  • Patent number: 8597691
    Abstract: An anti-hypothermia composition is provided, in particular an anti-hypothermia composition that prevents hypothermia caused by general anesthesia during surgical operations. The composition prevents hypothermia by preventing the decrease in the biological function of patients and correcting acidosis. Specifically, the anti-hypothermia composition is a preparation containing a bicarbonate ion and provided in the form of an infusion fluid. The infusion fluid preferably contains sodium bicarbonate as a major component that serves as a source of the bicarbonate ion, along with each or a combination of other electrolytes, glucose and amino acids.

  • Patent number: 8160633
    Abstract: A control section 100 measures a DPCH_RSCP and a DPCH-ISCP of every path, and calculates a DPCH_RSCP and a DPCH-ISCP for every wireless link. The control section 100 then calculates a DPCH_SIR for every wireless link, and calculates a difference in the DPCH_SIR between wireless links. In the case where the calculated difference in the DPCH_SIR is smaller than a preset threshold value of the DPCH_SIR difference, received TPC data are discarded, and the control section 100 does not execute transmitted power control based on the TPC data. On the other hand, in the case where the calculated difference in the DPCH_SIR is larger than the preset threshold value of the difference in the DPCH_SIR, the control section 100 carries out the transmitted power control based on the TPC data with the wireless link whose DPCH_SIR is larger.

  • Publication number: 20090264143
    Abstract: A mobile device which can reduce an error rate in phase determination in antenna verification and intend to improve a reception performance is obtained. When a more likely phase difference is selected from two predetermined candidate phase differences, based on correlation values between a received signal from a first antenna of a BTS and respective signals in which a received signal from a second antenna of the BTS has been phase-rotated by the two predetermined candidate phase differences respectively, a weighting processing unit 16 of the mobile device performs a weighting process with respect to the above described correlation values so that the more likely candidate phase difference may be easily selected based on information on a phase difference between the first and second antennas notified from the BTS.

  • Publication number: 20080268923
    Abstract: In a folding rotary portable terminal, a first case having a display section for at least displaying information and side face keys and are coupled to a second case having at least a camera section and side face keys and through a hinge part having at least two degrees of freedom in rotation, namely open/close and orthogonal directions. When the first case is rotated by 180° about the rotary shaft of the hinge part from an opened state of the first case and the second case to a folding state where the first case is superposed on the second case with the display section directed outward, the side face keys on the different side faces of the first case and the second case come to the same side. Thus, even in the folding state, various functions can be operated easily.

  • Patent number: 6555975
    Abstract: A main lens includes a second segment, a sixth grid and an additional electrode disposed between the second segment and the sixth grid. A first-level constant voltage and a second-level constant voltage are applied to the second segment and sixth grid, respectively. A third-level voltage, which is at a level between the first level and the second level, is applied to the additional electrode. In accordance with the increase in a deflection amount of an electric beam, the third-level voltage varies as a value expressed by ((voltage to the additional electrode)−(voltage to the second segment))/((voltage to the sixth grid)−(voltage to the second segment)). An auxiliary lens having lenses including a third grid and a first segment has a focusing power decreasing in accordance with an increase in the deflection amount of the electron beam.

  • Patent number: 6489736
    Abstract: An electron gun assembly has at least one additional electrode located along the equipotential plane of a potential distribution formed between a focusing electrode and anode electrode forming a main lens. In a no-deflection state, the additional electrode receives a voltage of a predetermined level corresponding to the potential of the equipotential plane on which the additional electrode is located. In a deflection state, letting Vf be the application voltage of the focusing electrode, Eb be the application voltage of the anode electrode, and Vs be the application voltage of the addition electrode, a value (Vs−Vf)/(Eb−Vf) changes with an increase in electron beam deflection amount, while the additional electrode forms an electron lens having different focusing powers in the horizontal direction and vertical direction.
