    Abstract: A game device is provided with an SSID setting unit and a channel setting unit. The SSID setting unit sets up an SSID to include an application ID uniquely defined for an application to be executed. For example, when an application A is executed, the SSID is set up to include “TITLE_A”. When an application B is executed, the SSID is set up to include “TITLE_B”. The channel setting unit sets up a communication channel based on the SSID such that the communication channel used in the BSSs do not overlap each other as much as possible.

  • Publication number: 20050251037
    Abstract: An ultrasound diagnosis apparatus comprises a cine-memory for temporarily storing a frame line obtained by transmitting and receiving ultrasound. In a stress echo test, the storage region of the cine-memory is divided into the same number of segments as the number of capturing processes (i.e. the number of scenes). Each segment is used as a ring-buffer, and one or a plurality of frame blocks (one or a plurality of moving images) are stored in the corresponding segment in each capturing process. Prior to execution of a plurality of capturing processes, the number of heart beats indicative of the data amount which can be stored in each segment is obtained and the information is then provided to a user.

  • Publication number: 20040202417
    Abstract: There provided a small low-cost optical monitor device. In this optical monitor device, input fibers and output fibers are arranged in an array on one side, first lenses are arranged in an array on the optic axes of input optical signals outputted from the input fibers, and second lenses are arranged in an array on the optic axes of output optical signals inputted to the output fibers. Input optical signals is inputted to a coupler film via the first lenses and optical signals which pass through the coupler film will be detected by front incidence type PD elements. On the other hand, output optical signals reflected from the coupler film are inputted to the second lenses separate from the first lenses, from which the input optical signals were outputted, and are coupled to the corresponding output fibers. As a result, a reflection and loop back structure is realized. In this reflection and loop back structure, a plurality of input optical signals are reflected accurately by a coupler film and are outputted.

  • Patent number: 6700126
    Abstract: In a radiographic apparatus or a digital cassette in which a metal support is fitted to the interior of a casing of the apparatus through spacers, an x-ray image detection panel is disposed on a front surface of the support, an electric circuit board is fixed to a back surface of the support through projections, and the x-ray image detection panel and the electric circuit board are connected to each other by flexible circuit boards. Because shock absorbers made of sheet-like elastic material or gel material are disposed on the inner side of the side walls of the casing, even if the apparatus is dropped on its side wall by mistake and the side wall of the casing is instantaneously deformed, the shock is absorbed by the shock absorber, and as a result the shock transmitted to the support, the x-ray image detection panel, the flexible circuit board or the like can be reduced, and the shock resistance of the apparatus is improved.
