Abstract: A switching power supply unit comprises a DC power supply
(2); a transformer (T) having a primary winding (N1), a
secondary winding (N2) and a feedback winding (NB), a main
switching element (Q1) connected in series to the primary
winding (N1) to be turned on by a voltage generated at the
feedback winding (NB), and a voltage dropping circuit (6, 7)
for dropping the output voltage obtained form the secondary
winding (N2) to reduce a fly-back voltage so that the voltage
of a control terminal of the main switching element (Q1) is
maintained at a lower value than a threshold voltage of the
main switching element (Q1).

Abstract: In a multi-level printer that enables a plurality of dots to be created in each pixel, the technique of the present invention reduces the unevenness of density and the roughness due to localization of dots in each pixel. The principle of the present invention is applicable to, for example, an ink jet printer that enables ink to be ejected successively in each pixel in the course of the main scan. Multiple tones are expressible in each pixel corresponding to the number of dots created therein. A dot formation pattern is set in such a manner that the center of all dots to be created in each pixel is substantially coincident with the center of the pixel. This arrangement effectively interferes with the localization of dots in each pixel and thereby reduces the unevenness of density and the roughness. In the case of bi-directional recording, this arrangement effectively prevents the misalignment of dot forming positions in a forward pass of the main scan with those in a backward pass of the main scan, thus attaining the high quality printing. <IMAGE>

Abstract: Disclosed is a device and method for carrying out
an assay for an analyte in a fluid test sample by immunochromatography.
The device involves a strip having
a non-porous receiving member of a hydrophobic material
in direct fluid communication with a reagent
region of an absorbent material through which the
fluid test sample can flow by capillarity. By applying
the fluid test sample to the non-porous hydrophobic
receiving member rather than directly to the absorbent
material the reliability of the assay is enhanced.

Abstract: A terrestrial repeater is disclosed for use in a satellite transmission system that
may also include a plurality of satellites. The terrestrial repeaters are implemented as
OFDM transmitters to minimize the channel impairments caused by multi-path
propagation. The OFDM terrestrial repeaters differentially encode the transmitted signal
over frequency, as opposed to time, in order to avoid channel phase distortion. The
OFDM receiver allocates two unmodulated sub-carriers as pilot bins and thereby
provides two sub-carriers as a reference within each OFDM symbol. At the OFDM
receiver, the two unmodulated pilot bins contain no phase information and provide a
reference for the differential demodulation performed by the OFDM receiver. The
OFDM transmitter operates in two modes, namely, a normal mode and a transmitter
identifier information (TII) mode. The TII mode contains all of the functions of the
normal mode, and also transmits a repeater identification signal with the customer data,
using the inactive OFDM sub-carriers (bins). In a normal mode, the OFDM transmitter
optionally fills unused (inactive) sub-carriers with zeroes and in a TII mode, the OFDM
transmitter uses at least some of the unused (inactive) sub-carriers to transmit the
transmitter identifier information (TII). The predefined TII value is mapped onto a set of
complex symbols. The TII signal facilitates the receiver test equipment in associating the
received signal with the terrestrial repeater(s) that generate the TII signal.

Abstract: A legged mobile robot is adaptively controlled in its attitude against variable external forces to continue the operation without inversion. When the legged mobile robot kicks an object having a certain mass, such as a ball, the robot is to be prevented from being fallen down by the reactive force from the object. Even if the mass or the repulsion coefficient of the object kicked is unknown, the operation of kicking the object at a sufficiently low speed is carried out at the outset to predict the reactive force produced on actual kicking in order to predict the reactive force produced on actual kicking. The result is that the stability in attitude can be maintained on kicking at an arbitrary speed. The legged mobile robot is able to take part as one of the players in athletic games, such as soccer games, in which each player performs his or her role as the or she is subjected to an external force.
