| 20090128870 | IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS AND IMAGE QUALITY ADJUSTMENT METHOD OF IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS - A reading section outputs density information of a gradation pattern image of a recording member. A gradation correction characteristic generation section generates a first gradation correction characteristic f(x). At first image quality adjustment, a detection section detects densities of patch pattern images on an image carrier, and the gradation correction characteristic generation section generates a second gradation correction characteristic g(x). At normal image quality adjustment, the detection section detects densities of patch pattern images on the image carrier, and the gradation correction characteristic generation section generates a second gradation correction characteristic g′(x). A calculation section calculates a difference gradation correction characteristic g″(x) between the gradation correction characteristic g(x) and the second gradation correction characteristic g′(x). An image quality maintaining control section multiplies the difference gradation correction characteristic g″(x) by the first gradation correction characteristic f(x), and adjusts an image quality of an image formed on the recording member. | 05-21-2009 |

| 20100026469 | INFORMATION ACCESS SYSTEM, INFORMATION STORAGE DEVICE AND READER/WRITER DEVICE - An information access system includes a reader/writer device and an information storage device. In the information storage device, a receiver unit senses a carrier of an RF signal at a first frequency for detection, in a first time period occurring at time intervals, and receives an information request signal in response to detection of a carrier of an RF signal at the first frequency, and senses a carrier of an RF signal at a second frequency in response to reception of the information request signal. In the storage device, a control causes the receiver unit to sense a carrier of an RF signal at the first frequency for detection, in a second time period after a sleep time period which is shorter than the time interval, in response to non-detection by the receiver unit of a carrier of an RF signal at the first frequency in the first time period. | 02-04-2010 |
| 20100176930 | ACTIVE TAG APPARATUS, COMMUNICATION APPARATUS AND SYSTEM - A communication apparatus and an active tag apparatus that conduct radio communication with for data transmission and reception by radio with each other are provided. A frequency designation data including local transmission frequency used for data transmission and specifying data on a frequency of a carrier sense to be carried by the active tag apparatus is provided. A controller commands the active tag apparatus to use the frequency designation data for radio communication. | 07-15-2010 |
| 20100225454 | WIRELESS TAG CONTROL METHOD, WIRELESS TAG, AND WIRELESS TAG CONTROL PROGRAM - A wireless tag operable to communicate with a reader/writer, the wireless tag including a sensor that measures a physical quantity and converts the measured physical quantity into an electrical signal and determines whether a pattern formed by the electrical signal corresponds to a first pattern stored in advance in a storage unit and a communicating unit that starts communication with the reader/writer when the sensor determines that the pattern corresponds to the first pattern. | 09-09-2010 |
| 20100271186 | LOCATION DETERMINATION SYSTEM - A reader device of a location determination system gradually changes a transmission power step by step and repeatedly sends an interrogation signal which contains therein information on a power level indicating the transmission power. A tag of the location determination system receives the interrogation signal, sends a response signal into which the information on the power level contained in the interrogation signal is incorporated. The reader device receives the response signal and sends, to a management device, the information on the power level contained in the response signal and identification information for identifying the subject reader device. The management device detects the position of the tag based on the information on the power level and the identification information thus received. | 10-28-2010 |

| 20080243059 | BREAST PUMP - A breast pump can include a breast pump main body having a milking portion and negative pressure generating structure for generating negative pressure. A storing structure can be provided for storing expressed milk, and an opening/closing structure can be disposed between the breast pump main body and the storing structure for temporarily halting or permitting passage of the expressed milk into the storing structure. The milking portion can include a shape maintaining portion and a negative pressure generating portion that serves as a part of the negative pressure generating structure and can be attached to and detached from an inner side of the shape maintaining portion. At least one end of the negative pressure generating portion on an enlarged diameter side can include a flexible diaphragm portion and a pressing portion formed when a folded-back portion of the diaphragm portion passes an imaginary line of extension of a contact portion contacting the breast to press the breast, while the other end of the negative pressure generating portion is connected to the opening/closing structure. | 10-02-2008 |
| 20090255944 | BEVERAGE CONTAINER - The disclosed subject matter provides a beverage container configured to prevent a beverage from leaking out even when a user tilts the container, and allows the user to easily drink the beverage even when pressure within the container is negative. The beverage container can include a container main body, a base member, and a cap body. The base member can have first ventilation means for regulating a pressure variation in the container main body, and second ventilation means for introducing air from the outside when the pressure within the container main body becomes negative in relation to the outside pressure and capable of preventing leakage of a liquid beverage contained in the container main body. The cap body can include ventilation open/close means and the like capable of changing the state of the first ventilation means to a ventilation state or a closed state. The ventilation open/close means can be configured to bring the first ventilation means into the closed state when in a portable state such as when the user carries the beverage container, and to bring the first ventilation means into the ventilation state when in an operating state. | 10-15-2009 |
| 20090308405 | Nipple Protector and Method - A nipple protector is provided, which is able to protect a nipple of a user reliably, by protecting the nipple area so as to maintain a non-contact state with the nipple area and thereby avoiding the causing of pain or unpleasant irritation to the nipple area, as well as avoiding the leaving of marks while reducing irritation when abutted against the breast. A nipple protector having a hard outer member or shell and an inner member made of a material which is more flexible and deformable than the outer member, with an internal space being formed inside the nipple protector, wherein the internal space is formed by a cylindrical portion which extends from the outer member and/or the inner member, and the inner member has an abutting section which surrounds with no gap the nipple area of a wearer completely, and the abutting section is a deformable abutting section which deforms elastically and is capable of making contact, with no gap, with the perimeter of the nipple area. | 12-17-2009 |
