Patent number: 10091396Abstract: A reading device scans receipts, and transmits image data of the receipts to an analyzer. The analyzer receives the image data, extracts images of the receipts from the image data; counts a number of the images; executes a character recognition process to obtain text data; transmits, to the display device, a number of all of the images, and sequentially transmits, to the display device, the images for which the character recognition process has been completed, together with the text data. The display device sequentially displays each image, together with the text data; and upon detecting that the number of all of the images matches a number of the sequentially transmitted images, receives a command to report to the analyzer that the reception the images is completed.Type: GrantFiled: January 2, 2018Date of Patent: October 2, 2018Assignee: Ricoh Company, Ltd.Inventors: Haruhiko Hattori, Tetsuya Shinozaki, Koji Muro

Patent number: 7488197Abstract: A circuit board connector housing (10) includes slide contacts (19) arranged before contact areas (16) of detecting terminals (15A) with respect to a connecting direction. The slide contacts (19) contact touching portions (30) of shorting terminals (27) during a connecting operation of two housings (10, 20). The slide contacts (19) remove foreign matter from the touching portions (30) during the connecting operation of the two housings (10, 20). Thus, extra efforts to remove foreign matter are not needed before the housings (10, 20) are connected. The absence of foreign matter on the touching portions (30) achieves good quality contact with the contact areas (16) of the detecting terminals (15A) and assures reliability of a connection detecting function.Type: GrantFiled: July 19, 2007Date of Patent: February 10, 2009Assignee: Sumitomo Wiring Systems, Ltd.Inventor: Tetsuya Shinozaki

Patent number: 7476116Abstract: With a pair of housings (10, 30) connected, a lever (20) provided in a female housing (10) is prevented from separating from a male housing (30) at two positions, i.e. at an engaged position of a cam follower (34) and a cam groove (25) and an engaged position with a preventing portion (36). These two separation preventing positions are separated in a direction normal to connecting and separating directions of the female housing (10) to prevent inclinations of the two housings (10, 30).Type: GrantFiled: December 18, 2007Date of Patent: January 13, 2009Assignee: Sumitomo Wiring Systems, Ltd.Inventor: Tetsuya Shinozaki

Patent number: 7384286Abstract: A connector has female and male housings (10, 60). A cam pin (63) projects from the male housing (60), and a jaw (65) bulges out at the end of the cam pin (63). A lever (30) is mounted to the female housing (10), and has a cam groove (33) for engaging the cam pin (63). A step (38, 39) in the cam groove (33) defines an accommodating portion (42) for the jaw (65). The depth of the accommodation portion (42) is larger near the entrance of the cam groove (33) so that the jaw (65) initially is accommodated loosely. However the depth of the accommodating portion (42) is smaller towards the back of the cam groove (33) to prevent loose movements.Type: GrantFiled: March 2, 2007Date of Patent: June 10, 2008Assignee: Sumitomo Wiring Systems, Ltd.Inventors: Yuujirou Imai, Tetsuya Shinozaki

Patent number: 7264508Abstract: A shielded connector assembly has first and second housings (11, 31). The first housing (11) has a fitting space (17) formed with coupling ribs (16). A shielding shell (26) is in the fitting space (17) and has slits (27) that receive the coupling ribs (16). A preventing groove (29) is formed in a peripheral surface of a fitting space (17) and receives a projection (37) of the second housing (31) when the housings (11, 31) are connected properly. The preventing groove (29) is aligned with the slit (27) so that the slit (27) also receives the projection (37). Thus, it is unnecessary to form a separate notch to receive the projection (37).Type: GrantFiled: January 26, 2006Date of Patent: September 4, 2007Assignee: Sumitomo Wiring Systems, Ltd.Inventors: Kouji Sakakura, Tetsuya Shinozaki

Patent number: 7238050Abstract: A connection shell (23) includes a tubular fastener (25) formed by flat surfaces (25a) and curved surfaces (25b) and a rectangular tubular contact (24). A crimp ring (29) is crimped to fasten a wire shield (28) to the outer peripheral surface of the tubular fastener (25). The tubular contact (24) is connected so that a circumferential surface thereof overlaps a circumferential surface of a housing shell (19). The tubular contact (24) has a rectangular shape that conforms with the rectangular tubular shape of the housing shell (19). Thus, only a small clearance is defined between the housing shell (19) and the connection shell (23) to suppress leakage of noise through the clearance between the housing shell (19) and the connection shell (23).Type: GrantFiled: January 30, 2006Date of Patent: July 3, 2007Assignee: Sumitomo Wiring Systems, Ltd.Inventors: Kouji Sakakura, Tetsuya Shinozaki
