Publication number: 20080016519Abstract: A screen transition program generating device searches a processing program corresponding to an event in a screen defining file, which is source code to define the screen, when a user provides instructions to create an executable file for preview, and changes a processing program corresponding to the searched event into a runtime library calling program required for the transition between screens corresponding to the event by referencing screen transition information that defines relationship between the previously created event and the transition between screens. Then it generates the executable file for preview from the screen defining file including the runtime library calling program.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 12, 2007Publication date: January 17, 2008Applicant: NEC CORPORATIONInventor: Yuko KOBAYASHI

Publication number: 20070273080Abstract: A pile of sheets is held by a separator/feeder and a vibrator is brought into contact with a first region of the pile with a first contact pressure. High frequency vibrations are applied from the vibrator to the sheet. A takeout mechanism is brought into contact with and pressed against the pile with a second contact pressure and sheets are taken out one by one from the top surface of the pile by the takeout mechanism. A first sensor detects the position of the vibrator and outputs a first detection signal, while a second sensor detects the uppermost surface of the pile and outputs a second detection signal. A control section selects first and second contact pressures according to the first and second detection signals and maintains the first and second contact pressures.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 22, 2007Publication date: November 29, 2007Inventors: Kiminori Toya, Hideki Nukada, Yuko Kobayashi

Patent number: 7293641Abstract: In a belt driving mechanism, an endless belt is wrapped around a driving roller and a driven roller. The endless belt runs between the driving roller and the driven roller. The axis of the driven roller is placed so as to form a certain angle of torsion to a plane containing opposite ends of the driving roller and a middle point between opposite ends of the driven roller. Rotation of the driven roller is decelerated or stopped with the driving roller keeping on rotating to run the endless belt. Resistance is thus offered to between the endless belt and the driven roller while keeping the driving roller rotating to run the endless belt, so that the endless belt is slipped on the driven roller.Type: GrantFiled: March 27, 2006Date of Patent: November 13, 2007Assignee: Kabushiki Kaisha ToshibaInventors: Kiminori Toya, Hideki Nukada, Yuko Kobayashi

Publication number: 20070205551Abstract: In a device that separates a sheet and extracts the sheet from a stack of the sheets, the stack of sheets is placed on a sheet feeding unit. A vibrator is contact with the top surface of the stack at a spot to vibrate the sheets at a high frequency. The high-frequency vibration reduces the adhesion and frictional force among the sheets. A sheet extraction mechanism conveys each sheet.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 27, 2006Publication date: September 6, 2007Inventors: Hideki Nukada, Yuko Kobayashi, Kiminori Toya
