Patent JP-2003518875-A (JP)
IPC: H04L25/03
Filed: 2000-11-17
Abstract: The invention relates to a mobile station adapted to be used in a radio communications system, said mobile station including: receiver means adapted to receive blocks of distorted information bits at a first rate from a transmitter via a communications link, and first detecting means adapted to detect information bits from said distorted information bits. The mobile station also includes second detecting means adapted, when the quality of said received blocks of information bits is above a given level, to detect information bits from said distorted information bits using fewer computation resources than said first detecting means. The invention also relates to a method of transmitting electronic information and to a communications system. It is a major advantage according to the invention that the use of fewer computation resources - as a result of using less complex detection means (when possible) - enables a mobile station to receive information at a higher data rate. Thereby, a higher data throughput can be achieved for the user. <IMAGE>

The first and second distal brackets are partly curved in the same direction and run parallel with each other so that gaps for inserting parts of the cardiac valve prosthesis are formed.
Patent JP-2003526942-A (JP)
IPC: H01L21/768
Filed: 2001-03-13
Abstract: A method of forming nano-scale features with conventional multilayer structures, and nano-scale features formed thereby. The method generally entails forming a multilayer structure that includes a polycrystalline layer and at least one constraining layer. The multilayer structure is patterned to form first and second structures, each of which includes the polycrystalline and constraining layers. At least the first structure is then locally heated, during which time the constraining layer restricts the thermal expansion of the polycrystalline layer of the first structure. As a result, stresses are induced in the polycrystalline layer of the first structure, causing substantially two-dimensional grain growth from the edge of the first structure. Sufficient grain growth occurs to produce a third structure which, based on the grain size of the polycrystalline layer, will be a nano-scale structure. When appropriately configured, nano-scale structures can be formed as operative components of electrical, mechanical, optical and fluid-handling devices.

Title: Adjustment of output image of image data
Inventor: NAKAMI YOSHIHIRO
IPC: H04N1/407
Filed: 2002-02-06
Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To automatically adjust the image quality of image data without impairing arbitrarily set output conditions. SOLUTION: When a memory card MC is inserted into a slot 34, the control circuit 30 of a color printer 20 acquires image output control information GI from the card MC and analyzes the information GI. When an exposure correction amount other than zero is set, a CPU 31 corrects a standard brightness value Bstd to a brightness parameter by reflecting the set exposure correction amount in the parameter. The CPU 31 finds a corrected brightness level Brev by correcting a representative brightness value Brep so as to bring the value Brep nearer to the standard brightness value Bstd and adjusts the image quality of the image data by reflecting the corrected brightness level Brev in the quality.
