Abstract: The present invention relates to a graft copolymer of a poly(amino acid) or a salt thereof and a hydrophobic primary amine compound or a salt thereof (e.g., a graft copolymer (?-PGA-PAE) of poly(?-glutamic acid) (?-PGA) and phenylalanine ethyl ester (PAE)), an ionized graft copolymer of a poly(amino acid) or a salt thereof and a hydrophobic primary amine compound or a salt thereof, nanoparticles containing the ionized graft copolymer, and a production method thereof. The nanoparticles acquired in this way are useful as an adjuvant for producing a vaccine.

Abstract: A disclosed visitor information system includes a processor programmed to execute a process including registering, as group information for groups of visitors, group identification information of a group, and medium identification information of authentication media owned by respective visitors, and registering, upon authentication being normally performed by the login operation using the authentication medium, identification information or locational information of an apparatus via which a first visitor has performed a login operation in visitor information corresponding to the group information based on the medium identification information; and acquiring, upon authentication being normally performed by the login operation using the authentication medium, locational information of a second visitor belonging to the same group as the first visitor from the group information, based on the medium identification information and the group identification information to provide the first visitor with information in

Abstract: Disclosed is a wireless communication device capable of improving the properties of an interference canceller and improving reception performance without increase in circuit scale and without increase in power consumption. In the device, a channel estimation unit (301) obtains the channel estimation value of each path and the dispersion value of the channel estimation value for each cell from a received signal subjected to multipath phasing. A channel power calculation unit (303) calculates the cell-based power sum of the power of the channel estimation value of each path. A received signal power calculation unit (304) calculates the received power of the received signal. An index calculation unit (305) calculates a thermal noise power index on the basis of the channel estimation value, the dispersion value, the power sum, and the received power, and calculates the received power index of an interference cell on the basis of the channel estimation value, the dispersion value, and the received power.

Abstract: A tilt angle sensor detects a tilt angle of a vehicle and outputs a tilt angle signal indicative of the tilt angle. A tire-side communication element is disposed on a tire of the vehicle, and sends a reply signal in response to the tilt angle signal. A chassis-side communication element communicates with the tire-side communication element. A controller starts a communication between the tire-side and the chassis-side communication elements when the tilt angle signal is equal to or larger than a predetermined threshold. The controller determines that the tire is stolen when the chassis-side communication element disables to receive the reply signal from the tire-side communication element.

Abstract: When windows are synthesized or the like in different frame memories or in the same frame memory, source data on the shifting side and destination data on the shift destination side are read out. After the source data was shifted so as to match the data positions, a bit arithmetic operation is executed between the shifted source data and the destination data. Four source data registers, two destination registers, and two bit operating sections are provided. The source data stored in a certain source register is shifted and a bit arithmetic operation is executed between the shifted source data and the destination data. In parallel with the bit arithmetic operation, the source data to be processed next is read out from the frame memory and stored into the source register. No idling state occurs in the memory access of the source data.

Abstract: A hydraulic circuit for a tilt and trim unit of a marine outboard drive including an improved relief valve that has application in other uses. The relief valve includes a movable valve seat member and a movable valve member and the valve member is urged by the fluid pressure to be relieved into engagement with the valve seat member so that the seating pressure increases as the fluid pressure increases. When the set pressure is reached, the valve seat member is permitted to move away from the valve member, which is then held by a stop, so as to provide pressure relief.

Abstract: Two embodiments of hydraulic tilt and trim units that include a manually operable valve for permitting flow between the chambers of the fluid motors so as to facilitate manual adjustment. In one embodiment, the valve is also automatically operable and is connected to the system so that it can relieve pressure in either of the chambers under impact.

Abstract: A hydraulically operated tilt and trim system having an arrangement for permitting retraction of the trim cylinders when the outboard drive is in its tilted up out of the water condition. An arrangement for bleeding air from the system and for adding make up fluid to the system through the trim retraction circuit.
