Abstract: The convertible folding seat for vehicles with an attachment system for seat belts has two catches or pulls at either one of the upper ends of the front side of the frame. One permits the horizontal movement of the seat assembly in any direction. The second catch or pull governs the seat back fastening system; it keeps the seat back fastening system locked or allows it to be folded back and the other seat rest modules to be moved. For this purpose it is provided with hooks or similar anchoring elements - installed on the sides of each of the pyramidal structures that are inside the seat frame - in which the transverse lugs are anchored that are provided on the U-section on the lower extension which is installed on the semi-pyramid when placing the seat back in the vertical position. When we pull the catch a cable or the like is tightened, pulling the spring that in turn brings about a raising movement of the hook to release the lug, which remained locked in the home position of the hook. When released, the seat back is pushed manually and it folds back forming a bed. The three anchor points of the seat belts are located on the structure forming the seat in such a way that the seat belts are operational no matter what the horizontal position of the seat. All the operations may be manual or automatic.

Abstract: When an application is activated, a mobile station 10 detects external devices 20, 30, 40 as candidates for a BLUETOOTH connection out of external devices existing in the surrounding area, and presents a list of the devices to a user. When the user selects from the list an external device 20 with which a connection is to be attempted to make, a link is established by a connection procedure according to a security level described in an ADF of the application. Namely, when "high" is described as the security level, an authentication process and an encryption process requiring input of a PIN are executed prior to the establishment of the link. On the other hand, when "low" is described as the security level, a link is established without executing these processes.

Abstract: In each of a plurality of submarine observation apparatus (1 to n), a branching unit (63) branches fixed-wavelength light (λ1) from an incoming wavelength-multiplexed light signal. An observation signal modulating unit (64) modulates the intensity of the branched fixed-wavelength light (λ1) with observation information multiplexed by an observation signal multiplex unit (61). A combining unit (65) combines light signals (λ2) to (λn) passing through the branching unit (63) and the fixed-wavelength light (λ1a) modulated by the observation signal modulating unit (64) into a composite light signal, and outputs it to an optical fiber (12a). Therefore, in each of the plurality of submarine observation apparatus (1 to n), there is no necessity for providing a wavelength-division-multiplexing-transmission optical transmitter which requires high wavelength stability.

Abstract: Threshold matrixes (TM) for a C-separation and an M-separation of main colors are used to convert a continuous-tone image subjected to color separation into dot patterns (132a, 132b) for the C-separation and the M-separation. The dot patterns (132a, 132b) are binary images in which no screen ruling or screen angle is defined. Then, a color image (133) is reproduced by overlaying the dot patterns (132a, 132b) for the C-separation and the M-separation. When the dot patterns (132a, 132b) for the C-separation and the M-separation are converted into patterns in the frequency domain, main frequency components (134pa, 134pb) obtained by the conversion have a substantially-constant predetermined pattern frequency (r) for all angles, and the intensity distribution of the main frequency components (134pa, 134pb) is varied based on the C-separation and the M-separation.

Abstract: In the system 10, the interval of an intermittent reception operation is further increased, so that a period of continuous standby time of a mobile station 15 increases and the power consumption of the mobile station 15 decreases. In operation, the mobile station 15 has a power source of its reception portion turned on in timed relationship with paging channels contained in a sending signal having been issued from a telephone exchange 12 to the mobile station 15 through a base station 14, and has the reception portion de-energized in the remaining period of time, so that the intermittent standby reception operation is performed. The exchange 12 sends a paging message in both an intermittent superframe reception group and a paging channel group, for which groups the mobile station 15 is waiting. The unit 15 receives broadcast information, specifies the intermittent superframe reception group on the basis of the contents of intermittent standby information contained in the broadcast information, and performs its intermittent standby reception operation in the reception group having been thus specified.
