A base station apparatus is a base station apparatus that performs wireless communications with a mobile station apparatus, and has a first array antenna 201 having a down tilt angle of ?1 to perform MIMO (Multiple Input Multiple Output), and a second array antenna 202 having a down tilt angle of ?2 smaller than that of the first array antenna 201 to perform beam forming.
Abstract: There is provided a display device capable of displaying an image that barely changes with low power consumption on the basis of video data included in a transmitted command, and there is also provided a method for driving the same. A display timing controller (31) determines every frame period whether or not an externally transmitted command includes updated video data. As a result, when it is determined that no updated video data is included, screen refreshing is paused by not reading video data stored in frame memory (36). Moreover, when it is determined that updated video data is included, the screen refreshing is performed by reading video data stored in the frame memory (36).

Abstract: The invention herein is directed to immunoassays for the detection of A?42 oligomers. The inventive assays are based on the observations herein that the presence of A?42 oligomers in a preparation is directly related to a decrease in a C-terminal (CT) immunosignal and a correlated increase in an N-terminal (NT) immunosignal, relative to the immunosignal generated in the absence of A?42 oligomers, in an A?42 CT and NT ELISA assay and an A?42 CT AlphaLISA assay. The invention herein involves the use of these assays alone or in combination to screen for inhibitors of A?42 oligomerization.

Abstract: A prediction set determining section selects a prediction set from a prediction set group including a plurality of prediction sets having different combinations of prediction modes corresponding to different prediction directions. Further, a prediction mode determining section selects a prediction mode from the prediction set thus selected. An entropy encoding section encodes the prediction set thus selected, the prediction mode thus selected, and residual data between an input image and a predicted image formed on the basis of the prediction set and the prediction mode. This allows an image encoding device to carry out predictions from more various angles, thereby improving prediction efficiency.

Abstract: Unevenness in brightness of a plane light source is controlled to improve a display quality of a plane light source. An LED module comprising one or a plurality of light source sections with a high brightness peak value and a large light and dark contrast difference, and an LED module comprising one or a plurality of light source sections with a low brightness peak value and a small light and dark contrast difference, are alternately arranged.
