Abstract: In a searching step, a laser beam by a laser beam projector is projected toward an object to be detected, which is previously disposed at a delivery position, while moving a holding member which is positioned apart from the object to be detected. In a delivery position data acquiring step, delivery position data is acquired by obtaining member position data provided by a member position data detecting unit when a laser beam reflected by the object to be detected is received by a laser beam receiver and calculating the delivery position data based on the member position data obtained by the member position data detecting unit.

Abstract: To reduce the force required to assemble connectors, a junction box assembly includes a junction box housing holding one or more first connectors, a connector assembly holding one or more second connectors that mate with the one or more first connectors, and first and second cam levers rotatably mounted to the connector assembly. The first and second cam levers rotate in opposite directions about a common axis and engage the junction box housing, and may engage a common point, such as a pin, on the junction box housing. A detent system may be provided to hold the first and second cam levers in a pre-staged position in which open ends of the cam grooves of the first and second cam levers are aligned, and/or in a fully assembled position.

Abstract: A separable laminated container (A) of the present invention comprises an outer layer (1) made of synthetic resin and having an air suction hole (10) and an inner layer (2) made of synthetic resin and separably laminated on the inside of the outer layer, the inner layer having a portion previously separated from the outer layer just around the air suction hole. The air suction hole can be formed by driving a punch into the outer layer at a neck (4) of the separable laminated container from the outside, and punching just the outer layer leaving the inner layer behind. The portion of the inner layer previously separated from the outer layer may be left in the inwardly extended state. The inner layer is preferably made of synthetic resin having flextural modules of less than 10,000 kg/cm2.

Abstract: Methods and systems for document image decoding incorporating a Stack algorithm improve document image decoding. The application of the Stack algorithm is iterated to improve decoding. A provisional weight is determined for a partial path to reduce template matching. In addition, semantically equivalent hypotheses are identified to reduce redundant hypotheses.

Abstract: A key switch includes a front cover formed with a cursor key hole. In the front cover, a first rib is formed on a first support wall and a second rib is formed on a second support wall. Accordingly, when a cursor key part disposed in the cursor key hole is pressed, it can be restrained against motion in a shorter side direction. The operationality of a cursor key can be improved, which allows a correct operation.

Abstract: System and methods provide a message, generated based on a message authentication code (MAC), embedded in a look-up table associated with an image. The embedding of the message does not affect the image. The message may be used to authenticate the image.

Abstract: An etchant and an etching method that contribute to prevention of metal contamination of a semiconductor silicon wafer, and a semiconductor silicon wafer in which metal contamination is extremely reduced, are provided. The etchant according to the present invention is prepared by immersing stainless steel in an alkali aqueous solution for not less than 10 hours. In the etching method according to the present invention, a semiconductor silicon wafer is etched by using the etchant. Thereby, the semiconductor silicon wafer according to the present invention, in which metal contamination is extremely reduced, is obtained.

Abstract: A graphical user interface widget includes a vertically-oriented slider portion. The slider portion includes a slider pointer that indicates a current value of the slider and a slider bar that indicates the default value of the slider. The bottom and top edges of the slider portion are labeled with the extreme values of the range for the variable associated with the slider portion. The slider pointer divides the slider portion into two subportions. An appearance of a bottom subportion of the slider portion is altered to reflect the value currently indicated by the slider pointer relative to the extreme values of the range represented by the slider. A numerical portion can be provided along with the slider portion. The numeral portion includes a value display portion and a pair of buttons that are used to increase or decrease the numerical value in the value display portion.

A magnetic head assembly comprises a head slider, a head slider suspension for supporting the head slider, a wiring unit attached to the head slider suspension, and a coil. The head slider suspension includes a slider support section for functioning as a gimbal, a suspension section for supporting the slider support section, an arm section for supporting the suspension section, and a coil support section for supporting the coil.

Abstract: The present invention provides a blocked call routing apparatus and method that allows a caller to access a blocked number, such as a 1-8YY paging service, from a restricted device. The blocked call routing apparatus includes a controller, a database interface and a network interface. The blocked call routing apparatus receives call signals through the network interface and retrieves information from a database, through the database interface, corresponding to the source type and call destination address. Based on the information obtained from the database, the blocked call routing apparatus determines whether the call is blocked or unblocked. If the call is blocked, the blocked call routing apparatus queries the called party to determine if they wish to accept the additional charges necessary to complete the call. If they do, the block is overridden and the call is completed.

Abstract: An intermediate transfer body to be used in an image forming apparatus for transferring and fixing a toner image from a photosensitive body onto a recording medium using an intermediate transfer body having the surface of a material such as silicone rubber which image forming apparatus reduces the friction coefficient between the photosensitive body and the intermediate transfer body to allow easy driving running control of the intermediate transfer body, and reduces the fog toner transfer rate to prevent deterioration of the image quality when the medium (40 to 70%) gloss is employed, and an image forming apparatus using the intermediate transfer body are provided. The intermediate transfer body, which receives a toner image held on a toner image carrier and transfers again the toner image onto a recording medium to form an image on the recording medium, has the surface for receiving the transfer of a toner image on which the peak area and roughed recess area are formed mixedly.
