Abstract: To generate homogenized super-micro bubbles of nano-scale in a simple structure and at a low cost, a super-micro bubble generator has a cylindrical casing provided with an opening for the introduction of a liquid at one end and an outlet for delivery of the liquid at the other end, and the cylindrical casing includes: a flow speed increasing part for increasing the flow speed of the liquid introduced from the introduction opening; a gas suction part for drawing gas from the outside into the casing, wherein the pressure is decreased by a liquid flow whose flow speed is increased in the flow speed increasing part; and a super-micro bubble-containing liquid producing part for shearing, by the liquid flow whose flow speed is increased in the flow speed increasing part, the gas that is sucked by the gas suction part and generating a liquid including super-micro bubbles, in this order, from the introduction opening to the delivery opening.

Abstract: A mobile device comprising a first touch panel and a second touch panel for displaying images is disclosure. A decision module is operable to indicate a touch condition, if a touch position on a first touch panel is changed to a predefined direction toward a second touch panel, and if a touch is detected on both the first touch panel and the second touch panel. A display control module is operable to display at least some of an image displayed on the second touch panel on the first touch panel in response to the touch condition.

Abstract: A cylindrical mixer having an opening portion on both ends forms an axial flow path and a first fluid introduced into the axial flow path through the opening portion at one end flows therethrough in the axial direction and the first fluid exits from the opening portion at the other end; and a spiral flow path and a second fluid introduced into the spiral flow path through a hole formed in a peripheral wall of the mixer is made to flow along an inner peripheral surface of the mixer while being swirled in a spiral manner about an axis of the axial flow path so that the first fluid and the second fluid are mixed and a mixture of the first fluid and the second fluid exits from an opening potion at the end to refine and homogenize a dispersion phase on a micro level to a sub-micro level.

Abstract: This document describes a stationary illumination device for general purpose room lighting. The goals of this invention are to reduce unnecessary electrical energy consumption while providing easy access to room lighting controls. This invention is comprised of two physical components which together form a system. The first component is a stationary illumination device, nearly identical in appearance to common household lighting devices currently available (2003), but which contains electronic circuitry to add feature and functionality previously not available. The second component is a wireless infrared remote control device which sends commands to the stationary illumination device from a distance of up to approximately 10 meters, with an integral white LED illumination element that allows the wireless infrared remote control device to be used a flashlight.

Abstract: This document describes a automatic lighting device that provides temporary illumination to assist an individual in locating a light switch or other source of light during low light conditions. This design incorporates improved performance, features, and functionality over previously published designs. The design shown here consists of a battery powered device housed by a plastic enclosure (1) approximately equivalent in size to a pack of cigarettes, and a permanent magnet (2). The device (1) is intended to be mounted above a doorway while the permanent magnet (2) is intended to be mounted to a door. The significant elements within the device (1) are batteries (3), one or more light emitting diodes (LED) (4), a magnetic field detecting element (5), a light detecting element (6), and a programmable microcontroller integrated circuit (MCU-IC) (7). Some of the primary design goals of this device are flexibility of placement, low maintenance, long battery life, and ease of use.

Abstract: A friction member is provided which can suppress judder without impairing wear resistance. The friction member is prepared by impregnating or coating base fibers with a composition containing rubber and/or resin to prepare the yarn for the friction member, preshaping the yarn into an annular form, and then thermally molding the preshaped yarn. The friction member has porosity in a range from about 10% to about 20%.
