Abstract: To prepare a decorated printed matter, which excels in the visibility of the spin line or hairline pattern and which gives an appropriate metallic luster. A decorated printed matter which comprises: a plastic plate 1 with a light permeability, the plastic plate 1 is made of poly carbonate and is provided a convexo-concave pattern consists of a plurality of fine grooves 2 in the form of spin line on a rear-side surface 1b thereof; an ink coating 3 covering the convexo-concave pattern; and the ink coating 3 is formed by removing a solvent from an ink composition coated on the rear-side surface 1b of the plastic plate, the ink composition includes a carbon black and a binder; the average ratio of carbon black to binder is determined such that the distribution of the black pigment in the ink coating becomes the distribution by which an incident light incoming into the resin substrate from the front-side surface thereof reflects at an interface between the resin substrate and the ink coating.

Abstract: A plurality of thermoplastic articles are superimposed against a support, an infrared transparent solid is superimposed to form a superimposed body and infrared is irradiated to the superimposed body from the side of the infrared transparent solid. For the irradiation source, an Er: YAG laser or fiber laser is used. The interface temperature of the thermoplastic article becomes relatively lower and a high temperature region can be developed within the superimposed body due to the infiltration of laser energy. As a result, degradation of the surface configuration due to thermal damages in the infrared irradiation side surface layer of the thermoplastic articles can be suppressed.

Abstract: The present invention provides a novel measurement method for system parameters of a 5-port junction used in a VNA (Vector Network Analyzer). A VNA is a device for measuring amplitude ratios and phase differences (S-parameters: scattering matrix elements) between incident waves and reflected waves of a DUT (Device Under Test), or between input waves and transmitted waves. What has been newly discovered is that for 5 ports, S-parameters can be expressed by a linear coupling using H and power difference ratios ({P(S)/P(0)}?1). It is possible to easily calculate parameter H using a minimum of three already known standards, and amount of calculation can be reduced compared to conventionally.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a compound having a structure analogous to firefly luciferin. In particular, the invention relates to a heterocycle compound which produces a luminescence at a light wavelength different from that of firefly luciferin in nature. The present invention provides a heterocycle compound of following general formula I. In the above general formula, R1, R2 and R3 can be each independently H or C1-4-alkyl. In the above general formula, X and Y can be each independently C, N, S or O. In the above general formula, the olefin chain part expressed as “n” can be changed to desired length.

Abstract: A grinder includes a generally vertical, rotatable shaft having at least one set of cutter blades driven thereby and a fan assembly mounted on the shaft below the cutter blades in position to receive output therefrom. The fan assembly includes a fan disc secured to the shaft and rotatable therewith. Fan blades are secured to the fan disc in a generally radial orientation. Each fan blade includes a bottom flange secured to a top surface of the fan disc, a web extending upwardly from the bottom flange and a top flange extending outwardly from the web in a direction of rotation of the fan disc. The fan blades are preferably moveably mounted to the fan disc such that the angle of the fan blades relative to a true radial orientation can be adjusted.

Abstract: The invention relates to a system and a method of plating metal alloys, as well as to the structures thus obtained. The system for plating metal alloys comprises an electrolytic cell containing an electrolytic solution (3) in which an anode (4,4a,4b), a cathode (5), and a plurality of metal components to be plated onto the cathode are immersed, the anode (4,4a,4b) and the cathode (5) being electrically connected to means (6) adapted to apply a potential difference between said anode (4,4a,4b) and said cathode (5). The invention is characterized in that the means (6) adapted to apply a potential difference between said cathode (5) and said anode (4,4a,4b) impose a potential difference value that changes over time according to a predefined law.

Abstract: To provide a human relationships registering system, a method and a server for registering human relationships, a program for registering human relationships, and a medium storing human relationships registering program and readable by a computer, all of which are used to establish wide and close relationships with members having a variety of occupations or engaged in various technical fields and to obtain expert knowledge or information. The human relationships registering system comprises first data processing units 2 and 3 including sections for receiving personal data of a new member, and a second data processing unit including a section for storing the received personal data. The second data processing unit stores the personal data of the new member in correlation to an existing member when the existing member confirms the new member.

Abstract: To provide a system for grasping a working state of engaged workers via a space-saving low-cost communication network even when there is no space for placing a dedicated terminal device used for a network time recorder or it is impossible to employ the dedicated terminal device because of the cost. A working information generation device (10) generates and outputs working information including generation device information for each predetermined time with different contents. Next, the working information outputted is acquired by a working information acquisition device (20). The acquisition device information is added to the working information so as to obtain working information, which is sent to a predetermined working information collection device (30).

Abstract: A lane departure warning system (LDWS) installed on vehicles is revealed. The LDWS includes a camera that captures road images and the data of images is sent to an electronic control unit (ECU) for processing and recognition. The ECU is directly connected with a global positioning system (GPS) that provides vehicle speed signals so as to check whether dangerous driving occurs. Once the dangerous driving occurs, a warning unit is turned on to send an alert. The conventional LDWS that complicatedly connects with vehicles parts such as turn signal lights or speedometers is replaced by connection with a GPS. Thus the convenience of installation of LDWS in vehicles is improved.

Abstract: Currently available network virtualization solutions are either specifically tailored for wired networks composed of nodes with very large processing power and storage space.
