Abstract: A proton-conducting electrolyte membrane is disclosed, comprising at least one base material and at least one doping agent which is the reaction product from an at least di-basic inorganic acid with an organic compound, comprising one acid hydroxy group, or the condensation product of said compound with a multi-basic acid. The membrane may be produced by a single-step method, whereby dangerous and toxic materials can be avoided. Subsequent doping of the membrane, for example, in connection with the assembly of the Membrane Electrode Assembly (MEA) is not excluded. The electrolyte membrane has a high and constant mechanical stability and flexibility, excellent chemical and thermal resistance and a high constant conductivity. The membrane can be applied in a fuel cell in a wide temperature range of from, for example, 50  DEG C to over 200  DEG C, whereby the fuel cell has a high and constant capacity over the whole temperature range.

Abstract: The unbalanced feeding antenna element 201 is fed
power from one end and placed on the upper surface of
the circuit substrate 103. The passive element 202 has
open both ends, is set to a length corresponding to a
predetermined frequency, placed in substantially
parallel to the unbalanced feeding element 201 placed
on the circuit substrate 103 at a distance of approximately
1/10 or less of a wavelength at a frequency used for
transmission/reception. This suppresses the antenna
current flowing into the circuit substrate 103 to aminimum
level and makes radiation from the passive element 202
dominant compared to radiation from the circuit substrate
103. This makes it possible to suppress a reduction in
the antenna gain caused by the human body when the user
uses the communication terminal apparatus.

IPC: G06F40/00
Filed: 2002-12-26
Abstract: A recent match position list is used for
narrowing down candidates for a matching character
string that have previously appeared. With a
character string of each candidate in an input buffer
being compared, a matching character string is
detected and coded. An input unit inputs and retains
in the input buffer a data string to be compressed.
A recent-match-position-list generating unit
generates and retains a recent match position list
having stored therein a relative position where
a character string having a predetermined length
starting at each address in the input buffer has
most recently appeared. A repetition candidate
acquiring unit uses the recent match position list
to acquire a repetition candidate for a position
where a character string at a coding position has
previously appeared. A match detecting unit
compares a character string starting at a position
of the acquired repetition candidate and the
character string starting at the coding position,
and detects a character string having the longest
match from the candidate position. A code
generating unit performs coding with a match length
and a relative position of the detected matching
character string.

Abstract: The sampled-grating, distributed-feedback laser diode of the
present invention has a high output optical efficiency in
comparison with a conventional wavelength tunable laser provided
with Bragg reflection ends at both ends of the gain region
for wavelength tuning as a structure capable of connecting an
optical fiber directly without losing the optical wave
generated at the gain region. And also, the present invention
can be manufactured by the manufacturing process of a
conventional wavelength tunable laser diode without
reinvesting a new equipment. Further, the SG-DFB laser diode
of the present invention can control a broadband wavelength
with a simple circuit construction in comparison with a
conventional wavelength tunable laser diode since it can vary
the wavelength continuously or discontinuously by the change of
current of each region of the phase control regions.

Abstract: The present invention provides a technique by which
highly detailed gene expression profiling data for analyzing
the gene function can be obtained safely and conveniently.
It is a versatile non-destructive and high-resolution
visualizing technique by which expression levels of genes
can be monitored in real time, and which can be applied in
vivo and to deep tissues. For instance, plasmids in which
molecules that vary the NMR signal and can be quantified
by PHM genes are incorporated downstream from promoters
responding to the condition of medium, external stimuli and
the like, are introduced into the cells. The level of
polyphosphate in deep tissues and the like can then be
quantified by  31 P-NMR, allowing expression profiling of the
promoter, both non-destructively and in real time.
