Patent number: 8413650Abstract: A user inhales medicine ejected from the medicine ejecting section of an inhaler into the air flow duct of an air flow duct forming member through a hole. As the air flow duct forming member is taken off from the inhaler body, the medicine ejecting section is covered by a cap for protection. As the air flow duct forming member is fitted to the inhaler body, the cap is opened and a sensor recognizes the open state of the cap so that the air flow duct forming member is prohibited from being fitted to and taken off from the inhaler body by a claw that is secured to the air flow duct forming member. In this way, the medicine ejecting section is prevented from being damaged when the air flow duct is fitted to and taken away from the inhaler.Type: GrantFiled: July 2, 2009Date of Patent: April 9, 2013Assignee: Canon Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Sachiko Inoue, Hideki Kaneko, Masaru Sugita

Patent number: 6560219Abstract: A hybrid exchange which exchanges the STM data to be transmitted periodically to realize an exchange in unit of the ATM data to be transmitted asynchronously includes asynchronous transmission terminal interface as the interface with an STM terminal, an synchronous transmission terminal interface as the interface with an ATM terminal, an ATM exchange interface as the interface with an ATM exchange, a transmitting unit for transmitting the STM time slot and ATM time slot, and a control unit for controlling the interfaces. The synchronous transmission terminal interface assigns the STM data to be transmitted periodically to the STM time slot, while the asynchronous transmission terminal interface assigns the ATM data to be transmitted asynchronously to the ATM time slot. The STM time slot and ATM time slot are identified by the STM/ATM identifier. The STM time slot is stored by multiplexing a plurality of STM data.Type: GrantFiled: October 16, 1997Date of Patent: May 6, 2003Assignee: Fujitsu LimitedInventors: Takashi Tabu, Masami Murayama, Sachiko Inoue, Hidehiko Suzuki, Yoshihiro Kubota, Kohei Ueki
