Abstract: An aeration-less water treatment system includes an anaerobic treatment tank which subjects sewage supplied by a pump to anaerobic treatment by causing the sewage to upflow, and an aerobic treatment tank which subjects anaerobically treated water to aerobic treatment by letting the anaerobically treated water to downflow by natural downflow. The aerobic treatment tank includes an aerobic filter bed section in which carriers to which aerobic microorganisms are adhered are arranged. The aerobic filter bed section subjects the anaerobically treated water to decomposition treatment by putting the anaerobic treatment water in contact with the aerobic microorganisms adhered to surfaces of the carriers. The aerobic filter bed section is provided with an air port which takes in air into under normal pressure, thereby activating the aerobic microorganisms.

Abstract: When retransmission requests are issued based on the results of error-correction decoding of received data packets to perform data transmission, statistical information indicating whether received data packets have been successfully decoded or have not been decoded is acquired, and based on the rate at which correct decoding has been made or the rate at which correct decoding has not been made, which is obtained from the statistical information, a request is transmitted to the transmission source to change the window size, which is the number of data units handled in a predetermined layer, so that when for example the communication environment is not excellent, processing can be performed at a small window size, and the occurrence of circumstances in which data retransmission and the discarding of received data are repeated can be efficiently prevented.

Abstract: In a case of being judged that a compressed mode is applied in a mobile terminal, if it is judged that reception quality during data communication is favorable, gap intervals are not created by passing through a processing of gap interval creation. Further, if the data communication over the HS-DSCH is performed, the data communication over the HS-DSCH is continued. This prevents degradation of data transmission rate over a channel for high speed data transmission service, in the presence of a mobile terminal in a favorable reception quality area.

Abstract: The present invention provides a vacuum film formation method for forming a deposition layer by facing a deposition source, which emits a deposition material, and a substrate towards each other; moving the deposition source and the substrate relatively to each other, while keeping an interval between the deposition source and the substrate; and depositing the deposition material from the deposition source onto the substrate. The vacuum film formation method includes the steps of: emitting the deposition material of a constant width from the deposition source in the shape of a strip; and moving the deposition source and the substrate relatively to each other in directions including a first direction, which is orthogonal to a width direction of the strip of the deposition material emitted in the shape of the strip, and a second direction different from the first direction.

Abstract: A mask is interposed between a deposition source and a substrate for deposition. The mask has an opening for permitting a deposition material emitted from the deposition source to pass therethrough and forming a deposition layer of a desired pattern on the substrate. The mask includes a mask body and a heating member. The mask body has the opening. The heating member is heated during deposition and is arranged on a side of the mask body facing the deposition source. The heating member has an opening which corresponds substantially to the opening of the mask body.

Abstract: A receiving apparatus is used in a mobile communication system transmits and receives spread spectrum signals between a base station and a mobile station, in which the timing detection region of a spread spectrum signal is set in accordance with the intermittent receiving period. If it is difficult for the mobile station to establish synchronization with the base station over a long intermittent receiving period due to errors accumulated in the oscillator of the mobile station, the window serving as the search area is expanded. Accordingly, the capability of detecting the timing is increased, and errors of the oscillator are compensated. Thus a, re-synchronizing operation and intermittent receiving operation are reliably performed. As a consequence, even by the use of a low-precision and simple-structured oscillator in the mobile station, a low-powered receiving apparatus in which an intermittent receiving operation having a longer period is provided.

Abstract: When a request is generated for shift from continuous to intermittent reception, the mobile-station transmitter/receiver calculates a start timing of a slot allocated thereto (Tstart), compares it with a concurrent time when the request has been generated (Tnow), and when it is not possible to have a time of preparation required for starting a reception in the slot by the start timing of a nearest slot (Tstart), the mobile-station maintains the continuous reception until the slot ends (Tend).

Abstract: When a distortion is compensated by a predistorter method, a distortion can satisfactorily be compensated by a simple arrangement. A limit operation can be made in such a manner that when a generated predistortion signal is held at a value smaller than a first level, this predistortion signal is not added to an input signal and that when a generated predistortion signal is held at a value larger than a second level which is larger than the first level, this predistortion signal is added to an input signal as a predetermined fixed value.

Abstract: With respect to each of received signals from a plurality of base stations, an average value is calculated by using detected reception energy and reception energy detected in the past to determine a received signal to be demodulated by comparing the average values. Thereby a further accurate reception energy can be obtained compared to with the case of simply detecting reception energy, even if the detected reception energy temporarily and greatly varies, thus further avoiding malfunction compared to the prior art.
