  • Patent number: 11962433
    Abstract: A switch device includes a plurality of communication ports; a switch unit configured to relay a frame, which has been transmitted from a function unit and to which information including an ID of a VLAN is added, to another function unit via a communication port; and a duplication unit configured to, when the diagnosis device is connected to another switch device, duplicate the frame to be relayed via a designated communication port among the plurality of communication ports, and generate a duplicate frame for diagnosis that is a frame obtained by adding, to a duplicate frame obtained through the duplication, specific information indicating that the duplicate frame for diagnosis should be transmitted to the diagnosis device. The switch unit outputs the duplicate frame for diagnosis generated by the duplication unit from a communication port corresponding to the other switch device.

  • Patent number: 11935026
    Abstract: A payment terminal includes a magnetic card reader slot having a magnetic head, an IC card reader slot configured to be front of a user, and a first board with a touch area for a contactless payment arranged diagonally upward toward the user. The magnetic card reader slot is arranged toward the user obliquely upward with respect to a direction parallel to the plane. The magnetic card reader slot and the IC card reader slot are arranged, so that a swipe direction of the magnetic card into the magnetic card reader slot and an insertion direction of an IC card into the IC card reader slot are substantially perpendicular to each other. The magnetic card reader slot, the IC card reader slot, and the first board are arranged in this order from the plane in a height direction.

  • Patent number: 5048584
    Abstract: A radial tire for a construction vehicle includes a tread, a pair of sidewalls extending radially inwardly and terminating in inner edges having bead cores embedded therein, a carcass made of a steel cord ply extending between the bead cores, a belt arranged between the carcass and the tread to form with the carcass a main reinforcing layer, and bead reinforcing layers. Each of the bead reinforcing layers includes at least two sets of fiber cord layers. Each of the sets has at least two fiber cord layers. The at least two sets of the fiber cord layers are arranged extending radially outwardly from the proximity of an axially outer portion of the bead core and spaced each other to have a minimum spaced distance in the proximity of the bead core and a maximum spaced distance at radially outer end between the two sets of fiber cord layers, said fiber cord layers within said sets being substantially uniformly spaced from each other.

  • Patent number: 4989659
    Abstract: A pneumatic radial tire includes a carcass anchored to a pair of beads, and laminated belts having at least two belt layers circumferentially extending outside of a crown portion of the carcass and consisting of cords intersecting between adjacent belt layers. One of the laminated belts is divided in circumferential directions of the tire into a center portion and two side portions. A divided width A of the divided belt from its center to its divided points has a relationW/4.ltoreq.A<Wwhere R is a half of a width of another laminated belt. Directions of cords of the center portion and the side portions of the divided belt are substantially the same, while cord angles .alpha.out of the cores of the side portions of the divided belt with the circumferential directions are larger than cord angles .alpha.c of the center portion of the divided belt with the circumferential directions.
