Abstract: In a data processor for processing pieces of input data successively sampled, a memory unit and a plurality of data transferring units for transferring data are provided. Each of the plurality of data transferring units has an upper limit number of data items successively transferable when activated. An activating unit is provided. The activating unit is configured to successively activate, within a predetermined time frame, the data transferring units without all of the data transferring units being deactivated within the predetermined time frame to thereby successively transfer the pieces of input data to the memory unit so as to store the pieces of input data therein.

Abstract: In a filtering apparatus, an analog filter filters a measured analog signal based on a predetermined filtering characteristic. An A/D converter converts, at constant time intervals, the filtered analog signal into a train of digital samples. A storage unit has a memory and stores, in the memory, the converted digital samples in the order from a first-converted digital sample in the train to a last-converted digital sample therein. A digital filtering unit has a second filtering characteristic substantially identical to the first filtering characteristic of the analog filter. The digital filtering unit reads out, from the memory, the digital samples in the order from the last-converted digital sample to the first-converted digital sample. The digital filtering unit filters the readout digital samples based on the second filtering characteristic in the order from the last-converted digital sample to the first-converted digital sample.

Abstract: In a laser beam machining method for a wiring board, a machined portion of the wiring board is irradiated with a pulsed laser beam for a beam irradiation time ranging from about 10 to about 200 ?s and with energy density of about 20 J/cm2 or more, thereby machining the wiring board, for example, drilling for a through-hole and a blind via hole, grooving, and cutting for an outside shape.

Abstract: In a laser beam machining method for a wiring board, a machined portion of the wiring board is irradiated with a pulsed laser beam for a beam irradiation time ranging from about 10 to 200 ?s and with energy density of about 20 J/cm2 or more, thereby machining the wiring board, for example, drilling for a through-hole and a blind via hole, grooving, and cutting for an outside shape. The laser beam operates at a frequency of more than 67 Hz, and the spot of the laser beam is sequentially moved to different drilling positions for each pulse. After all of many drilling positions in the range of a scan vision are irradiated with the laser beam pulse by pulse, or after the elapse of a time of 15 ms or more from irradiation of the first drilling position, the laser spot is returned to the first drilling position. The spot is sequentially moved once again, and the movement is repeated several times.

Abstract: Novel triazolo derivatives represented by the following formula and pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof, as well as chemokine inhibitors containing the same as an effective component. These are useful as therapeutic agents for allergic diseases such as bronchial asthma and atopic dermatitis; therapeutic agents for inflammatory diseases such as chronic rheumatoid arthritis; therapeutic agents for autoimmune diseases such as ulcerative colitis and nephritis; and as anti-AIDS drugs.

Abstract: A seat includes a seat supporting carrier. A seat cushion is pivotally mounted on the carrier. The carrier has a swing arm pivotally attached thereto. A seat back is pivotally mounted to the swing arm. The seat cushion is pivotable on a first pivot axis P1 between a laid position and an erected position. The swing aim is pivotable on a second pivot axis P2 between a laid position and and erected position. The seat back is pivotable on a third pivot axis between a laid position and an erected position. When the seat back is in the erected position and the seat cushion is in the laid position, the third pivot axis is positioned higher than the first and second pivot axes. The seat back, by pivoting from the erected position to the laid position, lies on the seat cushion held in the laid position.
