| 20080224543 | Non-contact signal transmission apparatus - A non-contact signal transmission apparatus transmits electric power and a signal in a non-contact manner via magnetic induction. The apparatus includes: a pair of annular electric power cores provided in opposing relationship to each other; a pair of electric power coils respectively provided in an annular form at one of the pair of electric power cores; and a pair of signal coils respectively provided in an annular form inside one of the pair of electric power cores. Relative permeability inside and around the signal coils is lower than relative permeability of the electric power cores. | 09-18-2008 |
| 20080266208 | Image transmission control system, wrighting device, transmitter and computer readable medium - An image transmission control system includes: a displaying medium that forms an image so as to be rewritten in accordance with an external writing force and displays the formed image even after the external writing force is removed; a writing device including: a first communication unit that is adaptable to at least two kinds of communication systems selected from a wired communication system and a plural kinds of wireless communication systems having different communication distances; and a writing unit that applies the external writing force based on image information received by the first communication unit to the displaying unit to write the image; and a transmitter including: a second communication unit that is adaptable to the plural kinds of communication systems of the first communication unit; and a selecting unit that selects a communication system transmitting the image information to the writing device in accordance with information for instructing to transmit the image information. | 10-30-2008 |
| 20080297489 | DATA INPUT SYSTEM - A data input system including electronic paper and a stylus writing device is disclosed. The electronic paper includes a transparent display substrate on which a number of optically readable code patterns have been formed, the optically readable code patterns representing positional information on a display surface, a rear surface substrate opposing the display substrate, and coloring particles that are enclosed between the display substrate and the rear surface substrate and that are movable by applying an electric or a magnetic field. The electronic paper displays an image due to motion of the particle. The stylus writing device includes a writing head provided at the end of the stylus for writing the image by applying an electric or a magnetic field to the electronic paper by contact and includes an optical reading device for optically reading the code patterns formed on the display surface where the end of the stylus contacts. | 12-04-2008 |
