  • Patent number: 7849191
    Abstract: A download system capable of appropriately spreading loads on a server and on a transmission path, and further enhancing convenience in download of data. A reservation candidate acquirer of a communication terminal acquires from a software managing server reservation candidate information containing time information about time zones as candidates to which a reservation for download of an update file can be allocated. At the communication terminal a user selects a reserved time zone from the time zones corresponding to the time information included in the reservation candidate information, and the software managing server registers the reservation in the reserved time zone. Thereby, the reserved time zone can be selected from the candidate time zones transmitted by the software managing server and the candidate time zones are determined based on a reservation table set so as to spread loads on the software managing server and on the transmission path.

  • Patent number: 5860656
    Abstract: When a rotating shaft is at a standstill, a first sealing lip of a first sealing element comes elastically into contact with the shaft, thereby preventing a fluid leakage. Annular grooves are formed on the inner peripheral surface of a second sealing lip of a second sealing element so that a wide contact surface pressure can be obtained between each two adjacent grooves. Accordingly, a fluid leaked from the first sealing element is prevented from leaking to the low-pressure side by means of the second sealing lip. When the rotating shaft is rotating, moreover, the fluid from a fluid chamber is allowed to permeate the gap between the outer peripheral surface of the shaft and the inner peripheral surface of the first sealing lip. Thus, the inner peripheral surface of the first sealing lip is lubricated by means of the fluid, so that the first sealing lip can be prevented from wearing or heating.
