Abstract: A radio terminal device realizing reduced power consumption and prompt detection of detection object by using a first sensor and a second sensor whose ON/OFF states are opposite and whose operations are synchronized. When the first sensor detects a detection object, the first output voltage level is changed. When a processor detects the change of the output voltage level as an interrupt signal, the drive voltage level of the first sensor is switched to low and the drive voltage level of the second sensor is switched to high. Moreover, when the second sensor detects a detection object, the output voltage level of the second sensor is changed. When the processor detects the change of the output voltage level as an interrupt signal, the drive voltage level of the second sensor is switched to low and the drive voltage level of the first circuit is switched to high.

Abstract: A system enables capturing biometric information while a user is perceiving a particular product, service, creative work or thing. For example, while movie-goers watch a movie, the system can capture and recognize the facial expressions, vocal expressions and/or eye expressions (e.g., iris information) of one or more person's in the audience to determine an audience's reaction to movie content. Alternatively, the system could be used to evaluate an audience's reaction to a public spokesman, e.g., political figure. The system could be useful to evaluate consumer products or story-boards before substantial investment in movie development occurs. Because these biometric expressions (laughing, crying, etc.) are generally universal, the system is generally independent of language and can be applied easily for global-use products and applications.

Abstract: To provide a method of measuring a position of a node by using a radio communication system which comprises the node to send a position measuring signal, and a plurality of base stations to receive radio signals from the node, the method including: the base stations watching signals from the node through a predetermined channel; at least one of the base stations sending a reference signal after receiving of the position measuring signal; at least two of the base stations measuring the reception timing of the position measuring signal and the reception timing of the reference signal; and calculating the position of the node by using the reception timing of the position measuring signal and the reference signal measured by the base stations which have received the reference signal, and position information of the base station which has received the position measuring signal.

Abstract: Integration of application programs, includes middleware, which is built by a system integrator from individual components, which are typically parameterizable, may come from disparate authors and environments, and may be used repeatably. Software build tools (for example compiler, assembler, linker, etc.) are used. A set of tags describes some parameters for software configuration. A specific configuration tool automatically reads configuration files, shows the system integrator choices, and builds the integrated program based on the system integrator's choices. In addition to configuring in a local environment, configuration may be in a distributed environment via the use of web servers and web browsers. Web browsers, which function as interfaces with the system integrator and the distributed environment, are independent of the particular components.

Abstract: A telephone exchange enables subscribers to use voice dialing more easily with existing telephone systems. The voice dialing does not require special input operations or preregistration of called parties. Rather, a subscriber can make a telephone call easily without having to perform multiple operations. The telephone exchange includes structure for discriminating dial pulse information, push-button tone information, and spoken information so that one or more of these types of information can be input by a caller to achieve connection to the called party.
