  • Patent number: 8368527
    Abstract: An electronic device is provided which executes a function useful in that place without a user in possession of the electronic device being intentional, and which does not receive a signal without providing a special setting if the function is not useful even if the place and the device are the same. There are an electronic device A and an electronic device each having a human body communication function. In a case where a user is holding the electronic device A, the electronic device B outputs a control signal for causing the electronic device A to execute a function aimed to eliminate a danger or an annoyance to the surroundings occurring because of holding it, whereas, due to the fact that the user has the electronic device, the electronic device A receives the control signal irrespective of the user's intention and executes a function based on the control signal.

  • Patent number: 7976782
    Abstract: A folding type portable telephone in which a first housing and a second housing are fixed by a hinge includes a face panel fixed to the first housing and aromatic substances are accommodated inside the face panel. When the hinge is rotated, the aromatic substances are released in conjunction with the operation of opening the folding type portable telephone from the closed state. Furthermore, a sounding body is operated at a frequency of strongly generating an air vibration at a time defined in advance by timer control, so that fragrance of the aromatic substances is released outward by the air vibration of the sounding body. The fragrance corresponding to TPO can be generated from the face panel of the portable telephone.

  • Patent number: 7845954
    Abstract: A first circuit board (1) mounted with an electronic component (16) and a second circuit board (2) are vertically connected three-dimensionally through an interconnecting board (3) wherein the terminal portion (6) of the land electrode (5) on the interconnecting board (3) is buried in the termination material (9) of the interconnecting board (3). Consequently, the chance of peeling or cracking due to peeling stress or shearing stress acting between the upper/lower circuit boards and the land electrode by high density mounting, thermal shock or falling impact can be suppressed or buffered resulting in high reliability.

  • Publication number: 20080200759
    Abstract: In a case where a balloon is broken and a body fluid reversely flows into a feed/discharge tube during a suction operation of a balloon control apparatus, a pump is stopped by operation-canceling section after passing of a preset predetermined time, and the suction operation of sucking the fluid into a bottle is canceled. Thereby, the amount of recovered liquid in the bottle is limited within a predetermined capacity. Thus, even in the case where the body fluid reversely flows into the feed/discharge tube, the body fluid does not overflow from the bottle, and the body liquid can properly recovered in the bottle.
