Abstract: Broadcast signal c is transmitted from a broadcast
transmitter 5 to an artificial satellite 1 for predetermined
signal conversion therein, whereby broadcast signals a 1  to
an are transmitted to the entire area of Japan. On-earth
stations 6-1 to 6-n are installed for weather forecast data.
These on-earth stations receive the broadcast signals a 1 
to a n , respectively, transmitted from the artificial
satellite 1, and transmit receiving state data b 1  to b n ,
respectively, based on receiving level data to the
artificial satellite 1. The receiving state signals are
changed with variations of their radio wave attenuation
according to whether it is cloudy, the clouddensity, whether
it rains or snows, etc. The receiving state data are
collectively sent back to a weather forecast center 9.
Weather forecast data e obtained by analysis in the weather
forecast center 9 is transmitted to the artificial satellite
1, which in turn sends weather forecast data f back to the
full area in Japan.

Abstract: In a wireless device, a method and system for a baseband receiver interface
including analog and digital components are provided. An analog or a digital interface
may be selected for a I/Q data signal received from a front-end receiver. The analog
interface may be a conventional RF or a VLIF interface. The I/Q data signal may be
digitized when received from the analog interface and saturation detection may be used
during digitization of the I/Q data signal. When the analog interface is the VLIF
interface, a derotator may be used to remove the VLIF frequency. The derotator may
be based on a CORDIC algorithm. The I/Q data signal may be converted from serial to
parallel format when received from the digital interface. The received I/Q data signal
may be decimated before transferred to a baseband processor.

Abstract: By smoothing a full-color image, staircasing of characters even in a gradation image is removed. An area to be smoothed is detected from image data having a plurality of color components, and image data included in the detected area is smoothed in units of color components. 
     Image data which places an importance on resolution is smoothed by increasing the resolution to reproduce smooth characters and figures. Image data which places an importance on gradation characteristic is output without increasing the resolution, thus attaining high-gradation recording. A character or figure is detected from bitmap image data input from external equipment, and is smoothed. In correspondence with the density of the smoothed image data, the pulse width is switched, thereby changing the resolution of image data.

Abstract: A method for the detection of bacteria in aqueous fluids in the form of solutions, emulsions and or suspensions, such as drinking water, liquid food and drinks and biological fluids such as urine, spinal and/or amniotic fluids and serums by measurement of light scattering The fluid suspected of containing bacteria is filtered, first to exclude particles of sizes larger than the size of the expected bacteria. Other filtration methods are used in addition to exclude different constituents of the examined fluid. Ion exchange chromatography is such a method. The verification of bacterial contamination and the calculation of its level is performed by matching measured scattering profiles with pre-stored calibrated scattering profiles. A system for carrying out the measurements including cuvette units suited for light scattering measurements is provided.

Abstract: Metal halide lighting with good color during dimming may be obtained. An appropriate balance of commonly used metal halides (NaI, DyI 3 , CeI 3 , CaI 2 , T11) is dosed in the lamp. No mercury is used. A higher than typical xenon fill pressure from 50 to 500 Kilopascals may be used to help control thermal properties and voltage. If necessary, modulation of the power at acoustic resonance frequencies may be used to straighten and center the arc. Efficient and pleasant white output is obtained. As the power is reduced, the chromaticity either (1) remains fairly constant or (2) drifts acceptably towards warm pinkish colors. Large factors of attenuation in output can be realized. The lumen output was reduced by at least a factor of twenty in one sample as the power was dimmed from 70 to 20 watts.
