  • Publication number: 20220118552
    Abstract: Irradiation with a laser beam is performed along a welding bead, while the laser beam is aimed, as an irradiation point of the laser beam, at a contact point between a deck plate and a U-rib that is contained in a non-welded portion of a root part, from a side of the welding bead of the root part. Thereby, it is possible to remove a crack beginning at the non-welded portion of the root part generated at a joining portion between the deck plate and the U-rib of a steel floor slab, by the irradiation with the laser beam.

  • Patent number: 7702722
    Abstract: A user terminal device stores user information in a memory, and stores constant data in another memory. The user terminal device selects one or more other equipment to be combined suitably for use with the service equipment, based on the model information and operational conditions of the service equipment as well as the stored constant data. Then, the user terminal device transmits the user information and the selection information to the host computer, and requests display permission from the host computer for displaying the selection information onto the display section. The selection information is displayed on the display section only when the display permission is obtained from the host computer. Thus, workload on the host computer end may be reduced. In addition, the host computer does not fail to obtain the user information.

  • Publication number: 20040130267
    Abstract: In a plasma display panel of AC type, consisting of a front panel 9 provided with display electrodes 7 and a rear panel 4 provided with address electrodes 3, that displays an image by causing discharge in the discharge gas space formed between the front panel 9 and rear panel 4, a protective film 5 made of metallic oxide covering a dielectric layer 6 placed on the front panel 9 is formed as follows. The protective film 5 is formed into a structure where columnar structures are densely packed, closely with each other, extending perpendicularly to the interface between the dielectric layer 6 and the protective film 5, and more than 400 columnar structures are formed per the substrate area of 1 &mgr;m2.

  • Publication number: 20040014341
    Abstract: The width of a signal line 3 is made narrower at a part connected with a connector pin 1 than a signal line width that can match the connector characteristic impedance. Furthermore, the width of the signal line 3 is made narrower at the part connected with the connector pin 1 than the projection width of the connector pin diameter. The disclosed connection structure of a planer waveguide signal line can, when a high frequency signal is transmitted from a rod-shaped coaxial structure to the signal line, prevent the transmissivity deterioration caused by radiation of the signal or reflection of the signal back to the outgoing side at the part of the signal line connected with a connector pin. The connection structure can also minimize transmission loss due to assembling error made during assembling into a semiconductor package.
