  • Image communication apparatus for wireless communication of digital images, and method thereof
    Patent number: 7394966
    Abstract: An image capture apparatus includes an image capture unit, a recording unit, a wireless communication unit and a control unit. The recording unit records digital image captured by the image capture unit on a recording medium. The wireless communication unit transmits the digital image recorded on the recording medium to an external recording apparatus. The control unit determines, using additional information corresponding to the digital image recorded on the recording medium, whether or not the digital image recorded on the recording medium is already transmitted to the external recording apparatus. The additional information is received from the external recording apparatus. The control unit controls the wireless communication unit to transmit the digital image recorded on the recording medium to the external recording apparatus if the control unit determines that the digital image recorded on the recording medium is not already transmitted to the external recording apparatus.

  • Method of manufacturing ceramic multilayer circuit component and handling apparatus for ceramic green sheet
    Patent number: 5573620
    Abstract: Before ceramic green sheets formed on carrier films, which are prepared for manufacturing a ceramic multilayer circuit board, are stacked with each other, each carrier film is separated from each ceramic green sheet, which is maintained in a state being attracted by an attracting head. This separation is rendered to gradually extend over the entire region from an end of the ceramic green sheet.
