  • Publication number: 20180229482
    Abstract: A composite body in which a resin and a metal are contact-bonded with excellent adhesive force. Also, a composite body which is suppressed in decrease of bonding strength between a resin and a metal due to water absorption of the resin even if the composite body is left in rain or water, or is left in a high humidity environment or the like for a long period of time. The composite body is obtained by contact-bonding a thermoplastic resin (A) and a metal (B), and is characterized in that the thermoplastic resin (A) is a polyamide elastomer (1A) or a thermoplastic resin composition (2A) that contains a water absorbent thermoplastic resin (2a) and a metal hydroxide (2b).

  • Patent number: 9113081
    Abstract: Included is a flat box shaped housing 1 having, on a main surface 1a thereof, a rectangular image display surface 2. Two images whose vertical directions are different from each other by 90 degrees are displayed on the image display surface 2. An imaging sensor 5 is disposed at a portion surrounding the image display surface 2, at a part away from center lines of the image display surface 2 in the height direction and the width direction. An optical axis of the imaging sensor 5 is tilted toward a reference point located on a perpendicular line that perpendicularly intersects the image display surface 2 at the center of the image display surface 2. With the above described configuration, an image captured from a fine angle is obtained.

  • Publication number: 20140030919
    Abstract: A rib 7b is provided in the vicinity of a power terminal portion 7 of a first enclosure 1 and a waterproofing member 11 is fitted to the rib 7b and an AC adaptor 10 to render the power terminal portion 7 waterproof. Since there is no need to change the outside shape of the AC adaptor 10, a waterproof structure can be achieved without incurring a significant cost increase. Furthermore, because a conventional AC adaptor can be used, the waterproofing member excels in general versatility.

  • Patent number: 8512048
    Abstract: A portable computer 1 has a first metallic portion 6 and a second metallic portion 7, and an expansion device 10 has a first magnet 16 and a second magnet 17, whereby the expansion device 10 can be attached to a predetermined position of the portable computer 1 using attractive forces generated by the magnets. Therefore, when the portable computer 1 to which the expansion device 10 is attached is dropped mistakenly on a floor, etc., and the impact is applied on the expansion device 10, the expansion device 10 is separated from the portable computer 1 easily. Thus, even if the expansion device 10 is damaged, the impact to be transmitted to the portable computer 1 can be reduced by separating the expansion device 10 from the portable computer 1, which reduces damage to the portable computer 1.

  • Patent number: 8384725
    Abstract: A method is provided for controlling an image processor to perform display of an image on a first display device in synchronization with short frames and to perform display of an image on a second display device in synchronization with long frames each of which has a time length longer than a time length of each short frame. According to the method, a synchronization signal acquisition process acquires a first synchronization signal synchronized with switching of the short frames. An estimation process estimates, each time the first synchronization signal is acquired, a generation position of a second synchronization signal synchronized with switching of the long frames within a 2-frame period corresponding to two short frames after the first synchronization signal is acquired.

  • Publication number: 20090189524
    Abstract: by using mask patterns of the same shape for electrode formation, an electrode and a dielectric layer are patterned into the same shape so that it is possible to eliminate a positional shift between the electrode and the dielectric layer, and consequently to make discharge voltage between cells uniform. A plasma display panel includes a first substrate on which the electrode and the dielectric layer covering the electrode are formed and a second substrate bonded to the first substrate. The electrode and the dielectric layer are patterned into the same shape when viewed in a plan view by patterning an electrode film formed on the first substrate and a dielectric material layer formed on the electrode film by using mask patterns of the same shape for electrode formation. The patterning surface of the electrode is covered with an insulating film.
