Abstract: An objective is to provide a novel preparation method for a conductive ZnO film which realizes large area and mass productions with low costs and low environment loads. The crystal of zinc oxide (ZnO) is deposited on a substrate by a precipitation method using liquidous solution method under the presence of citric acid. The citric acid adsorbs on the surface of (0001) face of ZnO to suppress anisotropic growth to a c axis direction of the crystal in the precipitation reaction and to form dense crystal film on the surface of the substrate. Then, the organic acid incorporated in the film is photo-decomposed by irradiating UV light to the prepared ZnO crystalline film. As the result, carriers trapped by the organic acid is released to the crystalline film so as to provide an adequate conductivity.

Abstract: Conventionally, when a mobile phone receives an incoming call and no response is made to the call, the user can only recognize the name or phone number of a caller, plus the incoming time, by the incoming call history list. Also, if no response is made to an incoming call in the call waiting function, the user cannot identify the caller later. The present communication apparatus displays an image of a caller of an incoming call to which no response has been made after reception of the incoming call ends. This makes it possible for the user to identify the caller by the image. Further, the present communication apparatus displays an image of a caller of an incoming call in the call waiting function after the conversation ends. This enables the user to identify the caller later.

Abstract: With a mobile terminal which is adapted to receive a message transmitted by radio through the telephone network and to store the message in the nonvolatile member and to show the message on a display, when energized, checksum for the message stored in the nonvolatile memory is calculated to store the result in a RAM. When a message is thereafter received, checksum for the received message is compared with a plurality of checksums stored in the RAM, respectively. The subject to be compared is the only stored message having the same checksum as that for the received message, and the messages are compared. When the messages are same, the received message is stored in the nonvolatile memory by overwrite. As a result, a check for a message duplicate can be performed within a shorter period of time.

Abstract: An intraocular lens structure for reducing complications is disclosed. The intraocular lens structure comprises an optic, a support and a closing fixture. The closing fixture is a groove or a valley formed on the side portion of the optic of the intraocular lens. The valley is formed by the optic and a protrusion projecting posteriorly from the optic. The groove or the valley in the optic is made engaged with the posterior capsular opening generally over the entire circumference of the groove or the valley to close the opening of the posterior capsule.

Abstract: A simulation device is provided with a speed ratio determining portion and a speed determining portion for calculating the maximum feeding speed of an operative part from an interference detecting distance and an interpolation period, and replacing the feeding speed of the operative part, which is read out by a program analyzing portion, with the maximum feeding speed; and an interpolating portion for determining interpolated points of a moving path of the operative part from the feeding speed of the operative part, which is replaced by the maximum feeding speed by the speed ratio determining portion and the speed determining portion, and the interpolation period. An interference check on the operative part is made at an interpolated point determined by the interpolating portion.

Abstract: With a mobile terminal which is adapted to receive a message transmitted by radio through the telephone network and to store the message in the nonvolatile memory 9 and to show the message on a display 11, when energized, checksum for the message stored in the nonvolatile memory 9 is calculated to store the result in a RAM 8. When a message is thereafter received, checksum for the received message is compared with a plurality of checksums stored in the RAM 8, respectively. The subject to be compared is only stored message having the same checksum as that for the received message, and the messages are compared. When the messages are same, the received message is stored in the nonvolatile memory 9 by overwrite. As a result, check for a message duplicate can be performed within a shorter period of time.

Abstract: Posterior capsular opacification can be prevented by modulating focal contacts, which mediate adhesion between lens epithelial cells and the lens capsule, using a treating solution containing a focal contact-modulating substance or a proenzyme, such as Lys-plasminogen, which is introduced into the lens capsular bag during cataract surgery. To secure the passage of a treating solution between the lens epithelial cells, a calcium chelating agent, such as ethylenediamine tetraacetic acid CEDTA), is included in a treating solution. To limit the effect of the treating solution to lens epithelial cells prior to, during, and/or after capsulotomy, an inhibitor, such as &ohgr;-amino acid, can be introduced into the anterior chamber before the treating solution as a mixture with a viscoelastic material, such as sodium hyaluronate, or into the lens capsular bag without a viscoelastic material during capsulotomy.

Abstract: A method for synchronously interlocking feed axes of a lathe is disclosed. In particular, a numerical controller (NC) controls the operation of a lathe by sending position command signals to servo amplifiers. The lathe turns a long workpiece chucked by two opposed headstocks which are driven synchronously. The servo amplifiers send signals to corresponding directional servo motors for moving the headstocks in respective directions. The present invention overcomes the problems of mechanical and workpiece displacement developed as loads on the servo motors by compensating for the positions of the feed axes by means of position offset values determined from the displacement of the machine or workpiece. Specifically, the displacements are detected in accordance with a difference between the torque of the two feed axes to be controlled for synchronous interlocking.
