  • Patent number: 10479396
    Abstract: A second toothed member is configured to change its position between a meshing position where first teeth mesh with second teeth and a meshing releasing position where the first teeth do not mesh with the second teeth. A first toothed member and a facing member move together with an upper jacket. The second toothed member located at the meshing position receives an impact from the first toothed member so as to collide against an impact absorbing member after rupture of a guide shaft and deform the impact absorbing member. The second toothed member located at the meshing releasing position receives an impact from the facing member so as to cause rupture of the guide shaft and deformation of the impact absorbing member to occur concurrently.

  • Publication number: 20190094150
    Abstract: The present invention provides a method for mending projection and recess defects existing on the surface of a metallic plate, wherein steps (1) to (2) are repeated until it is determined in step (1) that mending of the projection and recess defects on the surface of the metallic plate is no longer necessary. Step (1): A step for shining light onto the surface of the metallic plate, detecting the positions of projection and recess defects on the surface of the metallic plate according to the brightness distribution on the metallic plate, the brightness distribution being obtained from reflected light, quantifying the brightness intensities of the projection and recess defects, and determining whether it is necessary to mend the projection and recess defects. Step (2): A step for mending the projection and recess defects for which it is determined in step (1) that mending is necessary.

  • Patent number: 9408248
    Abstract: Provided are a communication control device by which a situation where a mobile station is disabled to receive a terminating call can be prevented from continuing for a long time, even when the IP-CAN bearer is removed for some reason. A P-CSCF 310 executes the steps of: detecting a state of the IP-CAN Bearer; transmitting a 503 Service Unavailable, rejecting a terminating call to an UE 100, to a source making the terminating call when loss of the IP-CAN Bearer which has been established is detected; and canceling the transmission of the rejection response when receiving a signal from the UE 100 in a situation where the loss of the IP-CAN bearer is detected, the signal being related to an originating call to the IP multimedia subsystem and being a signal other than registration to the IP multimedia subsystem.

  • Patent number: 8989363
    Abstract: An incoming call relaying status identifying unit determines whether or not a call receiving request from an incoming call forwarding system is delivered through a preset forward source terminal apparatus based on incoming call relaying status identifying information included in the call receiving request. Next, when a determination based on the incoming call relaying status identifying information brings about a positive result, a display unit displays information for a call-back including forward source terminal information representing the forward source terminal apparatus utilized for relaying the incoming call based on the incoming call relaying status identifying unit. This makes it possible for a user of a forward destination to recognize from which forward source the incoming call is forwarded.

  • Publication number: 20150016380
    Abstract: A mobile station and a communication method are provided, which are capable of preventing a state where no incoming calls can be received from continuing for a long time even if an IP-CAN Bearer, which is a logical communication path used for SIP and audio media, is removed for some reason. UE 100 is connectable to an access network complying with the Internet protocol and executes registration with an IP multimedia subsystem complying with the Internet protocol. The UE 100 includes: a bearer establishment unit 110 configured to establish an IP-CAN Bearer that is a logical communication path between the UE 100 and a PGW constituting the access network; and a registration processing unit 120 configured to execute registration of the mobile station with the IP multimedia subsystem when the bearer establishment unit 110 establishes the IP-CAN Bearer.
