Patent number: 10386200Abstract: A technique for displaying a scale-changed view of a narrow-angle branch intersection in an easily visually recognizable manner through simple processing. A map display system that displays a map on a display section includes: narrow-angle branch intersection determination code for determining whether or not a guide target intersection is a narrow-angle branch intersection at which an intersection angle between roads is smaller than a predetermined threshold; and a scale-changed view display for displaying a scale-changed view, which is obtained by changing a scale of the guide target intersection included in the map such that a value obtained by dividing a horizontal scale change rate by a vertical scale change rate is larger than 1, on the display section in the case where the guide target intersection is the narrow-angle branch intersection.Type: GrantFiled: January 5, 2015Date of Patent: August 20, 2019Assignee: AISIN AW CO., LTD.Inventor: Yuichi Osawa

Patent number: 6804089Abstract: The objective of this invention is to provide a yoke-type magnetic head and a magnetic recording device in which Barkhausen noise is low. It is possible to induce a magnetic flux efficiently within a magnetic head by using a granular magnetic film that exhibits both soft magnetic properties and a high resistance, which suppresses any shunt of the flow of the sense current into the magnetic yokes, thus preventing any deterioration insensitivity. Since this means that eddy currents can be suppressed, even during use in high-frequency regions, the frequency response characteristics are also improved. In addition, since the magnetic grains within the granular magnetic film are nano-sized, the dimensions of magnetic domains therein are also miniaturized to match that size, and thus there is also substantially no movement of the magnetic domain walls and this miniaturization also makes it possible to suppress the generation of Barkhausen noise.Type: GrantFiled: April 29, 2003Date of Patent: October 12, 2004Assignee: Kabushiki Kaisha ToshibaInventors: Tomomi Funayama, Yuichi Osawa, Masatoshi Yoshikawa, Hiroaki Yoda
