  • Patent number: 7718121
    Abstract: A method and a reaction apparatus which can safely and continuously treat/discharge especially a short object is treated without any direct contact with a gas atmosphere, and which surely/efficiently treats the object with a gas without any uneven treatment. A short object A to be treated is put in a hermetically sealed cylindrical treatment section 1. In the treatment section 1, the object is held in a predetermined position by a first operation piece 11 to be treated with a gas for a predetermined time. Then, the holding by the first operation piece is released to move the object A by a desired distance. Subsequently, the object is held in a predetermined position by a second operation piece 12 to be treated again with the gas for a predetermined time, and then a treated object A1 is discharged. This discharged treated object A1 is conveyed to the outside of the apparatus.

  • Patent number: 7142090
    Abstract: A vehicular remote control system includes, on a portable device side, a portable device side first receiver, a portable device side transmitter, and a portable device side second receiver and, on a vehicle side, a vehicle side first transmitter, a vehicle side second transmitter, and a vehicle side receiver. Transmitting and receiving a request signal requesting an identification signal, the identification signal, an interrogation signal, and a response signal between the portable device and the vehicle allows a door lock actuator to be operated if the portable device is legitimate. When the vehicle side second transmitter or the portable device side second receiver breaks down, transmission and reception of a second request signal and the interrogation signal is carried out using the vehicle side first transmitter and the portable device side first receiver, thereby making the door lock actuator operate unhindered without the need for providing special alternative means.

  • Patent number: 7038635
    Abstract: An antenna system includes a substrate, a ground on the substrate, a first radiator having a helical shape near a side of the substrate and having a central axis substantially in parallel to a side of the ground, and a high frequency circuit electrically connected to a part of the first radiator. In the antenna system, ground-induced degradation of antenna gain can be reduced, and matching can be performed at an operating frequency through adjustment of a winding of the first radiator. Consequently, the radiation gain of the antenna system can be improved without an antenna matching circuit.

  • Publication number: 20060049584
    Abstract: A large thickness portion molding space which forms a large thickness portion and a small thickness portion molding space which forms a small thickness portion form a secondary molding space connecting in the circumferential direction between an outer periphery of a core positioned in a large diameter side end portion of a resin bellows and an inner surface of the large diameter side end portion. A molten material for secondary molding is injected into the each small thickness portion molding space, and the molten material is charged in the secondary molding space. The molten material charged in the secondary molding space is cured, whereby the large thickness portion and the small thickness portion are welded and integrated in the inner surface of the large diameter side end portion.

  • Patent number: 6980082
    Abstract: In a vehicular remote locking/unlocking system, when a locking or unlocking switch outputs a trigger signal, a second transmission device transmits identification information transmission disable signal, before a first transmission device transmits identification information request signal. When a portable device of the vehicular remote system receives the transmission disable signal, even if the portable device receives a subsequent request signal, transmission of identification information from the portable device is disabled for a predetermined period of time, thereby disabling operation of a door lock actuator. Since the second transmission device transmits a transmission disable signal a plurality of times in succession, the influence of noise is eliminated, thereby reliably preventing the portable transceiver within the vehicle from outputting an ID signal.
