  • Patent number: 8462210
    Abstract: A vehicle periphery displaying apparatus including an imaging device, a display device and a display controller is disclosed. The imaging device is configured to capture a vehicle periphery image with a wide horizontal filed of view. The display device includes a display screen, a dimension of the display screen in a vertical direction being larger than that in a horizontal direction. The display controller is configured to produce a predetermined-part image so that a part of the vehicle periphery image corresponds to the predetermined-part image. The display controller is further configured to cause the display device to display the vehicle periphery image and the predetermined-part image on the display screen such that the vehicle periphery image and the predetermined-part image are arranged one above the other in the vertical direction.

  • Patent number: 7457585
    Abstract: The home server is a home network server for receiving a broadcasting signal transmitted from a broadcasting station and for transmitting the received broadcasting signal to a wireless terminal by wireless. The home server includes: (i) a digital broadcasting signal receiving section for receiving a digital broadcasting signal, obtained by modulating a first digital signal, as the broadcasting signal; (ii) a digital broadcasting signal demodulating section for demodulating the digital broadcasting signal to the first digital signal; (iii) a TS signal channel coding section for modulating the demodulated first digital signal to a digital wireless signal that the wireless terminal can received by wireless; and (iv) a digital wireless signal transmitting section for transmitting the digital wireless signal to the wireless terminal by wireless.

  • Patent number: 6846518
    Abstract: This invention discloses a continuous production method of water-absorbing composite which comprises a complexation step for producing a particle-substrate composite by dropwisely supplying an aqueous solution of polymerizable monomers consisting mainly of an unsaturated carboxylic acid where 20% or more of the carboxyl groups in the unsaturated acid is neutralized, while allowing polymerization to proceed in the droplets, onto a fibrous substrate fed to the drop point to allow the incompletely polymerized polymer particles to adhere thereon, and by completing the polymerization thereafter; and a surface crosslinking step for reacting the composite with a crosslinking agent, having two or more functional groups capable of reacting with carboxyl group and/or carboxylate group, in the presence of 1 to 100 weight parts of water per 100 weight parts of polymer particles derived from the polymerizable monomer contained in the composite.

  • Publication number: 20040247871
    Abstract: A water-absorbing composite, containing water-absorbing polymer particles immobilized on a fibrous substrate wherein at least a part of said water-absorbing polymer particles consist of primary particles having an average particle diameter of about 50-1000 &mgr;m, wherein about 30% by weight or more of said primary particles are combined to form agglomerates having a shape satisfying the conditions below while nearly maintaining their primary particle shapes and a part of particles of said agglomerates are not adhered to said fibrous substrate. This water-absorbing composite shows excellent water-absorbing properties and a high water-absorbing speed, and most of the highly water-absorbing polymer is stably immobilized on the fibrous substrate and the immobility of swollen gel after absorbing water is also excellent.
