  • Patent number: 8621972
    Abstract: A band saw blade includes multiple saw teeth having a straight tooth and right and left set teeth, and also includes a gullet portion provided between the saw teeth. A rake surface of each of the saw teeth is provided with a chip curler portion formed into an arc shape at an entire range of approximately 90° to form a chip generated at the time of cutting a work into a small rolled shape before the chip comes into contact with a bottom portion of the gullet portion. A chip non-contact surface to be kept out of contact with the chip is formed to have either a flat surface or a convex surface between the chip curler portion and the bottom portion of the gullet portion, and a dent portion is formed between the chip non-contact surface and the gullet bottom portion, the dent portion recessed from the chip non-contact surface in an opposite direction to a moving direction of the band saw blade in order to increase a radius of a concave curved surface constituting a back side of the gullet bottom portion.

  • Patent number: 7672457
    Abstract: A wireless communication authentication program whereby a slave station in a small-scale wireless LAN system can be authenticated by a simple procedure. A wireless communication authentication device periodically increments a first system timer value (Step S1) for which an optional numerical value is set beforehand. A wireless communication device sets therein a second system timer value (Step S2) so as to coincide with the first system timer value and periodically increments the second system timer value (Step S3). The wireless communication device transmits an authentication request command including a third system timer value (Step S4), and the wireless communication authentication device compares the third system timer value included in the authentication request command with the first system timer value thereof assumed at the time of reception of the command (Step S6).

The left and right set teeth include dovetail shaped set teeth, each having a tooth tip formed into a dovetail shape gradually enlarged in the lateral direction, respectively; and a straight tooth, which is not set. The straight tooth includes a dovetail shaped straight tooth having a tooth tip formed into a dovetail shape gradually enlarged in the lateral direction. In the straight tooth, inclinations are formed on both of left and right ends at the tooth tip, which is formed into the dovetail shape gradually enlarged in the lateral direction.

  • Publication number: 20080098440
    Abstract: An in-vehicle device receives broadcast data from a base station A, calculates a checksum of the received broadcast data, and transmits the checksum to a base station B. The base station B determines whether the checksum received from the in-vehicle device is correct. If the checksum is not correct, the base station B instructs a base station C to retransmit the broadcast data, and the base station C retransmits the broadcast data to the in-vehicle device.

  • Patent number: 7324893
    Abstract: A traffic management system manages, distributes, and controls various traveling states of vehicles at a high quality level. A vehicle-mounted unit performs an interconnection process for user authentication when entering a predetermined radio-wave zone. A radio unit disposed on a road sends interconnection process completion information to a center device when the interconnection process for connection to the vehicle is completed. If the vehicle does not connect to the radio unit after elapsed of a predicted time at which the vehicle is expected to travel across the radio unit, then the radio unit sends an overtime to the center device. The interconnection process completion information is received, the center device calculates a predicted time at which the vehicle is expected to pass across a radio unit, and sends the predicted time to the radio unit. When the overtime is received, the center device determines whether a fault has occurred or not.

  • Patent number: 7280507
    Abstract: If a radio LAN apparatus moves from a communication range of a first access point to a communication range of a second access point, and if communication link between the radio LAN apparatus and the first access point is broken, a memory control section stops transmitting data to the first access point. At this time, data to be transmitted to the first access point are not deleted from memory. After the radio LAN apparatus enters the communication range of the second access point, the memory control section resumes transmission of the data stored in the memory. Thereafter, the next data are transmitted. Thus, the data is transmitted in proper sequence.
