Filed: 2005-09-26
Abstract: An electronic device (2) such as a mobile telephone capable of operating multiple functions simultaneously, and allowing operation of another function, on which an operational restriction has been put, with no decline in security features, even while operating a first function. A control part (6) allows the other function to be selected while operating the first function, and releases the operational restriction after authenticating the user (for example, using a fingerprint sensor (14)) in the case where the operational restriction has been set for the other function. Thus, operability of the electronic device is improved whilst maintaining security.

Abstract: A printed circuit board and a method for manufacturing the same that facilitates the formation of an upper surface pattern and prevents a lower surface metal foil from being damaged when forming a blind via hole with a laser is provided. A lower surface and an upper surface of an insulative substrate (5) are respectively coated with a lower surface metal foil (220) and an upper surface metal foil (210), the thickness of which is less than that of the lower surface metal foil (220). Next, an opening (213) is formed in the upper surface metal foil at a location corresponding to a blind via hole formation portion (35) of the insulative substrate. A blind via hole (3), the bottom of which is the lower surface metal foil, is formed by emitting a laser (8) against the blind via hole formation portion (35) through the opening (213). Then, a metal plating film (23) is applied to the wall of the blind via hole (3), and an upper surface pattern (21) and a lower surface pattern (22) are formed through etching.

Abstract: An image forming apparatus comprises a paper feed tray, which is attached to the apparatus body so as to be freely opened and closed with respect to the apparatus body, and a paper pressing plate disposed inside the apparatus body. The paper feed tray has a pair of protrusions on the inner surfaces of the side walls thereof. The paper pressing plate has a pair of notches formed by partially cutting the side portions of the plate so that, when the paper feed tray is in the closed position, the protrusions of the paper feed tray are received in the notches and the side faces of the paper pressing plate where the notches are formed face the protrusions in a manner that are almost in contact with the protrusions. When a force acts on the paper feed tray in the closed position to bend inward the side walls of the paper feed tray, the protrusions are pressed against the portions of the paper pressing plate where the notches are formed so as to stop the inward bending of the side walls. Accordingly, even when a user grasps the paper feed tray to lift the apparatus, the paper feed tray can be prevented from becoming detached from the apparatus body.

Abstract: A short wave omnidirectional antenna for the 26 Megahertz band provides line-of-sight broadcasting at comparatively low power to serve local communities while suppressing sky wave propagation. Sky wave suppression is achieved by a critically configured reflector above the radiator or by a co-located second active or parasitic radiator spaced to achieve sufficient beam tilt to create a null at critical angles, generally from the horizon to thirty degrees above. This arrangement allows local broadcasts to be originated at numerous sites despite the narrow extent of the band (330 kHz) and the narrow (10 kHz) channel width. Among other possible applications, the antenna supports transmission using the Digital Radio Mondiale® (DRM®) system for COFDM. COFDM technology can suppress ghosting and most noise, while low emission angle of the antenna and low intended transmitter power largely prevent interference between broadcasts at moderate distances.

Abstract: A titanium alloy subjected to thermal treatment followed by quenching. The thermal treatment raises the temperature of the alloy to a temperature above the alloy's recrystallization temperature and below the alloy's beta-transus temperature to cause a phase shift within the alloy. After the thermal treatment has been applied for a predetermined time, the alloy is rapidly quenched, preserving the phase shift induced by the thermal treatment. By the present method, the microstructure of the titanium alloy is changed from a fine grained alpha-beta phase to a microstructure substantially comprised of an equiaxed alpha phase and an acicular or plate-like alpha phase. The resulting prostheses may have a microstructure including between 25% and 75% percent acicular alpha phase, for example.
