  • Patent number: 6788297
    Abstract: Since the surface of the touch panel is often slippery, pressure points of the writing stylus on a touch panel may easily skip along the input contiguous line. The present invention calculates the velocity of writing stylus movement at each segment of the input contiguous line from a touch location and detection time of each touch which may be detected at intervals, produces a line drawing which connects each pair of touch locations of touches that are temporally adjacent in the detection order with a line of a type determined based on the calculated velocity, and displays the line drawing on the LCD.

  • Publication number: 20030205612
    Abstract: Conventionally, distribution containers, particularly, corrugated cardboard containers and EPS containers, have been used as containers for conveying perishable foods. These containers are disposed as waste after the containers have been used repeatedly by a few times. The amount of these containers disposed as waste is huge, and it has been necessary to reduce the waste, from the viewpoint of resource protection and environmental protection. Particularly, in the EPS containers, bacteria are easily propagated on the inner walls. Further, in the case of the corrugated cardboard containers, they have not been satisfactory from the viewpoint of heat insulation and cooling of the contents. The present invention provides a foldable distribution container for conveying perishable foods of which a foldable container main body and a lid unit covered on the upper opening of the container main body are manufactured as three-wall structures made of a transparent synthetic resin material and having two air layers.

  • Patent number: 5900854
    Abstract: An image on a liquid crystal is displayed with a constant picture quality, independent of the capacity characteristic variations of the display and the conditions of signals for displaying an image. A gate-timing control circuit 50 of a drive circuit receives input signals J1, J2, and J3 from a system 44. The signals J1 and J2 are prestored in the timing-gate control circuit 50 and contain information for selecting any of a plurality of data, each representing different timing at which a gate line 28 of an LCD 10 is turned on and off. The timing control circuit 50 selects any of the plurality of data according to the signals J1 and J2, generates a gate line control signal YOE based upon the selected data, and outputs it to a gate line driver 30. The gate line driver 30 drives the gate line 28 at timing corresponding to the gate line control signal YOE.
