Title: Sound-absorbing panel structure with air space in foam-filled honeycomb material layer
Inventor: TAKE KOICHI
IPC: B32B3/12
Filed: 2002-06-21
Abstract: <P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a sandwich panel structure constructed chiefly of a honeycomb structure with the ability to absorb and/or reflect sound.  <P>SOLUTION: A lightweight, strong honeycomb material is used for a sound-absorbing core layer and the sharp cells of the honeycomb material are used like tools for cutting to manufacture phenol foam of low strength and brittle quality as it is packed and wrapped in the honeycomb material cells. An air space layer is formed by packing phenol foam that is thinner than the honeycomb material. A sound absorbing means is a composite layer consisting of the honeycomb material cells, the air space layer formed in the cells, and a phenol foam core layer packed into the honeycomb material cells whose particle structure has a singular sound absorption characteristic. Three layers, i.e., a layer of sound absorber, a sound-absorbing core layer, and a sound reflector, are integrally bonded together to enhance the ability to absorb sound.  <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2004,JPO

Filed: 2002-07-30
Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for obtaining a body fluid sample through a minimally invasive skin without actual pain by piercing an area especially having less sensitivity of the skin. SOLUTION: A body sample such as blood or an interstitial fluid is obtained from a body by suitably incising a part of the user's skin in the area except a fingertip to form an incised part. After a needle 42 is removed from the incised part, force is applied to press down the skin by a way for forming a ring of a pressed-down body tissue in relation to the surrounding of the incised part, the incised part is swelled to open a side part of the incised part, so that the body fluid is pressed out through an opening of the incised part. A stimulator member 64 is installed to an end part of a lancet carrying a housing 40 to apply the force. The stimulator member 64 is movable relatively to the housing 40, and is heated or vibrated to promote movement of the body fluid.

Each block and corresponding bus-blocks of pixel data is subjected to a discrete cosine transform (DCT) operation (10, 12). Varying levels of sub-blocks (QC8, QC4, QC2) of resulting corresponding transform coefficients are selected for construction into a composite transform coefficient block (QC) corresponding to each input block of pixel data. The selection of transform coefficient block size for the composite block is determined by a comparison (20, 26, 32) process of transform block and sub-block coding efficiency. The composite block is variable length coded (56) to further reduce bit count in the compressed data.
