Publication number: 20120013555Abstract: Provided is a touch screen system that includes a transmitter, a plurality of electronic pens, and a controller. The transmitter applies to transmitting electrodes a pen-synchronization pulse signal for synchronizing transmission and reception of a pen identification signal between the electronic pens and a receiver. The electronic pens transmit, to receiving electrodes, a pen identification signal in accordance with detection of the pen-synchronization pulse signal of the transmitting electrodes at the time of a touch operation. The controller determines the electronic pen that has performed a touch operation based on the pen identification signal that is received by the receiver via the receiving electrodes.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 7, 2011Publication date: January 19, 2012Applicant: PANASONIC CORPORATIONInventors: Takami MAEDA, Takashi KITADA

Publication number: 20110304570Abstract: A touch screen device is provided that includes a receiving signal processor, an odd number line FIFO, an even number line FIFO, and a first selector. The receiving signal processor processes output signals from receiving electrodes and outputs detection data. The odd number line FIFO and the even number line FIFO respectively store the detection data output from the receiving signal processor on a line basis. The first selector alternately selects outputs of the odd number line FIFO and the even number line FIFO. While one of the odd number line FIFO and the even number line FIFO performs writing of the detection data, the other performs reading.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 9, 2011Publication date: December 15, 2011Applicant: Panasonic CorporationInventors: Takami MAEDA, Masami HIRAKAWA

Publication number: 20110298737Abstract: A panel main body comprises a plurality of transmitting electrodes provided in parallel to one another and a plurality of receiving electrodes provided in parallel to one another, and the transmitting electrodes and the receiving electrodes being disposed in a grid shape. A transmitter applies pulse signals to the transmitting electrodes, and a receiver receives output signals from the receiving electrodes in response to the pulse signals applied to the transmitting electrodes and outputs level signals at electrode intersections of the transmitting electrodes and the receiving electrodes. A controller detects a touch position based on the level signals output from the receiver. The controller also controls a number of pulses of a pulse signal that the transmitter applies to each transmitting electrode while the receiver receives an output signal from each receiving electrode.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 25, 2011Publication date: December 8, 2011Applicant: PANASONIC CORPORATIONInventors: Takami MAEDA, Takashi KITADA, Haruhiko KOHNO

Patent number: 7369666Abstract: High and low frequency components Cn1, Cn2 are generated by causing a center channel audio signal Cn to pass through a high-pass filter HPF and a low-pass filter LPF, and the high frequency component Cn1 is supplied to the center channel loudspeaker SPC. Also, two low frequency components Cn2L, Cn2R, which have a different phase mutually, are generated by causing the low frequency component Cn2 to pass through phase shifters 2, 3. An synthesized audio signal SL is generated by synthesizing the low frequency component Cn2L and the front-left channel audio signal FL, and then supplied to the front-left channel loudspeaker SPL. An synthesized audio signal SR is generated by synthesizing the low frequency component Cn2R and the front-right channel audio signal FR, and is supplied to the front-right channel loudspeaker SPR.Type: GrantFiled: May 7, 2007Date of Patent: May 6, 2008Assignee: Pioneer CorporationInventors: Kazuhito Tatsuta, Takami Maeda, Takeshi Sato

Patent number: 6160566Abstract: A phase-difference-measuring-circuit counts time-lags of beam-detect-signals with regard to a reference beam-detect-signal based on a reference clock. The counted values are stored in respective registers. When register-load-signals are set to "active", the stored values are loaded to pulse-generating-circuits, and counters in the pulse-generating-circuits count down the stored values based on the reference clock. During this count down operation, pulse-generating-circuits output one-shot-pulse-signals. When the on-shot-pulse-signals stays active, frequency dividers are set to "disable" and stop their operations. Duties of motor clocks driving rotary polygons in laser-beam-scanning-units are temporarily varied during this period, and the motor clocks are outputted with phase delay corresponding to this period, thereby correcting phase deviation in the main scan direction of the polygons.Type: GrantFiled: July 30, 1999Date of Patent: December 12, 2000Assignee: Matsushita Electric Industrial Co., Ltd.Inventor: Takami Maeda
