  • Patent number: 8979081
    Abstract: A strut mount allows a sufficient pre-compression to be applied to a rubber member without impairing the retaining force for the rubber member, thereby achieving improved durability of the rubber member. A pre-compression member (4) has an outer diameter that is smaller in the distal end side than in the proximal end side, and is press-fitted into the inner peripheral surface of an inner tube member (1).

  • Publication number: 20150056399
    Abstract: The objective of the present invention is to provide a porous ultra-thin polymer film, and a method for producing said porous ultra-thin polymer film. The present invention provides a porous ultra-thin polymer film with a film thickness of 10 nm-1000 nm. In addition, the present invention provides a method for producing a porous ultra-thin polymer film, comprising the steps of: dissolving two types of mutually-immiscible polymers in a first solvent in an arbitrary proportion to obtain a solution; applying the solution onto a substrate and then removing the first solvent from the solution applied onto the substrate to obtain a phase-separated ultra-thin polymer film that has been phase-separated into a sea-island structure; and immersing the ultra-thin polymer film in a second solvent which is a good solvent for the polymer of the island parts but a poor solvent for a polymer other than the island parts to remove the island parts, thereby obtaining a porous ultra-thin polymer film.

  • Publication number: 20140108659
    Abstract: Supporting combination decisions of virtual resources to be located in a single physical resource includes acquiring change status information indicating a change in each of a plurality of virtual resources designated as virtual resource candidates to be located in a single physical resource and determining, using a processor, whether a high correlation exists between changes in the loads of each of the plurality of virtual resources indicated in the change status information by performing statistical processing on the change status information. A suitability of locating the plurality of virtual resources in a single physical resource is determined according to the determination of whether a high correlation exists.

  • Patent number: 8082006
    Abstract: A receiver of a wireless base station that uses a simple mode to detect a failure is provided, and an SW 201 switches whether an input port of the receiver 133 is to be connected with an antenna 114 or to be terminated. An LNA (a low noise amplifier) 205 amplifies an input signal with a low distortion. SWs 202 and 203 switch between a first path which runs through the LNA 205 and a second path 204 which does not run through the LNA 205. An AGC AMP, the gain of which is controlled such that the output thereof is constant, amplifies the signal with the controlled gain. A base station control section uses the SW 201 to terminate the input port of the receiver so that thermal noise is input to the LNA 205.
