Patent number: 10191473Abstract: Provided is a job plan display system capable of displaying a job plan on a product, and displaying a thumbnail as image information on the product on a display area of the job plan based on design data of the product, allowing an appropriate thumbnail to be displayed while suppressing an increase in system load. The job plan display system is configured to determine whether or not to display or update the thumbnail on a display area of the job plan based on at least one of intention of a designer who created the design data, such intention being assigned to the design data of the product, a predetermined update time, progress information on the design data created and a relationship between a changing part of the design data when the design data is changed and viewpoint coordinates when creating the thumbnail.Type: GrantFiled: February 20, 2015Date of Patent: January 29, 2019Assignee: TOYOTA JIDOSHA KABUSHIKI KAISHAInventors: Toru Saitou, Hideyuki Tagami, Takashi Yasuma, Katsuhiro Ito

Publication number: 20060156491Abstract: An object is to provide a main tower of a bridge having a rectangle-shaped cross section which can effectively reduce oscillation for wind blowing in the direction normal to the bridge axis. A cross sectional shape of a tower column is a rectangle shape with a direction normal to the bridge axis dimension smaller than a bridge-axis direction dimension. A slit passing through in the direction normal to the bridge axis is formed in a substantially central position, and a ratio of the bridge-axis direction dimension of the slit with respect to the bridge-axis direction dimension of the cross section is between 0.2 and 0.3.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 23, 2005Publication date: July 20, 2006Applicant: MITSUBISHI HEAVY INDUSTRIES, LTDInventors: Shigeto Hirai, Manabu Oda, Akihiro Honda, Yoji Kumagai, Toru Saitou

Patent number: 6383628Abstract: There is disclosed an image heating device, provided with a movable member including an electroconductive layer and adapted to move with a recording member, a magnetizing coil for generating a magnetic flux, provided continuously over the entire width of the movable member in a direction perpendicular to the moving direction of the movable member, and a core member for guiding the magnetic flux. The magnetic flux generated by the magnetizing coil induces an eddy current in the movable member, thereby heating an image supported on the recording member by the heat generated in the movable member by the eddy current. At least a part of the magnetizing coil is provided along the movable member not along the core member.Type: GrantFiled: January 9, 1998Date of Patent: May 7, 2002Assignee: Canon Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Atsuyoshi Abe, Toru Saitou
