20110309837 | CHUCK MECHANISM OF CHARGE/DISCHARGE TESTING DEVICE FOR FLAT-RECHARGEABLE BATTERIES - The present invention relates to a chuck mechanism of a charge/discharge testing device for flat-rechargeable batteries and has a proposition to provide a chuck mechanism that makes it possible to lighten conventionally needed troublesome works, that is, for example, works of storing and fixing a large number of flat-rechargeable batteries in a container, and that is capable of surely chucking the flat-rechargeable batteries (electrodes). The chuck mechanism includes a first guide couplable with a battery storage retaining a plurality of flat-rechargeable batteries arranged in parallel, and a plurality of chuck units continuously joined with the first guide and resiliently arranged in parallel, wherein the chuck units each have a second guide resiliently positioning each of the chuck units with a predetermined number of corresponding flat-rechargeable batteries in the battery storage. | 12-22-2011 |
20130113494 | CHUCK MECHANISM OF CHARGE-DISCHARGE TEST DEVICE FOR THIN SECONDARY BATTERY - The present invention relates to a chuck mechanism of a charge-discharge test device for a thin secondary battery, and aims to provide a chuck mechanism having excellent action controllability. The chuck mechanism includes: a chuck drive part which is movable in a direction toward a battery container housing a thin secondary battery; and a chuck activation part which is located away from the chuck drive part in the direction toward the battery container and whose movement in the same direction is restricted. In the chuck mechanism, when the chuck unit is moved in the direction toward the battery container, the chuck drive part activates a chuck member of the chuck activation part whose movement in the same direction is restricted. | 05-09-2013 |

20110295144 | HEALTH MANAGING DEVICE - In an abdominal fat measuring device that is a health managing device, vertical and horizontal widths of the abdomen of a subject are measured, and an ellipse defined by such widths is defined as an outer shape ellipse. The abdominal fat measuring device stores in advance an image representing the subcutaneous fat of the abdominal back side as an additional image in association with a proportion of the visceral fat mass and the subcutaneous fat mass. In the abdominal fat measuring device, the corresponding image is extracted from the stored additional images from the measured proportion of the visceral fat mass and the subcutaneous fat mass of the subject, added to the outer shape ellipse, and then a figure representing the measured fat free mass, visceral fat mass, and subcutaneous fat mass is drawn and displayed in the outer shape ellipse. | 12-01-2011 |

20120219289 | OPTICAL TRANSPORT SYSTEM AND OPTICAL NODE - An embodiment of the invention is an optical node configured to transmit/receive a wavelength-division-multiplexed signal. An optical monitoring unit monitors power levels of the wavelength-division-multiplexed signal on a wavelength-by-wavelength basis to acquire wavelength-by-wavelength power level values of the optical signals. A comparison arithmetic unit performs a comparison between each of the acquired wavelength-by-wavelength power level values of the optical signals, and a predetermined upper limit value and a predetermined lower limit value. A target value calculation unit determines target values of power levels at wavelengths whose acquired power level values exceed the upper limit value to be values between a center value and the upper limit value, and determines target values of power levels at wavelengths whose acquired power level values fall below the lower limit value to be values between the center value and the lower limit value. | 08-30-2012 |

20120247440 | EXHAUST GAS RECIRCULATION VALVE - An EGR valve includes an aluminum valve body, an outer metal ring, an inner resin ring, a butterfly valve, and a seal ring. The valve body includes a gas passage therein. The gas passage is part of an EGR passage, through which EGR gas is returned from an exhaust passage to intake passage of an engine. The outer ring has a cylindrical shape, and is fixed and disposed on an inner wall of the gas passage. The inner ring has a cylindrical shape, and is disposed on an inner peripheral wall of the outer ring. The butterfly valve opens or closes an inside of the inner ring, and includes a seal fitting groove at an outer peripheral edge of the butterfly valve. The seal ring is fitted into the groove, and seals a clearance between the butterfly valve and the inner ring when the butterfly valve is closed. | 10-04-2012 |

20120329428 | COMMUNICATION APPARATUS - A communication apparatus in a radio access network relays data transmission to and from a remote network. The communication apparatus includes a monitoring unit to monitor an authentication procedure performed when a mobile station makes a connection of a link to the remote network, as well as when the mobile station disconnects the link to the remote network. The communication apparatus also includes a producing unit to produce information for disconnecting a session of the mobile station based on progress of the authentication procedure monitored by the monitoring unit. For example, the producing unit produces information for disconnecting a session of the mobile station when the monitoring unit has observed deauthentication of the mobile station. | 12-27-2012 |

20120248353 | VALVE APPARATUS - When a valve body is rotated toward a full-close position in a valve-close mode, a control portion controls an electric motor so that the rotating speed of the valve body is lower than that in a valve-open mode. A rotating speed of the valve body around the shaft in the valve-close mode is lower than that in the valve-open mode. Thus, when the seal ring is brought into contact with the inner wall surface, an impact generated therebetween can be moderated. While the valve body is rotated toward the full-close position, a seal ring is gradually elastically deformed. A sliding friction between the seal ring and the inner wall surface can be reduced. | 10-04-2012 |
