Publication number: 20050088384Abstract: Image de/coding unit 801 decodes coded image data and stores the image data on a temporary basis. Image address bus 123 and image data bus 124 connect image de/coding unit 801 and image display section 901. Image display section 901 stores image data like moving images in frame memory 914 which is a preexisting circuit, and displays the images that are for specified areas and that are produced in image de/coding unit 801 and previously produced images stored in frame memory 914 in overlap. By this means, it is possible to reduce the traffic on MPU (Micro Processor Unit) busses and to present large-volume image data such as moving images by relatively simple additions of functions.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 14, 2004Publication date: April 28, 2005Applicant: MATSUSHITA ELECTRIC INDUSTRIAL CO., LTD.Inventors: Tadashi Kayada, Yutaka Machida, Takeshi Yukitake, Hiroyuki Ito, Kosuke Kubota, Koji Abe, Yoji Fujiwara

Patent number: 6564040Abstract: A communication device and a communication method, which is capable of reducing noises due to higher harmonic components and avoiding disturbance over a receiving function or a transmitting function by setting an oscillation frequency of an operation clock easily at a high speed and with high precision. The oscillation frequency of the operation clock is calculated by a microcomputer 109 such that higher harmonics of the operation frequency of the operation clock CLK1 can be positioned farthest from the receiving frequency, and a frequency dividing ratio of a variable frequency divider 105 of a PLL frequency synthesizer is set by a control signal CTL1 according to the operation frequency of the calculated operation clock CLK1, and then the operation clock CLK1 is generated by the PLL frequency synthesizer and then supplied to the microcomputer 109.Type: GrantFiled: May 18, 2000Date of Patent: May 13, 2003Assignee: Matsushita Electric Industrial Co., Ltd.Inventor: Yoji Fujiwara

Patent number: 5757279Abstract: A pager having a first switch for selecting a scrolling direction, a second switch, a first display for displaying the selected scrolling direction, and a second display for displaying a received message with scrolling in the selected scrolling direction in response to the second switch. With only two switches, a next message, a previous message, a next page of the displayed message and a previous page of message can be displayed. Moreover, the first switch can select modes in addition to selection of the scrolling direction. Either of first and second switches can be omitted with an analyzing portion for analyzing an operation pattern of the remaining switch to provided first and second command signals for controlling the selection of the scrolling direction or modes and the controlling of the scrolling respectively. Therefore, with a few switches, various displaying of the received message can be provided and a cost of manufacturing this pager is reduced.Type: GrantFiled: December 15, 1995Date of Patent: May 26, 1998Assignee: Matsushita Electric Industrial Co., Ltd.Inventor: Yoji Fujiwara

Patent number: 5224327Abstract: A lawn mower includes a blade housing enclosing grass cutting blades and having a lateral discharge opening, a blower unit connected to the discharge opening, and a duct connected to the blower unit for transporting grass clippings to a grass catcher. The blower unit includes an elbow-like lower blower housing connected to the blade housing, an upper blower housing having a substantially vertical cylindrical side wall connected to the duct, and an impeller mounted in the upper blower housing to be rotatable about a vertical axis. The impeller has a plane of rotation above a plane of rotation of the blades. The lower blower housing includes a flange for connection to the upper blower housing. The flange has an opening elongated in a direction along a passage defined by the two blower housings. This opening has width approximately half of the diameter of the impeller.Type: GrantFiled: June 23, 1992Date of Patent: July 6, 1993Assignee: Kubota CorporationInventors: Akira Minoura, Masagi Kure, Yoji Fujiwara, Masatake Murakawa, Masatsugu Tone, Mikio Yuki

Patent number: 5123234Abstract: A working vehicle has a grass cutting unit vertically movable relative to a vehicle body, a lift mechanism for raising and lowering the grass cutting unit, a clutch for making and breaking transmission of blade driving power to the grass cutting unit, and a device for controlling the lift mechanism. The control device controls the lift mechanism to lower the grass cutting unit when the clutch is operated to transmit power to the grass cutting unit, and to raise the grass cutting unit when the clutch is operated to break power tranmission to the grass cutting unit. According to this construction, only a device for actuating the clutch may be operated to switch between an operative condition in which the grass cutting unit is lowered and its cutting blades driven, and an inoperative condition in which the grass cutting unit is raised with the cutting blades stopped. Alternatively, the control device may control the clutch through a device for actuating the lift mechanism.Type: GrantFiled: April 2, 1991Date of Patent: June 23, 1992Assignee: Kubota CorporationInventors: Eriya Harada, Yoji Fujiwara

Patent number: 5113819Abstract: A cooling system for a vertical, liquid cooled engine having a first passage for guiding cooling air to a cooling fan disposed above the engine, and a second passage for guiding the cooling air drawn by the cooling fan to flow past the engine and to be exhausted forwardly and downwardly of the engine. The first passage includes an air inlet defined rearwardly of the engine, and is defined by part of an engine hood, a vertical bracket plate erected behind the engine, and a partition extending from the engine hood over an upper surface of the engine. Devices accessory to the engine which are vulnerable to the heat are mounted in a space inside the first passage. The second passage is formed by an air guide cover enveloping the engine and cooling fan and defining an opening in a region opposed to the cooling fan. The air guide cover includes a front portion extending downwardly along the cylinder head.Type: GrantFiled: March 12, 1991Date of Patent: May 19, 1992Assignee: Kubota CorporationInventors: Masatake Murakawa, Ryozo Imanishi, Yoji Fujiwara

Patent number: 5042604Abstract: A working vehicle comprising an engine mounted on a vehicle frame, a control box mounted on the vehicle frame, and a radiator erected on the vehicle frame between the engine and the control box structure. A dust-proof space is defined by the control box, the radiator and a hinged hood covering the engine. Elastic sealing elements are arranged between opposite lateral sides of the control box and the radiator, and between an upper end of the radiator and the hood. The hood in a closed position presses upon the upper elastic elements to provide an additional support for the radiator and to seal the dust-proof space.Type: GrantFiled: September 11, 1989Date of Patent: August 27, 1991Assignee: Kubota, Ltd.Inventors: Masatsugu Tone, Mikio Yuki, Ryozo Imanishi, Yoji Fujiwara, Akira Minoura
