A RFID tag for accommodation in a narrow clearance in an electronic device and providing a predetermined communication distance even if a displacement occurs between first and second antennas. First antenna is mounted through first spacer to metal case surface and second antenna mounted to resin container surface facing the first antenna. The dielectric resin container functions as a second spacer. Only the first spacer and first antenna are accommodated in the narrow clearance between metal case and resin container, the tag can be mounted even in an electronic device with a small redundant space and small size. First antenna is shorter than second antenna so that a required communication distance may be obtained even if their relative position is changed.

A selectable one-way clutch to prevent an unintentional engagement, and a vehicle having the selectable one-way clutch are provided. The selectable one-way clutch comprises a fixed plate, a rotary plate opposed to the fixed plate, and a selector plate interposed between the fixed plate and the rotary plate. A strut is held on the fixed plate in a pivotal manner to be selectively engaged with the rotary plate. The selector plate is rotated between an engagement position at which the strut is allowed to project toward the rotary plate to be engaged therewith, and a disengagement position at which the strut is pushed into the fixed plate to be disengaged from the rotary plate. A groove inlet is formed on the inner face to introduce oil to a clearance between the fixed plate and the selector plate.

An apparatus for achieving the return of a chain to a rear derailleur tension pulley more easily by means of pedaling action when the chain falls off from the tension pulley is provided. The rear derailleur is equipped with a base component, a link mechanism, a movable component, Outer Plate 20, Inner Plate 21, Guide Pulley 22, Tension Pulley 23, and Chain Return Section 32. The base component is a component which is mounted on the frame. The link mechanism is a mechanism of which one end is mounted on the base component. The movable component is a component which is mounted on the other end of the link mechanism, and which can be relatively displaced from the base component. The outer plate is a component which is mounted on the movable component so as to undulate like a see-saw. The inner plate is a component which is installed so as to face the outer plate. The guide pulley is a pulley which is mounted onto a portion on one edge of the plates, between the plates, so as to freely rotate and move in the axial direction, and which can be engaged with the chain. The tension pulley is a pulley which can be engaged with the chain, and is mounted onto a portion on the other edge of the plates, between the plates, so as to freely rotate. The chain return section is installed at a position on the inner plate which is proximal to the position at which the tension pulley is mounted, in a manner so that the clearance from the chain at this position is narrower as compared to the clearance at other positions.

One purpose of this invention is to provide radiation tomography apparatus with easier maintenance. A specific approach for this purpose is as follows. That is, a detector ring in the radiation tomography apparatus includes two or more rings. Moreover, a ring moves as to approach a next ring, whereby both the rings are connected. If radiation tomography is conducted while a clearance is provided between the rings, detection sensitivity of the detector ring decreases due to the clearance. On the other hand, according to this invention, the ring moves as to approach the next ring, which results in a narrower clearance. Accordingly, radiation that is not observed may be reduced as much as possible.

A proximity sensor assembly with a sensing element having a substrate and an antenna pattern disposed on one or more planar surfaces of the substrate is disclosed.

(Problem) A pair of finger bodies should be able to easily sandwich a workpiece without being interfered by other adjacent workpieces, and should be able to easily and rapidly change a standby open clearance depending on an external diameter of multiple workpieces in various sizes.

(Means for Solving the Problem) A pair of hand pistons connected by a connection rod is inserted in a hand cylinder, and openings are formed in the hand cylinder. A driving rack gear is formed on the connection rod, and engages with a driving pinion gear arranged on a penetrating axis rotatably arranged in the hand cylinder to penetrate the hand cylinder. The robot hand for an industrial robot has a rack and pinion mechanism enabling a pair of finger bodies to slide in an axial direction of the hand cylinder with a driven pinion gear on the external periphery of the lower end of the penetrating axis engaging with driven rack gears of the pair of finger bodies, a stopper mechanism controlling a position at which one of the finger bodies stops, and a sensor mechanism having multiple sensors arranged facing an inner portion of a widthwise moving direction of the finger bodies to be able to detect the aforementioned one of the foreign bodies.

A container holder includes a holder body, a cover, and a swing arm. The cover has a front end, a rear end, a first engager disposed adjacent to the rear end. The swing arm has a sliding groove extending in a direction crossing the up/down directions of the holder body, holds the first engager of the cover slidably and swingably with the sliding groove, and is held swingably to the holder body at one of the opposite ends. When the swing arm swings the cover from a close position to an open position, the swing arm lets the cover pass firstly a semi-open position, at which the sliding groove guides the cover so as to decline the rear end of the cover, and then lets the cover swing to the open position along with the swinging swing arm.

The invention provides a method of mounting an electronic component where an electronic component can be reliably electrically-connected to a substrate. A substrate defines a through-hole that extends through the substrate, from connection electrodes formed on the lower surface of the substrate, to the upper surface of the substrate. A low melting point metal is connected to the connection electrodes and fills the through-hole. A bump and the low melting point metal are alloyed and bonded by heating the low melting point metal while pressing the bump formed on an electrode pad of an electronic component, with respect to a front end of the low melting point metal. The active surface of the electronic component is sealed by the upper surface of the substrate.

When seen from the side view of the feeding path, guide rollers 57 and 58 are provided near the feed roller 53 and are driven to rotate in contact with paper. A movable member, provided near the feed roller 53, pivots around a pivot axis 63a so that the movable member moves backward and forward to the feeding path. Accordingly, a clearance between the feed roller 53 and the hopper 51 is narrowed.
