  • Publication number: 20110126090
    Abstract: A component cooperation device communicates with a terminal through a network and provides a web page to the terminal in response to a request to display the web page. The device updates components of the web page by identifying a standard parameter in content of a first component for the web page, in which the standard parameter has a name and a value. A second component of the web page is identified that has content that includes the standard parameter name that is also in the content of the first component. The content of the second component is updated by changing the standard parameter in the content of the second component to have the standard parameter value of the standard parameter in the content of the first component. The device creates creating the web page from the content of the first component and the update content of the second component.

  • Patent number: 7365914
    Abstract: An actuator comprises: an electro-mechanical conversion element; a driving frictional member that is mounted onto one side in an extension/contraction direction of the electro-mechanical conversion element; a driven member that is frictionally engaged with the driving frictional member; a fixed frame; an elastic supporting member that is mounted onto the other side in the extension/contraction direction of the electro-mechanical conversion element and displaceably supports the other side of the electro-mechanical conversion element with respect to the fixed frame; and a pressing member that presses the elastic supporting member in the extension/contraction direction to maintain the elastic supporting member in an elastically deformed state.

  • Patent number: 5186325
    Abstract: A cassette case is constructed such that a tape cassette is supported to a lid side by utilizing guiding protrusions provided on the side portions of the tape cassette. Also, a recess portion is formed on the inner surface of the casing so as to accommodate therein a thick portion which forms a front opening portion of the tape cassette, thereby a thickness of the entirety of the cassette case being reduced. Further, in an index sheet inserted into the cassette case, a portion corresponding to the recess portion formed in the inside of the casing is formed as a recess-shaped portion, and thus this index sheet is suitably applied to the above-mentioned thin cassette case.
