A rebar structure includes a plurality of column longitudinal bars to be connected to a beam. The yield point or the 0.2% proof stress of at least a portion the column longitudinal bars is larger than the yield point or the 0.2% proof stress of a normal reinforcing bar defined by JIS G 3112.

Rebar structure and reinforced concrete member

A main reinforcing bar has a strength transition portion between a normal strength portion and a high strength portion. The high strength portion is arranged in a joint section. The boundary between the normal strength portion and the strength transition portion is configured as a deigned point. The designed point is designed such that, at the time of an earthquake, the main reinforcing bar yields at the designed point before the main reinforcing bar yields at the root of the beam at of the joint section. The boundary between the high strength portion and the strength transition portion is located in the joint section, and the root of the beam is located at the strength transition portion. The strength of the strength transition portion at the root of the beam is equal to or higher than the required strength.

Reinforced concrete structure

An image processing apparatus includes an image acquiring unit, a distance acquiring unit, a painterly transformation processor, a thickness information acquiring unit, and a data generating unit. The distance acquiring unit acquires distance information for each of at least one object image included in an acquired image. The painterly transformation processor transforms each of the object image, included in the acquired image, into a painterly image. The thickness information acquiring unit acquires thickness information corresponding to the distance for each of the object image. The data generating unit generates data in which the painterly image and the thickness information are associated with each other.

Image processing apparatus, method and printer for generating three-dimensional painterly image

Disclosed is a nail print apparatus including: a photographing section which photographs a plurality of fingers and a nail section of each finger to obtain a finger image; a finger type detecting section which detects a type of each finger from the finger image; a first storage controlling section which stores the type of finger detected by the finger type detecting section corresponded with the nail image; a design specifying section which receives specification of a design image to be printed; a second storage controlling section which stores the design image specified on the design specifying section; a combined nail image generating section which combines the design image with the nail image for each type of finger to generate a combined nail image; and a print controlling section which controls printing of the combined nail image on the nail chip sheet.

Nail print apparatus and print controlling method

A hand illuminating apparatus is described. According to one implementation of the present invention, the hand illuminating apparatus includes a hand which is driven to rotate by a hand spindle. A light source is provided in a position below the hand spindle. A first optical guiding section is provided to guide light from the light source from a lower edge to an upper edge of the hand spindle. A second optical guiding section, in which a plurality of optical waveguides are formed on the hand, is provided to guide light which exits from the first optical guiding section from a base to a tip of the hand.

Hand illuminating apparatus

A radio-wave receiver is provided with a hollow-cylindrical case, a plate-like module member accommodated within the cylindrical case, a transparent member closing one opening end of the cylindrical case, a cover closing the other opening end of the cylindrical case, and an antenna structure disposed on the side position of the plate-like module member. The antenna structure is provided with a core including a plurality of plate-like magnetic members layered on each other in a direction perpendicular to the thickness direction of the plate-like module member, a coil wound around a central straight part of the core, and bent end portions extending from both ends of the core and bent to conform to the inner periphery of the cylindrical case.

Antenna device and radio-wave receiver with such antenna device

A collected data providing apparatus and a portable data collecting terminal capable of collecting valuable effective data from object of data collection. When a server receives a data-collection request from a data collection requester's terminal, the server examines whether or not there is a data collector with a terminal in the vicinity of a place of data collection included in the request. If there is, the server sends a data collection request to the portable terminal, which receives the request, collects data on the place at the request, and then sends the server the collected data. The server then delivers this collected data to the data collection requester's terminal (FIG.).

Collected data providing apparatus and portable terminal for data collection

When lack of a part data on a time code included in a received standard radio wave is detected, the lack is filled up with a corresponding data part of another time code. The time of a radio-wave timepiece is corrected in accordance with the time code whose lack has been filled up.

Radio-wave timepieces and time information receivers

The present invention relates to a handheld electronic apparatus, which allows the user to photograph an object while watching an image of the object H on it display unit. A first casehaving the display unitand a second casehaving a key input sectionare connected in an openable and closable manner by means of a connecting shaft, which has a built-in image pick-up unit. When the first caseand the second caseare kept in an open state, the display uniton the first case and the key input sectionface in the same direction, and the image pick-up unitfaces in the opposite direction to a display screen of the display unit and the key input section. The user can photograph the object H, while reviewing the image of the object H displayed on the display unit

Handheld electronic apparatus

A wrist-worn apparatus capable of sensing pulsation of blood in the blood tubes of a user's wrist with high accuracy. The apparatus comprises a body of the apparatus, a band to be used to wear the body of the apparatus on the user's wrist, and a fluid-containing pulsation-sensing fluid chamber provided on the user's wrist side of the case. A part of an outer wall that defines the fluid chamber comprises an elastically deformable member that is elastically deformed depending on pulsation of blood transmitted from the band to thereby change the fluid pressure within the fluid chamber. A deformation preventing member is bonded by vulcanization to a part of a side of the deformable member that will come into contact with the user's wrist for preventing the part of the deformable member from being elastically deformed.

Wrist-worn high-accuracy pulsation measuring apparatus

A watch of the communications apparatus is worn on a user's wrist by bands. A support member pivoted on the band is then turned so as to extend in the transverse direction of the bands. A speaker unit is provided on the support member so as to face in a transverse direction of the band while a microphone unit is disposed on the support member so as to face in a direction perpendicular to a surface of the band. When a user communicates with the other party, the speaker unit provided on the support member is directed toward the user's ear. This causes the microphone unit provided on the support member to be directed easily toward the user's mouth. Alternatively a hinged lid is provided the lid carrying a key-in unit or a display and a speaker unit.

Wrist-worn communications apparatus

An electronic book device receives from an external delivery source book data representing the contents of a book, a reciter images, for example, of famous persons who read aloud the contents of the book based on the received book data, and the corresponding reciter voice data, and then displays the received book data and reciter images on the display. A user views the received book data and reciter images displayed on the display and causes the reciter images to read the book data aloud in voices represented by the reciter voice data.
