Abstract: The purpose/problem of the present invention is to provide a method for producing tungsten complex oxide particles useful as a heat shield material or the like that permits inexpensive production of a stable composition. This method for producing tungsten complex oxide particles includes a step for preparing a dispersion in which a raw material powder has been dispersed, a step for feeding the dispersion into a thermal plasma flame, and a step for supplying gas containing oxygen to the terminal portion of the thermal plasma flame and producing tungsten complex oxide particles. The dispersion preferably includes a carbon element.

Abstract: A novel method for producing a stereoselective epoxyketone compound is provided. A method for producing an epoxyketone compound represented by the formula (1), as represented by the following scheme, whereby it is possible to obtain an epoxyketone derivative in good yield and at high selectivity and to provide an industrially useful production method and an intermediate thereof. wherein R1 is a hydrogen atom, a linear, branched or cyclic alkyl group, an aromatic group which may have a substituent, or a heterocyclic group which may have a substituent, and R2 is a protective group for an amino group. R is a hydrogen atom or a C1-10 alkyl group, and R's may be the same or different, provided that at least one R is a C1-10 alkyl group.

Abstract: Disclosed are black composite particles having a high light-shielding performance suitable as a black component such as a black matrix in a color filter. Further disclosed is a black resin composition from which a black matrix having a high light-shielding performance can be formed. The black composite particles are represented by the composition formula: TiNxOy.zX (wherein X is a metal atom such as silver; x is a number greater than 0 and less than 2; y is a number not less than 0 and less than 2; and z is a number greater than 0 and less than 10). The black resin composition comprises at least a light shielding agent, a resin, and a solvent and comprises the black composite particles as the light shielding agent.

Abstract: A pick-up system is provided that can be suitably used irrespective of the type of the guitar by means of an arrangement of a plurality of pick-up coils that can appropriately conform to the curvature of the strings that are arranged in a stringed instrument. In accordance with the pick-up system of the present invention, it is possible to adjust the curvature of the roof surfaces of the pick-up coils in conformance with the bending of a pick-up board on which the pick-up coils have been mounted. Therefore, a distance that is always an appropriate distance can be maintained between each of the pick-up coils that are arranged on the pick-up board and each of the strings by means of the suitable adjustment of the curvature of the pick-up board. Accordingly, there is the advantageous result that the vibrations of each of the strings can be appropriately detected irrespective of the type of guitar.

Abstract: An apparatus for mounting a control unit on a stringed musical instrument. The apparatus is designed such that the control unit can be easily mounted on and removed from the stringed musical instrument. The apparatus provides more stable and more firm mounting of the control unit compared to similar apparatuses of the past. The apparatus facilitates the mounting of the control unit on either the front surface of the stringed musical instrument or the rear surface of the stringed musical instrument. When mounting the control unit on the front surface of the stringed musical instrument, the apparatus also facilitates mounting the control unit above the bridge of the stringed musical instrument.

Abstract: A tabular form screen on which input fields for a parameter and a set value can be added is used as a condition input screen. In a test pattern control part, set values of different parameter groups inputted via the condition input screen are arbitrarily combined, one set value group from each parameter group being selected for one combination, to automatically generate test patterns and parameter files which are information on the set values. An execution control section can control a server and a client terminal of an information processing system to execute performance tests successively only with one input operation based on the generated parameter files.

Abstract: There are disclosed a high temperature superconductive material which can be plastically deformed, processed optionally into predetermined configurations and industrially mass produced and a method of manufacturing a formed body of the high temperature superconductive material. Mixed is a powder raw material which is mainly composed of: 10 to 50 mol % of at least one amide or nitride of alkali metal of Li, Na or K; 10 to 60 mol % of cyanide containing at least one metal selected from aluminum, copper, silver or gold; 5 to 50 mol % of at least one pure metal selected from aluminum, copper, silver or gold; and 10 mol % or less of at least one alkaline earth metal selected from Be, Mg, Ca, Sr or Ba. The powder raw material is pressed, and heated and sintered at the temperature of 673 K to 1553 K. In this manner, obtained is the plastically deformable high temperature superconductive material which can be optionally processed through forging, rolling and the like.

Abstract: A method of recognizing handwritten characters. A recognition dictionary is prepared including a plurality of characters and corresponding character clusters. A weighting dictionary is prepared including weighting clusters and corresponding object characters. All segmentation position candidates are selected by segmenting handwritten character ink data. Each of the position candidates is separated in a direction corresponding to a direction in which the handwritten character ink data is inputted from a leading position of the ink data and satisfying a predetermined condition. A character candidate is selected corresponding to each segment of the ink data segmented at the segmentation position candidates by referring to the recognition dictionary and calculating a distance value between each of the segments of the ink data and a selected one of the character clusters.
