Abstract: Disclosed is an animal tracking device, which is worn by an animal and tracks a location of the animal, the animal tracking device including: a location determining unit configured to determine a current location according to information received from a GPS antenna; a sensor configured to determine state information about the animal; a device identification information storing unit configured to store device identification information for identifying a device; a battery configured to supply power; a first communication unit configured to perform RF communication with a user's device; and a main control unit, which controls the device, and controls the first communication unit to communicate with the user's device through another animal tracking device registered in the user's device, and a system including the same and a method of tracking a location of an animal.

Abstract: A medical image diagnosis apparatus, comprises an image generator, a display, and a mechanism. The image generator is configured to generate a medical image. The display comprises a plurality of monitors and is configured to display the medical image. The mechanism is configured to change an arrangement of the plurality of monitors with respect to each of the monitors.

Abstract: A display device which enhances time-wise likelihood for a leak current from a floating memory node by increasing the number of writings of a voltage to a floating memory node. A vertical driver includes: a shift register including basic circuits which output common electrode driving pulses based on a transfer; and a common electrode driver including common basic circuits which receive the common electrode driving pulses and the transfer clock. Each common basic circuit includes: a circuit A which fetches an AC signal based on the common electrode driving pulse; a circuit B which outputs, based on the AC signal, a first common voltage or a second common voltage which differs from the first common voltage in voltage level to the common electrodes corresponding to the AC signal; and a circuit C which holds a state of the circuit B based on the transfer clock.

Abstract: An information carrier for holding user information includes access information for accessing the user information, the access information being stored in a pre-determined first region on the information carrier. The information carrier further includes at least one further region different from the first region, the further region comprising dummy information.

Abstract: A light source, an objective lens, and an astigmatism generation element producing for light for focus control, and an optical receiver are provided. The astigmatism generation element is interposed between the objective lens and the optical receiver and produces focal points in front of and behind the optical receiver within two mutually orthogonal cross-sectional planes including an optical axis of the reflected light. The astigmatism generation element is a Fresnel mirror that has a plurality of orbicular zones and steps connecting adjacent orbicular zones to each other and that takes the orbicular zones as reflecting mirrors. A depth “d” of the steps is set substantially one-half of a wavelength ?, and a depth d1 of the innermost orbicular zone of the orbicular zones is made larger than the depth d of the steps. The influence of the steps of the Fresnel mirror is minimized, so that a superior servo characteristic can be exhibited.

Abstract: A multiple-domain processing system includes a multi-dimensional switching fabric to provide intra-domain and inter-domain communication within the system.

Abstract: A system for detecting hazardous agents is based on cellular telephone networks. The cellular telephones in public circulation have at least one detector for detecting at least one hazardous agent and broadcast alarm packets upon detecting the hazardous agent. A computer or computer network interconnected with telephones by the cellular telephone network processes the alarm packets and sets an alarm condition for the hazardous agent in a vicinity of the cellular telephone by calculations based upon alarm packets from other telephones with detectors for the hazardous agent in the vicinity. A map of the contaminated area is also created.

Abstract: A system and method for providing one hardware platform to implement multiple wireless communication standards, services and applications. The kernel oriented macro based software defined radio (SDR) architecture provides a configurable and programmable hardware platform to implement multiple wireless communication standards, services and applications.

Abstract: Disclosed is a mobile radio communication system in which a position registration area number is reported from a base station to a mobile station within a radio zone, position information indicating a position registration area in which a mobile station resides is registered in storage means based upon position registration information that has been transmitted from the mobile station, and when there is an incoming call to a mobile station, a paging call is placed from a plurality of base stations within the position registration area, in which the base station resides, based upon position information that has been read out of the memory means. Updating of the position registration area of a mobile station can be performed automatically on the network side without the mobile station transmitting position registration information to the network side.

Abstract: A system and method are disclosed for a Java X font server, capable of displaying high quality text images on a remote display over a network based on the X Window graphical interface. This system and method avoids reliance on the rasterizer in the X server. The Java X font server runs in the client computer and creates the glyphs corresponding to the text to be displayed, using the high performance font rasterizer within the JVM. When the client needs to display text, it makes a request of the X server. If the necessary glyphs are not locally available in the X server, the request is relayed to the Java X font server. The Java X font server then generates the glyphs and transmits them to the X server, where they are cached for subsequent use.
