Abstract: With respect to a coordinate designation device capable of detecting simultaneous operational input for a plurality of coordinates, occurrences of erroneous operations during textual input, etc., are suppressed. An elapsed time from a previous up operation up to a new down operation is calculated, and, if the calculated elapsed time is equal to or less than a threshold, an event for the input information is issued at the detected coordinates of the down operation. In addition, a traveled distance from coordinates at the time of starting input up to the current coordinates is calculated, and, if the calculated traveled distance is equal to or greater than a threshold, an event for the input start point is issued at the coordinates at the time of starting input.

Abstract: In the case where a base station other than of a distributed antenna system provides a time or frequency at which a transmitted power is low, an antenna group configuration unit estimates a communication area of a mobile station using an uplink reference signal that the mobile station transmits, calculates an inter-system interference power for the communication area of each mobile station based on a received power of the out-of-system base station that the each mobile station reports, calculates the inter-system interference power to each of antennas by averaging the inter-system interference powers that the multiple mobile stations report, and decides antennas that form an antenna group according to magnitudes of the calculated inter-system interference powers.

Abstract: Disclosed is a distributed antenna system that selects an antenna in accordance with the position of a mobile terminal and reduces the variation in the total number of mobile terminals using each antenna while maintaining adequate communication quality. In the distributed antenna system in which a large number of antennas are distributively disposed, an antenna group including antennas having good communication quality is selected in accordance with the position of a mobile terminal. Further, in accordance with the communication quality and load status of a current antenna group and with the communication quality and load status of a post-change antenna group, which is obtained by changing some antennas in the current antenna group, the post-change antenna group is formed by changing some antennas in the current antenna group with which a mobile terminal using a heavily loaded antenna communicates.

Abstract: Provided are a sulfated C-glycoside which is a novel compound serving as a precursor of chafuroside and chafuroside analogs; a method for efficiently producing the sulfated C-glycoside; and a method for efficiently producing chafuroside and chafuroside analogs using said sulfated C-glycoside. A sulfated C-glycoside represented by general formula (A1) or (B1) [wherein R1, R2 and R3 independently represent each a hydrogen atom or an OH group] is obtained by extracting tea leaves or tea tannins with water, a lower alcohol solvent having 1 to 3 carbon atoms or a liquid mixture comprising the same. Alternatively, the sulfated C-glycoside is produced by reacting a flavone C-glycoside such as isovitexin or vitexin with a sulfate group-introducing agent to thereby sulfate the flavone C-glycoside. By heating the sulfated C-glycoside thus obtained, chafuroside and chafuroside analogs are efficiently produced.

Abstract: A boat propelling system capable of determining an abnormality regarding steering of a propelling system main body includes an outboard engine main body, a steering section arranged to steer the outboard engine main body, a steering angle sensor arranged to detect a steering angle of the steering section, a pivot sensor arranged to detect an actual pivot angle of the outboard engine main body, and an ECU. The ECU calculates a target pivot angle change amount based on a target pivot angle derived from the steering angle and a baseline target pivot angle, calculates an actual pivot angle change amount based on the actual pivot angle and a baseline actual pivot angle, and obtains a gap amount between the target pivot angle change amount and the actual pivot angle change amount. Then, the ECU determines an abnormality regarding steering of the outboard engine main body based on a result of comparison between the gap amount and the first threshold value.
