  • Publication number: 20110314987
    Abstract: Slide mechanisms arranged in two stages in the vertical direction are used for obtaining a long slide distance for a main body of a cutting machine. For the upper stage slide mechanism, there is adopted the slide mechanism of a pattern in which a slide bar is fixed. This allows the rearward installation space of the slide mechanism to be reduced, and ensures good visibility of the edge of a blade.

  • Patent number: 8085142
    Abstract: A receiver includes two reception antennas, which receive a modulated wave (transmission signal) from each of transmitters, a selection circuit, which alternately selects one of the two reception antennas at a predetermined switching cycle to alternately obtain the modulated wave from the two reception antennas, and a demodulation section, which generates a demodulated signal by demodulating the modulated wave obtained at the selection circuit. The switching cycle is 27 ?s, which is 1/7.4 of the transmission time of data per symbol in the transmission signal from each transmitter, that is, 200 ?s. In other words, the modulated waves from the two reception antennas are alternately obtained at least seven times each while the data of one symbol is transmitted.
