| 20120113424 | Hydrogen Detecting Surface Plasmon Resonator, Surface Plasmon Resonance Optical Hydrogen Detector, and Method for Optically Detecting Hydrogen Using Surface Plasmon Resonance - Light from light source means (a wavelength-variable laser) is applied to a surface of a hydrogen absorbing thin metal film of a hydrogen detecting surface plasmon resonator including a surface plasmon resonance enhancement structure formed by providing in the thin film an array of periodic holes having a shape that is not 90-degree rotational symmetric in the plane of the film surface, and transmitted light is detected with light detecting means (a photometer). Hydrogen is detected on the basis of a change in light transmission frequency characteristic caused by hydrogen absorption in the hydrogen detecting surface plasmon resonator. Optical hydrogen detection that is highly safe and unaffected by variations in the amount of light from the light source and stray light can be achieved. | 05-10-2012 |
| 20110031772 | VEHICLE SEAT ARRANGING STRUCTURE - With a vehicle seat arranging structure, a second-row passenger-side seat may be placed in a rearward slide position by sliding the second-row passenger-side seat toward the rear of a vehicle by 150 millimeters so that the second-row passenger-side seat is closer to the rear of the vehicle than the second-row driver-side seat. In addition, each of the second-row driver-side seat and the second-row passenger-side seat may be placed in an obliquely-inward frontward-oriented position by swiveling each of the second-row driver-side seat and the second-row passenger-side seat from the frontward-oriented position 10 degrees inward in the vehicle-width direction. In this way, the sense of distance between the occupants seated in the second-row driver-side seat and the second-row passenger-side seat is reduced. As a result, it is possible to promote communication between these occupants (to make it easier for these occupants to communicate with each other). | 02-10-2011 |
| 20110007083 | DISTRIBUTED PROCESSING SYSTEM, INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS, AND DISTRIBUTED PROCESSING METHOD - According to an aspect of the embodiment, a user apparatus transmits a parameter on generation of drawing data to each of drawing data generation apparatuses through a network, to assign generation processing of the drawing data to each of drawing data generation apparatuses. The user apparatus receives the drawing data generated based on the parameter by each of the plurality of drawing data generation apparatuses through the network, and displays the received drawing data. The user apparatus changes the parameter corresponding to the displayed drawing data, and displays a new drawing data corresponding to the changed parameter. | 01-13-2011 |
