a synthetic resin solution (9), and a holding part being the unground
middle part (21, 31) of the applicator main body. The applicator main
body impregnated with the resin solution (9) is preferably dried by hot air

Abstract: The present invention relates to an automatic dispersion compensating optical link
system. Carrier suppressed RZ encoded optical signals generated using carrier
suppressing means and binary NRZ code or partial response code, or carrier suppressed
clock signals generated using carrier suppressing means and clock signals are transmitted
on an optical transmission line. Two bands of the carrier suppressed RZ encoded optical
signals or carrier suppressed clock signals transmitted on the optical transmission line are
each divided into bands and are received. Phase information of the respective basebands
is extracted from the binary NRZ code components or partial response code components or
clock signals in each band and the relative phase difference thereof is detected. The
chromatic dispersion value of the optical transmission line is then calculated from the
relative phase difference.

Abstract: An organic electroluminescent display device(10) includes
organic electroluminescent films(20), each containing organic
electroluminescent materials and sandwiched by a pair of
electrodes(14,16), each forming a plurality of light-emitting
elements above a substrate(11). Each pixel of the display device
is composed of two different colors light-emitting elements(R,B),
and the chromaticity of each color is controlled by changing the
concentration of organic electroluminescent materials or by adding
foreign materials thereto. For example, if the chromaticity of the
red light-emitting element is set to a value shifted toward green
side, various colors including white can be produced by mixing this
red with blue of the blue light-emitting element. Then, the organic
electroluminescent display device can produce high-quality
quasi - color images by mixing two colors of which chromaticity values
are properly controlled. By virtue of a two-color structure, the
aperture ratio becomes high and the manufacturing process becomes
simple.

Abstract: A DC-DC converter includes an ON-timing delay circuit in which, when an ON signal
is output from a power switch driving circuit in a control IC (4) to a power switch (3), the ON timing
of the power switch is delayed by hindering the start of the ON operation of the power
switch. An early turnoff circuit is provided in which, during delay of the ON timing of the
power switch, a commutating synchronous rectifier (6) has an ON and OFF switching
operation that is inverse with respect to that of the power switch. A delay eliminating circuit
is provided which promptly stops the delay operation of the ON-timing delay circuit (11,12) when
detecting the turnoff of the commutating synchronous rectifier which is caused by a drop in
the gate of a commutating synchronous rectifier. When the delay operation of the ON-timing
delay circuit continues after the turnoff the commutating synchronous rectifier, a loss
caused by the continuation of the delay operation occurs. The problem can be prevented
by the delay eliminating circuit (17).

Abstract: A method of simulating the movement of cloth and a computer-readable
medium storing a program which executes the method of simulating the movement of
cloth, wherein cloth deformation by compressive force is simulated by an immediate
buckling model when the compressive force is applied to two extremities of a
deformation unit which models the cloth, cloth deformation by stretching is
simulated by a spring model, and hysteresis phenomenon of cloth is simulated by
using spring-slips for modeling. The immediate buckling model is based on a model of
the present invention in which a deformation unit is not contracted by compressive
force and generates an immediate bending deformation. As for the compressive force
and stretching, simulation is implemented by separate models, hysteresis
phenomenon of cloth is simulated by use of spring-clips for modeling, whereby cloth
characteristics can be well reflected and the buckling instability of cloth caused by
compressive force can be solved, thereby increasing the simulation speed.
