Abstract: Since there is a possibility that an application downloaded to a terminal performs an invalid operation, an operation of the downloaded application is very much restricted, and the application can not use local resources of the terminal. With the use of information for authenticating the application, which is held in a tamper resistant region of an authentication module, authentication for the application downloaded to a download section of the terminal is performed to confirm its source or whether or not it has been tampered with. Only an authenticated application is permitted to use the local resources of the terminal or the authentication module, so that an invalid application is prevented from using the local resources. Furthermore, there is no need to make the terminal have the tamper resistant region, manufacturing costs of the terminal can be held at a low level.

Abstract: A vehicle-mounted device is configured to execute a predetermined function as a foreground process and a TV function as a background process. The vehicle-mounted device is provided with a displaying device. An image corresponding to the predetermined function is displayed on the displaying device when the predetermined function is executed. The device further includes a TV program switching system, a small image generating system that generates a small image when the program switching system is operated to switch the TV programs. The small image is superimposed on the image corresponding to the predetermined function. The device further includes a display control system that displays the small image on the displaying devices such that the small image is superimposed on the image corresponding to the predetermined function, the display control system extinguishing the small image at a predetermined timing.

Abstract: A case 12 of a transformer 10 formed in such a manner that a transformer body 13 is accommodated in the case 12 having a rectangular-parallelepiped shape and a resin 14 is filled therein and solidified is configured such that the case 12 has one open face, and side faces 22a, 22b, 22c and 22d located at borders of the opening is partially removed, and tape is attached to cover the removed portions 23a, 23b, 23c and 23d. With this configuration, since the tape which is sufficiently thinner than the case forms side faces at the removed portions, gap between the transformer body and the case hard to be reduced. Accordingly, the resin is allowed to easily enter therein and air bubbles can be completely removed.

Abstract: There has been conventionally a problem that when the searcher uses, for example, “dry wine” selected according to the searcher's preference as a search key, the searcher cannot be satisfied with the search result because wine entries stored in a database as “dry wines” depend on objective evaluation by another person. A sense database is created by using, as a subjective search index, sense parameter information such as potential variation caused by pungency obtained by a pseudo sensor irrespective of one's ability. Specifically the database comprises a sense information obtaining section for obtaining sense information by associating the sense parameter information acquired by the sensor with representative information, a sense information storage section, a search key obtaining section, and a searching section for searching the sense information storage section using a search key.

Abstract: There is provided a tape printing apparatus capable of improving durability performance of a cutting mechanism constituted of a fixed blade and a movable blade tremendously. The bottom edge portion of an opening portion in a rear frame is formed to be located below the bottommost end portion of the V-shaped tip of this movable blade by a predetermined height (for example, about 3 mm to 5 mm) when the movable blade is located at the lowest point, that is, a home position. That is, even when the movable blade is located at the lowest point, there is formed a gap of a predetermined distance (for example, a distance of about 3 mm to 5 mm) in the vertical direction between the bottommost end portion of the V-shaped tip of the movable blade and the bottom end edge portion of the opening portion.

Abstract: There is provided a heatsink for radiating heat from a heat-producing device. The heatsink includes a heatsink body; a clip that has a pair of arms and is fitted to the heatsink body along a heat radiation surface of the heat-producing device such that the heat-radiation surface of the heat-producing device and the heatsink body closely contact with each other while being sandwiched between the pair of arms; and a guide plate integrally formed with the heatsink body. The guide plate is configured such that an interval between the guide plate and the heatsink body is smaller than an arm interval between the pair of arms of the clip on a front side in a fitting direction of the clip and is larger than the arm interval on a deep side in the fitting direction of the clip.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a device comprising a fiber-reinforced part and including at least one system comprising at least one optical fiber as well as connecting means adapted for connection of light emitting means and light receiving means to the optical fiber, said optical fiber comprising a number of reflecting structures. One object of the invention is to provide means suitable for use in providing compensation for temperature change in strain measurement, which may be built into fiber-reinforced parts of a device. This is obtained by having holding means adapted to hold one or more loops formed on the optical fibre, in a way where at least one loop may substantially freely change length when subject to a change in temperature.

Abstract: It is intended to provide a picture editor which displays the color pictorial data matching designated pictorial information, according to pictorial information code of the analyzed color pictorial data of a plurality of color pictures added to the color pictorial data, picks out and displays the color pictorial data matching designated pictorial information. For this purpose, the information code of each pictorial information on brightness, saturation, and hue of the color pictorial data, which is analyzed, digitized, and averaged in a pictorial data analyzing unit, is added to the color pictorial data in a retrieval information adding unit. According to the color pictorial data to which the information code is added, a retrieving unit picks out the color pictorial data matching designated pictorial information. A video monitor displays the retrieved color pictorial data.

Abstract: Cloth feed control unit of a cleaning device for printing machine cylinders. Provided is a position sensor (30), which generates signals linearly in proportion to the radial variations in the distance of the peripheral surface of a cleaning roller (8, 10) from the position sensor (30). The signals can be used to calculate the length of a cleaning cloth that is on a cloth roller and/or to control the cloth feed. The cloth feed control is carried out preferably in combination with signals of an encoder (44), which detects the rotation-increments of a cloth roller.
