Publication number: 20240114716Abstract: A first light-emitting element and a second light-emitting element that have a resonance structure that causes output light from a light-emission functional layer to resonate between a reflective layer and a semi-transmissive reflective layer, and a pixel definition layer, and in which an aperture part is formed to correspond to each of the first light-emitting element and the second light-emitting element, are formed on a base. A first interval between the reflective layer and the semi-transmissive reflective layer in the first light-emitting element and a second interval between the reflective layer and the semi-transmissive reflective layer in the second light-emitting element are different, and a film thickness of the pixel definition layer is less than a difference between the first interval and the second interval.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 6, 2023Publication date: April 4, 2024Applicant: SEIKO EPSON CORPORATIONInventors: Ryoichi NOZAWA, Atsushi AMANO, Takeshi KOSHIHARA, Akio FUKASE, Shinichi IWATA

Publication number: 20240066872Abstract: A recording device has: a recording section that discharges a liquid to a medium for recording purposes; a maintenance unit that abuts the recording section and performs maintenance of the recording section; a first moving section that causes the recording section to abut the maintenance unit and separates the recording section from the maintenance unit; and a restricting section that can suppress movement of the recording section toward the maintenance unit after the recording section abuts the maintenance unit. The first moving section has a driving source and a worm gear that transmits the power of the driving source. A force with which the driving source causes the recording section to abut the maintenance unit is smaller than a force with which the driving source separates the recording section from the maintenance unit.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 25, 2023Publication date: February 29, 2024Inventors: Yasuo SUNAGA, Takeshi AOKI, Yusaku AMANO

Patent number: 9316941Abstract: A development execution control portion executes a development process by causing an intermediate lateral conveyance portion and a developing portion to operate. A developer replenishment control portion causes a developer replenishment portion to operate when a detection result of a developer amount sensor satisfies a predetermined shortage condition. A post-development processing control portion causes the intermediate lateral conveyance portion and the developing portion to operate continuously from and after a development process and then stop.Type: GrantFiled: July 14, 2015Date of Patent: April 19, 2016Assignee: KYOCERA Document Solutions Inc.Inventors: Takeshi Amano, Akihiro Watanabe

Patent number: 8965241Abstract: A development device includes a case, a developer carrier, an antiscattering part and a movement mechanism. The case has a supply port supplying developer to an image carrier in which an electrostatic latent image is formed. The developer carrier is rotatably positioned in the case, and develops the electrostatic latent image through the supply port by the developer. The antiscattering part prevents the developer from scattering from the supply port. The movement mechanism makes the developer carrier movable, in the case, between a developing position adjacent to the supply port and a housing position at a depth side from the developing position with respect to the supply port. The antiscattering part is moved, in conjunction with movement of the developer carrier, between an opening position adjacent to the developing position and a withdrawal position far from the opening position, while separating from the developer carrier.Type: GrantFiled: December 10, 2013Date of Patent: February 24, 2015Assignee: KYOCERA Document Solutions Inc.Inventor: Takeshi Amano

Patent number: 8523242Abstract: A connection-structure of a flexible tube, in which the flexible tube is fitted to an end portion of a metal pipe, comprises an annular projection, a first radially enlarged portion, a seal ring and a second radially enlarged portion. The annular projection is formed on an outer surface of the end portion of the metal pipe. The first radially enlarged portion is formed on the tip side of the metal pipe relative to the projection, defining a first annular groove with the projection. The seal ring is fitted into the annular groove. The second enlarged portion is formed on the base side of the metal pipe relative to the projection, defining a second annular groove with the projection. The tip portion of the flexible tube is positioned close to the maximum diameter portion of the second enlarged portion.Type: GrantFiled: February 23, 2012Date of Patent: September 3, 2013Assignees: Nitta Corporation, FTS Co., Ltd.Inventors: Satoru Hosotani, Yoshinari Rokken, Jun Okada, Takeshi Amano

Patent number: 7066047Abstract: There is provided a rearward displacement prevention mechanism for a control pedal, which is constructed such that a front end of a pedal bracket supporting a control pedal such that the control pedal is capable of pivoting is connected to a vehicle compartment side of a dash panel that separates an engine room and a vehicle compartment from each other, a rear end of the pedal bracket is mounted on a cowl top panel disposed at the upper side of the dash panel via a releasing mechanism, and a regulating device is provided in the vehicle compartment to be opposed to the cowl top panel. With this arrangement, the pedal bracket can be surely released by operation of the releasing mechanism even in the case where the cowl top panel and the dash panel are moved rearward at the same time.Type: GrantFiled: June 7, 2002Date of Patent: June 27, 2006Assignees: Mitsuishi Jidosha Kogyo Kabushiki Kaisha, Mitsubishi Jidosha Engineering Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Takeshi Amano, Toshiyasu Shida

Patent number: 4971559Abstract: A globe, comprising: a stationary base; a day and night boundary ring mounted on the stationary base; an arm supported at its base end by the day and night boundary ring so as to be rotatable around a first axial line; and a spherical globe main body rotatably supported by a free end of the arm so as to be rotatable around its earth's axis; the first axial line defining the ecliptic angle with respect to a vertical line. According to this globe, the distribution of the regions of day and night in any time of the day and in any time of the year can be readily demonstrated by means of the day and night boundary ring simply by turning the globe body around the earth's axis and the first axial line, respectively, without using any complicated structure.Type: GrantFiled: September 14, 1989Date of Patent: November 20, 1990Inventor: Takeshi Amano
