  • Patent number: 8291547
    Abstract: A cushion clip includes a hollow cushioning portion, an engagement portion and a projection. The cushioning portion has a bottom wall portion and a side wall portion, and the side wall portion has cone-shaped outer and inner surfaces that are tapered from a proximal end toward a distal end thereof. The side wall portion has a top portion that is formed in the distal end thereof, and the top portion has an inner periphery radially inwardly protruding from the side wall portion and defining the central opening therein. The projection is cylindrically projected from the bottom wall portion toward the central opening of the cushioning portion, and has an upper end portion which diameter is larger than or equal to a diameter of the opening.

  • Patent number: 8174628
    Abstract: A flexible LCD (2) is a flexible display. The flexible LCD (2) is pulled out from an upper cabinet to change a display area of the flexible LCD (2). An amount-of-sliding detecting section (4) measures the pullout amount (amount of sliding) of the flexible LCD (2) when the flexible LCD (2) is pulled out from a mobile terminal unit (1) or is retracted into the mobile terminal unit (1). A display controller (3) causes the flexible LCD (2) to display in a manner responsive to the amount of sliding that is measured by the amount-of-sliding detecting section (4). The foregoing makes it possible to utilize effectively the display having a display area that is revealed when the display is pulled out.

  • Patent number: 7620713
    Abstract: Control commands are sent from communication stations (A, B) to devices (D to F), such as a VTR, connected to a communication station (C) via radio networks (NW) provided between the communication stations (A, B) and the communication station (C), thereby controlling the devices (D to F). As a result, video signals outputted from the devices (D to F) via analog wirings (W) are sent from the communication station (C) to the communication stations (A, B) so that videos based on the video signals are displayed in display devices (A11, B11) via the communication stations (A, B). In the communication station (C), identifiers for specifying controllers (A1, B1) which have sent the control commands to the communication stations (A, B) and identifiers for specifying the devices (D to F) controlled are made to respectively correspond to each other, and are stored so that a controller which can be allowed to control is specified.

  • Publication number: 20090046623
    Abstract: When a communication station receives trigger for a stream to be transmitted or received by the communication station, the communication station determines whether the communication station transmits the stream in a network, and the communication station changes whether the communication station obtains a communications resource of the network from a communications resource management station in accordance with a result of the determination.

  • Publication number: 20060165662
    Abstract: An isolation method for target cells, capillaries and microorgans comprises perfusion of an organism with a solution containing magnetic beads, removal of a selected tissue or region of the organism, digestion of the portion removed and isolation of the target cells, capillaries or microorgans using a magnet. Filtration may be used to facilitate the method.

  • Publication number: 20060155856
    Abstract: A communications device (non-AP QSTA) transmits a request signal to a central control device (HC) so as to establish downlink stream communications from the central control device to the communications device. The request signal indicates a request for an ACK information specify process related to group ACK. The central control device receives, from the communications device, the request signal indicating a request for an ACK information specify process. The central control device transmits, to the communications device, a response signal to the request signal indicating a request for an ACK information specify process. The communications device receives the response signal from the central control device.

  • Publication number: 20060146764
    Abstract: When a wired connection detecting section 27 receives a connection establishment request from a wired network, a band conversion section 28 calculates a bandwidth required for wireless communications on the basis of bandwidth information obtained from communications in the wired network. Then, on the basis of the bandwidth calculated, the wireless resource management section 30 secures a communications resource in a wireless network.

  • Publication number: 20050183115
    Abstract: When the operator pushes a switching button provided on a controller, a local communication station selects a remote communication station in accordance with a predetermined order, and in the remote communication station, a device is selected in accordance with a predetermined order. When the operator pushes the switching button provided on the controller again, a message that switching to all devices in the remote communication station has been completed is transmitted to the local communication station, and in accordance with the foregoing order, a remote communication station, which is a remote communication station to be selected next, is selected. In the remote communication station concerned, a device is selected in the same manner in accordance with a predetermined order. With this arrangement, it is possible to easily select a desired content even if contents such as devices are located at a plurality of stations in a dispersed manner.
