Abstract: A terminal structure and a universal low noise blockdown converter having a multiple number of terminals for receiving a radio wave signal transmitted from satellites and converting it to an intermediate-frequency signal. The terminal structure includes: a terminal joint module having a multiple number of cylindrical outer conductors each having a core conductor inside the cylinder and a plate-like attachment base on which the cylindrical outer conductors are put together, wherein the outer conductors and the attachment base are integrally formed of an identical material or different materials. The universal low noise blockdown converter includes the above-described terminal structure in such an arrangement that the attachment base is fixed to one end face of the converter body.

Abstract: A document processing apparatus and method extracts, from document data, both a first word, whose translation is to be determined, and a second word that is either the preceding word or the subsequent word of the first word. Then a keyword is extracted based on the frequency of occurrence of the first word and the keyword is translated into a predetermined language by referring to a dictionary in a process that considers a meaning of the first and second words existing together in the document data.

Abstract: A waveguide input apparatus of two orthogonally polarized waves includes a waveguide having two cavities passing through the outer wall thereof to the interior, a first probe provided protruding from an inner wall of the waveguide via a first cavity so that the leading end is parallel to a first plane of polarization, a second probe provided protruding from the inner wall of the waveguide via a second cavity so that the leading end is parallel to a second plane of polarization, and a circuit board provided at the outer wall of the waveguide so as to be parallel to the second plane of polarization, and having the first probe and the second probe connected thereto. A converter for satellite broadcasting receiver employing this apparatus is also provided.

Abstract: A single-component developing apparatus comprising a developer holding member having a peripheral surface, a power supply section applying an AC developing bias voltage to the developer holding member, the AC developing bias voltage having a waveform with predetermined minimum value, maximum value and period, an electrostatic latent image receiving member opposing the developer holding member across a gap having predetermined width, a developer supplying section supplying a developer to the developer holding member, and a developer regulating member forming developer into a thin layer on the peripheral surface of the developer holding member by pressing on the developer holding member.

Abstract: A bend portion is provided on the inside of a waveguide main body for bending a proceeding direction of a radio wave from a waveguide on the side of a primary feed horn. The radio wave is transmitted with its proceeding direction changed such that an electric field of the radio wave is parallel with a conversion unit. Further provided on the inside of the waveguide main body is a conversion unit including a microstrip line for converting the radio wave from the bend portion to supply electric power.
