  • Patent number: 9166384
    Abstract: A housing of a switchgear includes: a framework formed by joining vertical frames to depth directional frames and width directional frames, the vertical frames being arranged in a standing condition at four corners of a cuboid shape; at least a left and right pair of intermediate vertical frames each provided at an intermediate portion in the depth direction; and steel partition plates fixed over the whole in the vertical direction of the intermediate vertical frames, the partition plates being provided for separating the front and the back of the intermediate vertical frames. Then, the depth directional frame on the floor side is formed with a fixing hole near a lower portion of the intermediate vertical frame, the fixing hole being provided for fixing the housing to a foundation surface.

  • Publication number: 20100327452
    Abstract: To provide a mounting structure having a substrate and a semiconductor package mounted thereon which enables suppression of unnecessary electromagnetic radiation and improvement of drop impact resistance, and a method of manufacturing the same. A substrate 1 includes, formed on the surface thereof, multiple electrode pads 12 for mounting a semiconductor package thereon and multiple electrode pads 13 electrically connected to a power/ground layer 17. A conductive wire 31 mechanically and electrically connected to the electrode pad 13 with at least two points is placed above the surface of the substrate 1 to improve the stiffness of the surface of the substrate 1. A semiconductor package 4 is mechanically and electrically connected to the surface of the substrate 1 by the electrode pad 12. The suppression of unnecessary electromagnetic radiation generated from a transmission signal and improvement of drop impact resistance are achieved by the conductive wire 31.

  • Patent number: 7413514
    Abstract: The invention provides an image processing unit for a shooting game in which suitable images can be displayed according to a given situation, and in which more exciting and easy-to-manipulate images are displayed. Coordinate values for objects in three-dimensional virtual space are established on the basis of prerecorded object shape data, view point positions are established on the basis of distances x1 and x2 from predetermined objects defined in three-dimensional virtual space (for example, the positions are lower when the distance is shorter, and higher when the distance is longer), the coordinate values established as described above are received, and the coordinate values are converted to a visual field coordinate system as seen from the view points established in the manner described above.

  • Patent number: 7057613
    Abstract: An image processing unit includes a shape memory in which object shape data are prerecorded, a processing component which establishes coordinate values for objects in a three-dimensional virtual space based on the shape data in the shape memory, a conversion component which receives the coordinate values from the processing component and converts the coordinate values to a visual field coordinate system based on a prescribed view point, a view point establishment component which establishes a position of the view point based on the situation between an object in the three-dimensional virtual space serving as a predetermined reference and being virtually defined in the three-dimensional virtual space without any input by a user, and which sends the position to the conversion component, and an imaging component which adds a predetermined texture to a shape data of the visual field coordinate system converted by the conversion component.

  • Patent number: 6081324
    Abstract: For use in the production line for manufacturing a liquid product such as a beverage or a liquid drug, a system is provided for detecting foreign matter contained in the fluid which is being conveyed at high speed in a conduit and automatically removing the same. The system comprises an inspection station which is connected to the conduit and of which the inspection window for detecting foreign matter is made of at least a transparent material, an illuminating means for illuminating the subject to be inspected with light directed through the inspection station, an imaging means for picturing the subject to be inspected by directing an intensity of light to the inspection window and receiving transmission or reflection of the light, a detecting means for comparing the signal level where a part indicative in which the level of the video signal is sharply changing is emphasized and processed with a reference level for the subject to be inspected to detect the foreign matter contained in the fluid.
