Remote game apparatus

Abstract: A game apparatus for enabling players present at remote places from each other to easily play the game through a connected common communication network like a telephone line. The game apparatus has functions for detecting and displaying the moved arrangement of a game piece, for transmitting and receiving the detected signals via the communication network, and for collating the reproductive motion of the one player, performed by watching the displayed moved arrangement of a game piece, with the intended motion carried out by the other player.

Mobile body discrimination apparatus for rapidly acquiring respective data sets transmitted through modulation of reflected radio waves by transponders which are within a communication region of an interrogator apparatus

Abstract: In a mobile body discrimination apparatus having an interrogator apparatus (1) and a plurality of transponders (20) each capable of transmitting information to the interrogator apparatus by modulation of radio waves that are reflected from a transponder antenna (24), which can be attached to respective articles, store data concering the articles, and transmit the data to the interrogator apparatus in response to a command signal transmitted while the transponder traverses a communication region of an antenna of the interrogator apparatus, each transponder is configured to begin sending such response data after a randomly determined time interval following reception of the command signal, thereby reducing the probability of data conflict when plural transponders are within the communication region. In addition, radio waves from a second antenna (10) of the interrogator apparatus are directed into that communication region in the intervals between transmissions of the command signal, thereby increasing the power level of radio waves that are reflected by a transponder antenna or used by a rectifier circuit (21) to supply power for operating the transponder circuits.

3-dimensional micromachining with femtosecond laser pulses

Abstract: A method of treating a material by generating an ultraviolet wavelength laser beam having femtosecond pulses; splitting the ultraviolet wavelength laser beam into a plurality of separate laser beams having femtosecond pulses; directing the separate laser beams onto a target point within a sample such that the femtosecond pulses of the separate beams overlap to create an intensity sufficient to treat the sample. Apparatus for treating a material that includes an ultraviolet laser for generating an ultraviolet wavelength laser beam having femtosecond pulse and directing that ultraviolet wavelength laser beam onto a beam splitter; a beam splitter for splitting the ultraviolet wave length laser beam into a plurality of separate laser beams having femtosecond pulses; directing the separate laser beams onto a target point within a sample such that the femtosecond pulses of the separate beams overlap to create an intensity sufficient to treat the sample.

Method for making a biosensor

Abstract: This invention relates to a biosensor which comprises an insulative base, an electrode system formed on the substrate and primarily made of carbon, and a perforated body having an enzyme and an electron acceptor and integrally combined with the electrode system whereby a concentration of a specific component in a biological liquid sample can be electrochemically measured rapidly and accurately by a simple procedure of mere addition of the liquid sample. Several simple biosensors for measuring a specific component in a liquid sample are known including a sensor of the type in which a change of a dye formed by an enzyme reaction is optically detected and a sensor of the type using an enzyme electrode. These sensors, respectively, involve an interference with colored matters in liquid sample and necessity of washing of an electrode system every measuring procedure. In addition, the sensors are complicated in structure and materials therefor are expensive. In the present invention, the electrode system is formed mainly of carbon and is integrally combined with the perforated body, so that washing of the electrode system is unnecessary. Thus, an inexpensive, simply-operated biosensor of the disposable type can be provided.
