  • Publication number: 20240136112
    Abstract: A coil component includes an element body, a coil, a first terminal electrode, and a second terminal electrode. The coil has a coil axis extending in a direction in which a pair of side surfaces face each other. The first terminal electrode and the second terminal electrode have first electrode portions exposed on end surfaces and second electrode portions exposed on a main surface, respectively, and are not exposed on each of the pair of side surfaces. In a direction in which a pair of main surfaces face each other, a distance between each of ends of the first electrode portions on the main surface side and the main surface is larger than a distance between a top portion of the coil closest to the main surface and the main surface.

  • Patent number: 10054318
    Abstract: The heat medium transport paths are arranged between the first building and the second building and transport heat media that transport heat energy. A temperature distribution acquisition means acquires the temperature distribution of the heat media that have temperatures being different from each other in the heat medium transport paths and that are sequentially transported in a state of having a predetermined length in the transport direction in the heat medium transport paths. A control means receives a load request of an air conditioner of the first building, and when a heat medium having the heat energy that satisfies the load request received reaches the first building, based on the temperature distribution acquired by the temperature distribution acquisition means, the control means causes the air conditioner of the first building to take out the heat energy from the heat medium reached.

  • Publication number: 20070005809
    Abstract: The multiple-network typed electronic conferencing system 104 comprises, as shown in FIG. 15, two network information processing systems #n (n=1, 2) each for processing arbitrary information and a wire or wireless communication 40 for connecting these system to each other, each network information processing systems having input operation function. It comprises, for example, five notebook personal computers PCi (i=1-5), and projectors Pj (j=1-5) for processing at least information transferred from any one of these notebook personal computers PCi and providing electric information contents including display information, thereby permitting the projector Pj to perform simultaneous display control based on the input operations of the notebook personal computers Pci. This allows multiple projectors Pj to display the same electric information contents at the same time.

  • Publication number: 20060272130
    Abstract: In a conventional operating handle for an operating machine, the two ends of a vibration-proof rubber are sandwiched between a handle rod and a grip bar, thereby connecting the handle rod and grip bar. The vibration of the handle rod is absorbed by the torsion of the vibration-proof rubber. As a result, the vibration of the handle rod can only be reduced rather than eliminated. In the present invention, a grip bar is attached rotatably to the upper end of a handle rod so as to be capable of a rocking motion, and the swing shock generated when the grip bar oscillates is absorbed by a stopper rubber provided on the handle rod. Thus the vibration of the grip bar can be absorbed efficiently by the rockable rotatably attached portion and the stopper rubber.

  • Patent number: 4617080
    Abstract: A film laminating apparatus, in which a continuous web of film has a plurality of heat-activation type film layers arranged thereon with predetermined spacing and is delivered together with a paper to a thermal transfer station to transfer the film layer onto the paper, includes an optical position indicator that is located ahead of each film layer on the web and that has optical transmission properties different from those of the web. An optical position detecting device is located at the entrance side of the transfer station, and drive rollers, pressure rollers, and a flat plate heater are operated in response to the output of the optical position detecting device to superpose the film layer onto the paper sheet so that the film covers less than the entire surface of the sheet.

  • Patent number: 4540323
    Abstract: A cylindrical metal container with a relatively large holding capacity has triple seams having a vertically long, generally elongate rectangular cross section, the top and bottom parts of the seam having a convex substantially semi-elliptical or semi-circular profile. The outer face of the seam bulges outward adjacent its top, or its top and bottom, and the middle part between the top and bottom constitutes a pressed groove between the top and bottom and substantially parallel to the axis of the container. The body and end plate flanges are held in strong and direct contact with each other, overlapping each other in the center of the seam. A sealing compound is sealed in a void left between the edge of one flange and the curved portion of the other flange.
