Publication number: 20140148207Abstract: A communication system in which plural portable communication terminals present in a relatively narrow area are safely and securely matched and connected to each other by a simple operation, to exchange various types of information therebetween. When front sides of smartphone terminals are bought close to each other, either one of proximity sensors reacts or detects first. The reacted smartphone terminal allows a bottom speaker to generate ultrasound (e.g., 20 Khz), allows a back LED to light up, and stores the time at which the ultrasound has been detected. When the smartphone terminals are distanced from each other, both of the smartphone terminals stop detecting ultrasound by bottom microphones, and transmit a first reception time information and a second non-reception time information to a web server. The web server groups together and connects the two smartphone terminals, based on the received first time and second time.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 2, 2012Publication date: May 29, 2014Applicant: You-Wing Co., Ltd.Inventor: Yasuhiro Sano

Publication number: 20130250555Abstract: An adapter includes a tabular body configured to close the existing attachment hole opened in the ceiling in a state in which the existing lighting equipment is removed and a positioning convex section protrudingly provided on the front surface of the tabular body on a side remote from the ceiling. A part of a chassis of lighting equipment to be attached anew is partially projected toward the rear surface of a substrate mounted with a light-emitting element and forms a contact convex section. A fitting concave section is formed on the rear side of the contact convex section. The positioning convex section is fit in the fitting concave section formed on a rear side of the contact convex section, whereby the lighting equipment to be attached anew is positioned with respect to and combined with the adapter and attached to the ceiling together with the adapter.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 25, 2012Publication date: September 26, 2013Applicant: Toshiba Lighting & Technology CorporationInventor: Yasuhiro SANO

Patent number: 7829848Abstract: A gas monitoring apparatus includes a sample introducing portion, a measurement portion, an ionization portion, a mass analysis portion, a data processing portion and a display. The sample introducing portion introduces a sample gas including an object material to be measured. The measurement portion measures a concentration of a predetermined coexisting material, which coexists with the object material in the sample gas. The ionization portion ionizes the sample gas. The mass analysis portion analyzes mass of an ion produced by the ionization portion. The data processing portion analyzes signals detected by the mass analysis portion to calculate a concentration of the object material. And the display displays results of analysis conducted by the data processing portion. The data processing portion includes an adjustment portion which adjusts the concentration of the object material according to the concentration of the predetermined coexisting material.Type: GrantFiled: October 2, 2008Date of Patent: November 9, 2010Assignees: Hitachi, Ltd., National Research Institute of Police ScienceInventors: Yasuaki Takada, Masao Suga, Hisashi Nagano, Izumi Waki, Hidehiro Okada, Tatsuo Nojiri, Yasuo Seto, Yasuhiro Sano, Shigeharu Yamashiro, Isaac Ohsawa
