Abstract: The invention relates to a rim (5) for a bicycle wheel comprising a body (20) with a substantially annular extension having a radially outer portion (22) shaped for coupling with a tyre. Such a radially outer portion (22) comprises a hole (39) for an inflation valve. The radially outer portion (22) further comprises, at the hole (39) and/or in an area proximal to the hole (39), at least one cross section having a different shape to that at an area distal from said hole, so as to form at least one second surface discontinuity (35) along the annular extension of said radially outer portion (22). Such a second discontinuity (35) makes it easier to assemble to wheel and allows an optimal coupling to be made between rim (5), inflation valve and tyre, in the case of a tubeless wheel, and between rim (5), air chamber and tyre, in the case of a wheel with an air chamber.

Abstract: An object of the present invention is to detect whether or not a retainer is correctly assembled. 
     A retainer 30 is formed with a wire holding portion 43 displaceable between a holding position for holding wires 25 in such a manner as to prevent movements of the wires 25 and a standby position for permitting the movements of the wires 25. Unless the retainer 30 is correctly assembled, the wire holding portion 43 cannot be displaced to the holding position due to the restricting action of a restricting portion 15. However, if the retainer 30 is correctly assembled, the wire holding portion 43 can be displaced to the holding position. The assembled state of the retainer 30 can be detected based on whether or not a displacement of the wire holding portion 43 to the holding position is possible.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for controlling access to the data stored on a smart card for use in mobile devices. A user initializes the smart card memory by saving an authentication credential in memory. Subsequently, when various applications executed on the mobile device seek to retrieve the data stored in the smart card memory, the user must submit to an authentication process before access to the data stored in the smart card memory is granted. Embodiments utilize biometric traits and biometric templates stored in memory as authentication credentials. Biometric sensors are provided with the smart card so that a candidate biometric trait can be generated and compared with a biometric template stored in memory. If the biometric trait matches the stored biometric template, then access to the data stored in the smart card is granted.

Abstract: A method of acquiring status information of I/O units connected to a numerical controller capable of transmitting status information indicative of particulars of an abnormality occurred in any of the I/O units with less influence on an amount of transmittable information of input/output data. When an abnormality has occurred in the I/O unit, the I/O unit transmits an output signal with a status abnormality notifying bit set to a programmable controller (PC) in the numerical controller. The PC stores information indicative of I/O units in which the status abnormality has occurred as status-abnormality acquiring I/O unit information, in a storage device of the PC. The PC requests the status information to the I/O unit in which the abnormality has occurred according to the status-abnormality acquiring I/O unit information. In response to the request, the I/O unit transmits the status information to the PC.
