Abstract: To provide a multicopter that enables it to prevent generation of a vortex ring state of a rotor and control lift and thrust efficiently and elaborately. This is solved by a multicopter having a plurality of rotors installed radially to a frame, wherein at least one of the plurality of rotors is provided with a cylindrical duct surrounding and enclosing the rotor; and the duct is formed in a shape making an air flow from an air intake side to an air outlet side of the rotor imbalanced in a circumferential direction of the duct.

Abstract: An optical disc device includes a control part for causing processing of determining a type of an optical disc to be executed. The processing caused by the control part to be executed for determining the optical disc includes: signal acquisition processing of acquiring a pull-in signal (sum signal of reflected signal) and an RF signal (reproduced signal) by moving an objective lens in either of a direction approaching the optical disc and a direction separating from the optical disc; and determination processing of deciding whether or not to correct the pull-in signal acquired in the signal acquisition processing and determining the type of the optical disc by using either of amplitude of the acquired pull-in signal and a correction value with which the amplitude of the acquired pull-in signal is corrected by using a predetermined value obtained from the acquired RF signal.

Abstract: An optical disc apparatus corrects spherical aberration by moving a movable lens along an optical axis direction.

Abstract: When an optical disc is mounted therein, an optical disc apparatus measures a tilt angle of an objective lens for an outer radial position on the optical disc, i.e., an outer tilt angle. Based on the outer tilt angle as measured and a preset inner tilt angle, the apparatus calculates a relationship between radial positions on the optical disc and tilt angles corresponding to the respective radial positions. In recording or reading data on or from the optical disc, the apparatus tilts the objective lens, according to the calculated relationship, at a tilt angle corresponding to a data recording position or a data reading position.

Abstract: Interference between adjacent sections is prevented in an optical wireless communication system, in which a center device is capable of concurrently communicating through lines with a plurality of parent devices each disposed in one of the sections into which a communication area of the system is divided and each of the parent devices communicates with a plurality of child devices disposed in the same section where said parent device is disposed. The sections is grouped into some groups of sections which do not adjoin each other. Optical wireless communications are done only within one group of sections in each communication period. Some techniques for improving the effect of communication are disclosed.

Abstract: This invention provides a cardiac rehabilitation agent comprising at least one species of the class consisting of purine nucleoside and purine nucleotide, e.g. a composition comprising inosine, cytidine, uridine, a salt of guanosine 5'-monophosphate, and thymidine in a molar ratio of 4:4:3:4:1. The cardiac rehabilitation agent of this invention is characterized by excellent cardiac function-restorative activity and no risk of side effect.
