| 20090126147 | BLOWER DUCT - A portable-blower duct has a bendable portion whose inner peripheral surface is a cylindrical surface without any protrusions or recesses in a normal state or in an expanded state, that is, unless it is greatly curved. With this construction, no turbulence is generated in air passing through a tube, thereby making it possible to suppress pressure loss. Thus, the flow velocity of air guided through the duct is not reduced, thereby suppressing a deterioration in air blowing efficiency. Even when the tube is curved, the outer side of the curved portion is expanded, and the corresponding portion of the inner peripheral surface remains a smooth surface, thus making it possible to minimize the air pressure loss. | 05-21-2009 |
| 20090162070 | OPTICAL TRANSMISSION MODULE - An optical transmission module includes a first transmission line for transmitting an electric signal, a resistance element used as a termination point, a second transmission line connected to the resistance element, and a surface ground pattern forming a coplanar line through the first and second transmission lines on a surface of a substrate. A modulator-integrated light-emitting element for outputting output light from an output end face is connected to the surface ground pattern. An electrode pad for modulator driving is located near the output end face on a top face of the modulator-integrated light-emitting element. The first transmission line and the electrode pad are connected by a first wire. The electrode pad and the second transmission line are connected by a second wire. A first notch portion is located in the substrate at a point of intersection between a propagation path of output light of the modulator integrated light-emitting element and a first side face of the substrate. The first and second transmission lines and the electrode pad are aligned. | 06-25-2009 |
| 20110058224 | COLOR PROCESSOR, IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS, COLOR PROCESSING METHOD AND COMPUTER READABLE MEDIUM - A color processor includes: an acquisition unit that acquires first and second multi-valued color signals respectively indicating in a multi-valued manner quantities of first and second color materials used for reproducing color with a specific hue, the second color material having a different density from the first color material; a generation unit that generates first and second binary color signals by performing dither processing, respectively with first and second dither matrices, for the first and second multi-valued color signals acquired by the acquisition unit, the second dither matrix having the same angle and the same number of lines as the first dither matrix and being used for forming halftone dots at positions different from positions of halftone dots formed by use of the first dither matrix; and an output unit that outputs to a print mechanism the first and second binary color signals generated by the generation unit. | 03-10-2011 |
| 20110059624 | ELECTRICAL CONNECTOR - An electrical connector includes a housing having an opening portion in an upper surface thereof including a width edge in a short side direction and a side edge in a long side direction; a terminal disposed in the housing; and a suction member detachably attached to the housing. The suction member includes a plate portion for covering the housing and an attachment portion for attaching to the housing at a middle portion of the side edge. The plate portion includes an attachment region between both end portions of the attachment portion in the long side direction and a non-attachment region outside the attachment region extending to a distal end portion of the plate portion in the long side direction. The non-attachment region includes a deformable portion with a free end portion to be deformable. | 03-10-2011 |
| 20110132639 | PRINTED WIRING BOARD AND METHOD FOR PRODUCING THE SAME - A method produces an undercoat-covered smoothed printed wiring board, requiring no step of polishing the surface of the printed wiring board. A method for producing a solder-resist-covered printed wiring board causes no depression in an area between circuit traces. A printed wiring board so produced is also described. The method for producing a printed wiring board includes applying a photo- and heat-curable resin composition onto at least a part of a surface of a printed wiring substrate; placing an optically transparent smoothing member on the resin layer; moving a hard roller on the smoothing member to thin the applied resin layer to a thickness of interest; placing a negative-image mask on the smoothing member; exposing the applied resin layer to light via the negative-image mask; removing the optically transparent smoothing member; removing a light-unexposed portion of the applied resin layer through development; and completely heat-curing the cured light-exposed portion. | 06-09-2011 |
| 20110203118 | BRUSH CUTTER - The conventional brush cutter has many drawbacks, such as the large vibration and noise of the main pipe, because the rotary drive shaft is passed through the main pipe. The brush cutter of the present invention has a main pipe, a flat motor provided on a tip end of the main pipe, a rotary cutter provided on a rotary shaft of the flat motor, and a battery provided on a base end of the main pipe for driving the motor. | 08-25-2011 |
| 20110258295 | INFORMATION PROCESSING TERMINAL AND METHOD THEREOF - An information processing terminal connectable to a WWW (World Wide Web) server via a public network includes a storage unit that stores content data including image information or sound information with identification information of the content data, an acquiring unit that acquires identification information of content data from the WWW server, a retrieving unit that retrieves content data corresponding to the identification information acquired by the acquiring unit from the storage unit, and a presenting unit that presents the content data retrieved by the retrieving unit. | 10-20-2011 |
