| 20090167118 | PIEZOELECTRIC VIBRATING PIECES, PIEZOELECTRIC DEVICES, AND METHODS FOR MANUFACTURING SAME - Piezoelectric vibrating pieces are disclosed made of a piezoelectric material to be mounted in a package. A representative piece includes a base formed of a piezoelectric material, having first and second ends, extending between the ends in a length direction, and having a designated width. The piece includes at least a pair of vibrating arms extending in the length direction from one end of the base, and a pair of supporting arms extending partially in a width direction from between the first and second ends of the base. The supporting arms further extend in the length direction outboard of the base and vibrating arms, and include an adhesive region at the tips of the supporting arms. The adhesive regions are used for mounting the piece to a package. Whereas the tips of the supporting arms do not extend beyond the tips of the vibrating arms, the axial length of supporting arms is greater than the length of the vibrating arms. | 07-02-2009 |

Supporting arms extend from respective side edges of the base, outboard of the vibrating arms in the certain direction. The supporting arms have respective mounting regions near their distal tips. Each supporting arm progressively narrows from its proximal end, coupled to the respective side edge of the base, to its respective mounting region. The progressive narrowing can be via one or more constrictions along the length of the supporting arm. | 04-01-2010 |

To read the information code displayed on the display in a predetermined area during each frame display interval, a synchronization signal synchronized with each of the frame display intervals is generated based on noise emitted from the display, and the information code is restored from a captured image signal obtained by capturing a screen of the display as an image in accordance with the synchronization signal. | 07-01-2010 |
| 20100170950 | INFORMATION CODE READING DEVICE AND READING METHOD, AND INFORMATION CODE DISPLAY READING SYSTEM - It is an object to provide a reading apparatus of an information code, a reading method, and a display reading system of the information code, in which even if symbol areas serving as references when sampling a photograph image signal obtained by photographing a display screen are not provided in the information code, information code data representing the information code can be obtained from the photograph image signal. When reading the information code displayed on a display apparatus, first, an image signal obtained when all pixel cells of the display apparatus have emitted light is extracted as a first image signal from the photograph image signal obtained by photographing the display screen of the display apparatus. Further, an image signal obtained for a period of time during which the information code is displayed is extracted as a second image signal from the photograph image signal. By detecting a point of a center of gravity of the light emission of each of the pixel cells based on the first photograph image signal and sampling the second photograph image signal at the point of the center of gravity of the light emission, the information code data representing the information code is obtained. | 07-08-2010 |
