| 20110073209 | FLEXIBLE VIBRATION ABSORBING TUBE - A flexible tube includes a bellows tube, an interlock tube placed inside the bellows tube, and upstream-side and downstream-side joint pipes coupled to opposite ends of the bellows tube. Diameters of fixing end portions located at opposite ends of the interlock tube are made larger than a diameter at a middle portion of the interlock tube, extension portions of the upstream-side and downstream-side joint pipes are fitted and fixed to inner peripheral surfaces of the fixing end portions of the interlock tube, and a depth of each of valley portions of a bellows portion of the bellows tube located over the fixing end portions is smaller than a depth of other valley portions of the bellows portion. Accordingly, it is possible to achieve the downsizing of the flexible tube that is connected to an exhaust system being continuous with an engine to dampen vibrations in the axial direction of the exhaust system. | 03-31-2011 |

| 20090209811 | PROCESSOR FOR ENDOSCOPE AND ENDOSCOPE SYSTEM - An electronic endoscope is detachably connected to a processor via a first control connector and a second control connector. Contacts provided at side ends of the flat-shaped second control connector are connected to a CPU. The CPU detects start of removal of the first control connector in response to a change in voltage of one of ports, to which the contacts are connected, from low to high. When the CPU detects the start of the removal, drive signals from a CCD driver to a CCD is stopped. Then, power supply from a power supply section to the CCD is stopped. | 08-20-2009 |
| 20090209818 | PROCESSOR FOR ENDOSCOPE - A processor is provided with a power supply circuit for supplying voltages of different values to a CCD. A RAM of the processor stores a power control information table in which types of the CCD and power control information indicating methods of supplying each voltage to the CCD are related and stored. A CPU retrieves CCD information indicating the type of the CCD from a ROM and identifies the type of the CCD. The CPU then retrieves the power control information corresponding to the identified type from the power control information table. Based on the power control information, the CPU controls the power supply circuit to supply voltages of different values to the CCD in a sequence and at an interval corresponding to the type of the CCD. | 08-20-2009 |
| 20090231418 | IMAGE PROCESSOR FOR ENDOSCOPE AND IMAGE PROCESSING METHOD FOR ENDOSCOPE - An image processor for processing endoscopic images is provided with a first masking processor for masking a useless marginal area of each frame of the endoscopic image that is output from an endoscope, a PIP processor for resolution conversion and PIP processing of the endoscopic image frames after the masking, and a second masking processor for masking a composite image output from the PIP processor. The PIP processor may be configured using a commercially available general-purpose IC for video output. Although a border between an image display area and a masked area of the endoscopic image gets rough as a result of the resolution conversion to increase the resolution of the image, the second masking processor masks the rough-edged border so as to sharpen the border, so the rim around the image display area is sharp and clear as the endoscopic image is displayed on the screen. | 09-17-2009 |

| 20080271988 | Thin Film Forming Sputtering Target, Dielectric Thin Film, Optical Disc and Production Method Therefor - Diffusion of water or oxygen present in the dielectric protection film is restrained by eliminating free oxygen in an oxide thin film while maintaining the characteristics of a dielectric protection film. As the dielectric material for forming a dielectric protection film for an optical disc or the like, an oxide mixture thin film of a niobium oxide and one of a silicon oxide and a titanium oxide is used. In a preferable example, a target made of a niobium oxide as the main component with 1 to 30% by weight of a silicon oxide added is used for formation of an oxide thin film by sputtering. Moreover, the oxide thin film is formed preferably in a nitrogen atmosphere. A nitrogen containing oxide thin film is produced by carrying out sputtering using a target with the oxygen lacked and a minute amount of nitrogen added. Thereby, a thin film having little reducing function and a high barrier property while having the characteristics comparable to a complete oxide can be produced. | 11-06-2008 |
