20080307239 | ELECTRONIC DEVICE AND POWER SUPPLY METHOD - According to one embodiment, an electronic device includes: a switch which switches between connection and disconnection of a sideband signal transmitted by a device attached to the electronic device; a power switch circuit which switches between supply and interrupt of power to the device; a nonvolatile memory which holds a setting; and a control section which controls the switch and the power switch circuit based on the setting. | 12-11-2008 |
20090078759 | Electronic Device, Method and Computer-Readable Recording Medium for Controlling Electronic Device - An electronic device having a maneuvering part provided at an external part of the electronic device for maneuvering the electronic device that includes a unique data storage part configured to store unique data identifying a valid non-contact key medium, a data reading part configured to read data stored in a target non-contact key medium placed in the vicinity of the data reading part, a validity determining part configured to determine whether the data read from the target non-contact key medium are valid by comparing the data read from the target non-contact key medium with the unique data, and a mode switching part configured to switch the maneuvering part from a regular mode to an adjustment mode for adjusting the electronic device in a case where the validity determining part determines that the data read from the target non-contact key medium are valid. | 03-26-2009 |
20090249996 | Silicon single crystal pulling method - Until pulling a silicon single crystal is started after silicon raw materials filled in a quartz crucible are melted, the quartz crucible containing silicon melt is rotated while a rotating direction thereof is periodically alternated. Then, the silicon single crystal is pulled up by the CZ method. This pulling method can reduce micro defects, which are caused by bubbles formed in an inner surface of the quartz crucible, and dislocation in the single crystal. | 10-08-2009 |
20090267302 | GIFT ACQUISITION GAME MACHINE - A gift acquisition game machine | 10-29-2009 |
20090295095 | Prize acquisition game device - Provided is a prize acquisition game device in which a control unit constituted from a microcomputer controls a prize acquisition unit that moves in a game space with a plurality of prizes disposed therein, and controls the acquisition of the prize. The control device moves the prize acquisition unit to the target prize based on an operation signal, judges the success of the acquisition of the prize, and moves the prize acquisition unit that acquired the prize to apposition where the prize can be paid out to the player. And an obstruction unit for obstructing the prize while it is being transported, or when the prize is to be dropped in the prize payout slot has been provided. | 12-03-2009 |
20100054119 | MOBILE COMMUNICATION SYSTEM, USER EQUIPMENT, AND COMMUNICATION ENDING PERIOD SHORTENING METHOD TO BE UTILIZED IN THE SYSTEM AND EQUIPMENT - The present invention provides a user equipment that can shorten the time required for a communication ending. The user equipment is put into an error monitoring state in the procedure a | 03-04-2010 |
20100090408 | ARTICLE CAPTURING GAME MACHINE - To enabling actions that meet even diversified display patterns such as a prize hooked on a prize drop hole. An article housing section for storing articles, an article capturing section for capturing an article in the article housing section, lifting means for moving the article capturing section up and down, control means for controlling the movement of the article capturing section by the lifting means, and detection means for detecting that the article capturing section being moved downward by the lifting means strikes against any object including the article in the article housing section are provided. The control means performs control for operating the lifting means to continue to move the article capturing section downward even after the control means receives a detection signal from the detection means, and after the continued downward movement, stopping the downward movement of the article capturing section. | 04-15-2010 |
20100326349 | METHOD OF MANUFACTURING SILICON SINGLE CRYSTAL, APPARATUS FOR PULLING SILICON SINGLE CRYSTAL AND VITREOUS SILICA CRUCIBLE - Leakage of silicon melt is monitored and touch of a seed crystal at the silicon melt is detected, and in addition, reinforcement of a vitreous silica crucible to be endurable during pulling for a long time and decrease of impurity concentration of a silicon single crystal can be expected. A method for manufacturing a silicon single crystal is provided. The method includes: detecting touching status of a seed crystal at silicon melt by supplying voltage V | 12-30-2010 |
20150058501 | INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS AND INFORMATION PROCESSING METHOD - An information processing method of the embodiment is related to an information processing apparatus having a dedicated port serving as a first kind general-purpose port and a combo port serving as both the first kind general-purpose port and a kind second general-purpose port. The method includes an accumulation step, an analysis step and a notification step. The accumulation step accumulates data about use status of each of the general-purpose ports. The analysis step analyzes the data about the use status of each of the general-purpose ports based on the accumulation of the data. The notification step sends a notification of efficient use of the general-purpose ports to the outside based on the analysis of the data. | 02-26-2015 |
