  • Patent number: 8029049
    Abstract: The fender panel structure includes a fender panel formed of resin, disposed above a vehicle's wheel, and forming an outer plate on the side face of the vehicle. The fencer panel has an outer plate part exposed to the side face of the vehicle, and a reinforcement part disposed in the rear face of an adjacent member next to the outer plate part and extending along an edge of the outer plate part, both of which are integrally formed. The fencer plate has a fitting part, into which the adjacent member fits, formed along the interstice between the edge of the outer plate part, and the reinforcement part.

  • Publication number: 20110095474
    Abstract: A device is provided for continuously and concentrically transporting documents of different width through a passageway at a high speed. The device comprises a pair of opposed rollers 131 rotatably mounted on the opposite sides of a passageway 11 to grasp the opposite sides of a bill 70 between rotators 131, 132. At the moment of grasp between rollers 131, a central line C of bill 70 is automatically brought into alignment with a central line G of front passageway 11, and at the same time, bill 70 is grasped by opposed rollers 131 rotating in the adverse directions each other so that rotational force of rollers 131 applied to bill 70 serves to flip bill 70 to the rear of passageway 11.

  • Patent number: 7747187
    Abstract: A cleaning device includes a cleaning roll and an intervening member. The cleaning roll contacts the surface of a charge roll that charges a photoconductor, rotates, and cleans the surface of the charge roll. The intervening member is intervened between the charge roll and the cleaning roll and causes the charge roll and the cleaning roll to separate from each other. The intervening member may be spacers that are intervened at both end portions of the charge roll and the cleaning roll and form a gap between the charge roll and the cleaning roll. The intervening member may also be a lubricant.

  • Patent number: 7356308
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a radio communication apparatus and a radio communications method, a radio communication system, a recording medium, and a computer program in which a response signal to an inquiry is returned to a master only when instructions to perform radio communications are issued. A CPU 51 blinks LED 56 when an inquiry signal is received, and transmits a response to the inquiry signal when a user who has referred to lighting of the LED 56 operates a connection response button 53. The connection response button 53 is operated when the user issues radio communications instructions with respect to the inquiry signal. In other words, even when wireless headphones 2 are within an area capable of radio communications with the master, only if the connection response button 53 is operated by the user, it sends to the master a response to the inquiry, and establishes connection.

  • Publication number: 20080042996
    Abstract: A touch panel according to the present invention is constructed such that a transparent substrate coated with a transparent electrically conductive film and having dot spacers formed on top thereof, and a polarizing plate coated with a transparent electrically conductive polymer on a side thereof facing the transparent substrate, are disposed opposite each other with a prescribed space provided therebetween. As a result, the manufacturing process of the touch panel having such a polarizing plate is greatly simplified and a transparent electrically conductive film having an excellent mechanical strength can be formed as the transparent electrically conductive film of the touch panel.

  • Patent number: 7076210
    Abstract: In the case where close range wireless communication is performed among a plurality of communication devices, when a predetermined connection operation is performed in a first communication device 10a, an inquiry message is wirelessly transmitted in order to discover a device to be connected by the wireless communication after restricting a transmissible distance to a close range; when a predetermined standby operation is performed in a second communication device 10b, the inquiry message is received and a response message to the received inquiry message is wirelessly transmitted; and when the response message is received, the first communication device 10a performs the connection processing with respect to the second communication device 10b.

  • Publication number: 20060052069
    Abstract: A communication apparatus which performs wireless communication with other communication devices existing in the neighborhood, includes: a transmission processing element 13 for processing a transmission signal; an antenna 17 for wirelessly transmitting an output of the transmission processing element 13; and an output power regulation element 16 for attenuating the output of the transmission processing element 13 to be output from the antenna 17 when a search signal to search for other communication devices is transmitted in a predetermined state from the transmission processing element 13. With such configuration, when a signal to search for other devices existing in the neighborhood is transmitted in short range wireless communication, a communication range can be restricted using a simple structure.
