  • Patent number: 7577668
    Abstract: A high reliability information transmission system which can continue transmission upon at the occurrence of multiple failures. The system includes two transmission lines and transmission terminals coupled to both of the transmission lines. Data can be transmitted between respective terminals using both transmission lines. The transmission terminals check the data reception status at the corresponding receiving terminals. When data is not being received, the data may be relayed to the receiving terminal using one of the other transmission lines.

  • Patent number: 7541992
    Abstract: A mobile radio communication device has an antenna, a circuit board to which the antenna is connected and on which a plurality of electronic elements are mounted, an inner casing formed of resin and housing the circuit board, and an outer casing of resin covering the inner casing. The antenna is located on that portion on an outer face of the inner casing which is covered by the outer casing, and the antenna is disposed to penetrate into the inside of the inner casing through a hole formed on the inner casing, and the feeding end of the antenna is connected to the circuit board. This allows the antenna to be spaced apart from other electronic elements on the circuit board in the lower body without protruding the antenna outside, to achieve a sufficient antenna property by elimination of effects from other electronic elements.

  • Publication number: 20080093512
    Abstract: An umbrella bag storage device includes a device body 1 in which an umbrella bag 30 is loaded. A tongue member 19, which opens an opening 31 of the umbrella bag 30, and a tip contacting member 17 are attached to a rotating plate 15 in a turnable manner. When a tip of a folding umbrella 40 is brought into contact with the tip contacting member 17, whereby the tip contacting member 17 turns to cause the tongue member 19 to open the opening 31 of the umbrella bag 30. A long hole 17c and a protruding section of a first spindle 14 are engaged such that the tip contacting member 17 and the tongue piece 19 are capable of advancing/retracting. In addition, a torsion spring 21 urges the tip contacting member 17 and the tongue member 19 to the front toward the umbrella bag 30. When a folding umbrella is stored in an umbrella bag, the user's hand, which has been inserted inside of the device, is prevented from being trapped and pinched by the bag opening member.

  • Publication number: 20080072723
    Abstract: Sliced specimens can be automatically and continuously prepared and burdens of an operator can be reduced while accuracy required for the sliced specimen is maintained. The sliced specimen is prepared by relatively moving a specimen block transfer section and a cutter, and when a slicing operation to adjust the height position of the specimen block is continuously performed so that the cutting surface of the specimen block is located at a sliceable position, the cutter is moved so that a contacting area of a blade edge of the cutter that firstly contacts the specimen block after the height position adjustment is sequentially changed, every time previously set number of times of slicing operation is completed. Thereafter, the height position of the blade edge of the cutter after the change is measured by a detector, and based on the measurement information of the detector, the sliceable position is corrected and the slicing operation is resumed.
