Patent number: 7336303Abstract: An imaging control unit specifies a scan region, including an effective pixel region and a blanking region, of an image based on a magnification for electronic zooming, and converts an input optical signal into an electrical signal by scanning the scan region. The imaging control unit reads the electrical signal stored and delivers the electrical signal to an image sensor unit as picture data. An RW control unit stores the picture data in a register based on the magnification for electronic zooming, and then reads the picture data at a predetermined frame rate. A resolution converter performs interpolation processing of the picture data based on the magnification for electronic zooming.Type: GrantFiled: January 22, 2003Date of Patent: February 26, 2008Assignee: Renesas Technology Corp.Inventors: Kenichi Shimomura, Yoshikazu Kondo, Youichi Kato, Kenji Watanabe

Patent number: 7211347Abstract: A battery pack (1) has a double casing structure, including an inner case (2) disposed inside an outer case (3). The inner case (2) includes a radiator plate (9) that is in contact with the side walls of battery cells (4) disposed within the battery pack (1). A forked air passage (32) extends from an air inlet (27) and is defined between the inner case (2) and the outer case (3) and along the outer surface of the radiator plate (9) until reaching a pair of air outlets (31).Type: GrantFiled: December 19, 2002Date of Patent: May 1, 2007Assignee: Makita CorporationInventors: Masatoshi Sugiura, Youichi Kato, Kazuyuki Sakakibara

Patent number: 6783886Abstract: A battery pack (1) includes an outer enclosure (2) and a forked air passage (72) for introducing cooling air via the intake port (9) formed in an outer enclosure (2), sending the air between cell groups (70) and (71) which contain cells (14a-14f), and discharging it from the outer enclosure at discharge ports (11). Two metallic radiator plates (73) partially define the air passage so as to be in contact with the side cells (14a-14d), whereas a circular radiator plate (74) made of synthetic resin also partially define the air passage so as to be in contact with the center cells (14e, 14f). The contact areas of the side cells with the metallic radiator plates (73) are varied in order to achieve even cooling of the cells. The upstream portion of the synthetic resin radiator plate has a thicker wall than the downstream portion to achieve the same purpose.Type: GrantFiled: November 7, 2000Date of Patent: August 31, 2004Assignee: Makita CorporationInventors: Kazuyuki Sakakibara, Youichi Kato, Hisakazu Okabayashi

Publication number: 20040017596Abstract: An imaging control unit 4 specifies a scan region including an effective pixel region and a blanking region based on the magnification for electronic zooming, and converts an input optical signal into an electrical signal by scanning the scan region. The imaging control unit 4 reads the electrical signal stored therein and delivers it to an image sensor unit 1 as picture data. An RW control unit 6 stores the picture data in a register 5 based on the magnification for electronic zooming, and then reads the picture data at a predetermined frame rate. A resolution converter 7 performs an interpolation processing on the picture data based on the magnification for electronic zooming.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 22, 2003Publication date: January 29, 2004Applicant: Mitsubishi Denki Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Kenichi Shimomura, Yoshikazu Kondo, Youichi Kato, Kenji Watanabe

Patent number: 5769657Abstract: A simple attachment structure of the present invention ensures favorable connection of a battery pack with a battery holder in a power-driven tool over a long time period without causing any defective contact. A pair of side slots (47a,47b) as well as a pair of insertion slots (48a,48b) are formed in a connection surface (49) of an upper battery case (20) of a battery pack (10). Electrode terminal assemblies (41a,41b) are set in the side slots (47a,47b) and the insertion slots (48a,48b) to be exposed on the two side faces thereof. A positive spring terminal (64a) and a negative spring terminal (64b) are integrally joined with and supported by a terminal base 61 of a battery holder (60). Each spring terminal (64a,64b) has an insertion element (66a,66b) formed to have a width a little greater than the width of the insertion slot (48a,48b).Type: GrantFiled: February 22, 1996Date of Patent: June 23, 1998Assignee: Makita CorporationInventors: Masayoshi Kondo, Takahide Kawakami, Norio Isogai, Youichi Kato, Katsumi Tozawa
