  • Patent number: 10310783
    Abstract: An information processing apparatus which is able to reliably send desired communication setting data irrespective of specifications of an NFC R/W unit placed close to an NFC tag. The NFC tag sends data to a mobile terminal, which is put close the NFC tag, via near-field wireless communication. It is determined whether or not the NFC R/W unit has a transmitting function of transmitting other data to the mobile terminal, which is put close thereto, via the near-field wireless communication. In a case where the NFC R/W unit has the transmitting function and it is determined that the mobile terminal is put close to the information processing apparatus, the transmitting function of the NFC R/W unit is prohibited from being used.

  • Publication number: 20190038127
    Abstract: An OCT apparatus includes an OCT optical system, a processor that processes a signal from the OCT optical system, and a light guiding optical system disposed on a measurement light path of the OCT optical system. The light guiding optical system forms a pivot point, at which a measurement light turns based on motion of an optical scanner deflecting the measurement light, in an anterior portion of a subject eye, and guides the measurement light passed through the pivot point to a fundus. The OCT optical system includes a compensation unit that compensates for an amount of change in a light path length of the measurement light path between a state in which an angle-of-view switching optical system is inserted and a state in which the angle-of-view switching optical system is retracted.

  • Patent number: 9359003
    Abstract: A clutch apparatus is configured such that a first mode, a second mode and a third can be switched among these three modes. In the first mode, the rotating force is not transmitted between the steering-wheel-side housing and the tire-side housing. In the second mode, the steering-wheel-side housing and the tire-side housing are being mutually locked in place and, in this locked state, the rotating force can be transmitted to for the rotation in the both directions. In the third mode, the transmission of the rotating force can be canceled such that while the rotating force can be transmitted, between the steering-wheel-side housing and the tire-side housing, relative to the rotation in one direction, the rotation of either the steering-wheel-side housing or the tire-side housing in the other direction is allowed.

  • Patent number: 9350462
    Abstract: This specification discloses an excellent communication device of a field coupling type that increases field coupling efficiency between electrodes and realizes a small-sized device. This specification also discloses a communication system and an electrode. A communication device 100 includes: a first resonant circuit 121 connected in series to an electrode unit 110 formed with two conductor plates; and a second resonant circuit 122 connected in parallel to the electrode unit 110 and the first resonant circuit 121, which are connected in series. The constant of a resonant circuit is determined so that the voltage V2 to be applied to the electrode unit 110 becomes higher than the voltage V1 to be applied to the electrode unit 110 and the first resonant circuit 121 connected in series. In this manner, a field coupling electrode that has a very high coupling strength at a target frequency is obtained.

  • Patent number: 9273372
    Abstract: Provided are a method for manufacturing a stabilizer and a heating device, the method being able to suppress the occurrence of unevenness in the hardness of a curved portion of a semimanufactured product of the stabilizer and reduce the process time in a tempering process. In electric heating in a first heating step (step A), the temperature of an inside portion of a shoulder can be steeply increased to a temperature (<UA) close to a target temperature (UA) by continuously passing an electric current. In electric heating in a second heating step (step C), the temperature difference between the maximum achieved temperature of the inside portion of the shoulder and the maximum achieved temperature of an outside portion thereof can be decreased by intermittently passing an electric current, thereby making it possible to set the maximum achieved temperatures to a desired target temperature (UA) or a temperature close thereto.
