Patent number: 8864524Abstract: A connector capable of improving the durability and the contact reliability of a contact. In the contact, a pair of spring portions for pressing a contact portion against a card-type electronic component are formed continuous with the contact portion that is brought into contact with the card-type electronic component. A holding portion held by a housing is formed continuous with the spring portions A connection portion connected to a printed board is formed continuous with the holding portion. The spring portions are made elastically deformable independently of each other, and are bent such that part and the other part of each spring portion do not interfere with each other in a direction of height of the housing when the spring portion is elastically deformed.Type: GrantFiled: September 13, 2012Date of Patent: October 21, 2014Assignee: Japan Aviation Electronics Industry, LimitedInventor: Yuzo Sato

Publication number: 20130314408Abstract: A 3D image control apparatus is provided which prevents unevenness of luminance in an observed image on a screen caused in a 3D image viewing system including an impulse type display device and liquid crystal shutter glasses. The 3D image control apparatus includes an image processing unit configured to generate luminance signals for displaying a right eye image and a left eye image on the basis of an input image signal and output the signals to a display unit. The image processing unit performs arithmetic operation on an image signal corresponding to pixels on a predetermined number of vertical lines using correction values for increasing a luminance in accordance with the position of each vertical line so that a lack of transmittance for a rising period or falling period of shutters of liquid crystal shutter glasses is compensated for, thus generating luminance signals.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 6, 2013Publication date: November 28, 2013Applicant: CANON KABUSHIKI KAISHAInventor: Yuzo Sato

Patent number: 8540534Abstract: A connector having a housing and terminals, mates with a mating connector having mating terminals. The housing has a side wall, a facing wall and a receiving depression between the side wall and the facing wall. Each terminal is installed in the receiving depression and has an attached portion attached to the housing, a first spring portion extending from the attached portion, an upward-extending portion extending from the first spring portion, an elastic support portion extending from the upward-extending portion, and a contact portion supported by the elastic support portion. The upward-extending portion has an abutting portion opposite the facing wall. The elastic support portion is bendable more easily than a spring formed with the first spring portion and the upward-extending portion. The contact portion contacts the mating terminal when the connector is mated with the mating connector and the abutting portion is pressed against the facing wall.Type: GrantFiled: October 5, 2011Date of Patent: September 24, 2013Assignee: Japan Aviation Electronics Industry, LimitedInventors: Yuzo Sato, Hiroaki Obikane

Patent number: 8408931Abstract: Provided is a technique of reducing a force required to couple a receptacle connector and a plug connector. A receptacle assistant fitting of the receptacle connector includes a cantilevered lock beam having a deflection part extending in a direction substantially parallel to a connector mounting surface of a receptacle side substrate and in the outside of a receptacle housing. A plug assistant fitting of the plug connector includes an engagement part that pushes aside the free end of the lock beam and rides over the free end of the lock beam so as to be engaged with the free end of the lock beam when the plug connector and the receptacle connector are coupled to each other.Type: GrantFiled: December 9, 2010Date of Patent: April 2, 2013Assignee: Japan Aviation Electronics Industry, Ltd.Inventors: Yuzo Sato, Hiroaki Obikane, Yasufumi Yahiro, Akira Kimura, Takayuki Nishimura
