  • Publication number: 20060107270
    Abstract: The present invention provides a system capable of individually controlling each of receiving devices while making full use of the advantages of broadcasting. Simultaneous transmission is carried out from a broadcasting device 2 to a plurality of receiving devices 6 via a broadcasting path. Further, the broadcasting device 2 sends operation control data to the receiving device 6 through a communication path. The receiving device 6 changes its operation in accordance with the operation control data when received broadcasting is decoded. In this way, each of the receiver devices 6 can be controlled individually using the operation control data while making full use of the advantages of broadcasting.

  • Patent number: 7042530
    Abstract: The transfer apparatus includes a light source, a transmission type image display device in which a liquid crystal layer is held between two sets of substrates and polarizing plates and a photosensitive recording medium. The light source, the image display device and the photosensitive recording medium are arranged in series along a direction in which light from the light source advances and the image display device and the photosensitive recording medium are arranged in a non-contact state. A display image transmitted from the transmission type image display device is transferred to the photosensitive recording medium. A distance between the image display device and the photosensitive recording medium and a sum total of thicknesses of the substrate and the polarizing plate at least on a side of the photosensitive recording medium in the image display device are set in accordance with a definition of the display image.

  • Publication number: 20040187966
    Abstract: The present invention provides a vacuum heat treating method, such as carburization, carbonitridation, high temperature carburization, high concentration carburization and the like, performed while supplying a mixed gas of ethylene gas and hydrogen gas under reduced pressures. The method includes: detecting a quantity of ethylene gas and that of hydrogen gas in a vacuum heat treating furnace (1); calculating an equivalent carbon concentration of atmosphere on the basis of the detected quantity of ethylene gas and that of hydrogen gas; and comparing the calculated value with a targeted value which is set on the basis of a material specification and required heat treatment performance of an object to be treated (a workpiece), to control quantities of ethylene gas and hydrogen gas supplied into the vacuum heat treating furnace (1) on the basis of a difference between the calculated value and the targeted value. A heat treatment quality required for the workpiece can be obtained with accuracy and reproducibility.
