  • Publication number: 20240068525
    Abstract: A torque limiter includes a first side plate, a second side plate, a friction disc, a pressure plate, and a biasing member. The first side plate includes an attachment surface. The attachment surface faces in an axial direction so as to be attached to a flywheel. The second side plate has a smaller outer diameter than the outer diameter of the first side plate. The second side plate is disposed so as to not overlap the attachment surface as seen in an axial direction. The second side plate is attached to the first side plate.

  • Publication number: 20160240092
    Abstract: A system is provided for displaying data. The system comprises a managing device. The managing device is configured to receive user input specifying lesson data. The managing device is further configured to transmit a display command to display teaching data corresponding to the lesson data, the display command including the lesson data. The system further comprises a plurality of study devices. The study devices comprise a receiving component configured to receive, from the managing device, the display command. The study devices further comprise a teaching component configured to display, in response to the display command, the teaching data on a teaching screen. The study devices still further comprise a notebook component. The notebook component is configured to receive notebook data. The notebook component is further configured to display, on a notebook screen, the notebook data.

  • Patent number: 7324828
    Abstract: Disclosed is a method and an apparatus for controlling transmission electric power capable of minimizing a decrease in the amount of maximum transmission electric power without degrading an adjacent channel leakage power ratio when code-multiplexing additional control information with data and main control information. A mobile device checks values of gain factors ?d and ?c when performing code multiplexing to transmit signals from channels DPDCH to transmit data, DPCCH to transmit main control information, and HS-DPCCH to transmit additional control information. A maximum transmission electric power is decreased at a plurality of levels based on the check result and a ratio (?hs) between the gain factors ?c and ?hs. It may be preferable to check the presence or absence of transmission data instead of the gain factor ?d. In this case, when no transmission data is available, the maximum transmission electric power is decreased at a plurality of levels based on ?hs.

  • Publication number: 20030143993
    Abstract: In a timer recording system, contents for a timer recording processing for requested TV program is transmitted to a timer recording management server by a mobile phone, then the timer recording management server commands to a video tape recorder to execute the timer recording operation. The video tape recorder executes such timer recording processing, and when the timer recording processing ends, the video tape recorder reports the processing result to the mobile phone, thereby the user is able to confirm the setting of the timer recording to the video tape recorder that is not directly operated by the user. The present invention may be used for an electronic apparatus such as a tape recorder, a VTR, or an air conditioner. When the user is not able to directly operate the electronic apparatus at home while the user is go out from home, the user is able to control and to confirm the operation of the electronic apparatus.
