Publication number: 20160047418Abstract: A carrier is supported by a case via a bearing. The bearing comprises an inner race, an outer race, rollers, and a retainer. The inner race has a tapered outer peripheral surface, and is fixed to a carrier. The outer race has a tapered inner peripheral surface facing the outer peripheral surface of the inner race, and is fixed to the case. The rollers is disposed between the inner race and the outer race. An end part of the retainer having a larger diameter makes contact with the case via a first member. The larger diameter end part of the retainer makes contact with the case via a second member. By the retainer making contact with the case and the carrier via the first member and the second member, the retainer can reduce friction compared to when making direct contact with the case and the carrier.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 6, 2014Publication date: February 18, 2016Inventors: Daisuke MATSUI, Yusuke KATAOKA

Publication number: 20150262020Abstract: A marking line detection system includes an imaging device, a marking line candidate detection unit, a marking line correction unit, a center line determination unit and a validity determination unit. The marking line candidate detection unit detects first and second vehicle's marking line candidates. The marking line correction unit corrects a position of the second vehicle's marking line candidate based on a position of the first vehicle's marking line candidate. When the first vehicle's marking line candidate is the valid center line, the marking line correction unit performs a correction of the position of the second vehicle's marking line candidate based on the position of the first vehicle's marking line candidate. When the first vehicle's marking line candidate is not the valid center line, the marking line correction unit does not perform the correction based on the position of the first vehicle's marking line candidate.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 9, 2015Publication date: September 17, 2015Applicant: TOYOTA JIDOSHA KABUSHIKI KAISHAInventor: Yusuke KATAOKA

Patent number: 7791868Abstract: A display panel stand holding portion for supporting the display panel in the standing position is formed at the upper end portion of the back cabinet as a part of the casing of the display device. The display panel stand holding portion includes the display panel stand mount portion, and the display panel support members. This makes it possible to support the display panel vertically when it is mounted on the display panel stand mount portion. The connector cables extending from the power supply circuit board is clamped to the temporary holding portion to be formed on the back cabinet before assembly of the display panel to be inclined at the predetermined position. The deterioration in the working efficiency caused by entanglement of the connector cables may be prevented.Type: GrantFiled: December 22, 2008Date of Patent: September 7, 2010Assignee: Orion Electric Co., Ltd.Inventors: Yusuke Kataoka, Hidenobu Mukougawa, Tamotsu Mitamura, Takanori Maeno, Yoshikazu Saga

Publication number: 20070089976Abstract: Damage to a part when assembling a substrate from behind a casing mounted with push buttons is prevented. When a circuit substrate is mounted in a casing to which a push button is attached, a circuit substrate is inserted along a guide groove of the push button. At this time, the contact section is pushed by the circuit substrate and the circuit substrate is engaged with the contact section with a second hinge section deflected. This causes the circuit substrate to be parallel with a pushing section with a tiny gap in between and a pushing operation of an operation button deforms a first hinge section and the pushing section turns ON/OFF a switch.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 18, 2006Publication date: April 26, 2007Applicant: ORION ELECTRIC CO., LTD.Inventors: Takato Oda, Seigo Ohkubo, Yusuke Kataoka
