  • Patent number: 9462716
    Abstract: A shock buffering structure which has a side buffer member arranged between a wristwatch case and a watch module within the wristwatch case, wherein the side buffer member is layered and formed by a plurality of buffer layers having respectively different vibration transmissibility for predetermined frequencies. Accordingly, when the wristwatch case receives vibration from external shock, the plurality of buffer layers of the side buffer member attenuate and absorb low-frequency vibration and high-frequency vibration, respectively.

  • Patent number: 9280143
    Abstract: A sensitivity adjustment device adjusts radio wave sensitivity of an antenna which wirelessly transmits/receives a signal to/from an external device. The sensitivity adjustment device includes: a sensitivity adjuster and an adjuster moving section. The sensitivity adjuster includes (a) a shielding part which shields a radio wave and (b) a penetration part which allows penetration of a radio wave. The adjuster moving section moves the sensitivity adjuster with respect to the antenna in such a way as (a) to change a position of the shielding part and a position of the penetration part with respect to the antenna, and (b) to adjust a covered area of the antenna covered with the sensitivity adjuster, so as to adjust the radio wave sensitivity of the antenna.
