Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé de mise en images de la zone de la tête, au moyen d'une caméra à détecteur linéaire (8) équipée d'un détecteur numérique, sur laquelle un faisceau de rayons X (11) est dirigé à travers l'objet à mette en images. Le procédé de l'invention consiste à utiliser un appareil (1) permettant l'imagerie céphalométrique et au moins une autre méthode d'imagerie, telle que l'imagerie panoramique. Ledit appareil comprend une source de rayons X (5), un collimateur primaire (6) conjointement avec la source de rayons X, une caméra à détecteur linéaire (8), prévue à un endroit plus éloigné de la source de rayons X (5) pour l'imagerie céphalométrique, et/ou à un endroit plus proche de ladite source de rayons X pour l'autre méthode d'imagerie, et un second collimateur (9) à proximité de la caméra à détecteur linéaire (8) pour l'imagerie céphalométrique. Dans le procédé de l'invention, le rayonnement émis par la source de rayons X (5) est collimaté dans l'imagerie céphalométrique sans que la source de rayons X soit tournée, de manière que le faisceau de rayons (11) contourne l'endroit où se trouve la caméra à détecteur linéaire (8) plus proche de la source de rayons X (5).

Abstract: The present invention provides a vaccine containing a Sendai
virus vector encoding a virus protein of an immunodeficiency virus.
By intranasally administering a Sendai virus encoding a virus protein
of an immunodeficiency virus to a macaque monkey, the present
inventors have succeeded in efficiently inducing protective immunity
against an immunodeficiency virus. As a result of intranasal
inoculation of vaccine, expression of an antigen protein mediated
by Sendai virus vector was detected in intranasal mucous membrane
and local lymph nodes and antigen-specific cellular immune response
was induced at a significant level. No pathological symptom by
vaccination was observed. After vaccination, exposure of simian
immunodeficiency virus was performed and the effect was examined.
As a result, the amount of virus in plasma significantly decreased,
compared with that of the control animal. The vaccine of the present
invention is promising as an AIDS vaccine.

Abstract: An information management system according to the present invention provides
a new communication tool and community space. An information image card which
contains image data expressing a sender who sends information and related
information such as a recommended URL and the e-mail address of the sender is
distributed to a plurality of users. The recipient user uses the information image card
as a portal tool for obtaining information by using client software in a computer, then
obtains the information contained in the information image card, and carries out a
function attached to the information image card. In this case, detailed information
related to the information image card is monistically managed by an information image
card management server and the detailed information is push-distributed to the
recipient when the client software is started. Even when the information attached to
the information image card is updated or deleted, the sender need not redistribute the
information image card to the plurality of users and the recipient can constantly obtain
the latest information from the information image card.

Abstract: In a multicast transmission system in
which the same information is transmitted from a
base station to a plurality of mobile stations, the
mobile station sends a retransmission request signal
to the base station when detecting an error in a
received multicast signal. The base station judges
whether a received signal indicates a retransmission
request according to receiving quality of the
received signal, and retransmits a multicast signal
corresponding to the retransmission request when the
received signal indicates the retransmission request.
In addition, The base station monitors a receiving
state of a multicast signal in the mobile stations,
and changes a transmission method to conform to the
receiving state according to a result of monitoring,
and sends a multicast signal.

Abstract: A knee protecting airbag device (M1), wherein an airbag
(26) covers the substantial lower surface (9a) of a column cover
(9) protruded to a driver side. Therefore, the airbag is
minimized in the capacity without deteriorating the protection
of the knee of the driver. As a result, it is possible to shorten
the time period required for the airbag to complete the expansion
and inflation. The airbag has a generally plate shape capable
of covering at least the lower surface of the column cover when
it completes the inflation. Even if the knee of the driver
comes close to the column cover when the driver depresses a
brake pedal or the like, the airbag being expanded and inflated
is smoothly arranged in a narrow space between the knee of the
driver and the column cover lower surface without interfering
with the knee of the driver. With the knee protecting airbag
device according to the present invention, therefore, the airbag
is rapidly expanded and inflated in the narrow space between
the column cover and the knee of the driver thereby to protect
the knee of the driver properly.

Abstract: In an optical data transmission system, high frequency pulsed optical signals are transmitted along an optical fiber. These pulses are attenuated and distorted by transmission over long optical fibers making detection of data difficult at the receiving end. The allowable pulse profile is determined by an eye diagram which is non-symmetrical with respect to logic 1 and 0 levels. By positioning the eye diagram closer to the logic 0 level, detection in the presence of noise introduced during transmission of the optical pulses, can be significantly improved.

Abstract: Channel estimating section 102 calculates a channel
estimation value by calculating the correlation between a
basic code and midamble of a receiving baseband signal and
therefore, creates a delay profile. User determining section
104 selects, with reference to delay profile, a user, as a
user used in matrix manipulation for cancelling interference,
whose maximum receiving power value exceeds a user determining
threshold. Path selecting section 107, referring to delay
profile, selects a path, as a path used in the matrix
manipulation for cancelling interference, whose receiving
power exceeds a path selection threshold value. JD
demodulating section 108 generates a matrix by carrying out
predetermined processing using the channel estimation value
of a path selected by path selecting section 107 of a user
selected by user determining section 104 and multiplies the
generated matrix by a received baseband signal. Accordingly,
it is possible to reduce the amount of joint detection
calculation while preventing as much as possible the
performance deterioration.

Abstract: A refrigerant circuit ( 15 ) is disposed which is formed by connection of an outdoor
unit ( 11 ) and two indoor units ( 12, 13 ). And, the air conditioning capacity of the
outdoor unit ( 11 ) is controlled such that the temperature of refrigerant circulating
through the refrigerant circuit ( 15 ) becomes a target value and the target value is altered
correspondingly to the state of an operation. In other words, the control characteristics
of the target value are determined correspondingly to the air conditioning load
characteristics of a building, and the target value is altered according to the control
characteristics and based on the inside/outside temperature difference between an indoor
set temperature and an outside air temperature. For example, during cooling mode
operations, the control characteristics of an evaporating temperature target value are
determined correspondingly to the cooling load characteristics of the building and
thereafter the evaporating temperature target value is altered according to the control
characteristics and based on the inside/outside temperature difference. And, the air
conditioning capacity of the outdoor unit ( 11 ) is controlled such that an evaporating
temperature that a low-pressure pressure sensor ( 74 ) detects becomes a target value.
