  • Publication number: 20110112819
    Abstract: System and methods for viewing a mobile screen from a mobile device on the desktop of a computer by operating a predefined pair of a mobile application program and a computer application program to provide continuous seamless integration of the processing of the data file as a pseudo-single session. When the user operates certain operations, the document opened by the mobile device application program is saved as a file, and automatically transferred from the mobile device storage file system to the computer storage file system. A pre-defined equivalent application software on the computer is launched and the copied computer file is opened on the computer screen outside or overlapping to the mobile device screen emulation window.

  • Patent number: 7786650
    Abstract: Provided is an ultrasonic motor capable of realizing high torque. When two terminals are selected from a first terminal (31t), a second terminal (32t), and a third terminal (33t) of a vibrator (3), and AC voltages whose phases are shifted by 90 degrees relative to each other are respectively applied through both of those two terminals, vibration is generated in the stator vibration body (S), and elliptical vibration in a plane corresponding to the selected two terminals is generated at each of a step (9) of a first stator (2) and a corner (11) of a second stator (10), which are in contact with a rotor (6). Since the first stator (2) and the second stator (10) form the single stator vibration body (S), the step (9) of the first stator (2) and the corner (11) of the second stator (10) vibrate in the same vibration mode, rotational force is transmitted from both the step (9) of the first stator (2) and the corner (11) of the second stator (10), and the rotor (6) rotates with high torque.

  • Publication number: 20100191454
    Abstract: A personal organizer automatically obtains current position and traffic information for events scheduled on a calendar in the personal organizer. This information is used in combination with event location information and map information in the personal organizer to calculate and present route and estimated time of arrival information to the scheduled event. If the ETA is later than the event time in the calendar, automatic delay notifications can be sent to contacts associated with the event.

  • Patent number: 7638927
    Abstract: Provided is a vibration actuator in which a plurality of rotors can be driven by a single vibration unit. Two rotors (A) and (B) are attracted toward corresponding stators to be contacted with and pressurized against the corresponding stators (3) and (4), respectively, through a tension of a wire member (8). A composite vibration combining a plurality of vibrations is generated by a composite vibrator (2) to cause elliptical movements in corner portions of the stators (3) and (4). As a result, the two rotors (A) and (B) abutting onto and pressurized against the two stators (3) and (4) are rotated about rotation centers (C1) and (C2) thereof, respectively, at the same time.
