Abstract: The invention provides a fixation member having a fluororesin tube serving as a release layer which attains both suitable electrical conductivity and high releasability. The fixation member (fixation tube) has a release layer on the surface thereof. The release layer is formed of a fluororesin tube containing carbon. The fluororesin tube has a percent dielectric relaxation of 1.0% to 5.0% or an optical transmission density of 1 to 4. The fluororesin tube preferably has a dielectric constant of 2.15 to 2.5.

Abstract: A vehicular antenna device capable of preventing reception trouble in a radio, a TV receiver, or the like due to noise by suppressing electromagnetic noise radiated from an electronic device or the like is provided. A vehicular antenna device is equipped with an antenna base 2 which is fixed to a vehicle body via an attaching member, an antenna case which covers the antenna base, and an antenna element 5 and a camera module 10 as an electronic device which are disposed in an internal space surrounded by the antenna base 2 and the antenna case. A camera module case 40 surrounds a circuit board 50 of the camera module 10 and thereby shields it.

Abstract: An object is to provide a maintenance monitor device which can display numerical data related to three or more display items on a graph simultaneously, with high visibility and operability.

Abstract: A portable terminal includes a finger sensor that recognizes, in response to contact of a finger, the contact and a movement of the finger; and a conversion unit that converts the movement of the finger recognized by the finger sensor into an input event corresponding to an operation instruction to an application running on the portable terminal. If a period of time from recognition of release of the finger from the finger sensor to recognition of placement of the finger on the finger sensor is less than a predetermined amount of time corresponding to physical limitations of a human, the conversion unit does not convert to the input event the recognition of placement of the finger, and recognition of a movement of the finger until recognition of release of the finger after the recognition of placement of the finger.

Abstract: An electrical connector includes a housing and a plurality of terminals disposed in the housing. The housing includes a bottom wall and a protruding wall. The terminal includes a held portion for being held in the housing, a base portion, a transition portion, an elastic arm portion and a contact portion. The protruding wall includes a plurality of vertical wall portions and a displacement receiving recess. The housing has an opening penetrating the bottom wall at least at a lower side of the displacement receiving recess. The displacement receiving recess communicates with the opening. Further, the base portion and the transition portion of the terminal are situated outside of the displacement receiving recess.

Abstract: An information processing apparatus includes a fingerprint sensor that detects movement of a finger, and a transforming unit that transforms the movement of the finger detected by the fingerprint sensor into an input event corresponding to an operational instruction to an application that runs on the information processing apparatus. When an amount of movement of the finger detected by the fingerprint sensor is greater than a threshold for the amount of movement, the transforming unit inhibits transformation of the movement of the finger detected by the fingerprint sensor into the input event.

Abstract: There is disclosed a method of preparing a refined organic compound, comprising the steps of adding water to an organic reaction mixture and mixing them, and then subjecting the mixture to filtration processing using a filter, to separate an organic phase from an aqueous phase, and then isolating the intended organic compound from said organic phase. The method enables highly precise removal of a water-easily soluble compound from an organic reaction mixture, and it further enables obtaining the intended synthesized organic compound in high yield with a high quality.
