20080242369 | PORTABLE ELECTRONIC APPARATUS - When a host PC acts as a host and communicates with a portable electronic apparatus, the portable electronic apparatus can release connection between the portable electronic apparatus and the host PC in no response to the host PC and in accordance with an amount of remaining power of a rechargeable battery. Also, the release of the connection between the portable electronic apparatus and the host PC results in that it is possible to avoid an access error for an HDD due to a shortage in the amount of remaining power of the rechargeable battery, and thus it is possible to prevent media data from being damaged due to the shortage in the amount of remaining power of the rechargeable battery. | 10-02-2008 |
20090218773 | NTERFACE SEAL - A seal member has a configuration including a ring-shaped main body portion, an inner peripheral lip portion protruding from a ring inner peripheral portion of the main body portion and an outer peripheral lip portion protruding from a ring outer peripheral portion of the main body portion. The inner peripheral lip portion takes an O-ring shape deformable in a protruding direction. The outer peripheral lip portion takes a structure deformable in a direction different from an extending direction, corresponding to a pressure in a sealed area. The member preferably sealing, when communicating a plurality of spaces separated from an external space, these spaces from an external environment, is thereby provided. | 09-03-2009 |
20100254786 | DUST RESISTANT LOAD PORT APPARATUS AND MINI-ENVIRONMENT SYSTEM - In a load port apparatus, a clearance is formed between an inner circumferential surface of an opening of the chamber and an outer circumferential surface of a door. The area of the clearance between the plate and the opening portion on a plane flush with an interior side of the chamber is larger than the area of the clearance between the plate and the opening portion on a plane flush with the exterior of the chamber. A fan located at an upper side of the chamber generates a first flow of air in the downward direction. The clearance generates a second flow of air from the interior of the chamber to the exterior of the chamber. The second flow of air is generated by the difference in the area of the interior cross section of the clearance and area of the exterior cross section of the clearance. | 10-07-2010 |
20100268545 | EXAMINATION MANAGEMENT APPARATUS FOR ENDOSCOPIC EXAMINATION - An examination-schedule memory unit stores an examination schedule including a plurality of examinations. An operation-status acquisition unit acquires the operation status of a washing apparatus that washes a scope used for an examination. A rescheduling unit changes the start time of at least one examination included in an examination schedule in accordance with the operation status acquired by the operation-status acquisition unit. The rescheduling unit may specify the washing-completion time of the used scope based on the washing-start time acquired by the operation-status acquisition unit, determine whether or not an already-washed scope will be available at the start time of each examination based on the specified washing-completion time and the start time of each examination, and change, when it is determined that there will be no already-washed scopes available, the start time of the examination to be after the time at which an already-washed scope will become available. | 10-21-2010 |
20110070055 | LOAD PORT APPARATUS AND DUST EXHAUST METHOD FOR LOAD PORT APPARATUS - In a load port apparatus, a door driving mechanism that supports a door through a communication opening portion leading to a mini-environment is housed in a housing chamber that is in communication with the mini-environment through the communication opening portion. Exhaust opening portions are provided in the upper portion of a wall of the housing chamber that is opposed to the communication opening portion and a bottom wall of the housing chamber. Thus, gas passages from the mini-environment to the housing chamber and then to the external space are formed. Thus, dust in the load port apparatus is removed. | 03-24-2011 |
20120266260 | DIAGNOSING AND TREATING IGA NEPHROPATHY - Provided are methods of diagnosing IgA nephropathy in a subject. Optionally, the methods comprise isolating an IgG from the subject and determining whether the IgG binds to a galactose-deficient IgA1. Optionally, the methods comprise providing a biological sample from the subject and detecting in the sample a mutation in a IGH gene, wherein the mutation is in a nucleotide sequence encoding a complementarity determining region 3 (CDR3) of a IGH variable region. Optionally, the methods comprise determining a level of IgG specific for a galactose-deficient IgA1 in the subject. Also provided are methods of treating or reducing the risk of developing IgA nephropathy in a subject. | 10-18-2012 |
20140118517 | MEDICAL INFORMATION MANAGEMENT APPARATUS AND MEDICAL INFORMATION MANAGEMENT SYSTEM - An order storage unit stores an order for a medical practice to be performed using an endoscopic system. A control unit transmits an order to the endoscopic system via a communication line and also transmits device setting information linked to at least one of a doctor and a medical practice type specified by the order. When the control unit receives a notification of a change from the endoscopic system while the medical practice specified by the order is being performed, the control unit transmits new device setting information corresponding to the change to the endoscopic system. | 05-01-2014 |
20160041883 | COMPUTER SYSTEM - A computer system includes an interrupt controller to notify a bus error occurrence, and a multithreaded processor. The multithreaded processor includes a schedule register that settles a sequence of performing a plurality of virtual CPUs and stores data for virtual CPUs to be performed, and a virtual CPU execution portion that performs virtual CPUs according to a sequence settled by the schedule register. Virtual CPUs operate different operating systems (OS's) and include a first virtual CPU that operates a management OS to manage other OS's. When notified of bus error occurrence, the virtual CPU execution portion operates only the first virtual CPU regardless of an execution sequence settled in the schedule register. The first virtual CPU reinitializes a bus where an error occurred. | 02-11-2016 |
