  • Patent number: 11912217
    Abstract: A vehicle is positively charged with static electricity due to an external factor. The vehicle includes a battery, a static eliminator sheet, and a holding member. The battery includes at least one cell, an electrolyte, a resin case, and negative and positive terminals. The resin case accommodates the components and electrolyte of each cell. The negative terminal is grounded to the vehicle body. The positive terminal is supplied with electric power from a charger. The static eliminator sheet is made of a material on a positive side of a triboelectric series with respect to a material of the resin case. The holding member holds the static eliminator sheet and the resin case in contact with each other. The holding member holds the battery at a predetermined location of the vehicle body in a state where the resin case and the static eliminator sheet are slidable due to vehicle body vibrations.

  • Patent number: 6684389
    Abstract: A decrypting compiler that accepts encrypted source code from a software manufacturer, decrypts the encrypted source code into plain text that is not accessible outside the compiler, and compiles the decrypted source code into linkable binary objects. Because the decrypting compiler decrypts the encrypted source code such that the plain text is not accessible outside the compiler, trade secret and proprietary information from the source code is not easily learned by third-party software developers.

  • Patent number: 5880702
    Abstract: An image is displayed in an optimum state in accordance with the state of a display. For this purpose, an FLCD interface mounted in an information processing apparatus and an FLCD for actually displaying an image are connected through a data transfer bus for transferring image data to be displayed and a serial communication line for performing communications between them. When the FLCD detects a change in its own state, this information is supplied to a CPU of the FLCD interface through the serial communication line. An instruction for changing, e.g., the operating mode is also transmitted from the FLCD interface to the FLCD through the serial communication line.

  • Patent number: 4086661
    Abstract: A cylindrical magnetic domain element is disclosed which utilizes a cylindrical magnetic domain (a magnetic bubble) produced by the application of a bias magnetic field to a magnetic sheet of orthoferrite, garnet or the like. Propagation patterns for the cylindrical magnetic domain are composed of a plurality of sets formed on one side of the magnetic sheet and have a multilayer construction with a non-magnetic film of SiO.sub.2 or the like between the layers. This multilayer construction allows for the formation of a propagation pattern having a relatively narrow pattern gap. Further, the propagation pattern is disclosed as having uniaxial magnetic anisotropy, which facilitates the magnetic bubble propagation and ensures retaining of the magnetic bubble.
