Abstract:
A doppler sensor includes a doppler signal generation unit and a determining unit. The doppler signal generation unit serves to transmit an electric wave to a detection range and receiving electric waves from a detection range, and generating a doppler signal based on a transmission signal used in transmitting the electric wave and a reception signal obtained from the received electric waves, and the determining unit serves to determine whether or not there exists a human body in the detection range through a spectrum analysis using a peak frequency, which is a frequency having the highest intensity in a difference spectrum obtained by subtracting a background spectrum from the spectrum of the doppler signal.

Abstract:
An illumination apparatus includes a light source unit having solid light-emitting elements and a sensor unit having a wave transmission portion for transmitting energy waves of specified frequency and a wave reception portion for receiving the energy waves reflected from an object. The sensor unit outputs a detection signal by detecting the object within a detection range based on the difference in frequency between the transmitted and received energy waves. The illumination apparatus further includes a control unit responsive to the detection signal from the sensor unit for performing a control operation to turn on the light source unit, and a power source unit for supplying electric power to the light source unit. The power source unit is arranged outside the detection range of the sensor unit. The sensor unit is provided on the opposite side to the direction of light irradiated from the light source unit.
Abstract:
A communication terminal has a communicating section which performs communication via a network, an instructing section which gives instructions to perform communication, a reserving section which reserves performance of first communication by setting a starting time and an ending time of the first communication received through the communicating section, a notifying section which notifies a user that a reservation exists when the communicating section tries to perform second communication other than the first communication during a time period between a time preceding the starting time by a predetermined time period and the ending time, and a controlling section which controls to perform the second communication when an instruction to perform the second communication is given by the instructing section after the notification by the notifying section.
Abstract:
A light-emitting device which uses and LED having a light-emitting element being placed on a package substrate. The light-emitting element has a light-extracting surface. A fluorescent element which is formed by dispersing a fluorescent material in a transparent substance and is placed face to face with the light-extracting surface of the light emitting element and comprises a clearance gap in between. The light-emitting element generates light of a certain wavelength that emanates through the light-extracting surface into the fluorescent element where the wavelength is changed. The device further comprises an optical element which receives light from the light-emitting element through the fluorescent element and directs the light to the outside of the device.
Abstract:
A sintered product based on mesocarbon microbeads is prepared by pressure-molding mesocarbon microbeads (MCMB) having an MSP (maximum solubility percent) value of 30 to 38% by volume whereby a body is formed, and sintering the body, wherein MSP represents the percentage volume reduction (volume %) determined by heating a given amount of an MCMB to 350.degree. C. under a pressure load of 10 kgf/cm.sup.2. The quality of a molded MCMB sintered product can be controlled by determining the percentage volume reduction (MSP) of an MCMB by heating it under a given pressure load in a predetermined space using the MSP value so found as an indicator.
Abstract:
A leadframe includes a first longitudinal side band, a second longitudinal side band integrally connected to the first band by transverse sectioning bars spaced longitudinally of the leadframe, a plurality of first leads located closer to the first side band between the respective sectioning bars, and a plurality of second leads integrally connected to the second side band between the respective sectioning bars. The first leads are integrally connected to the respective sectioning bars only via twistably slenderized segments. Each first lead can be turned over toward a corresponding second lead by torsioning the twistable segments.
Abstract:
Compounds of formula (I): ##STR1## (wherein: R.sup.1 represents a hydrogen atom or a halogen atom;R.sup.2 represents a C.sub.1 -C.sub.6 alkyl group; andA represents an oxygen atom, a sulphur atom, a sulphinyl group or a sulphonyl group)have good insecticidal activity coupled with a low toxicity to warm-blooded animals. Compounds in which A represents an oxygen or sulphur atom can be prepared by reacting a corresponding alkali metal alkoxide or mercaptide with the corresponding 3-dimethylcarbamoyloxy-5-halomethylisoxazole derivative, while compounds where A represents a sulphinyl or sulphonyl group may be prepared by oxidizing the corresponding compound wherein A represents a sulphur atom. The compounds may be formulated with conventional insecticidal carriers or diluents and exhibit a synergistic increase in activity when combined with various known organic phosphate and carbamate insecticides.
Abstract:
3-hydroxy-5-methylisoxazole is prepared by reacting diketene in a continuous process with hydroxylamine to give a reaction mixture containing acetoacetohydroxamic acid and then acidifying this reaction mixture as quickly as possible to produce the 3-hydroxy-5-methylisoxazole.
