Abstract: A power generation element includes a magnetic member that produces a large Barkhausen effect and magnetism collection members including an insertion part having the magnetic member inserted therethrough. The magnetism collection member includes a first component on an opposite side of a boundary plane to a magnetic field generation unit and a second component on the same side of the boundary plane as the magnetic field generation unit, the boundary plane passing through a center of an imaginary circle inscribed in the insertion part and having a diameter equal to a length of the insertion part in a third direction perpendicular to first and second directions, the first direction is a direction of the insertion of the magnetic member, and the second direction is a direction in which the magnetic field generation unit is disposed. A volume of the second component is larger than a volume of the first component.

Abstract: A service providing method and system according to which a stable access condition is maintained, losses of service providing opportunities to users are reduced and a stable service is provided via a network are provided. When an access request is sent from a user to a service providing server and an accessible number is exceeded, the server indicates information of the number of accesses to a user without immediately executing the access to said server, updates the information periodically and connects the user with the server when the server becomes accessible.

Abstract: Provided herein is a non-contact type rotational position sensor which is allowed to achieve intensification of parts, miniaturization, simplification of assembly, and higher accuracy. A rotor (a permanent magnet) is mounted on a rotational shaft. A Hall IC is interposed between an upper stator and a lower stator which are magnetic plates. The Hall IC is sensitive to magnetic flux density which varies according to a rotational position of the rotor. In a housing incorporating the rotor and the Hall IC is provided integrally a connector provided with an external connection terminal. Conductors for connecting external connection terminals and input/output terminals of the Hall IC are embedded into the housing by insert-molding. One ends of conductors are exposed at a fixed position where the input/output terminals are present. The terminals of the Hall IC are guided by a guide and joined to the one ends of conductors.

Abstract: A service provision method and system, by which a stable access condition can be held to the utmost, losses of service providing chances for users can be suppressed to the least and a stable service can be provided via a network are provided. When an access request is sent from a user to a service providing server and the accessable number exceeds, the server informs information of the number of accesses at that time to the user without immediately executing the access to said server, updates the information as occasion and connects the user to the server when the server becomes accessable.

Abstract: When a user does shopping on a commodity purchase screen provided by a shop via the Internet, the user uses a payment reservation service provided by a claim management server. Then, the claim management server stores the shopping content of the user as a database and simultaneously stores both a payment amount and a settled/unsettled payment status in the shopping contents. The user views the list of unsettled payment of the shopping content provided by the claim management server, selects a shopping item, the price payment of which the user is going to settle, designates an account handling institute to use and settles payment online. The claim management server automatically does the check work of the shopping content, the price payment of which is settled.

Abstract: A display device and process used to display an image in which stationary objects and moving objects are displayed on a two-dimensional surface taking into consideration the depth relationship among the objects. By using the depth relationship among objects, moving objects may be seen to move in front of other objects and thereby obscure them or move behind other objects and thereby be obscured by them. This is accomplished by using prestored image data of the stationary objects and moving objects. A depth relationship relative to another moving object and stationary object is then obtained for each of portion of the prestored image data for each moving object for which a change has occurred between frames. The present invention uses an object buffer to expand difference data representing a difference between frames of prestored image data of a moving object. A bit map is used to contain bits uniquely assigned to each moving object.

Abstract: An image generating apparatus has a command interpreting unit for interpreting external commands, an information storage unit storing information for image generation, an image selecting unit for selecting desired images from the information stored in the information storage unit, and an image display unit for displaying the images selected by the image selecting unit. The information storage unit includes an image information unit where image information is stored and a fake information unit where information for selecting images that do not produce unnatural visual effects is stored. Based on the information retrieved from the fake information unit, the image selecting unit selects and generates images in accordance with the content of interpretation from the command interpreting unit. The generated images are then within a range that does not produce unnatural visual effects.

Abstract: The solid preparation of the invention is prepared by dissolving 3-[3-(6-Benzoyloxy-3-cyano-2-pyridyloxycarbonyl)benzoyl]-1-ethoxymethyl-5- fluorouracil (hereinafter referred to as "BOF-A2") and a water-soluble polymer in a organic solvent completely, followed by forming preparation of amorphous powder prepared by removing the organic solvent.The solid preparation is useful to enhance solubility of BOF-A2 and to accomplish rapid absorption of BOF-A2 through the alimentary canal.

Abstract: A method of producing reverse transcriptase, which comprises isolating a fraction containing retrovirus from a tissue culture fluid supernatant of retrovirus producing cells which are able to grow and propagate in vitro, treating said fraction at least once by sucrose density gradient centrifugation to thereby obtain a purified retrovirus, and extracting reverse transcriptase from said purified retrovirus.
