. The arrangement facilitates adjustment of the relative positions of the switch and the locking member. In addition, the switch is turned on when the fuel lid is opened by remote control, while the switch is turned off when the fuel lid is manually closed. The discharge of fuel vapor to the atmosphere during refueling and the influx of fuel vapor into the adsorbing device after the charging of fuel are prevented.Type: GrantFiled: March 21, 1990Date of Patent: January 14, 1992Assignee: Toyota Jidosha Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Hidekazu Otowa, Kazuhiro Okada, Hidefumi Sonoda, Tadao Kaneko, Kazuhisa Sawada

Patent number: 5067468Abstract: An apparatus for preventing discharge of fuel vapor to the atmosphere by allowing fuel vapor in a fuel tank to be adsorbed by an adsorbing device when a fuel lid is opened. A switch is secured to a mounting bracket for rotatably supporting a fuel lid opener lever mounted in a vehicle compartment. The switch is turned on by the operation of the remote lever that opens the fuel lid, and fuel vapor is adsorbed by charcoal in a canister. The switch is adjustably secured to the mounting bracket, to facilitate positioning the pushbutton of the switch relative to the lid opening lever.Type: GrantFiled: April 2, 1990Date of Patent: November 26, 1991Assignee: Toyota Jidosha Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Hidekazu Otowa, Kazuhiro Okada, Hidefumi Sonoda, Tadao Kaneko

Patent number: 4765547Abstract: An apparatus for separating fibers from a fiber aggregate comprises a hollow cylindrical apparatus housing defining therein a dissolving chamber. A partition is disposed in the internal space of the apparatus housing and forms the bottom of the dissolving chamber. The partition defines a plurality of through openings, through which fibers separated from the aggregate passes. The apparatus housing has an aggregate inlet to introduce the aggregate to be dissolved with pressurized air. The pressurized air carrying the aggregates is discharged toward the partition and forms swirl flow in the dissolving chamber. By the swirl flow of the air, the aggregate flows to collide onto the partition with an impact. This impact serves as an energy for causing dispersion or dissolving of the aggregate. The partition is preferably formed with elastically or resiliently deformable material for absorbing impact upon the collision of the aggregate thereonto so as not to cause destroying of each individual fiber.Type: GrantFiled: March 19, 1987Date of Patent: August 23, 1988Assignee: Kawasaki Steel CorporationInventors: Tomohiro Marui, Tadao Kaneko, Kazuo Ao, Toshio Shimono, Seiichiro Fukada

Patent number: 4554223Abstract: In a shift converter for catalytically converting carbon monoxide and steam to carbon dioxide and hydrogen through exothermic reaction in a phosphoric acid fuel cell apparatus, the heat generated at the shift reaction is absorbed in vaporization of a liquid in a vessel provided with a reactor tube as a heat source. The catalytic exothermic reaction is carried out with cooling in the present invention, and thus it is not necessary to provide coolers at a plurality of stages in contrast to the conventional shift converter.Type: GrantFiled: August 9, 1984Date of Patent: November 19, 1985Assignee: Hitachi, Ltd.Inventors: Eiji Yokoyama, Tadao Kaneko, Yoshiaki Amano, Shigeo Sugimoto

Patent number: 4470616Abstract: An anchor arm for a torsion bar has an opening into which is inserted one end of the torsion bar extending longitudinally of a car body and having the other end connected to a lower arm of a suspension. The anchor arm is provided with another opening spaced from the opening axially of the torsion bar. A cap or choke member is attached to an end of the anchor arm on the side of the another opening to seal liquid tightly the opening and be broken through or blown out by the torsion bar upon collision of a car.Type: GrantFiled: August 30, 1982Date of Patent: September 11, 1984Assignee: Toyota Jidosha Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Tadao Kaneko, Yoshihiko Ishimura

Patent number: 4412236Abstract: A color solid-state imager comprising a semiconductor body which has a photoelectric conversion function and which includes at least photosensitive elements and switching elements, and predetermined color filters which are formed on the body; characterized in that a light absorbing layer is disposed at least over a vicinity of an output terminal of each switching element. The contours of the color filters can be accurately formed, and unnecessary light can be intercepted to stabilize the electrical characteristics of the solid-state imager.Type: GrantFiled: August 21, 1980Date of Patent: October 25, 1983Assignee: Hitachi, Ltd.Inventors: Akira Sasano, Toshio Nakano, Ken Tsutsui, Michiaki Hashimoto, Tadao Kaneko, Norio Koike, Akiya Izumi

Patent number: 4395629Abstract: According to a solid-state imager of this invention, in case where a plurality of color filters are disposed on a semiconductor body for the solid-state imager including a plurality of photosensitive regions and where the color filter of a third color is constructed by the overlapping between filter members of a first color and a second color, that one of the filter members which has a spectral transmittance substantially transmitting light for exposure for use in forming the filter members is arranged as a lower layer closer to a substrate of the semiconductor body. Even when the filter members are formed by the exposure process, a solid-state imager having good characteristics can be manufactured.Type: GrantFiled: December 10, 1980Date of Patent: July 26, 1983Assignee: Hitachi, Ltd.Inventors: Akira Sasano, Toshio Nakano, Ken Tsutsui, Michiaki Hashimoto, Tadao Kaneko, Yoshio Taniguchi, Haruo Matsumaru, Akiya Izumi

Patent number: 4285007Abstract: A color solid-state imager comprises a semiconductor body over which are successively laminated a predetermined number of filter layers of any desired shape having predetermined spectral characteristics and, laminated on the filter layers, a predetermined number of layers composed of a transparent, organic high molecular material which is sensitive to radiation, the semiconductor substrate having at least a detector portion composed of an array of a plurality of optical detector elements. The method of making color solid-state imagers can be simplified by at least using the radiation-sensitive high molecular material for the intermediate layers or protection layers which are used for forming a laminate construction of color-decomposing filters.Further, in mounting the color-decomposing filters on the semiconductor substrate, it is particularly preferred to form beforehand a film of an organic high molecular material.Type: GrantFiled: February 20, 1980Date of Patent: August 18, 1981Assignee: Hitachi, Ltd.Inventors: Toshio Nakano, Tadao Kaneko, Michiaki Hashimoto, Yoshio Hatano, Haruo Matsumaru, Akira Sasano, Eiichi Maruyama

Patent number: 4086090Abstract: The present invention affords a process for forming a pattern having a surface area substantially equal to or smaller than area of apertures of shadow-mask through which beams pass on a photoresist film, which contains an acrylamidediacetoneacrylamide copolymer and a water-soluble aromatic bisazide compound, by exposing said photoresist film to light through a mask having the pattern and then developing the film.The use of said photoresist film for the preparation of a phosphor screen of a color picture tube of a black matrix or black stripe type does not require a special technique such as post-etching of a shadow mask and makes it possible to form a three primary color phosphor pattern having a surface area substantially equal to or smaller than the area of apertures of the shadow mask through which lightbeams pass, without mutual "bridging" between phosphor dots. Thus, an excellent phosphor screen of a color picture tube of a black matrix or black stripe type can be prepared.Type: GrantFiled: September 22, 1975Date of Patent: April 25, 1978Assignee: Hitachi, Ltd.Inventors: Takahiro Kohashi, Motoo Akagi, Yoichi Oba, Saburo Nonogaki, Makoto Tanaka, Tadao Kaneko, Yoshifumi Tomita
