Abstract: The invention relates to an improved method and an apparatus for navigating a craft (500) by means of remote distance measurement, for instance, via a radar altimeter. This measurement of a distance between the craft (500) and a surface (B) over which the craft (500) moves involves a measurement noise model (Ngnd(B)), which for particular geographical positions (Axy, Bxy; Cxy) designates an estimation of the surface's (A, B; C) inclination to cause measurement noise at remote distance measurement against the surface at the geographical position in question (A<xy?, B>xy<; C>xy<). The measurement noise model (N>gnd<(A), N>gnd<(B); N>gnd<(C)) thereby models surfaces of varying types and kown objects being located on the surface. Relevant measurement noise models (N>gnd<(A), N>gnd<(B); N>gnd<(C)) are taken into account based on the georaphical area within which the craft (500) is estimated to be located. The size of this area is then limited iteratively by performing multiple consecutive remote distance measurements.

Abstract: L'invention concerne des membranes de polyélectrolytes solides et leurs procédés de production. On connaît comme matériaux polyélectrolytes solides les fluoropolymères qui ont des perfluorosquelettes, des chaînes latérales portant des groupes d'acide sulfonique et des résines résistantes à la chaleur qui sont des squelettes hydrocarbonés et contiennent des groupes d'acide alkyle-sulfonique ou alkyle-phosphorique insérés. Les fluoropolymères ont une excellente résistance à la chaleur et une excellente résistance chimique mais ont l'inconvénient d'être expansifs, tandis que les résines résistantes à la chaleur ont l'inconvénient d'avoir une faible résistance chimique. De plus, on souhaite des matériaux polyélectrolytes solides fortement électroconducteurs. L'invention vise à produire des membranes de polyélectrolyte solide ayant une conductivité électrique élevée satisfaisante ainsi qu'une excellente résistance à la chaleur et résistance chimique et des procédés de production de ces membranes. Les membranes polyélectrolytes solides sont réalisées à partir de résines portant à la fois des groupes d'acide phosphorique et des groupes d'acide sulfonique, les résines étant obtenues par copolymérisation d'un monomère portant dans la molécule un groupe d'acide phosphorique et une liaison éthyléniquement non saturée avec un monomère portant dans la molécule un groupe d'acide sulfonique et une liaison éthyléniquement non saturée.

Abstract: It is an object of the present invention to reduce the size of a circuit and the adverse effects of fabrication errors, while increasing yield. Signal light incident on a circuit through input waveguides (303) propagates from the exterior to interior of the circuit while rotating counterclockwise. The signal light passes through a point of inflection (305) in the center of the circuit, subsequently propagate clockwise from the interior to exterior of the circuit, and then exit output waveguides (304). Two arms constituting a delay circuit (302a-302d) and optical couplers (301a-301e) can be integrated together at such an interval that they are not coupled together. Therefore, the size of the circuit can be reduced compared to the prior art. <IMAGE>   <IMAGE>

Abstract: The invention aims at providing a folding type radio terminal, a call start method and a call start program which allows the user to start a call with a simple operation. On the folding type radio terminal, when a motor driving button is pressed while an incoming signal is being received with a top lid open with respect to a main unit, a controller drives a motor to open the top lid. When a top lid state detector has detected that the top lid is fully open or a predetermined time is measured by the timer from the driving of the motor, the controller 155 shuts down the motor. The controller performs call connection processing in response to the incoming signal so as to place the radio terminal in the call state. This starts a call. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The invention is directed to isomeric mixtures of cyclosporine analogues that are structurally similar to cyclosporine A. The mixtures possess enhanced efficacy and reduced toxicity over the individual isomers and over naturally occurring and other presently known cyclosporines and cyclosporine derivatives. Embodiments of the present invention are directed toward cis and trans-isomers of cyclosporin A analogs referred to as ISA Tx 247, and derivatives thereof. Mixtures of ISA Tx 247 isomers exhibit a combination of enhanced potency and reduced toxicity over the naturally occurring and presently known cyclosporins. ISA Tx 247 isomers and alkylated, arylated, and deuterated derivatives are synthesized by stereoselective pathways where the particular conditions of a reaction determine the degree of stereoselectivity. Stereoselective pathways may utilize a Wittig reaction, or an organometallic reagent comprising inorganic elements such as boron, silicon, titanium, and lithium. The ratio of isomers in a mixture may range from about 10 to 90 percent by weight of the (E)-isomer to about 90 to 10 percent by weight of the (Z)-isomer, based on the total weight of the mixture.
