  • Patent number: 11940523
    Abstract: An electronic device includes a transmission antenna that transmits a transmission wave, a reception antenna that receives a reflected wave that is the reflected transmission wave, and a control unit that detects an object that reflects the transmission wave, based on a transmission signal transmitted as the transmission wave and a reception signal received as the reflected wave. The electronic device transmits, to an information processing apparatus, sensing information based on the transmission signal and the reception signal at a location of the electronic device along with location information of the electronic device.

  • Patent number: 9636136
    Abstract: With respect to a forceps type treatment instrument including an ultrasound probe that protrudes from a treatment instrument main body at a position separated to a distal end side from a shaft portion, and a jaw that is displaceable between a closed state and an opened state by being linked with swing action of an clamp arm in a position separated to a distal end side from the shaft portion, stoppers are extendedly provided toward a clamp arm side from a treatment instrument main body side in a state in which edge portions at a distal end side are set to located at a distal end side from a locus of a proximal end of the jaw, and entry of a living body into a gap of the treatment instrument main body and the clamp arm is restricted.

  • Patent number: 4839506
    Abstract: An IC (integrated circuit) card identification system includes a comparator for comparing a first identification number entered by a cardholder with a second identification number, a storage memory for storing at least the second identification number, a timer for measuring a time lapse during a card-identifying operation, and a central controller for controlling the timer to set a first processing time period to be substantially equal to a second processing time period. During the first processing time period, the comparator determines that the first identification number is coincident with the second identification number since the first identification number has been entered. During the second processing time period, the comparator determines that the first identification number is incoincident with the second identification number since the first identification number has been entered.
