Abstract: The present invention provides a videophone
terminal by which the emotions and impressions of a user
can be transmitted to and easily understood by a co-communicant.
when a user performs a predetermined
operation or when an audio processor identifies a
predetermined keyword in the speech of the user, a picture
of a virtual character is modified, or a completely
different picture is displayed. To modify the picture of
the virtual character, the size of each part of the face or
the whole face is changed, or a pattern expressing an
emotion is added thereto. And when a pending mode is
released, the virtual character is recovered and displayed
on the screen while a melody is played. At the end of a
video conversation, in accordance with the user's
selection, a picture indicating that the virtual character
disappears from the screen is displayed before
disconnecting the line.

In particular, the method for recovering an underwater ecosystem of a river comprises a first step of constructing an upstream blocking wall at the same level as the bottom of a river such that the bottom of the river is positioned in the same line as upper surfaces of the upstream blocking wall; a second step of constructing a downstream blocking wall at the same level as the bottom of the river at a position spaced apart from the upstream blocking wall by a predetermined distance such that the bottom of the river is positioned in the same line as an upper surface of the downstream blocking wall; and a third step of dredging the bottom of the river in a predetermined depth according to a planned depth of water of the river and constructing a reservoir between the upstream and downstream blocking walls to release various kinds of underwater organisms suitable to regional characteristics, wherein the first to third steps are repeated to form a plurality of pond regions along the river. The method of the present invention further comprises a fourth step of constructing shallow regions for water purification between the plurality of pond regions. Therefore, there are advantages in that the underwater ecosystem of a river can be recovered and maintained healthily and the contamination of river can be prevented through the improvement of natural purification capability of the river, whereby a natural ecosystem including the ecosystem of an existing river can be kept more healthily and the river may be thus easily utilized as a water-friendly space.

Title: Aircraft mode suppression
Inventor: GIAZOTTO ALESSANDRO RICCARDO B
IPC: B64C13/16
Filed: 2005-03-11
Abstract: An aircraft control system operates during landing to suppress normal modes of flexing of the aircraft or modes of rigid rotation. The excitation of the modes are measured using accelerometers attached to the aircraft or strain-measuring devices attached to the landing gears. To suppress the modes, the controller operates the flight control surfaces, e.g., elevators, ailerons, rudders and spoilers and/or the steering angle of the nose wheel. This reduces vibration, which reduces wear and makes braking more even because the variation in load on the ground wheels caused by the excitation of the modes is reduced.
