Abstract: To provide a thin wideband antenna unit capable of shrinking the size of a radiation element in a case where a dielectric is not used. In a wideband antenna unit 10 having a ground plate 12 and a flat shaped radiation element 14 disposed on a plane (x, y) flush with a plane where the ground plate extends, the radiation element 14 has an elliptically shape. The radiation element 14 and the ground plate 12 are apart from each other by a predetermined feeding distance ?FD. A ratio between an outside diameter 2aout in an ellipse's x-direction and an outside diameter 2bout in an ellipse's y-direction is 8:5. The elliptically shaped radiation element 14 has an elliptically shaped opening 14a which is concentric O with the elliptically shape. An inside diameter 2bin in the ellipse's y-direction is half of an outside diameter 2bout in the ellipse's y-direction.

Abstract: Boron-substituted graphite, which contains N-bonded boron atoms in a small proportion relative to whole substituted boron atoms, is produced by heating a feed fine particulate mixture of an infusibilized carbonaceous material and a boron compound such that the carbonaceous material is carbonized into a carbon structure, raising a temperature of the resulting heated fine particulate mixture promptly to a graphitization treatment temperature in an inert atmosphere unreactive with boron, retaining the graphitization treatment temperature for a time sufficient to allow graphitization of the carbon structure to proceed to a desired extent, and then quickly cooling the resulting graphitized mixture. The boron-substituted graphite is useful as a negative electrode in a lithium-ion secondary battery.

Abstract: A method for decreasing the concentration of a chlorinated aromatic compound in the exhaust gas from a combustion furnace. The exhaust gas from the combustion furnace is passed through a bag filter. The concentration of the chlorinated aromatic compound in the exhaust gas is measured and the operating temperature of the bag filter is adjusted based on the measured concentration of the chlorinated aromatic compound in order to decrease the concentration of the chlorinated aromatic compound in the exhaust gas.

Abstract: A multiserver workflow system in which each server and the users who use clients construct one subsystem includes: a plurality of servers; a plurality of clients; and a network to which the servers and the clients are connected. All of the servers have address information of the servers constructing all of the subsystems and correspondence information on all of the users and the subsystem which can be used by respective users. When each client connects to any one of the servers, the client downloads a list of the subsystems which can be used by the user who uses the client and addresses of the servers constructing the usable subsystems from the connection server and stores the list as a connectable server list.

Abstract: An incineration apparatus which can suppress the generation of dioxins, including a combustion furnace (11) for burning a combustible in combustion air within the furnace, chlorinated aromatic compound measuring device (12) for measuring an amount of a chlorinated aromatic compound generated in the combustion furnace, and control device (14, 15, 16) for monitoring the amount of the chlorinated aromatic compound generated, obtained by the measuring device (12), and varying operating conditions of the combustion furnace (11) on the basis of the monitored result, such as to decrease the amount of the chlorinated aromatic compound generated in the combustion furnace (11).

Abstract: The present invention involves a microelectronic device capable of audio playback of highlights, in conjunction with products such as a gift box or a "base" for nostalgia and memorabilia such as a gift or music box (20) with its base (22) and hingedly attached lid (24), or a base supporting an object of interest. A switch (26) or light sensor or other actuation device is mounted in or on the base and is coupled to a circuit board (28) also disposed in the base. The switch is open and the circuit is inactive when lid (24) rests atop base (22), but the switch closes when the lid is opened to activate the circuit board. In the alternative a manual switch, such as a press-button switch, may be used to activate the replay function. The circuit board, when activated, audibly reproduces "highlights", which is audio information sufficiently long to cover a significant event, e.g.
