Abstract: A mobile terminal device that forms an adhoc network comprises a clustering section that identifies the ID and state of a mobile terminal device that is adjacent to the mobile terminal device itself by exchanging a Hello packet (containing the ID and state of the mobile terminal device itself) with the other mobile terminal device and which, based on the state of the adjacent mobile terminal device and the state of the mobile terminal device itself, sets the state of the mobile terminal device itself as a cluster head, gateway, or member; a storage section that stores the ID and state of the adjacent mobile terminal device and the state of the mobile terminal device itself; a link information transmit/receive section which, when the state of the mobile terminal device itself is the cluster head, transmits link information containing the ID of the adjacent mobile terminal device and the ID of the mobile terminal device itself and receives link information from the other mobile terminal device; and a routing se

Abstract: A mobile communication terminal communicates with a base station of an infrastructure network via any one of a single-hop route, and a multi-hop route using other terminals. The mobile communication includes an application processor and an access route selector. The application processor is configured to process an application involving communications with the base station. The access route selector is configured to select an access route out of the single-hop route and the multi-hop route, in accordance with information on the application.

Abstract: An information display device for displaying prescribed information on a prescribed display body, includes: an authentication operation request section for allowing a user to make user authentication; and an operation permission section for accepting an operation on said information display device for a prescribed permission time since said information display device is lastly operated, if the user who makes the authentication operation is authorized to perform the operation of said information display device; wherein said operation permission section sets said permission time based on the display contents on said display body.

Abstract: The present invention reduces the number of location registration signals transmitted by slave terminals of gateway terminals forming ad hoc networks. Information on the current location of a gateway terminal is acquired. On the basis of the current location information acquired, a plurality of gateway terminals are grouped into a location registration area. Location registration area information indicative of the location registration area is transmitted to a mobile terminal mastered by the gateway terminal. The slave mobile terminal transmits a location registration signal only if the location registration area information has been changed. This makes it possible to reduce the number of location registration signals transmitted by the slave terminals compared to the case in which the gateway terminals are not grouped.

Abstract: A structured document display processor used in a display device for displaying a structured document based on a style definition, the structured document having at least one element includes. A page number calculating unit for calculating a page character number based on information used for determining the page character number. The information for determining the page character number is defined in the style definition, and the page character number indicates the number of characters which can be accommodated in a single page. Also included is a cumulative character count calculating unit for calculating a cumulative character count which is a total character count from the beginning of the structured document to a requested element which is requested to be displayed, and a requested page determining unit for determining a page containing the requested element based on the page character number and the cumulative character count.

Abstract: Contaminant viruses can be efficiently removed almost without losing the activity of protein by subjecting a plasma protein composition having a high risk of viral contamination to a treatment with a porous membrane having a pore size greater than a single-particle size of the virus, particularly by subjecting a plasma protein composition to a fractionation treatment by precipitation, before the porous membrane treatment. Particularly, a fibrinogen composition substantially free of non-enveloped viruses, Parvovirus among others, can be provided. By the application of the present invention, a safe plasma protein preparation free of viruses can be conveniently provided.

Abstract: An ink jet recording apparatus includes a recording head for effecting recording by ejecting ink onto a recording material and a holder for holding the recording head while it is not used for recording. The holder includes a cap for sealing an ejection outlet of the recording head, and the cap includes ink absorbing material for maintaining wetness of the ejection outlet.

Abstract: A battery charge circuit using a constant voltage/constant current to power charge a plurality of battery packs, a current detection circuit to detect a charge current according to a predetermined value, and control mechanisms to maintain a constant voltage charge mode when the charge current value drops below a set value within the battery pack.

Abstract: In a battery-driven portable computer, a battery pack is constituted by m battery sets connected in series each including n lithium-ion secondary battery cells connected in parallel. A voltage monitor for monitoring the voltage of the terminal electrode of each battery set and a charger for independently appropriately charging each battery set in accordance with a monitor result are arranged, thereby realizing battery driving by a lithium-ion secondary battery pack having a large capacity. A computer system monitors the voltages of the battery cells which are part of a secondary battery by comparing the battery voltages with a predetermined voltage value in order to detect overdischarge (undervoltage) or overcharge (overvoltage), outputs this information outside of the battery pack, and terminates processing prior to a circuit disconnect.

Abstract: A roller comprises a rotary shaft, an outer peripheral wall member for defining an outer peripheral surface to be contacted with a sheet, and a support member for supporting the outer peripheral wall member so that the outer peripheral wall member surrounds the rotary shaft. The support member defines a space between the rotary shaft and the outer peripheral wall member and supports the outer peripheral wall member with maintaining a condition that the outer peripheral wall member is deformed to swell radially outwardly.

Abstract: A mutant human prourokinase wherein a neutral amino acid in the epidermal growth factor (EGF) region of human prourokinase (human PUK) has been replaced with a basic amino acid, or an acidic amino acid has been replaced with a non-acidic amino acid, and a method for producing a mutant human PUK which comprises expression of mutant human PUK by cultivating a host transformed by a plasmid inserted with a DNA sequence coding for said mutant human PUK. By replacing a neutral amino acid in the EGF region of human PUK which is a fibrinolysin with a basic amino acid, or an acidic amino acid with a non-acidic amino acid, half-life in blood can be prolonged, and affinity for fibrin can be improved.

Abstract: A human prourokinase mutant in which the entire or a partial epidermal growth factor domain of human prourokinase is deleted or a partial epidermal growth factor domain of human prourokinase is replaced by one or more different amino acid residues, said mutant having a longer blood half-life than naturally occurring human prourokinase while retaining prourokinase enzymatic activity. In this human prourokinase mutant the region selected from the group consisting of: (a) from asparagine (10) to cysteine (42); (b) from asparagine (10) to aspartic acid (45); and (c) from asparagine (10) to threonine (49) is missing.
