Patent number: 7296477Abstract: A composite material has a laminated structure of fiber-reinforced resin layers and films of a shape-memory alloy. A predetermined strain has been applied to each film. A damage sensor has a film of an alloy of nickel and titanium. An electric circuit is bonded to the film, and strain gages are connected to the electric circuit. The damage sensor can be laminated to the resin layers in place of the film of the shape-memory alloy. Damage to the composite material is suppressed as follows: A current is applied to the films of the shape-memory alloy, to monitor change in electric resistance of the films. The damage is located in response to the change in electric resistance. Another current is applied to a film of the shape-memory alloy for which the change is larger than the other films to generate heat for deforming the film to generate shrinking stress or shear stress to the damage.Type: GrantFiled: June 8, 2006Date of Patent: November 20, 2007Assignee: Fuji Jukogyo Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Toshimichi Ogisu, Masato Nomura, Norio Ando

Patent number: 7065341Abstract: The object of the present invention is to provide a user authentication apparatus that is easy for the user of a mobile wireless communication terminal to use and that makes it possible to authenticate a user reliably, and to provide a method of controlling this apparatus. After authentication (S25) is performed based upon a user ID and password, e-mail that has been made to include a temporary URL that is valid for a fixed period of time is transmitted to a mobile station 11 (S30). The mobile station 11 is authenticated by determining (S32) whether it has accessed the temporary URL within the period of validity.Type: GrantFiled: November 14, 2001Date of Patent: June 20, 2006Assignee: Telefonaktiebolaget LM Ericsson (publ)Inventors: Hiroyuki Kamiyama, Norio Ando, Joohai Ch'ng
