Abstract: A laminated coil component includes: an element body having a first surface and a second surface facing each other in a first direction; a coil unit formed by laminating a plurality of coil conductors in a second direction orthogonal to the first direction inside the element body; a first lead-out conductor; and a second lead-out conductor. A first coil conductor adjacent to the first lead-out conductor in the second direction includes a first side portion extending along the first surface, on a first surface side. A second coil conductor adjacent to the second lead-out conductor in the second direction includes a second side portion extending along the second surface, on a second surface side. The first side portion has a larger line width than other side portions of the first coil conductor and the second side portion.

Abstract: An advertising system and an advertising sign are provided in which the address on the advertising sign can be actively used, the advertising sign can directly serve as a buying and selling device, there is no interference in the advertising sign between the data transmitted simultaneously from a plurality of wireless devices, and the transmission direction of the electromagnetic waves or sound waves transmitted to the advertising sign is clear. The wireless device transmits a terminal address that indicates the address of the terminal to the sign apparatus, the sign apparatus receives the terminal address transmitted from the wireless device and transmits the received terminal address to the advertising server via a public network or the Internet, and the advertising server receives the terminal address transmitted from the sign apparatus and transmits the advertising data to the terminal having the address indicated by the received terminal address.

Abstract: In a wireless communication system formed by a plurality of access points constituting a wireless network, through which user terminals make accesses, and at least one control station configured to control the access points, public access points are systematically set up by a manager of the control station, while user's personal access points to be freely set up by users at desired locations according to needs of users are accommodated by operating the control station to measure a utilization level of each user's personal access point and charge an owner of each user's personal access point according to a measured utilization level and set up relay routes using the public access points and the user's personal access points.

Abstract: A nonseparable thrust ball bearing comprising a pair of races spaced apart in the direction of axis of rotation, a plurality of balls rollable between the races, and a connecting ring rotatably interconnecting the inner peripheries of the races. The ring comprises a hollow cylinder portion, and outer flanges formed at the respective ends of the cylinder portion generally at a right angle therewith and in engagement with the respective races. The cylinder portion is fitted at one end thereof in the corresponding one of the races with a clearance formed therebetween, and the flange of the ring at said one end thereof is fitted in a cutout formed in the corresponding race, with a clearance provided in the cutout around the flange.
