| 20090008432 | HEATING DEVICE, REFLOW DEVICE, HEATING METHOD, AND BUMP FORMING METHOD - A solder bump is formed on a substrate by using a heating device where a lid structure blocks hot air from directly blowing against a solder composition. The heating device can reduce high-temperature oxygen molecules that come into contact with the solder composition, oxidation of the solder composition is suppressed. As a result, although the hot air is used for heating, a solder bump can be formed by the liquid-like solder composition. Further, because the lid structure is uniformly heated by the hot air, radiation heat from the lid structure is also uniform, and a container is more uniformly heated. In addition, because the hot air is suppressed from directly blowing against a liquid surface, the liquid-like solder composition is not scattered by the hot air. | 01-08-2009 |
| 20090024848 | Terminal Identification Method, Authentication Method, Authentication System, Server, Terminal, Wireless Base Station, Program, and Recording Medium - A terminal identification method is provided which enables two-way communications between terminals and a network while identifying terminal IDs and protecting privacy. Also, authentication method and system are provided which require no complicated calculating process, less steps and smaller amount for wireless communications, and less power consumption. A server and terminal share a hash function and an initial value determined for each terminal, calculate the same temporary ID by hashing the initial value the same number of times with the hash function, and identify the terminal using the calculated temporary ID. The server and the terminal also hold a common hash function and authentication information, acquire an authenticating communication parameter from communication parameters temporarily common during communication, and generate an authentication key using the authentication information, the authenticating communication parameter, and the hash function. Then at least one of the server and terminal performs authentication using the generated authentication key. | 01-22-2009 |
| 20090045711 | THIN SLIDE UNIT - Provided is a thin slide unit which allows, in a case where two ball plates each formed with a track-like ball groove are combined to thereby construct an endless circulation path for balls, by merely directly connecting the two ball plates without using a guide plate, balls to smoothly circulate, and a slider to smoothly reciprocate with respect to a guide rail. An endless circulation path for the balls of the slider is formed such that the two ball plates each formed with the track-like ball groove are caused to face each other, and that the ball plates are directly connected. Peripheral sides of the two ball plates oppose to each other, to thereby form a load opening portion for causing the balls in the endless circulation path to contact a rolling groove of the guide rail, and form a scooping-up portion for raising the balls from the rolling groove to guide the balls into the endless circulation path. | 02-19-2009 |
| 20090271580 | INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS FOR MANAGING HISTORY OF ELECTRONIC INFORMATION - An electronic information format includes a header module and a history module in addition to source electronic information. A control program is incorporated in the header module, and the control program is expanded on a reception side. An operation on the electronic information on the reception side is recorded by the control program, and is written in the history module when the electronic information is closed. On a providing side, there are provided a program for creating electronic information of the present format, and a program for reading the history data from the electronic information. By this system, when the electronic information is provided, an operation, which is executed on the electronic information on the reception side, is recorded, and the record can be confirmed on the providing side. | 10-29-2009 |
| 20100161606 | INFORMATION SEARCH SYSTEM, INFORMATION SEARCH METHOD, AND PROGRAM - This invention provides an information search system including a management table which stores a name of a memory area and memory area information indicating the memory area in association with each other. When received source information search destination information indicates that source information to be searched is stored in a memory, the information search system searches the management table for a name of a memory area which matches a received source information name of the source information to be searched. When the name of the memory area which matches the received source information name of the source information to be searched is retrieved, the system acquires information which matches the received search target condition information from memory area information associated with the retrieved name of the memory area. | 06-24-2010 |
