Publication number: 20220349224Abstract: A vehicle hood lever assembly has a latch mechanism, a latch lever and a striker structure. The latch mechanism has a latching member movable between a hood locking orientation and a hood unlocking orientation. The latch lever attaches to the latch mechanism at a location spaced apart from the latching member movable between a hood. catching orientation and a hood release orientation. The striker structure has a main striker member and a secondary striker member. With the striker structure moving toward the latch mechanism, a surface of the secondary striker member contacts a portion of the latch lever moving the latch lever from the hood release orientation to the hood catching orientation. In response to continued movement of the striker structure toward the latch mechanism, the main striker member engages the latching member and is restrained against further movement with the latching member being moved into the hood locking orientation.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 28, 2021Publication date: November 3, 2022Inventors: Bobby FUENTES, Takeharu IWATA

Patent number: 9943635Abstract: An extracorporeal circulation device having high safety without increases in the circuit scale and the power consumption includes a main control unit responsible for control of a motor drive circuit so as to yield a blood flow rate per unit time set by a user. The motor drive circuit applies a drive signal corresponding to the set blood flow rate to a motor. A sub-control unit configured by a field programmable gate array (FPGA) detects the drive signal applied to the motor and monitors whether or not the drive signal falls within an allowable range corresponding to the set blood flow rate. If the drive signal outside the allowable range is applied, the main control unit is deemed to be in an abnormal state and the main control unit is completely stopped. Then, the sub-control unit takes over the subsequent processing.Type: GrantFiled: September 5, 2012Date of Patent: April 17, 2018Assignee: Terumo Kabushiki KaishaInventor: Takeharu Iwata

Patent number: 7139030Abstract: A video signal processing apparatus in which an input video signal is written in a frame memory on a line sequential scanning frame unit base in synchronism with a first vertical synchronizing signal and which the line sequential scanning video signal written in the frame memory is read out in synchronism with a second vertical synchronizing signal. The second vertical synchronizing signal having a frequency different from a frequency of a first vertical synchronizing signal is generated in synchronism with the first vertical synchronizing signal of a starting frame of five frames forming a pattern after the conversion in the 2-3 pulldown conversion system when it is judged that the input video signal is based on a telecine-converted video signal.Type: GrantFiled: March 2, 2004Date of Patent: November 21, 2006Assignee: Pioneer CorporationInventors: Takeharu Iwata, Kazunori Ochiai, Hirofumi Honda, Tetsuro Nagakubo

Patent number: 5829799Abstract: An automotive lid lock device comprises a lock proper which includes a latch plate and a locking plate. The locking plate is pivotal between a locking position to lock the latch plate and an unlocking position to release the latch plate. The lid lock device further comprises a power unlocking mechanism for pivoting the locking plate to the unlocking position with an aid of an electric power. The power unlocking mechanism includes an electric motor; a worm connected to an output shaft of the motor to rotate therewith; a worm wheel operatively engaged with the worm and a release lever extending between the locking plate and the worm wheel to pivot the locking plate from the locking position to the unlocking position when the worm wheel is turned in a given direction. The release lever, the locking plate and the worm wheel are so arranged that when the worm wheel is turned in the given direction, the worm wheel pushes the release lever toward the locking plate.Type: GrantFiled: June 6, 1996Date of Patent: November 3, 1998Assignees: Ohi Seisakusho Co., Ltd., Nissan Motor Co., Ltd.Inventors: Jun Yamagishi, Yasuyuki Fukushima, Shigenori Taga, Yoshio Watanuki, Takeharu Iwata
