Abstract: In purge processing, ink ejected from a head (2) weeps from
a cap unit (22) due to weight of the ink during the movement of a
maintenance unit (12) to a retraction position. Then, the ink is
absorbed into a primary recovery portion (51) mounted on a movable
body (13). When the maintenance unit (12) reaches the retraction
position, the primary recovery portion (51) comes into contact with
an ink absorber (52a-52d) of the secondary recovery portion (52) so that the
ink migrates from the primary recovery portion (51) to the secondary
recovery portion (52) due to a capillary phenomenon. Also, when
the maintenance unit (12) moves to a maintenance position, the primary
recovery portion (51) comes into contact with an ink absorber (52a-52d)
of the secondary recovery portion (52) so that the ink migrates from
the primary recovery portion to the secondary recovery portion
due to a capillary phenomenon.

Abstract: A multiplexer 106 conducts time division multiplexing on various data trains input from a digital broadcast reception tuner 103 and various interfaces 104 and 105 while adding packet arrival time correction information. A demultiplexer 109 demultiplexes time division multiplexed data multiplexed by the multiplexer 106, corrects packet arrival time on the basis of the packet arrival time correction information. A PCR correction section 110 corrects a system clock on the basis of the packet arrival time correction information added by the multiplexer 106. As a result, it becomes possible to transfer an MPEG2 stream and other data in concurrent while maintaining program synchronization.

Abstract: A method for controlling data transmission rate in order to save waste of resources due to Non-Line Of Sight (NLOS) region when a mobile terminal passes through the NLOS region in an interactive satellite communication system is disclosed. The method includes the steps of setting at least one threshold; at a Network Control Center (NCC) adjusting allocated resources based on the Constant Resources Allocation (CRA) after detecting whether Satellite Access Control is lost or not; compensating transmission delay by reallocating if the mobile terminal returns from the NLOS region within a first threshold duration, wherein the mobile terminal maintains the fine sync state during the first threshold duration; and deallocating all resources allocated based on the CRA if the mobile terminal does not return from the NLOS region within the first threshold duration.

Abstract: In a moving picture encoding apparatus 10, as an embodiment of the present invention, a predicted image generator 16 generates a predicted image with respect to a target image, using a reference image stored in a frame memory 20. A difference image generator 18 performs a difference operation between the target image and the predicted image to generate a difference image. An encoder 22 encodes the difference image to generate an encoded difference signal. A decoder 28 decodes the encoded difference signal to generate a decoded difference image. A reproduced image generator 30 performs a summation of the decoded difference image and the predicted image to generate a reproduced image. An image updater 32 performs a weighted summation of a first image which is one of the reproduced image and the reference image, and a second image which is the other of the reproduced image and the reference image, to generate an updated image. The updated image is stored into the frame memory 20 to be used as a reference image in encoding of another target image.

Abstract: Pictures (video frames) of a road intersection are taken and analysed by breaking them up into blocks, to track movements of vehicles. Relative movement between vehicles is detected as an observation amount by an observation amount detecting section (26), and successive observation amounts are stored as an observation series into a storage section (27). Similarity of the observation series to a predetermined collision observation series is calculated by a classification section (28). A determination section (29) determines that two vehicles have collided if, in a case where the similarity is larger than a predetermined value, at least one of the vehicles concerned is at rest in a stoppage prohibition area set in a storage section (30) whilst an unrelated vehicle is moving. A vehicle breakdown is determined if collision determination conditions except for the similarity are met. By using not only a first scalar obtained by quantizing a relative velocity vector between vehicles but also a second scalar obtained by quantizing a relative position vector between vehicles as the observation amount, their relative movement can be classified more precisely. Vehicles are tracked in units of blocks by a mobile unit tracking section (25) to discriminate overlapping vehicles in pictures.

Abstract: It is an object of the present invention to release and isolate nucleic acid from a biological sample readily and in a short time. The present invention relates to a technique for isolating nucleic acid by which a biological sample including cells is caused to pass through a solid substance carrier to isolate the cells, a mixture of the cells and a cell lysis reagent is caused to pass through the solid substance carrier to disrupt the cells and release nucleic acid therein, and a mixture of the released nucleic acid and a nucleic acid binding reagent is caused to pass through the solid substance carrier to bind the nucleic acid to the solid substance carrier. Examples of an instrument comprising such solid substance carrier include an instrument comprising a syringe having a solid substance carrier fixed therein. The instrument is capable of moving a solution from one space to another space separated by the solid substance carrier, using pressurization and depressurization via the syringe, thereby causing the solution to pass through the solid substance carrier. Preferably, the solid substance carrier is a solid substance having a multitude of channels therein or a mesh-like solid substance composed of fibrous substances, by which cells are disrupted from a biological sample including the cells, nucleic acid is released, and the nucleic acid can be bound.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for reducing a Peak to Average Power Ratio (PAPR) in a broadband wireless communication system. A transmitter classifies symbols into full-symbols and sub-symbols and divides a transmission full-symbol into at least two sub-symbols and transmits the sub-symbols, when the transmission full-symbol has a PAPR larger than a threshold set in the system. The sub symbols containing only part of the subcarriers of the full symbol exceeding the PAPR, the remaining ones being set to zero. A receiver, checks a transmitted symbol, determines if a full-symbol or a sub-symbol is arrived, and outputs a data when the full-symbol is arrived by recombining the subsymbols to obtain the original full-symbol exceeding the PAPR.

Abstract: Data delivery apparatus (1) communicate with a plurality of terminals (2)
via a communication network. Member table (T1) stores a member ID and
attribute data of each member. When a member logs in via a terminal, its
communication address is written into the member table in association with its
member ID. When a command requesting delivery of particular data has been
received from a terminal, the delivery apparatus refers to the member table, on
the basis of the communication address of the terminal having transmitted the
command, to determine whether the attribute data corresponding to the
member ID is indicative of a predetermined attribute. If so, the delivery
apparatus reads out the particular data from a database and broadcasts the
particular data to all of terminal apparatus having their respective
communication addresses stored in the member table. The delivery apparatus
can broadcast data, transmitted from a terminal, to all of the members, with
reference to the member table. The broadcasted data may be stored in a
sharing memory so that the data can be transmitted to another terminal having
logged in at a later time. On the basis of performance data generated in
response to performance of a musical instrument, an image indicative of the
contents of the performance is created and then displayed along with a graphic
image emulating the musical instrument.
