Abstract: An RFID tag includes an RFID unit and an antenna unit. The RFID unit is formed in a form of a minute dipole antenna having a predetermined length and includes an IC chip. The antenna unit includes an antenna pattern and an RFID mounting portion. Lengths of the RFID unit and the antenna unit are substantially identical. The RFID unit and the antenna can be manufactured independently.

Abstract: A tag testing device uses an infrared camera to take an image of a plurality of radio frequency identification tags, compares the image with a stored standard tag pattern image storage, and detects defective tags based on the comparison. A radio wave transceiver bulk reads the tags using anti-collision, a tag response counter counts a number of tag responses, and a defective tag detector compares a number of heat emitting tags based upon the image processing with a number of tag responses counted by the tag response counter. If the number of heat emitting tags does not match a number of responsive tags, a number of the tags tested are changed by partially shielding the tags and the radio wave transceiver repeatedly bulk reads the tags using the anti-collision function while a shielding range is gradually changed, thereby narrowing down other possible defective but heat emitting tags.

Abstract: A wrist mountable electronic apparatus has a strap member having a pair of strap portions. Each of the strap portions has an end disposed in spaced-apart relation to the other so that inner peripheral surfaces of the ends of the strap portions form a hole having a first open end and a second open end opposite the first open end. Each of the inner peripheral surfaces of the strap portions has a stepped portion. A portable electronic apparatus is disposed in the hole of the strap member. A glass member is supported on the stepped portion of each of the strap portions for closing the first open end of the hole. A connecting structure free of adhesive connects the glass member to each of the strap portions. A waterproof member is disposed directly between only the glass member and the strap member for providing a watertight seal therebetween. A rear cover covers the second open end of the hole.

Abstract: Laser beam irradiation areas are provided in a load curve portion and an angle adjustment portion of a suspension. The laser beam irradiation areas are oriented in a direction in which the suspension is to be bent. A laser beam having a predetermined length and a predetermined shape is irradiated onto each laser beam irradiation area.

Abstract: To provide a portable electronic apparatus formed so that the dimensions of a case can be held down to minimum levels as compared with those of an electronic apparatus body. A portable electronic apparatus, such as a wristwatch has a case made of a one-end-opened bottomed cylindrical body, a pin type engaging portion fixed to a bottom wall, projecting from this bottom wall into the interior of the case and toward an opening of the case and provided with an engaging projection on a projecting end section of the pin type engaging portion, and a block type apparatus body provided in a bottom wall thereof with a hole to be engaged into which the pin type engaging portion is inserted, and provided in a circumferential wall of the hole with a portion to be engaged to be engaged with which the projection of the pin type engaging portion is engaged when the apparatus body is placed in a predetermined position in the case. The pin is made of, for example, a split pin provided with an expanding slot.

Abstract: The present invention is intended to provide a store-shelf allocation management system which is capable of performing a creation of a shelf allocation diagram by wirelessly reading merchandise item information written into supertags attached to merchandise items on respective shelves. The store-shelf allocation management system comprises: an information processing apparatus 10 adapted to create and store a shelf allocation information about store shelves; a display device 30 with a touch-sensitive panel function adapted to display thereon a shelf allocation diagram based on the shelf allocation information; and a tag reader 40 adapted to wirelessly read a data from a supertag attached to a merchandise item every the store shelf.

Abstract: Information about a product is recorded in a tag, and the tag is attached to the corresponding product. When performing inventory tracking of a shelf on which many such products are displayed, the information in the tag is read and the quantity of products is decided from the read information.

Abstract: To provide a glass member fixing structure preventing detachment of a glass member caused by stress concentration by opening and closing a strap and guaranteeing a waterproof property of a case in a wrist mounting type portable apparatus having a case integrated type bangle type strap. A glass member is fitted to an upper side opening after containing a portable apparatus to a predetermined location of a case hole and containing a rubber packing to a packing groove. Then, a lower face of the glass member is seated on a stepped portion of the case hole, fitting projections at a peripheral edge thereof are fitted to respectively bite fitting grooves of the case hole and thereby, the glass member is fixed to a case integrated type bangle type strap. Further, waterproof property of the upper side opening of the case hole is guaranteed by the rubber packing.

Abstract: A passenger management system having a boarding processing system with a plurality of tag readers and speakers connected to an automatic broadcasting unit each located in a plurality of areas into which a premises of an airport is divided. If there is found a remarked boarding card with which the check-in has been completed at a checking counter but boarding has not been confirmed, the tag readers are successively actuated from a gate counter and an area among said plurality of areas in which said remarked boarding card is present is determined based on the signal received by said tag readers. In such a way, remarked boarding cards, namely not-boarded passengers are managed for each area.
