  • Patent number: 8431821
    Abstract: An anode substrate constituted of a conductive film forming substrate and a reinforcing substrate having different thermal expansion coefficient and being bonded together by the arrangement of adhesive layers is disclosed. The substrate can prevent creation of cracks on the conductive film forming substrate when heating and cooling the anode substrate. The adhesive layers are arranged at an interval, each of the adhesive layers being formed into a shape selected from a group consisting of a rectangular strip shape and a curved strip shape. The adhesive layers are arranged in a pattern to be symmetry with respect to a center line of the arrangement of the adhesive layers extending perpendicular to a line connecting both longitudinal ends of the arrangement of the adhesive layer. Furthermore, the adhesive layers include an outer adhesive portion located outward among remaining adhesive layers, and the outer adhesive layers are arranged shorter than the remaining adhesive layers.

  • Publication number: 20040229598
    Abstract: A mobile phone 100-1 transmits an identification number of the mobile phone 100-1 to a car navigation device 10. Next, the mobile phone 100-1 transmits a host application to the car navigation device 500. The car navigation device 500 stores the identification number and the host application. Upon receipt of a request in which an identification number is included from the car navigation device 500, the mobile phone 100-1 checks the identification number. If the number is correct, the mobile phone 100-1 transmits a guest application executable with the host application to the car navigation device 10.

  • Publication number: 20040212485
    Abstract: A communication terminal first transmits to an electronic device a request for a device ID of the electronic device. Upon receipt of a device ID, the communication terminal authenticates the device using the ID. If the authentication is successful, the communication terminal reads from a storage an application program for executing the content, in which program a content provider ID is included, and transmits the program to the device. Upon receipt of a content provider ID from the electronic device, in which the application program is executed, the communication terminal authenticates the content provider ID to determine whether the device is authorized to receive the content. If the authentication is successful, the communication terminal reads the content from the storage, and transfers it to the device.

  • Patent number: 6392702
    Abstract: In a video camera apparatus having a camera main-body unit and a lens unit detachably mounted on the camera main-body unit, a state of the lens unit attached to or detached from the camera main-body unit is determined. If the lens unit is not accurately attached to the camera main-body unit, a power supply is controlled and various driving units in the lens unit are disabled or set in a state of low power consumption. At the same time, picture recording is prohibited on the camera main-body unit side, and a nonmounting state of the lens is displayed.

  • Patent number: 6266129
    Abstract: A digital photograph processing system capable of facilitating editing operation after photographing and outputting a photograph of defined dimensions in a short period of time. A cut range of picture data which permits a distance between two points of picture data required to be realized as an actual predetermined dimension is operated by merely inputting the two points by operation, resulting in a photograph being outputted. This highly facilitates designation of a cut position as compared with the conventional image or picture processing.

  • Patent number: 5999206
    Abstract: A light-amount correction dynamic range expanding device that can increase the number of exposure gray levels without increasing the memory capacity of the storage section for light-amount correction. Input data is formed of (n+k) bits to increase exposure gray-scale level. A first look-up table stores the output densities to the number of exposure gray levels for photosensitive substances classified by photosensitivity. Of (n+k) bits output from the first table, a first selector selectively outputs only effective n bits to a second table 2 to use m bits needed for a photosensitive substance. The second look-up table stores brightness information to correct variations in brightness between luminous dots of a print head, with a memory capacity of n bits. A FIFO memory temporarily stores the brightness information. A selector 2 again converts the output from the FIFO memory into a (n+k)-bit form and ten it to a gray-scale control means.
