Abstract: An objective is to provide a terminal device, a communication method, and a communication system in which the time taken by connection operations/authentication operations does not increase proportionally with the pattern length, even if the transmitting side and the receiving side are not synchronized. A terminal device, a communication method, and a communication system according to the present invention create n pieces of signal information (n-bit patterns) by sequentially shifting each bit of a single piece of received signal information (n-bit pattern) one bit at a time. Through the above, signal information time-shifted by one bit each is obtained. Thus, even if the transmitting side and the receiving side are not synchronized, one of the n pieces of signal information is a signal synchronized with the transmitting side. Thereafter, the signal synchronized with the transmitting side can be detected by a brute-force calculation with the patterns (ID information) in the list.

Abstract: A pinion gear is coaxially attached to vicinity of an end of an inner bar. The pinion gear is engaged with a rack gear and rotates in response to upward and downward movements of the tension bar. When the pinion rotates, the inner bar correspondingly rotates. The inner bar and an outer bar, which is a tension applying bar, are connected to each other so as to freely rotate. When the pinion rotates, the inner bar correspondingly rotates, while the outer bar remains unrotated.

Abstract: An inkjet printer is an inkjet printer for performing printing on a print medium, and includes: a platen, having a groove formed at a position facing an inkjet head and configured to support a print medium; an air blowing unit, for sucking air from an inside of the groove; a lid, attachable to and detachable from the platen and configured to cover an opening of the groove and support the print medium by a surface of the lid when attached to the platen; a storage part, for storing the lid detached from the platen; and a link mechanism, for guiding movement of the lid between the platen and the storage part.

Abstract: A wireless power receiving device includes a voltage detection unit that detects an output voltage value of a rectifying unit, a power reduction unit that includes a switching element connected to a charging unit in parallel, and a control unit that controls operations of the switching element. In a case where the output voltage value detected by the voltage detection unit exceeds a first reference voltage value set in advance, the control unit controls and turns the switching element on by applying a voltage to the switching element, and controls the value of the voltage to be applied to the switching element so that the difference between the voltage value calculated on the basis of a current flowing in the switching element and a second reference voltage value set in advance decreases.
