Patent number: 5570831Abstract: A tape guide device having apertures formed in two tape-winding surfaces of non-rotatable curvature portions. A tape restriction is provided at a connecting portion of the tape guide device interconnecting the curvature portions. A flange is provided on one of the curvature portions for movement along an axis thereof to adjust the height thereof. The flange has an outer diameter greater than that of the one curvature portion. The curvature portions are integrated with each other. According this, an air film is generated between the tape and the tape-winding surfaces by discharging air from the apertures, thereby reducing the friction coefficient between the tape and the tape-winding surfaces to suppress the increase of tape tension. The tape is restricted to fluctuate in the direction of width. Further, the attitude and relative positioning between the curvature portions can be secured with high precision.Type: GrantFiled: December 16, 1993Date of Patent: November 5, 1996Assignee: Hitachi, Ltd.Inventors: Hidekazu Takeda, Kenmei Masuda, Nobuyuki Kaku, Tomoki Shoji, Toshihiro Koyama, Kazuo Sakai, Fumio Takeda

Patent number: 5126947Abstract: An improved plate flatness control method adapted to effect a control so that plate flatness of a rolled material is made optimum by adjusting manipulated variables. In determining correction quantities of the manipulated variables, under the constraint that upper and lower limits exist in at least one of the manipulated variables and the correction quantities, a weighted square sum of deviations of a plate flatness distribution in the width direction of the rolled material is taken as an objective function to determine, using a non-linear programming, correction quantities of the manipulated variables where the objective function becomes minimum, thus, to control the plate flatness of the rolled material on the basis of the determined correction quantities of the manipulated variables.Type: GrantFiled: December 22, 1989Date of Patent: June 30, 1992Assignee: Kabushiki Kaisha ToshibaInventor: Toshihiro Koyama

Patent number: 4827452Abstract: A semiconductor memory device comprises a main memory 101 and a spare memory 102. When a part of the memory cells of the main memory 101 are defective, these defective memory cells are replaced by memory cells in the spare memory 102. The space memory 102 is decoded by the decoder circuit 104. The decoder circuit 104 is capable of decoding the spare memory 102 using a signal of an instruction memory 107. The instruction memory 107 is selectively enabled or disabled by an instruction control circuit 108. Consequently, in a state in which the instruction memory 107 is disabled by the control circuit 108, a spare memory selection signal is not provided from the instruction memory 107 to the decoder circuit 104 and the semiconductor memory device normally decodes the main memory including defective memory cells. As a result, the addresses and the like of the defective memory cells can be determined.Type: GrantFiled: August 7, 1986Date of Patent: May 2, 1989Assignee: Mitsubishi Denki Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Tsuyoshi Toyama, Kenji Kohda, Toshihiro Koyama
