Abstract: Radio zones 2a through 2d are each assigned radio frequency channels of the number corresponding to the zone traffic, one frequency f1 of the radio frequency channel is assigned in common to all radio zones, and radio channels of the same frequency are assigned spectrum spreading codes different for each zone. A mobile station is provided with two correlators 14 and 15. If the received signal level lowers when the mobile station stays in the radio zone 2a and is in conversation over the channel of a frequency f2, the mobile station once switches the communication to a channel of the common frequency f1 and continues the communication using one of the correlators, while at the same time the mobile station scans spectrum spreading codes for control channels of the respective radio zones by the other correlator for measuring the received signal levels of the control channels and determines a destination radio zone which provides the maximum received signal level.

Abstract: A clamping mechanism installed on a circulating conveyor is composed of a clamp and a supporting plate and a latch lever axially attached to the supporting plate. The clamp is designed to be opened to a specified extent by a coiled spring. When the clamp is closed against the operation of the coiled spring, it engages with a latch of a latch lever so as to be locked.A cloth sent out from the sewing machine advances between the opened clamp and the supporting plate. The clamp is closed by an air cylinder and clamps the cloth.When the latch lever engages with a limiting lever set at a specified position in the direction of movement of the conveyor, the lock is unlocked, and the clamp is opened to release the cloth.

Abstract: One of ports of a 3dB hybrid for dividing and combining electromagnetic waves is used as an input port, and first and second resonators are electromagnetically coupled respectively with two ports to which the electromagnetic waves incident from the input port are outputted after being divided. The first and second resonators respectively comprise pluralities of opposed coupling disks sequentially arranged in the direction of travel of the electromagnetic waves and first and second reflectors disposed opposite the coupling disks farthest from the hybrid. The numbers of coupling disks of the first and second resonators are selected to differ by one. The remaining port of the hybrid is used as an output port.

Abstract: A novel dipeptide, L-aspartyl-aminomalonic acid methyl 2-methylcyclohexyl diester and its physiologically acceptable salts which are useful as a sweetener, and production thereof and sweetening compositions containing the dipeptide or its salt.
