  • Patent number: 8426107
    Abstract: Disclosed is a positive-type photosensitive composition which can form a metal compound film pattern at high resolution and with less affection by organic residues. The positive-type photosensitive composition comprises: a metal complex component (A) which can form a metal compound film when applied and subsequently fired; and a photosensitizing agent (B). In the composition, a ligand in the component (A) is preferably a multidentate ligand having an aromatic compound as its skeleton. According to this construction, even a composition containing substantially no photosensitive resin can impart photosensitivity and a metal compound film pattern can be formed readily.

  • Publication number: 20130034414
    Abstract: Provided is a vehicle that elevates a working beam installed between a pair of booms with a working beam elevating unit and can ensure the area of a load receiving surface where a load is loaded. The working beam elevating unit is received in a working beam and one end of a chain is fixed to a boom. Therefore, the working beam is moved up/down by loosening and retracting the chain. Therefore, as the working beam elevating unit is installed at the working beam, it is not necessary to ensure a space for installing the working beam on a vehicle body. Therefore, it is correspondingly possible to enlarge the space (area of the load receiving surface) on the vehicle for loading a load.

  • Publication number: 20130034415
    Abstract: Provided is a vehicle that controls operation of a loading/unloading apparatus based on a manipulation instruction from a manipulation remote control unit and can ensure safety when loading/unloading a load. An opening window is formed to be open on the rear side of an operator cab and an LCD displaying the operation state of a loading/unloading apparatus is installed, with the display surface facing the opening window, in the operator cab. Therefore, it is possible to check the display of the LCD from the outside of the operator cab through the opening window. Therefore, an operator can perform manipulation while acquiring the information on the operation state of the loading/unloading apparatus from the LCD, such that it is possible to ensure safety when loading/unloading a load by manipulating the manipulation remote control unit.

  • Publication number: 20130034417
    Abstract: There is provided a vehicle which can stably load or unload a long heavy load and lower a height of a working space necessary for loading or unloading the weight body. The loading/unloading apparatus suspends and maintains a load in a working beam installed between a pair of booms and rotates the pair of booms toward the left or right direction of a vehicle body, such that the load is unloaded from the vehicle body in a construction field or loaded from the construction field onto the vehicle body. Thus, the height of the working space necessary when the load is loaded or unloaded can be reduced as compared with a crane structure for loading and unloading the load by the fluctuation of a boom.

  • Publication number: 20130034416
    Abstract: First and second connection terminals that are connection places of manipulation remote control units are installed at the front and rear of a vehicle. Therefore, it is possible to manipulate the manipulation remote control units at positions (ahead of and behind the vehicle) according to the amount of sunlight by changing the connection position. In this case, the rotation direction of the loading/unloading apparatus is reversed in accordance with the connection place of the manipulation remote control unit, such that it is possible to prevent miss-manipulation of the manipulation remote control unit by an operator who manipulates ahead of and behind the vehicle.

  • Publication number: 20130034413
    Abstract: When the load factor of a loading/unloading apparatus reaches a second reference value that is smaller in load factor than the first reference value, the operation speed of the loading/unloading apparatus becomes a reduction state. It is possible to make load vibration difficult to be generated in a load. Further, fine adjustment of the manipulation becomes easy, such that it is possible to prevent the load factor from reaching the first reference value due to careless manipulation of the operator. Even if the load factor reaches the first reference value, the operation speed of the loading/unloading apparatus has been reduced, such that it is possible to prevent load vibration of the load W when stopping.

  • Publication number: 20120326515
    Abstract: An electric power receiving device according to the invention receives an electric power from a primary coil, with which a first alternating voltage is applied and through which a first alternate current flows. The device includes an electric power receiving section and a reducing-voltage generating section. The receiving section includes a secondary coil electromagnetically coupled to the primary coil and a capacitor connected to the secondary coil, and generates a second alternating voltage based upon the first alternating current. The generating section generates a reducing-voltage and applies the reducing-voltage to the receiving section, the reducing-voltage being capable of reducing a reactance voltage generated in the receiving section by a second alternating current generated in the receiving section due to the second alternating voltage, and the reducing-voltage being approximately equal to the second alternating voltage in frequency.
