Abstract: A semiconductor device includes a TFT, a diode and a capacitor that each have an insulating layer which includes a tantalum oxide film formed by oxidizing a tantalum film at a temperature of 300° C. to 400° C. and under a pressure of 0.5 MPa to 2 MPa, and a silicon oxide film formed by a CVD method and the like. Therefore, the insulating layer includes the tantalum oxide film produced by high-pressure annealing and thus has high voltage resistance.

Also, service classes of a plurality of priorities for the MPLS traffic are provided and the read interval is obtained per priority.

Abstract: A NMS for controlling the network provides a SoftPVC connection request comprising information associated with a specified relay node to a call-out node, when setting a path passing through the specified relay node. The call-out node prepares a SETUP message comprising information associated with the specified relay node, and transmits the message to nodes existing on the post stage. Thereafter, the SETUP message reaches the call-in node through the specified relay node, to thereby perform the signaling procedure, and as a result, a path from the call-out node to the call-in node passing through the specified relay node is set and established.

Abstract: A communication control device includes an RM cell receiving unit which receives an incoming RM cell from a source terminal via a forward transmission line. A point-to-multipoint RM cell transmitting unit overwrites, when a congestion at a downstream portion of an ATM-based network is detected, a congested-condition ER value and a congestion notification data to the incoming RM cell received by the RM cell receiving unit, and transmits a point-to-multipoint RM cell, having the congested-condition ER value and the congestion notification data, to an upstream communication device via a backward transmission line, so that a state of the congestion is notified to the upstream communication device.

The gel-like polymer having conductivity is a mixture with an acrylic copolymer, to which an electrolytic solution is infiltrated to uniformly distribute the electrolytic solution.

Abstract: Compositions and methods for the therapy and diagnosis of cancer, particularly lung cancer, are disclosed. Illustrative compositions comprise one or more lung tumor polypeptides, immunogenic portions thereof, polynucleotides that encode such polypeptides, antigen presenting cell that expresses such polypeptides, and T cells that are specific for cells expressing such polypeptides. The disclosed compositions are useful, for example, in the diagnosis, prevention and/or treatment of diseases, particularly lung cancer.

Abstract: Fluorescent particles strongly fluorescing upon irradiation with ultraviolet rays, as well as a process for producing the same, are provided. A water-insoluble fluorescent dyestuff and/or pigment fluorescing upon irradiation with ultraviolet rays and a powdery material including starch, cellulose, other polysaccharides and sugars are mixed and granulated. The surface of granules of the powdery material may be coated with the fluorescent dyestuff and/or pigment. In granulation or coating, a resin having reactive groups reacting with the hydroxyl groups of the powdery material is used in combination, whereby particles excellent in water resistance can be obtained. Further, the interaction between an anionic binder contained in the granules and a cationic material contained in the coating layer or between a cationic binder contained in the granules and an anionic material contained in the coating layer can be utilized to confer water resistance on the particles.

Abstract: The quality and performance of the connectionless communications system are improved. When a BOM is received, the destination address DA of the L3-PDU stored in the payload of the BOM is retrieved, and the tag information is obtained from the DA (S11). The output message identifier MID is reserved (S12), and the tag information and output MID are assigned to the BOM (S13). Then, the tag information and output MID are written to the table. When a COM is received, the tag information and output MID are retrieved using the MID of the COM as a key, and the information is provided for the COM (S31 and S32). When an EOM is received, the tag information and output MID are retrieved using the MID of the EOM as a key, and the information is provided for the EOM (S41 and S42). Then, the output MID is released (S43).

Abstract: In a posture control apparatus controlling the posture of a vehicle in yawing direction by independently controlling brakes of the wheels, intervention of a first oversteer control is carried out when the oversteering tendency of the vehicle is stronger than a first preset reference value, intervention of a second oversteer control, in which the control amount is lower than in the first oversteer control, is carried out when the oversteering tendency of the vehicle is not stronger than the first preset reference value, but stronger than a second preset reference value, and intervention of a third oversteer control, in which the control amount is lower than in the first oversteer control, is carried out when the oversteering tendency of the vehicle is not stronger than the second preset reference value, but stronger than a third preset reference value.

Abstract: In a posture control apparatus controlling the posture of a vehicle in yawing direction by independently controlling brakes of the wheels, intervention of a first understeer control suppressing an understeering tendency is carried out when the understeering tendency of the vehicle is stronger than a preset reference value. Moreover, intervention of a second understeer control, in which the control amount is lower than in the first understeer control, is carried out when the actual yaw rate does not make a predetermined change with respect to a change of a steering wheel angle, thus improving the sense of stability and the controllability felt by the driver.
