  • HEAD-MOUNTED DEVICE
    Publication number: 20090066607
    Abstract: A head-mounted device to be worn on a user's head includes a first pressing member to press, for example, an occipital region, a second pressing member to press, for example, a parietal region, and first and second linear members connected to the first and second pressing members respectively. The first and second linear members are guided so that a change in lengths of the first and second linear members causes the first and second pressing members to move in the first and second directions respectively. An adjustment unit to adjust the lengths of the first and second linear members includes first and second wind-up units connected to a rotational operation member and to wind up the first and second linear members respectively.

  • REFERENCE OSCILLATOR ASSEMBLY
    Publication number: 20080143628
    Abstract: It is difficult to check the suitability of a radio anechoic room as a measuring environment, even when countermeasures for preventing reflection of electromagnetic waves and blocking electromagnetic waves are taken against the radio anechoic room and incidental equipment disposed therein, for example. Depending on the circumstances, measurement reliability is decreased when the measurement is taken without recognizing that these countermeasures are insufficient. Therefore, there is a demand for a device that can easily and quickly check whether a measuring environment, such as a radio anechoic room, or a measuring system is suitable for measurement.
