Patent number: 7236803Abstract: A CPU of a mobile telephone can carry out both a standby operation for monitoring an incoming call addressed to the mobile telephone and an image processing operation for processing an image captured by a camera. When a camera-dedicated mode is selected, the standby operation is prohibited during an image capture operation of the camera. When the image captured by the camera is processed, negative effects of the standby operation on the process of the image captured by the camera can be avoided. In this manner, the image captured by the camera can be smoothly, appropriately processed, enhancing the operability of the mobile telephone.Type: GrantFiled: May 23, 2006Date of Patent: June 26, 2007Assignee: DENSO CorporationInventors: Yoichiro Ban, Hiroaki Kuraoka

Patent number: 5667429Abstract: A floor surface blasting apparatus is used for removing rustproof coating (blasting) on a tank bottom surface to inspect weld lines on the bottom surface of high-capacity fuel tank. The floor surface blasting apparatus comprises a work arm which has weld line detecting sensors for detecting a weld line at the tip end and also has a blast head incorporating a suction nozzle; a work carriage which has the work arm and magnet devices incorporating a magnetic substance and travels arbitrarily on the floor surface; a transfer carriage which has a blast device for supplying blasting material to the blast head and travels arbitrarily on the floor surface; and a control device which controls the blast head so that the blast head is positioned on a weld line in accordance with the detection signal from the weld line detecting sensors and the signal of a position detecting device for detecting the position of the blast head and also makes the transfer carriage follow the work carriage.Type: GrantFiled: March 31, 1995Date of Patent: September 16, 1997Assignees: Chubu Electric Power Company, Inc., Mitsubishi Jukogyo Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Kiyoshi Uchida, Yoshikazu Miyachi, Kengo Hamanaka, Yoichiro Ban, Nagio Minami, Tadashi Nobushige
