Abstract: A multilayer ceramic capacitor is produced by using a dielectric ceramic
composition prepared by allowing a composition represented by the composition formula
(Ba 1-x Ca x )TiO 3  (provided that 0.005 ≤ x ≤ 0.05), namely, 0.5 -5 mol% to contain an
additive of MnO - CoO - MgO at 0.2 to 2 mol% and a Y 2 O 3  additive at 2.5 mol% or less
and further adding a glass component comprising SiO 2  - Al 2 O 3  - BaO - CaO - Ta 2 O 5  at
0.5 to 5 mol% to the resulting composition. The dielectric ceramic composition can be
prepared into slurry well by using an aqueous binder and can be sintered well with no
occurrence of any crack even by fast firing, and even after barrel treatment, additionally,
chipping hardly occurs in the dielectric ceramic composition. Accordingly, the
resulting multilayer ceramic capacitor exerts an excellent breakdown voltage even at a
large size and can therefore satisfy the JIS B characteristic.

Abstract: A credit status checking system capable of examining
credit status of a customer immediately and easily, by utilizing
a telephone number recorded regarding the customer through a
computer system performing the examining procedure
automatically is disclosed. A telephone number examining
apparatus connected with ISDN as a subscriber terminal
processes circuit-switched call control procedures defined in
the ITU-T recommendation Q.931 as a calling terminal. A
database manager searches a customer file corresponding to a
customer ID input by a customer through an automated transaction
machine, retrieves a telephone number contained in the customer
file, and transmits the number to the telephone number examining
apparatus. The telephone number examining apparatus sends a
SETUP message including an unrestricted or a restricted digital
information in a bearer capability information element to the
network where the telephone number received from the database
manager defined as a called party number. When the network does
not receive the SETUP message sent and transfers a DISCONNECT
message, the examining apparatus performs a clear sequence
immediately and obtains a cause in an information element of
the DISCONNECT message from the network. When the cause
indicates one of the predetermined set of causes, e.g.,
"Unallocated (Unassigned) number", the examining apparatus
determines the number null, and notifies of the credit
information manager that the telephone number is null.

Abstract: A method for acquiring data from voxels in a contour of tissue includes
positioning the tissue in a magnetic field. For the present method, a z-gradient
is imposed on the contour tissue to spread the spectrum of all of the
voxels over a same range of Larmor frequencies. Additionally, voxels in the
contour tissue are selectively encoded with different x-gradients and  y -gradients
to distinguish the various voxels from each other. In the presence
of the z-gradient, nuclei of the encoded voxel are tilted and then refocused at
a rate proportional to the z-gradient. Due to this refocusing, spin echo
signals are generated which are useful for acquiring data from the tissue.
The intravoxel z-gradient used for the present invention is the same for all
voxels and is greater than either the x-gradient or the y-gradient which are
used for encoding. The z-gradient may be substantially constant.
Importantly, the z-gradient is sufficiently extensive to spread the spectrum of
the spin echo signals for suppression of exogenous noise and make the
signals immune to static field perturbations.
