Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20110033213TRANSFER APPARATUS AND IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS - A transfer apparatus includes a transfer belt being configured to carry an image, a transfer roller having an elastic layer and being configured to transfer the image from the transfer belt onto a transfer material, and a backup roller being configured to have pressure against the transfer roller with the transfer belt therebetween in order to form a transfer nip portion. The transfer nip portion includes a pressure-contact nip and a contact nip. A length of the contact nip is smaller than half a length of the pressure-contact nip in the rotational direction of the transfer roller.02-10-2011

20090037064VEHICULAR RUNNING CONTROL APPARATUS AND VEHICULAR RUNNING CONTROL METHOD - In vehicular running apparatus and method, a yaw rate target deceleration calculated on a basis of a yaw rate and a preset lateral acceleration set value is compared with a navigation target deceleration calculated on a basis of a target vehicle speed calculated on a basis of a state of a curved road located in front of a running road on which the vehicle is running and the preset lateral acceleration to select a target deceleration from one of the yaw rate and navigation target decelerations which is lower than the other and a target vehicle speed command value is calculated on a basis of the selected target deceleration, the calculated vehicle speed command value being outputted to decelerating means of the vehicle.02-05-2009
20090037070SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING RUNNING OF A VEHICLE - A vehicle driving control system and method which enables the vehicle can travel through each curve at the optimum speed on an ordinary road and also on a highway. The controller and method uses a car navigation system to detect road classification about the road ahead of where the vehicle is running under guidance. When the road is an ordinary road, the following with respect to the preceding vehicle is given priority; when the road is a highway, the target vehicle speed obtained from the navigation information of car navigation system and the vehicle speed in the following mode are compared with each other, and the lower vehicle speed is selected (select-low) under control. As a result, it is possible to travel through the curves at a reliable speed not only on ordinary roads, but also on highways.02-05-2009
20100217494ADAPTIVE SPEED CONTROL DEVICE - An adaptive speed control device includes a posted speed change detecting section, a notification section, a set speed signal receiving section, and an adaptive speed control section. The posted speed change detecting section is configured to detect an upcoming change to a posted speed limit at. The notification section is configured to control a user interface device to notify a new posted speed limit at a prescribed notification timing before the vehicle reaches a transition point. The set speed signal receiving section is configured to accept a set speed signal from a user input device. The adaptive speed control section is configured to change a set speed of the vehicle according to the new posted speed limit and to automatically change a speed to the set speed upon receiving the set speed signal at or after a prescribed activation timing that occurs simultaneously with or after the prescribed notification timing.08-26-2010

20090055657Program Converting Device, Secure Processing Device, Computer Program, and Recording Medium - To provide a program conversion device capable of executing a program that includes a secret operation for decrypting encrypted data using secret information without exposure of the secret information in a memory thereby to improve confidentiality in execution of the program. In an execution program generation device 02-26-2009
20090235088Program conversion device, execution support device, and method and computer program for the same - A method invocation modification unit modifies method invocation described in a body program to dynamic invocation and modifies the method invocation to invocation via an execution support device. An encryption unit modifies the body program by encrypting a character string designating the dynamic invocation after modification by the method invocation modification unit. Therefore, the method invocation can be hidden and understanding of the program can be made difficult.09-17-2009
