Yuta Sato has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 5469237
    Abstract: A data printing apparatus of this invention controls the emission timing or the emission interval of a light-emitting means on the basis of a signal according to traveling of a sheet film along a traveling path so as to print data free from blurring of characters or a variation in interval between characters on the sheet film having no perforations. After an exposure operation is ended, the apparatus feeds the sheet film from an exposure position along a spool wall. Light corresponding to digital numerals representing a date is emitted by light-emitting elements, and the date to be printed by the light-emitting elements is focused on the sheet film by an optical system. The date on the sheet film is printed during traveling of the sheet film along the spool wall.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 5130729
    Abstract: An acceleration of a vibration generated in an optical system of, e.g., a camera is detected by a subtracter from output signals of acceleration sensors. An absolute value circuit calculates an absolute value of an acceleration signal from the subtracter. A voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO) generates clocks having a frequency corresponding to a magnitude of the absolute value from the absolute value circuit. The clocks from the VCO are input to a clock terminal of an up/down counter. An ultrasonic motor (USM) drives the optical system in a direction to cancel the vibration. The USM is driven and controlled by a USM control circuit so as to be rotated at a speed corresponding to a count value of the counter. A motor speed detector detects a USM motor speed from output signals of a rotary encoder. An integrator integrates the acceleration signal from the subtracter to obtain a vibration speed.
