Patent number: 8776979Abstract: Disclosed is a parking lock apparatus which can prevent an electric actuator from being accessed from the outside of the vehicle, and thereby can prevent the function of the parking lock apparatus from being lowered as well as can reduce the production cost in comparison with the conventional parking lock apparatus. The parking lock apparatus comprises an electric actuator 11 to be activated in response to the shift operation, and a parking lock apparatus 12 capable of selectively taking a parking lock maintained state to have the stoppage state of a vehicle 1 maintained or a parking lock released state to have the stoppage state of the vehicle 1 released. The electric actuator 11 is disposed between a first housing 1H partly constituting an engine 2 for generating a power and a second housing 2H partly constituting a transaxle 3 for transmitting the power generated by the engine 2.Type: GrantFiled: June 22, 2010Date of Patent: July 15, 2014Assignee: Toyota Jidosha Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Yosuke Kato, Michitaka Tsuchida

Publication number: 20140003157Abstract: A compact and versatile high speed sense amplifier suitable for use in non-volatile memory circuits is presented. The sense amp circuit uses one power supply level for the bit line driving path and a second supply level for a data latch of the sense amp. The latch's supply level is of a high level that used for driving the bit lines and can be provided by a charge pump. The sense amp need use only NMOS devices for its analog path. For balancing performance and current consumption, the sense amp also includes an additional latch to support a “hybrid lockout” sensing mode, where in a verify operation a read-lockout is used between different data states, but not between the low and high quick pass write (QPW) verifies.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 17, 2013Publication date: January 2, 2014Applicant: SanDisk Technologies Inc.Inventors: Man Lung Mui, Yosuke Kato, Hao Thai Nguyen, Seungpil Lee

Patent number: 8427874Abstract: A nonvolatile memory array is organized into a plurality of interleaving even and odd blocks. When a block is selected for operation, a set of word line voltages are delivered to the block of word lines by space-efficient decoding circuits and scheme. The plurality of blocks is organized into an array of pairs of adjacent odd and even blocks. A first voltage bus allows all even blocks access to the set of word line voltages. A second voltage bus allows all odd blocks access to the set of word line voltages. A decoder for selection is provided for each pair of adjacent even and odd blocks. Selecting a block is effected by selecting the pair of adjacent even and odd blocks containing the selected block, and supplying the set of word line voltages only to the selected block, which is one of the even or odd block in the selected pair.Type: GrantFiled: April 25, 2011Date of Patent: April 23, 2013Assignee: SanDisk Technologies, Inc.Inventor: Yosuke Kato

Publication number: 20070159658Abstract: An index image consists of a plurality of thumbnail images arranged in a matrix array. The thumbnail images are produced from image data of a series of images. Where the images are recorded as RAW image data and other format image data within a series, an index image output apparatus superimposes a rectangular frame image of a particular color on each of those thumbnail images which are produced from the RAW image data, to produce a distinguishing thumbnail image. Then the index image include distinguishing thumbnail images and ordinary thumbnail images, so it is easy for the user to distinguish the RAW format images from other images of other formats.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 11, 2007Publication date: July 12, 2007Applicant: FUJIFILM CorporationInventor: Yosuke Kato

Publication number: 20070153111Abstract: Upon pressing a power switch, a power supply of an electronic camera is turned on. A subject image is taken by a camera unit and is converted into image data for which a corrector performs image processing. The processed image data is displayed on a monitor as a through image in real time. A function for displaying a recommended shooting mode is turned on, and a shooting angle is determined while the through image is viewed. Upon half depression of a shutter button, the through image is sent to an image analyzer to estimate a shooting scene. On the basis of the estimated shooting scene, a mode judging unit judges the shooting mode to be recommended. The monitor displays the recommended shooting mode. The displayed shooting mode is selected and determined to set the recommended shooting mode. Regular shooting is performed upon full depression of the shutter button.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 4, 2007Publication date: July 5, 2007Applicant: FUJIFILM CorporationInventor: Yosuke Kato

Patent number: 7231601Abstract: A digital pen-based application form filling system with a modification prevention function, which eliminates a possibility that digital information initially written in digital paper using a digital pen may be modified deliberately or accidentally. The system prints a new fine pattern over areas in already written digital paper whose contents one wishes to protect against being modified. This printing adds a fine pattern to an original dot pattern already present on the digital paper to make it theoretically impossible to enter information into these areas using the digital pen.Type: GrantFiled: February 4, 2004Date of Patent: June 12, 2007Assignee: Hitachi, Ltd.Inventors: Hiroshi Sako, Naohiro Furukawa, Hisashi Ikeda, Yosuke Kato

Publication number: 20050093832Abstract: A mail system for executing a mail service has a user management part for managing the information that the user previously registered, and a unit for utilizing the registered information as the destination of mails, so that the addresses of recipients can be efficiently managed. The sender acquires an address card that has printed with a pattern linking with the information of recipients. This address card is used when the sender writes a mail, and thus it serves to reduce the load on the sending operation. If a pattern linking with usage history information is printed on the mail, it also reduces the burden on the reply operation in which the recipient sends a reply back to the sender. The use of this usage history information for grasping the usage serves to efficiently adjust and calculate the cost for the service.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 29, 2004Publication date: May 5, 2005Inventors: Naohiro Furukawa, Hisashi Ikeda, Hiroshi Sako, Yosuke Kato
