Abstract: A disease-symptom-combination DB storing information obtained by combining each of disease name elements indicative of diseases with one or more symptom elements each indicative of a symptom, and a disease-care-combination DB storing information obtained by combining each of the disease name elements with a plurality of care elements each indicative of a care are stored in a storing unit. A server control unit recognizes one or more symptom elements from the symptom information and detects one disease name element combined with all of the symptom elements from the disease-symptom-combination DB. Further, a plurality of care elements combined with the one disease name element are detected from the disease-care-combination DB. Disease care information obtained by combining the one disease name element with the plurality of care elements is generated and visibly output in a display unit.

Abstract: An interference fringe pattern (ILR) between an inline spherical wave light (L) and an off-axis reference light (R) is recorded with a photo detector (4), and on which spatial-frequency filtering is applied to obtain a complex amplitude in-line hologram (JLR). A complex amplitude off-axis hologram (JOR) is derived by performing a spatial frequency filtering on a hologram (IOR) in which an object light (O) emitted from a microscopic subject illuminated with a spherical wave light (L) is recorded with a reference light (R), and the derived data is divided with data of the hologram (JLR) so that a complex amplitude in-line hologram (JOL) from which a component of the reference light (R) is eliminated is generated and recorded.

Abstract: A method for generating a complex amplitude in-line hologram and an image recording device using said method makes it possible to realize high-speed processing and high-speed recording from a single off-axis hologram without limiting the spatial frequency band and without creating errors from interpolation. The complex amplitude in-line hologram is generated by performing the following in order: the acquisition of data for one off-axis hologram obtained by way of off-axis holography, and for an off-axis reference light used for obtaining the hologram; the setting of a reconstruction in-line reference light; a modulation process for performing spatial heterodyne modulation on the hologram on the basis of the phases of the reference lights; and a filtering process for performing spatial frequency filtering on the hologram modulated by the modulation process. Because spatial sampling is not performed, the limits on the viewing angle are relaxed.

Abstract: On a silicon layer of an SOI wafer is defined a semiconductor device-forming region to form semiconductor devices thereon and an insulating region to electrically insulate the semiconductor device-forming region. Then, a mask layer is formed of nitride by means of photolithography so as to cover the semiconductor device-forming region. Then, an impurities-removing layer is formed by means of well known technique so as to cover the mask layer and embed the gaps between the adjacent masks of the mask layer. The impurities of the silicon layer of the SOI wafer are absorbed and removed by the distorted layer, the grain boundaries and the lattice defects of the impurities-removing layer.

Abstract: This disclosure deals with ettringite whiskers, methods of synthesizing such whiskers and ettringite whisker composites. The ettringite whiskers, having a new crystal form, are 1-2 .mu.m in diameter, 50-100 .mu.m in length and approximately 30-50 of aspect ratio. The ettringite whiskers are especially useful in industry as a high tensile strength reinforcement, they increase self-extinguishability and the productive capacity of making sheets, boards of the like.
