Patent number: 10088795Abstract: There is provided a cleaning blade including an elastic member and a supporting member, in which a free end of the elastic member has an edge and a hardened surface constituting the edge. The cleaning blade satisfies a relationship of 0.10?DHs?0.40 and DHs?DHm where DHs (mN/?m2) represents a dynamic hardness of the hardened surface and DHm (mN/?m2) represents a maximum value of a dynamic hardness obtained in a positional range in which a distance L from the edge on a straight line that bisect an angle of the edge satisfies 0 ?m<L?200 ?m and in AFM-IR spectrum of the hardened surface, peak intensity ? C?O free (1724 to 1736 cm?1) derived from a urethane group and peak intensity ? C?O bond (1708 to 1720 cm?1) derived from a urethane group hydrogen bond has a specific relationship.Type: GrantFiled: October 11, 2017Date of Patent: October 2, 2018Assignee: CANON KABUSHIKI KAISHAInventors: Yohei Ikeda, Arihiro Yamamoto, Tomoya Kawakami

Publication number: 20180056467Abstract: Provided is a clamp device of an indexing apparatus that indexes a main shaft, which is rotatably supported in an accommodation hole of a frame via a bearing, to a set angular position by rotating the main shaft by using a driving device. The clamp device includes a working channel that connects an air supply device, which supplies compressed air, to a pressure chamber in the clamp device. The clamp device operates to retain an angular position of the main shaft when compressed air is supplied from the air supply device. The clamp device includes a pressure transmitting portion that is interposed in the working channel and in which a piston is slidably disposed. A portion of the working channel on the pressure chamber side of the piston in the pressure transmitting portion is filled with an incompressible fluid.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 8, 2017Publication date: March 1, 2018Inventors: Junichiro Ishizaki, Yohei Ikeda

Patent number: 7650279Abstract: To shorten an output delay while a high sound source separation performance is ensured when a sound separation process based on an ICA method is performed. A second Fourier transform process execution cycle t2 for obtaining a second frequency-domain signal S1 used as an input signal of a filter process is set shorter than a first Fourier transform process execution cycle t1 for obtaining a first frequency-domain signal used for a learning computation of a separating matrix. When the time length of a second time-domain signal S1 is set shorter than a time length of a first time-domain signal S0, a second separating matrix used for a filter process is set by aggregating matrix components of a first separating matrix obtained through a learning calculation for every a plurality of groups.Type: GrantFiled: June 26, 2007Date of Patent: January 19, 2010Assignee: Kabushiki Kaisha Kobe Seiko ShoInventors: Takashi Hiekata, Yohei Ikeda

Publication number: 20070133811Abstract: A sound source separation apparatus performs a temporary learning processing and a temporary separation processing with respect to each of a plurality of candidate matrixes (separating matrixes obtained by learning calculation based on input signals of different sound source conditions) stored on a candidate matrix memory in advance. The apparatus determines an initial matrix of the separating matrix based on the obtained correlation evaluation of the separated signals. The learning calculations of the initial matrix determination processing and separating matrix based on the initial matrix are performed at a time of the sound source separation processing by the apparatus and when a degree of correlation among the separated signals by a correlation evaluation part exceeds a predetermined level.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 22, 2006Publication date: June 14, 2007Inventors: Hiroshi Hashimoto, Takashi Hiekata, Takashi Morita, Yohei Ikeda
