Abstract: A user of a station or the like acquires a right to
use a box of rental box installed in the station or the
like, and key information to open the box is recorded in
a key information recording medium. 
     The purchased goods are stored in the box which the user
has a right to use. The user sets the key information
recording medium in the rental box when he/she arrives at
a station. The box open/close controlling means extracts
the key information of the box from the box user
information recording means, and checks it with the key
information read out from the key information recording
medium and judges whether the box is opened or not. In
this situation, the box status that the box status
monitoring means detected is referred to, if required. 
In addition, information necessary for the users, such as
presence of the goods in the box, a result of the
checking of the key information, or the like is displayed
in the display means. When the box open/close
controlling means gives approval, the box opens, and the
user can receive goods.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an optical fiber device (1)
having a structure for effectively restraining the splice
loss from increasing between two kinds of optical fibers
having respective mode field diameters different from each
other. The optical fiber device (1) comprises first (10) and second (20)
optical fibers fusion-spliced to each other, which are partly
heat-treated such that both of their respective ratios of
change in mode field diameter in the longitudinal direction
become a predetermined value or less after fusion-splicing.
When the ratios of change in mode field diameter in the vicinity
of the fused point are appropriately controlled as such,
the increase in splice loss at the fused point between the
first (10) and second (20) optical fibers is effectively suppressed.

Abstract: A system for tracing routes of conductors has a
transmitter (10) for applying an alternating signal (11)

coupling (17), the alternating signal has phase-locked
first and second components with frequencies F 1  and F 2 
respectively, related by N × F 1  = M × F 2 , where N and M
are non-adjacent integers greater than 1, one of which is
odd and one of which is even, having no common factors.

IPC: A61B6/04

Abstract: A ligament loading device ( 50 ) is used in conjunction with an MRI apparatus to image
damaged ligaments in the knee. The leg of a patient is strapped into a thigh harness ( 70 )
and a lower leg harness ( 74 ) with the knee lying over a point ( 72 ) in the imaging region of
the imager. The thigh harness ( 70 ) is fixed, but the lower leg harness ( 74 ) rotates about a
central pivot point ( 72 ) to select an angle for the leg. Pressure devices ( 84a, 84b ) such as
sacs or bellows apply pressure to the thigh in one direction transverse to the thigh. Pressure
devices ( 100a, 100b ) apply pressure to the lower leg in an opposing direction transverse to
the lower leg in order to move the bones of the knee apart to facilitate imaging of the
ligaments. It is also possible to inspect and measure the movement of the bones using the
device in conjunction with an MRI apparatus. A switch ( 108 ) selects between two pressure
applying modes, both of which move the bones of the knee apart, but in opposite directions.
Pressure is applied with a manual bulb ( 103 ) so that a diagnostician can physically feel the
amount of pressure that is being applied to the patient's knee.
