  • Patent number: 7222893
    Abstract: A structure for attaching a striker, having an attachment bracket including a base fastened to a panel, and a protruding portion joined to the base. The protruding portion extends in a direction different from a direction in which the base is arranged. The striker may have a swelling portion which swells in a direction going away from the base, and is attached to the protruding portion. The structure may include a cover member for covering an outside of the attachment bracket, and a work hole for adjusting the position of the striker is formed in the cover member. Typically, the striker has a base plate and a striker main portion. The base plate is selectively approachable to and retreatable from the attachment bracket via screw members which are inserted through a through hole provided in the protruding portion of the attachment bracket and are adjustably screwed into the base plate.

  • Publication number: 20030157889
    Abstract: A request control portion (3) in a radio mobile unit (A) detects a state or a content of reception data, and determines whether or not it is necessary to optimize reception data of a station. If the reception data is determined to be optimized, the request control portion (3) generates request information corresponding to a content of a modification request with respect to a radio mobile unit (B), and the radio mobile unit A adds the generated request information to transmission data for transmission to the radio mobile unit (B). When modification is requested from demodulation data in the request detecting portion (3) in the radio mobile unit (3), the request control portion (3) modifies control for a voice processing portion (40) and an image processing portion (60) corresponding to the request content. Thus, compared to modifying the reception data of the station only with control thereof, extensive optimization of the same can be realized.
