Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for manufacturing
objects of metallic material and including a base
material (2), an intermediate layer (8) and an outer
layer (15) formed by surface treatment of the intermediate

generating the intermediate layer (8) thereon, whereby
the metallic material (4) in the intermediate layer (8)
is selected to have such properties that said layer (8)
can be surface treated with a second surface treatment
process (Y2) different from the laser treatment process
(Y1), whereby the intermediate layer (8) is surface
treated with said second surface treatment process (Y2)
for generating or forming the outer layer (15) thereon.

Abstract: A processor element, structured to execute a 32-bit fixed length
instruction set architecture, is backward compatible with a 16-bit fixed length
instruction set architecture by translating each of the 16-bit instructions into a
sequence of one or more 32-bit instructions. Switching between 16-bit instruction
execution and 32-bit instruction execution is accomplished by branch instructions
that employ a least significant bit position of the address of the target of the branch
to identify whether the target instruction is a 16-bit instruction or a 32-bit instruction.

Abstract: It is an object to provide an ink-jet recording
apparatus capable of always obtaining an image having a high
quality without difficulty for a user by precisely detecting
a cause which deteriorates image quality and by efficiently
resolving the cause. The cause of the deterioration in
image quality is detected on the basis of a difference S
between image data G intended to be recorded and read data Y
which is obtained by reading the image that is recorded on a
recording medium (S = G - Y), thereby determining a
processing method for resolving the cause. The determined
processing method is executed and, thus, normal recording is
always possible.

Abstract: Apparatus and method of detecting assayed molecules in a sample make use of a sensing member comprising a piezoelectric crystal with a sensing surface that can interact with a medium in contact therewith by either binding a first indicator agent from the medium, or by releasing a second indicator agent originally immobilized on the sensing surface into the medium. The binding or release causes a change in mass detectable by the use of an electric or electronic utility, through a change in resonance frequency. The medium interacting with the sensing member is a treated sample preparation obtained by reacting the sample with one or both of a reagent solution or sample-processing hardware, such that said medium comprises a first indicator agent or a second indicator agent-releasing species at a concentration of said agent or species which is in correlation to the concentration of the assayed molecules in the sample.

is contained in the cartridge casing for rotation, in which the
magnetic tape is fixed at the leading edge thereof to a leader
pin employed for extracting the magnetic tape from the cartridge

is a deviation in the insertion position in which leader pin is
inserted by the record and playback apparatus, etc. causing the
entry path of the leader pin into the cartridge casing to be off
track, etc., it is still possible for the leader pin to be inserted

Abstract: An avalanche photodiode (APD) of the present invention uses a distortion-compensated
superlattice multiplication layer (103) for the superlattice
multiplication layer. It also uses a multi-layered light-reflecting layer as the light-reflecting

reduce a layer thickness of the superlattice multiplication layer without decreasing
an electron multiplication factor and increasing a dark current. Accordingly, the
APD of the present invention shows high response and low operating voltage,
while it also maintains low dark current, low noise and broad band at the same
time.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method and apparatus (400) for
iteratively decoding data which has been encoded with contatenated
codes. The apparatus (400) includes pipelined and cascaded
decoder processors (406, 430 and 436) connected to a multiple
block memory device (402), through a multiplexing and data control
block (404). A data decision element (437) is provided for
generating decoded output data. The method includes receiving
encoded data (802) while data already received is processed iteratively
by decoder processors in a pipelined fashion. Decoder
processors are designated to perform particular iterations (810)
of an iterative decoding process which are performed simultaneously.
Each of said decoder processors processes a subset of a
total number of decoding iterations. As a decoder processor completes
processing its designated iteration on a block of data,
the decoder processor outputs decoding information (808) to the
decoding processor designated to perform the subsequent iteration.
Upon completion of all iterations for a block of data, the
method includes generating output (814) consisting of the decoded
data block. The method provides that once processing is
complete on a data block, the memory block is made available
(816) for the storing of new encoded input data.
