In 1600 , at the Battle of Sekigahara he and his father sided with Tokugawa Ieyasu ’ s Eastern Army , while his brother Nobutake fought on the side of Ishida Mitsunari ’ s Western Army . This was the same stratagem as employed by the Sanada clan to ensure the clan ’ s survival no matter which side won . As a reward for his services , Nobuhira was given a 2000 " koku " fief in Kōzuke Province . On his father ’ s death in 1607 , he became head of the Tsugaru clan , over the objections of a faction which supported his nephew Tsugaru Kumachiyo ( 1600 – 1623 ) , the young son of Nobutake . This was the first of many " O - Ie Sōdō " internal conflicts within the Tsugaru clan during the Edo period . From 1609 - 1611 , Nobuhira rushed to complete Hirosaki Castle , demolishing other castles in his domains for buildings and materials to speed up construction . The completed castle , with its huge donjon was on a scale far larger than typical for a 47 , 000 " koku " daimyo . To secure his position vis - à - vis the Tokugawa shogunate , he married Tokugawa Ieyasu ’ s niece ( the widow of Fukushima Masayuki ) , Mate - hime ( 1589 – 1638 ) .

In 1614 , Nobuhira dispatched his forces in support of the Tokugawa at the Osaka Winter Campaign , but was ordered initially remain on garrison duty in Edo before being told to return to his home domain to guard against unrest from other northern domains who might come out in support of the Toyotomi . In June 1619 , Ieyasu demoted Fukushima Masanori from Hiroshima Domain to Hirosaki Domain , with the Tsugaru clan ordered to be transferred to Echigo Province . The Tsugaru clan strongly protested this move , and through the assistance of the influential priest Nankōbō Tenkai were able to get the Fukushima clan transferred to Nakajima Domain in Shinano Province instead . In August 1628 , Nobuhira renamed his castle from " Takaoka " to " Hirosaki " . He also developed Aomori port on Mutsu Bay as a main port for shipping to Edo , and for transit to the northern island of Ezo . He also took steps to increase the rice production in his province by developing new paddy field s , irrigation , and by bringing in craftsmen and artisans from other parts of Japan . Nobuhira died on January 14 , 1631 at the clan residence in Edo . His grave is at the temple of Juyo - in in Taitō - ku , Tokyo . Nobuhira was succeeded by his eldest son , Tsugaru Nobuyoshi , by his first wife Tatsuhime . Nobuhira had nine sons and four daughters . His second son , Tsugaru Nobufusa , by his second wife Mate - hime was given a 5000 " koku " holding in Kuroishi , and was the ancestor of the future " daimyō " of Kuroishi Domain .

Avro 527 The Avro 527 was the last Avro two - seat fighter derivative of the basic 504 design . It was built early in 1916 for trial by the Royal Flying Corps , with the features of the RNAS Avro 504G but with a much more powerful engine ; it did not reach production . Design and development . The RNAS Avro 504G was a 80 hp ( 60 kW ) Gnome rotary - engined version of the Avro 504B with forward firing Vickers guns and a Scarff - ring mounted Lewis gun in the rear cockpit . The Avro 527 was a version of the 504G intended for the RFC with the much more powerful , 150 hp ( 112 hp ) Sunbeam Nubian water - cooled engine . It used standard 504K wings and central skid , single axle undercarriage . Naval 504s had mostly been fitted with a vertical tail with a generous fixed fin , in contrast to RFC machines with the all moving , comma shaped rudder , and the 527 retained the fin from its 504G predecessor . The engine installation was very different from other 504s , though similar to that of the Avro 519 which used the same engine . There were two tall , almost vertical exhaust pipes , one from each bank of the upright V - eight Nubian , discharging just above the upper wing . Its radiator was mounted edge on ( longitudinally ) between the wings on the starboard side . The 527 first flew sometime in 1916 . A version with wings of 6 ft ( 1 . 83 m ) span was considered , the 527A , but there is no record of it flying . Operational history . When trialled by the RFC , pilots found that it did not climb well and that their view was obscured by the large engine , its radiator and exhausts . As a result , production was discontinued and only one aircraft was ever built .
Land mobile radio system Land mobile radio system ( LMRS ) , also called public land mobile radio or private land mobile radio , is a term that denotes a wireless communications system intended for use by terrestrial users in vehicles ( mobiles ) or on foot ( portables ) . Such systems are used by emergency first responder organizations , public works organizations , or companies with large vehicle fleets or numerous field staff . Such a system can be independent , but often can be connected to other fixed systems such as the public switched telephone network ( PSTN ) or cellular network s . Military use . The land mobile radio system is also the United States Department of Defense ' s new state - of - the - art communication system . Government contractors , such as Cassidian Communications , Relm Wireless Corporation , Harris Corporation , Kenwood Communications , Motorola , Raytheon , Thales , and Tyco Electronics , provide the latest in LMRS technology to the government and military . Commercial use . Many businesses and industries throughout the world use LMR as their primary means of communication , especially from a fixed location to mobile users ( i . e . from a base site to a fleet of mobiles ) . Commercial LMR Radios are typically available in two VHF and the UHF frequency bands . 30−50 MHz ( sometimes called " Low VHF Band " or " Low Band " ) , 150−172 MHz ( sometimes called " High VHF Band " or " High Band " ) , 450−470 MHz ( called , simply , " UHF " for " Ultra High Frequencies " , a term created in the 1950s ) . Many larger populated areas have additional UHF frequencies from 470−490 MHz , and 490−512 MHz . Low band has longer range capability , but requires mobile antennas as long as nine feet ( 2 . 7 m ) tall . VHF bands works well in outdoor environments , over bodies of water , and many other applications . UHF bands typically perform better in urban environments and with penetrating obstacles such as buildings . There are also frequencies in the 800 and 900 MHz range available . Commercial , public safety and government users are required to obtain FCC licensing in the United States and must follow Government law . Interference in the spectrum . In November 2005 , many automatic garage doors in Ottawa , Canada , had suddenly , and strangely , stopped working , due to a powerful radio signal that appears to be interfering with the remote controls that open them . In the summer of 2004 , garage door operators noticed similar phenomena around U . S . military bases . The strong radio signals on the 390 - megahertz band simply overpower the garage door openers . One technician likened it to a whisper competing with a yell .
