  • Greening Body
    Publication number: 20060123704
    Abstract: A greening structure comprising a plant-cultivatable planting portion on a water-reserving portion and laid on a pavement for forming a greening area. The greening structure further comprises post-shaped members provided substantially consecutively from a portion where an external force loaded on the planting portion is directly received, to the bottom of the water-reserving portion or to the pavement, so that the external force loaded on the planting portion is received on the pavement through the post-shaped members. The greening structure is excellent in the supporting strength and the stability to provide a satisfactory treading feel. The substantially consecutive post-shaped members include: first post-shaped members disposed upward from the bottom of the planting portion; and second post-shaped members disposed downward from the bottom of the planting portion.

  • Card holder for SIM socket
    Patent number: 7059911
    Abstract: Slide parts (32,33), along which the card holder (3) is slid in, are formed on side faces of the card holder (3) along inside faces of guide walls (4,5) of a SIM socket (1). Each of the slide parts (32,33) has a contact piece (36) extended more outwardly than outer surfaces of the slide parts (32,33). The contact piece (36) of the card holder (3) reaches a state of being pressed against the inside faces of the guide walls (4,5) of the SIM socket (1). Therefore, the card holder (3) inserted therein can be prevented from moving in the width direction (B) (i.e., in the direction perpendicular to the insertion direction). Additionally, since the card holder (3) is inserted while allowing the contact piece (36) to be pressed against the inside faces of the guide walls (4,5) of the SIM socket (1), the card holder (3) can be smoothly inserted.

  • Socket for memory card
    Publication number: 20060038012
    Abstract: In a connector housing (2), resinous guide walls (4,5) that slide and guide a card holder (3) are erected on both sides in a width direction (B) perpendicular to a direction (A) in which the card holder (3) holding a memory card (C) is inserted.

    Abstract: In an optical fat measuring apparatus, after a waveguide has been placed opposite a light source and a light receiving section, a reference value for the predetermined quantity of light received predetermined for each light receiving section is compared with the quantity of received light which has been guided from the lighted light source section to the plurality of light receiving sections through the waveguide. If the quantities of light received by a number of light receiving sections are smaller than the reference value for the quantity of light received corresponding to these light receiving sections, and the number of these light receiving sections is smaller than that of the plurality of light receiving sections, the need to clean the light receiving section is displayed.
