Abstract: An MMS publishing system comprises a management tool (28), an
authoring tool (22) , a storage facility (27), a message router (25), and a
rendering server (26). The management tool (28) authenticates a first
user by using a telephone number of the first user as a user ID. The
authoring tool (22) allows the first user to associate rich media content
with his telephone number. The content is then stored in the storage
facility (27) in association with his telephone number. Subsequently, the
message router (25) intercepts an MMS message (21) sent from a mobile
device over a wireless network when the MMS message (21) includes a
predetermined indicator and indicates the telephone number of the first
user as a destination. The rendering server (26) then accesses the
stored content associated with the telephone number and sends the
content to the mobile device, for output to a user of the mobile device.

Abstract: The invention provide a cost effective way of determining the status of a light
emitting device, such as a light emitting device in a non-emitting display device. The
apparatus includes a plurality of light emitting devices arranged in a predefined
configuration, a voltage supply coupled to the light emitting devices for making a
current flow through the light emitting devices, and electrically conductive devices
positioned a predetermined distance away from the light emitting devices, wherein each
of the electrically conductive devices generates a voltage in response to current flowing
through one of the light emitting devices. An AND gate coupled to the electrically
conductive devices receives the voltage from each of the electrically conductive devices
through an input and generates an output. A status determining device coupled to the
output of the AND gate determines the status of the light emitting devices based on this
output.

Abstract: When temperature control of the ground is performed
by a heat transfer medium supply pipe (1) buried in the
ground, the control of the ground temperature is enabled
with high accuracy by performing prediction of soil
temperature including an estimation of a time lag of heat
conduction and a weather change. In a vegetation ground
temperature control method for controlling the
temperature of the vegetation ground by laying a pipe (1)
throughout the vegetation ground and supplying a heat
transfer medium in the pipe (1), future weather conditions
are estimated on the basis of weather data, and when the
future weather conditions are estimated, with respect to
at least an outside air temperature, an outside air
temperature change curved line of past 24 hours corrected
to be continuous with a present temperature is estimated,
a temperature of a ground surface layer area is predicted
by a heat conduction analysis with these future weather
conditions as boundary conditions, and supply of the heat
transfer medium supplied to the pipe (1) is controlled to
make an underground temperature of the ground surface
layer area a target soil temperature.

Abstract: A test structure (10) is provided for allowing a parametric test system, for example
towards the end of a production line at a foundry, to measure the junction leakage of a
semiconductor device such as an integrated circuit. The structure is formed as part of
the device and comprises a MOSFET (3) whose source and drain are provided with
connections (5 and 7) which are accessible to the tester for biasing the device and
measuring the drain current. A capacitor (1) is connected between the gate of the
MOSFET (3) and another connection (4) allowing the tester to supply various voltages
to the connection (4). A junction diode (2) is connected between the gate of the
MOSFET (3) and the body terminal and connection (6). During testing, the parametric
tester supplies a voltage to the connection (4) to allow the capacitor 1 to be charged via
the forward-biased diode (2). The connection (4) is then connected to another voltage
such that the diode (2) becomes reverse-biased and its leakage current discharges the
capacitor (1) so that the voltage on the gate of the MOSFET (3) falls. The drain current
thus falls and the junction leakage through the diode (2) can be determined from the rate
of change of the drain current and knowledge of the transfer characteristic of the
MOSFET (3) and the capacitance of the capacitor (1).

Abstract: Disclosed is a friction stir welding technique which
avoids occurrence of a dent, in a joining region, extending to
a level beneath the joined surfaces. At end portions of the
frame members (50, 60) to be joined, at the joining region, thickened
parts which project toward the rotary body joining tool (70) are
provided. Two adjoining thickened parts, of adjacent members
to be joined, can form a trapezoid shape. The rotary body
joining tool has a small-diameter tip portion and a larger
diameter portion. The rotary body joining tool is inserted in
the thickened parts. In a state where the rotary body joining
tool has been inserted small-diameter tip end first, to a
level where the larger diameter portion of the rotary body
joining tool overlaps the thickened part but does not extend
below the upper surface of the non-thickened surfaces of the
members joined, the rotary body is rotated and moved along the
joining region. Even when a gap exists between two thickened
parts, a desirable joining can be carried out. After the
joining, the remaining parts of the thickened parts can be
machined so as to form a smooth surface.
