Also, a method of preparing the saccharide residue-functional organopolysiloxane, comprising condensing a saccharide residue-functional metal thiolate compound wherein the metal is an alkali metal atom or alkaline-earth metal atom. and an organopolysiloxane containing groups having the formula —R2Q wherein R2 is C2 to C10 alkylene, and Q is a group selected from halogen atoms, C1 to C10 alkylsulfonate groups, and C6 to C20 arylsulfonate groups.

Abstract: A bending apparatus reciprocates at least one of an upper table to which a punch is mounted and a lower table to which a corresponding plurality of adjacent divided dies are mounted. At least one bending angle detector is provided between the dies to detect a bending angle of the workpiece. A main body inserts the bending angle detector into a gap between the dies and withdraws the bending angle detector from the gap between the dies. A lift is biased upward by a first elastic body and is configured to be pressed downward by the workpiece at approximately a center of a groove portion of the dies. The lift includes a first engagement member. A rotor support is biased upward by two second elastic bodies having smaller biasing forces than the first elastic body. The rotor support includes second engagement members. Two rotors are provided on opposite sides of the groove portion at an upper portion of the rotor support. The two rotors include workpiece contacts that contact the workpiece.

Abstract: An electronic apparatus, system and method are provided for controlling different types of electronic devices coupled through a serial bus. The electronic apparatus may include an Integrated Drive Electronics (IDE) port for coupling a plurality of different types of IDE devices, each having information for controlling the device, a memory, and an IEEE 1394 interface for coupling the device to another electronic apparatus, such as a personal computer (PC), through an IEEE 1394 cable. Different types of IDE devices, such as a hard-disk drive or a CD-ROM drive, may be coupled to the IDE port. The PC may read information from each IDE device, convert the information into a format defined by the IEEE 1394 standard, and store the information in a provided configuration read-only-memory (ROM).

Abstract: In a detecting device main body 29 of a bending angle detecting device, a pin shaft 35 having a first engagement member 39 is normally biased upward by a first spring 41 in an approximately center position of a groove portion of a die D. In the detecting device main body 29, a rotor supporting member 47 having second engagement members 61 and 63 is normally biased by two second elastic bodies 49 having weaker biasing force smaller than that of the first spring 41. Two rotors 51 are positioned and borne to both sides of a groove widthwise direction of the die D at the upper portion of the rotor supporting member 47. A forward end of the pin shaft 35 is stopped in a lower position than the upper surface of the die by rotatively link members 43 which are engaged with the first engagement member 39 and second engagement members 61 and 63, and the two rotors 51 are positioned below the upper surface of the die.

Abstract: A wireless device is a product to be shipped by a manufacturer/distribution source, which is an object to be processed by an electronic apparatus of this invention. A unique information acquisition unit of a personal computer acquires information unique to the wireless device (e.g., a production number, MAC address, or the like) using a barcode reader. An encryption key generation unit uses the information acquired by the unique information acquisition unit to generate an encryption key used when the wireless device makes wireless communications. An encryption key setting instruction unit issues a command for setting the encryption key generated by the encryption key generation unit to the wireless device. On the other hand, in the wireless device that receives this command, an encryption key setting unit sets this encryption key.
