Abstract: A porous hollow fiber membrane having a particle cutoff within the
range of 1 to 10 µm and a pure water permeate flow equal to or higher than
30,000 L/m 2 /hr/100 kPa. This porous hollow fiber membrane can be prepared by
a method including, while a spinning dope containing a base polymer as a
material for forming the porous hollow fiber membrane, an additive used for
facilitating a phase separation of the spinning dope, a solvent compatible with
both the base polymer and the additive and a mass of microparticles insoluble to
the compatible solvent and uniformly dispersed in a liquid medium and having
an average particle size within the range of 1 to 20 µm, and a coagulating liquid
for forming the hollow fiber membrane is used, a step of forming the hollow
fiber membrane according to a dry-wet spinning method or a wet spinning
method, and a step of extracting and removing the microparticles by immersing
the hollow fiber membrane, which has been spun, into an extracting solution
effective to dissolve the microparticles, but ineffective to dissolve the base
polymer.

Abstract: A cuvette stand 6 has a side wall 6e continuously connecting with an
insertion portion 6a of a storing portion 7. When a cuvette 1 is taken out, a
plate portion 2a of the top of the cuvette contacts with the side wall 6e of the
cuvette stand 6 so as to guide the cuvette 1 to an exit (the insertion portion
6a) even if the cuvette 1 is shifted from the center of the insertion portion 6a.
Therefore, the cuvette 1 can be taken out without catching somewhere.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a spreading code
synchronization method and others for implementing fast
cell search during entry of a mobile station into a
soft handover mode in an intercell asynchronous system.
In the spreading code synchronization method according
to the present, invention, a correlation is first
detected between a received signal and a common short
code, and a received timing of a scrambling code mask
of a handover destination cell is detected based
thereon. At this time, in order to avoid reception of
a signal transmitted from a connecting cell, a received
timing of a mask symbol from the connecting cell is
excepted from a search range for the received timing of
the scrambling code mask of the handover destination
cell. The spreading code synchronization method
further includes steps of detecting for each of
scrambling code candidates a correlation between the
received signal and a code of a product of a scrambling
code and a common short code at the received timing of
the scrambling code mask of the handover destination
cell detected, and identifying the scrambling code of
the signal transmitted from the handover destination
cell, from magnitudes of correlation values.

Abstract: A pointer electronic timepiece (1) has a plurality of step motors, a
plurality of pointers (11 to 18), and a plurality of external operation members
of a winding crown (5) and buttons (6, 7). The pointer to be adjusted is
selected from the plurality of pointers (15 to 18) by operating one of the
buttons (6) while drawing out the winding crown (5) to a second stage and
the other button (7) is operated to adjust the position of the selected pointer.
Since the position of the pointers (15 to 18) driven by three step motors can
be adjusted by the two buttons (6, 7), the number of the external operation
member is not necessary to be increased even when the pointers (15 to 18),
i.e. the step motors, are increased, so that the size and thickness of a
movement-holder and cost thereof can be reduced and operability during
adjustment can be improved.

Abstract: An actuator position control system for brush-type DC
motors. The system includes a sensing inductor, amplifier, central
control unit (microprocessor), and motor driver. The system
utilizes the differential signal di/dt to indicate the falling
edges of commutation spikes in the motor current profile. An
inductor is selected as the signal sensor, because voltage drops
across the inductor are directly proportional to di/dt. The
voltage drop, L(di/dt), across the inductive sensor is input to the
amplifier, amplified, and then sent to the microprocessor. The
microprocessor reads the output pulses from the amplifier and
compares the pulse count to an input command signal. The
microprocessor then sends shaft position control information to the
motor driver.
