Communication terminal apparatus, base station apparatus, and radio communication method

Abstract: A communication mode determination section 201 determines the communication mode based on the CIR measured by a CIR measurement section 219; a DRC signal creation section 202 creates a DRC signal with a number corresponding to the communication mode; and a DRC power controller 205 refers to a transmission power table 206 showing the correspondence between DRC numbers and transmission power, and, based on the transmission power of the pilot signal output from a pilot power controller 209, increases transmission power in proportion as the DRC signal indicates that downlink channel quality is good.

Multimedia optical disc having improved interactive reproduction procedure, a reproduction apparatus and a method for such a disc

Abstract: A multimedia optical disc comprising a data area for storing at least one object that has sub-picture data and moving picture data, wherein the data area includes a plurality of small areas, each of which includes a first sub-area and a second sub-area, with the object in the data area being stored over consecutive small areas; the first sub-area stores the moving picture data having a certain time period and the sub-picture data being reproduced at the same timing as the moving picture data, the sub-picture data being a menu image which includes a plurality of buttons for showing menu items for display; and the second sub-area stores control information including button control data for responding to a user's operation applied onto a menu image reproduced in the first sub-area in the same small area and auxiliary control data for substituting the user's operation applied onto the menu.

Piezoelectric element, ink jet head, angular velocity sensor, method for manufacturing the same, and ink jet recording apparatus

Abstract: In a piezoelectric element 20, a first electrode layer 2 made of a an alloy of at least one metal selected from the group consisting of cobalt, nickel, iron, manganese and copper and a noble metal is formed on a silicon substrate 1, an oriented control layer 11 made of a cubic or tetragonal perovskite oxide is formed on the first electrode 2, and a piezoelectric layer 3 made of a rhombohedral or tetragonal perovskite oxide (e.g., PZT) is formed on the orientation control layer 11 so that the piezoelectric layer 3 is preferentially oriented along the (001) plane.

Visual processing device, visual processing method, visual processing program, integrated circuit, display device, imaging device, and mobile information terminal

Abstract: There is provided a visual processing device having a hardware configuration not depending on the visual processing realized. The visual processing device (1) includes a spatial processing section (2) and a visual processing section (3). The spatial processing section (2) performs a predetermined processing for an input signal IS inputted and outputs an un-sharp signal US. The visual processing section (3) outputs an output signal OS based on a 2-dimensional LUT (4) giving the relationship of the input signal IS inputted and the un-sharp signal US with the output signal OS which is the input signal IS subjected to the visual processing.

Vibration generating apparatus

Abstract: The present invention has an object to provide a method for generating vibration and a vibration generating apparatus for allowing a single unit to provide a call signal by way of sound and body-sensible vibration. According to the method for generating vibration of the invention, first and second vibration systems having different resonance frequencies from each other are magnetically coupled to each other and a state of energy externally supplied to the systems is selected thereby causing the first vibration system to vibrate relative to the second vibration system for generating a body-sensible vibration, for example. By changing the state of the energy, the second vibration system is caused to vibrate relative to the first vibration system for generating sound.
