Abstract: The invention discloses a reflective liquid
crystal display device comprising a polarizer, a
retardation film, a front scattering film layer, and
a liquid crystal cell having a mirror reflector, in
which the front scattering film layer includes at
least one film of which scattering angle range is
asymmetrical to the normal direction of film. In
other feature of the invention, plural front
scattering films of which scattering angle range is
asymmetrical to the film normal are laminated so that
the projection direction onto the film surface in the
central angle direction of the scattering angle range
may be different. 
     In a different feature of the invention, at
least one of the scattering films for composing the
scattering film layer is a front scattering film for
scattering more strongly the transmission light from
the second incident angle region not containing the
film normal direction than the transmission light
from the first incident angle region containing the
film normal direction. 
     By such anisotropy of scattering
characteristics of scattering films, the reflective
liquid crystal display device which is bright, high
in contrast and suppressed in blurry image is
presented.

Abstract: A domain (102), which is a basic constituent for processing the issuance and receipt of orders for parts, executes processing for order issuance (102-5), order receipt (102-1), machining planning (102-2), constructional expansion (102-3) and ordering planning (102-4), thereby decentralizing processing of information relating to parts issuance and inventory. It is possible to realize sufficiently high processing speed even with a small-sized system. In addition, the resulting system allows parts management on a real-time basis. The system lends itself to enlargement and rapid changes in production scheduling that accompany an increase in number of parts, this not be readily feasible with conventional centralized information management. <IMAGE>

Abstract: Upon performing printing using a dye ink and a
pigment ink and in addition a treatment liquid
making those inks insoluble, two kinds of inks
consisted of the pigment ink (I p ) and the dye ink
(I d ) are used. After applying the pigment ink (I p )
on a printing medium (P), the dye ink (I d ) is
applied overlaying with the pigment ink. After
mixing these inks on the printing medium (P), the
treatment liquid (S) which makes the inks insoluble,
is applied. In the alternative, a mixed ink (I m ) in
which a pigment ink not requiring a dispersant and
the dye, is used. After application of this mixed
ink (I m ) on the printing medium (P), the treatment
liquid (S) which makes the ink (I m ) insoluble, is
applied. Therefore, problem of "crack", "soaking
out", "overflow" or lowering of OD value which can
be caused upon reaction of the pigment ink (I p ) and
the dye ink (I d ) or the mixed ink (I m ) with the
treatment liquid (S), can be solved to achieve high
quality printing.

Abstract: Measurement of meat intra- and extracellular water and ratio of lean and fatty contents comprises electrical impedance measurements at four or more frequencies between 1 kHz and 1 MHz. A first evaluation of the ratio between the volumes of total- and extracellular water is made from the quotient K of impedance moduli. The impedances are measured between: (1) 1 kHz and 50 kHz; and (2) 100 kHz and 10 MHz. The value (K) is independent of environmental measurement conditions. In the first stage the experimental results are corrected using the method of least squares. For this, an expression is provided, relating electrical impedance Z with frequency (f), comprising resistances at infinite and zero frequency, frequency of maximum impedance and cell dispersion of the biological system. The resistances are then used to calculate the value E%, related to the ratio of intracellular and extracellular water volumes, using a further equation. In a second stage, the lean meat content is determined. The impedance is determined above 100 kHz. An equation is provided, linking lean mass with the inverse of this impedance, using prior calibration coefficients obtained for meat of similar characteristics and a geometrical factor appropriate to measurement conditions. The total fatty weight is then obtained by subtracting the total lean weight from the total weight of the sample under investigation.

Abstract: The invention relates to resonator structures of radio communication
apparatus, especially bulk acoustic wave filter structures. According to the
invention, a bulk acoustic filter structure is constructed with a lattice
configuration, in which two of the filters have a different area than other two
for creating very steep passband edges in the frequency response of the
filter. Preferably, the filter structure further comprises a second lattice
structure for increasing the stopband rejection ratio of the filter structure, and
for allowing the use of a simple mechanical structure. The cascaded
configuration allows the construction of the filter structure in such a way, that
the electrodes of the input and output port are at the same layer, thereby
removing the need to make vias in the piezoelectric layer, which results in
considerable simplification of the manufacturing process. Preferably, an
acoustical mirror structure is used as the acoustical isolation in order to
further simplify the mechanical structure of the filter structure.
