Abstract: A mobile radio communication system is provided for maintaining high-quality communications and preventing disconnection of a radio link during fast movement. The system includes a radio network controller (300) provided with a storage unit (350) and a control unit (331). The storage unit (350,351) stores grouped-user-equipments management information to be used for identifying and managing a plurality of mobile terminals (user equipment) (100-1,100-2) as one group. The control unit (331) controls the mobile terminals belonging to the same group so that they may be connected with their respective ones of the cells formed by node bases (200-1 to 200-m). This allows the mobile terminals (100-1,100-2) belonging to the same group to execute multiplex communications, thereby preventing simultaneous disconnection of the radio links of mobile terminals belonging to the same group even when they are moving fast.

Abstract: A method of forming a silicon germanium on insulator (SGOI) structure. A SiGe layer is deposited on an SOI wafer. Thermal mixing of the SiGe and Si layers is performed to form a thick SGOI with high relaxation and low stacking fault defect density. The SiGe layer is then thinned to a desired final thickness. The Ge concentration, the amount of relaxation, and stacking fault defect density are unchanged by the thinning process. A thin SGOI film is thus obtained with high relaxation and low stacking fault defect density. A layer of Si is then deposited on the thin SGOI wafer. The method of thinning includes low temperature (550° C.-700° C.) HIPOX or steam oxidation, in-situ HCl etching in an epitaxy chamber, or CMP. A rough SiGe surface resulting from HIPOX or steam oxidation thinning is smoothed with a touch-up CMP, in-situ hydrogen bake and SiGe buffer layer during strained Si deposition, or heating the wafer in a hydrogen environment with a mixture of gases HCl, DCS and GeH4.

Abstract: To maintain physical fitness and health of middle-aged
and older persons living in the threshold of the aging society,
the present invention provides a fatigue reducing agent which
is highly effective for preventing and reducing fatigue,
wherein the agent is made of a composition of substances that
are very safe so that long-term administration is possible.
A composition containing reduced coenzyme Q was found to be
effective for preventing and reducing fatigue, including
muscle fatigue. Since the fatigue reducing effect of the
composition of the present invention is seen not only in young
rats but also more pronounced in aged rats, the present
invention can provide the fatigue reducing agent which is very
useful, especially, for middle-aged and older persons as well
as for young people.

Abstract: In a process for producing a biocompatible stent, a tubular substrate of the stent adapted for diametric expansion has a layer of a noble metal oxide formed over at least the outer surface of greater diameter of the substrate, the substrate being composed of a metal or an alloy thereof that is non-noble or less-noble than the layer's noble metal. An interface region adapted to prevent corrosion and to provide a firm bond between the surface of the substrate and the noble metal oxide layer is established, at least in part, by forming the noble metal oxide layer with a progressively varying concentration of noble metal-to-oxide with depth of the layer such that a surface of pure noble metal and negligible oxide of the layer is in closest proximity to the surface of the substrate. In one embodiment of the process, the interface region is established by forming the surface of pure noble metal and negligible oxide thereof in direct contact with the metal or alloy of the substrate surface. In another, the interface region is established by first creating an oxide of the substrate metal or alloy thereof at the substrate surface, and then forming the noble metal oxide layer as above, but in contact with the substrate metal or alloy oxide. Alternatively, the noble metal oxide layer has no progressively varying concentration but simply overlies an oxide of the substrate metal or alloy.

Abstract: A method and a device for transferring signalling information in a TDMA based system. Temporal alignment of values for a retransmission number parameter (R) with the TDMA frame structure is determined on the basis of which a first radio packet to be sent in a number of first TDMA frames (406) is encoded by using a certain first value for the parameter and a second radio packet to be sent in a number of second TDMA frames (410) is encoded by using a certain second value for the parameter. The first and second radio packets are transmitted to the recipient that adheres to the same temporal alignment rules and can thus properly decode both the packets. The solution can be utilized especially in GERAN radio access network with FLO (Flexible Layer One) for transferring signalling information on half-rate channels.

Abstract: La présente invention concerne un procédé pour améliorer la solubilité de polysaccharides non amylacés d'une matière végétale. La présente invention concerne également les produits préparés selon ce procédé et l'utilisation de ces produits. Le procédé consiste à broyer la matière au moyen d'énergie mécanique, afin de former des particules, au moins une majeure partie des cellules qui contiennent des polysaccharides non amylacés dans la matière étant endommagée. Les polysaccharides non amylacés finissent de préférence sous forme de particules produites par broyage, afin de former des particules plus petites que celles de la cellule initiale contenant ces polysaccharides dans la matière. La rupture des cellules permet une interaction efficace entre le milieu de dissolution et les polysaccharides à dissoudre, ce qui se manifeste par une meilleure solubilité. La matière peut être broyée sous l'effet combiné de pression, de chaleur et de forces de cisaillement. Des modes de réalisation préférés comprennent l'extrusion, l'expansion et l'homogénéisation sous pression, les matières préférées pour ces traitements étant l'avoine, le seigle et des fractions de ceux-ci. On peut régler la solubilité et les circonstances de dissolution du produit selon cette invention en mélangeant la matière à broyer avec un ingrédient riche en amylopectine.
