Patent number: 9112736Abstract: Transfer efficiency of data transfer in a single semiconductor device or between semiconductor devices is improved. A table is created by associating a combination of attribute information involved in data transfer with an identifier. When attribute information registered in the table is received, the attribute information is replaced with an identifier so that the information is compressed and transferred. Accordingly, transfer efficiency is increased in transmission or reception of a request and a response.Type: GrantFiled: December 13, 2012Date of Patent: August 18, 2015Assignee: Canon Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Takeshi Hiraoka, Daisuke Shiraishi, Akiyoshi Momoi, Chuma Nagao

Patent number: 4998955Abstract: A camshaft having a steel shaft and cam pieces made from a sintering iron-base alloy material and fixed to the shaft by sintering. Prior to sintering, the green or pre-sintered cam piece is fitted on the shaft and positioned by a steel positioning pin, which is inserted both into a pin-receiving hole in the shaft and into a pin-receiving groove on the side surface of the cam piece. The positioning pin contains carbon less than the steel shaft. This results in that the carbon diffusion initiates at a predetermined position where the pin and the cam piece are in contact with each other and that the cam piece always shrinks about the position.Type: GrantFiled: May 10, 1989Date of Patent: March 12, 1991Assignee: Nippon Piston Ring Co., Ltd.Inventors: Takeshi Hiraoka, Shunsuke Takeguchi, Satoshi Kawai
