Abstract:
The objective is to provide a data transfer control device and electronic equipment that are capable of reducing processing overheads, thus enabling high-speed data transfer within a compact hardware configuration. During IEEE 1394 data transfer, a packet assembly circuit (280) reads a header and data for a packet from header and data areas in a RAM (80) and links them together. The period of time during which a header CRC is created is used to obtain a data pointer. Whether a header or data is being read is determined by tcode, and the header pointer or data pointer incremented accordingly. A header is created while data is being fetched from the data area. Data is fetched to one channel which a packet is being transmitted from another channel within a divided send packet area. A linkage pointer is used to sequentially read a packet from another channel. An ACK code from the transfer destination is written back to the channel that sent the corresponding packet. Packets can be sent in series by rewriting a basic header to sequentially create headers until a number-of-repeats reaches zero.
Abstract:
A transfer controller (or a host controller) issues IN tokens to a plurality of USB devices connected to USB and including first and second USB devices. When data including destination information which specifies the second USB device as a destination has been received in response to an IN token issued to the first USB device, the transfer controller issues an OUT token to the second USB device and transmits the received data from the first USB device to the second USB device. The transfer controller issues an IN token to at least one of the USB devices which has declared itself to be a local area network (LAN) node.
Abstract:
The objective is to provide a data transfer control device and electronic equipment that are capable of reducing processing overheads, thus enabling high-speed data transfer within a compact hardware configuration. In a data transfer control device in accordance with IEEE 1394, a packet shaping circuit (160) shapes each packet that is transferred in from another node into a form that can be used by an upper layer, and a packet division circuit (180) writes the header of the thus-shaped packet into a header area in RAM and the data thereof into a data area. A data pointer that has been passed from the packet division circuit is appended to the header of the packet during packet shaping. Tags are used to divide packets. Information indicating broadcast information, error status information, and whether or not the packet was received during a self-ID period is appended to the trailer of the packet during the packet shaping. The information, such as ACK, that was appended to the rearmost end of the packet in a time series during packet shaping is written to the start of the header of the packet in RAM.
Abstract:
The objective is to provide a data transfer control device and electronic equipment that are capable of reducing processing overheads, thus enabling high-speed data transfer within a compact hardware configuration. In addition to a FIFO, an internal RAM capable of storing packets in a randomly accessible manner is provided between a link core and a CPU in a data transfer control device conforming to the IEEE 1394 standard. The RAM storage area is divided into a header area, a data area, and a CPU work area, and the header and data areas are divided into areas for reception and transmission. Tags are used to write the header of a receive packet to the header area and the data thereof to the data area. The data area is divided into areas for isochronous transfer and asynchronous transfer. Pointers are provided for controlling the size of each area in RAM variably, and the size of each area can be varied dynamically after power is switched on. Each area has a ring buffer structure. The size of area storing the header or data of one packet is fixed.
Abstract:
A press insertion rod is passed through and supported by a press insertion rod supporting portion of a jig body in an advanceable and retractable manner. An inner ring which is to be pressingly inserted into one end portion of a pipe member made of resin is held by a ring holder. The ring holder is coupled idly rotatably and detachably to a tip end portion of the press insertion rod via a holder block.

Also provided are products produced by this method.
Abstract:
A dealing board has a dealing board main body having a box-like structure. The box-like structure includes a top plate, bottom plate, front face plate and rear face plate. The top plate is forwardly slanted relative to the top of a desk on which the main body is mounted and has a number of openings formed therein. The dealing board further has a plurality of panel units arranged in the opening. A receiving device secured to a bent portion of the top end of the front face plate or the rear face plate forms a gap. The dealing board further has a screen plate attached to a top end of the one of the rear face plate or the front face plate which is not bent, and a fixing device is provided on the screen plate so as to be removable by set screws. The dealing board further has a card insertion slot of a reader-writer for reading and writing information on memory cards, a card take-out button placed near the card insertion slot, and a cover covering the card slot and card take-out button. One end side of the cover has an attaching portion for attaching the cover onto the main body, a fulcrum having a hinge portion for opening and closing the cover, and a holding mechanism for holding the cover at its erect position.
Abstract:
A cutting insert has a main body which is provided with an upper surface, a side surface, at least one groove which is formed in the side surface and which extends to the upper surface at one end, and a plurality of split cutting blades which are split by the at least one groove. The upper surface is provided with inclined portions corresponding to the split cutting blades. The distance of respective lower ends of the inclined portions from the corresponding split cutting blades increases toward the centers of the corresponding cutting blades in a plan view. A cutting tool having the cutting insert and a method for cutting a workpiece using the cutting tool are also provided.
Abstract:
An information processing apparatus according to the present invention is configured to project a given region (e.g., region of interest or lesion of interest) in a three-dimensional image (e.g., MRI image or X-ray CT image) onto a plane including a two-dimensional image (e.g., ultrasonic image) of an object, and cause a display unit to display an error range caused by projection (range where a corresponding region of the region of interest in the two-dimensional image may exist, also referred to as a search range) including the projected region in such a manner that the error range is overlaid on top of the two-dimensional image.Therefore, a user is able to efficiently search for the corresponding region in the two-dimensional image which corresponds to the region of interest in the three-dimensional image.
Abstract:
Hair tweeters have a bend section from which a pair of opposing plate-shaped gripping sections extend in the longitudinal direction, and opposing gripping surfaces are respectively formed on the ends of the gripping sections which are located on the side facing the bend section. The hair tweezers do not cause a problem in that, when the hair tweezers are in use, the ends on the side on which the gripping surfaces are formed are displaced relative to each other in the vertical direction, which intersects the longitudinal direction, to make it difficult for the user to grip a targeted unwanted hair. The thickness of a bend portion is equal to or greater than the thickness of the portions of a pair of gripping sections which are not included in the bend section. The pair of gripping sections are respectively provided with thin sections, which have a small thickness, located between the bend section and the ends having the gripping surfaces formed thereon.
