  • Patent number: 7775475
    Abstract: The object of the present invention is to provide a winding drum for a sheet-like member which can change reliably the range of air sucking intake holes by a simple structure, and to provide a winding drum which can prevent the generation of an unwanted contact mark on the sheet-like member. This winding drum having a hollow portion which is in communication with the intake holes of the drum body, a changeover member which is releasably attached in the hollow portion and which is formed so as to extend along the inner peripheral surface of the hollow portion, and an air passage (second communicating holes, first communicating hole, and hole) which is provided on the changeover member and which communicates intake holes of a predetermined range in the axial direction of the drum body with the suction device when the changeover member is attached in the hollow portion. So the range of air sucking intake holes is switched by changing the changeover member to another changeover member with another air passage.

  • Publication number: 20060203821
    Abstract: A receiver receives information necessary for receive processing of a data channel via a corresponding control channel and executes the receive processing of the data channel based on the information received via the control channel. In the receiver, whether the control channel of a receive frame F1 has an error is monitored. And if there is an error, the data channel before demodulation of this receive frame is stored, and if the control channel of a retransmission frame F2, which is received subsequently, is normal, the stored data channel and the data channel of the retransmission frame are demodulated using the normal control channel information (parameters) of this retransmission frame, the demodulation results are synthesized, and decoding processing is performed based on the synthesized data.
