  • Patent number: 7926194
    Abstract: To implement a detection technique in which a tumble of and a shock to on articles can be detected even with a simple and low-cost structure. An indicator according to the present invention for detecting a tumble of and a shock to an article moves away from a holding guide in a detector when the detector inclines and goes beyond a limit for inclination. The indicator includes a first part in the shape of rolling on the holding guide when the detector inclines, and a second part smaller than the first part and in the shape of not preventing the first part from rolling. The first part and the second part join together and separate when receiving a shock.

  • Publication number: 20070118497
    Abstract: There is provided methods, machine-readable media, and systems for linking a character string in a first file with a character string in a second file, both of the character strings being stored in a memory of a computer, the character string in the second file being identical to the character string in the first file and enclosed by a first tag. In one embodiment, a method is provided which comprises adding a second tag to the character string enclosed by the first tag in the second file for indicating a location of the character string; and adding a link mark which specifies the second tag as a link destination to a character string in the first file, the character strings being identical to the character string enclosed by the first tag.
