A flip-chip electrode light-emitting element formed by multilayer coatings where a translucent conducting layer and a highly reflective metal layer acts as flip-chip electrode for enhancing the LED luminous efficiency. The flip-chip electrode light-emitting element includes a translucent substrate, a semiconductor die structure attached on the translucent substrate and made of group III nitride compounds, and an intermediate layer adapted to support the inverted semiconductor die structure on a submount. The flip-chip electrode formed by multiplayer coatings includes a current-spreading transparent conducting layer formed on a top side of the second type semiconductor layer, a highly reflective metal layer formed on a top side of the transparent conducting layer, a metallic diffusion barrier layer formed on a top side of the highly reflective metal layer, and a bonding layer electrically coupled to the intermediate layer and formed on a top side of the barrier layer. Moreover, an ohmic contact layer is formed on the transparent conducting layer. And a passivation layer encloses the die structure for insulating p/n interface and for avoiding the creation of the leakage current.

Real time, high-speed image stabilization with a retinal tracking scanning laser ophthalmoscope (TSLO) enables new approaches to established diagnostics. Large frequency range (DC to 19 kHz), wide-field (40-deg) stabilized Doppler flowmetry imaging is described for human subjects. The fundus imaging method is a quasi-confocal line-scanning laser ophthalmoscope (LSLO). The retinal tracking system uses a confocal reflectometer with a closed loop optical servo system to lock onto features in the ocular fundus and automatically re-lock after blinks. By performing a slow scan with the laser line imager, frequency-resolved retinal perfusion and vascular flow images can be obtained free of eye motion artifacts.

A physical memory of a single computer is divided for each of a plurality of operating system (OS). A first OS is first loaded into the computer and runs. A multi-OS management program common to a plurality of OSs is incorporated into a virtual address space of the first OS as a device driver of the first OS. The multi-OS management program incorporated as the device driver is rearranged in a memory area shared by OSs so that the multi-OS management program has the same virtual address in any OS. In this state, the second OS program itself is loaded in the virtual address space of the second OS by execution of the multi-OS management program in the first OS. Execution of the multi-OS management program is switched from the multi-of management program in the first OS to the multi-OS management program in the second OS. Then, the second OS is started by execution of the multi-OS management program in the second OS to thereby run the plurality of OSs on the single computer.

During clinical trials on patients suffering from neurological disorders, it has been observed that some patients obtain dramatic improvements in motor control and/or higher mental functioning, when they receive a combination of dextromethorphan and quinidine, at suitable dosages. Improved motor control has been exemplified to date by improved ability to swallow and/or speak, among victims of stroke, head injury, or ALS. Improved higher mental functioning has been exemplified better job performance, increased ability to analyze and solve problems, and increased ability to have successful and satisfying interactions with other people. These types of effects can be seen in a relatively brief time period, such as within several days to a week.

The present invention provides a process for producing an antibody composition using a cell, which comprises using a cell into which an RNA having activity of suppressing the function of an enzyme relating to the modification of a sugar chain in which 1-position of fucose is bound to 6-position of N-acetylglucosamine in the reducing end through α-bond in a complex type N-glycoside-linked sugar chain is introduced; the RNA used in the production process; a DNA corresponding to the RNA; a cell in which the RNA or DNA is introduced or expressed; a process for producing the cell; and a method for suppressing the enzyme.

Portable operatively simple touch screen apparatus uses testing methods and systems that are free of age and language constraints include special signal processing techniques that provide a temporal resolution highly sensitive for probing cognitive function. The embodiments include or make use of one or more modules implemented at least partially in a set of instructions in software and configured to measure user reaction times to visual stimulus on a touch screen device having a capacitive sensor touch-sensitive surface and a detector of audio waves resulting from touch on the touch-sensitive surface. The modules employ recordation of acoustic vibrations resulting from a user's touching a target location on the touch screen surface spaced from a touched starting location on that surface, in one embodiment, to measure temporal response to a visual stimulus placed at the target location.

A method of and apparatus for efficiently managing video programming services by a provider of video on demand services in response to requests from cable television subscribers. The system is controlled by a multimedia application server. Upon receipt of a request, the multimedia application server searches for the most appropriate means of satisfying the request. If the requested program is already being provided, the streaming occurs from the same video server, if capacity is available. If the program already exists in streamable form, it is streamed from that location. If the requested program must be transferred to video server memory, the available space is found to accommodate the transfer or existing programming is swapped out.

A polarizing plate comprising a protective film provided on the both sides of a polarizer, wherein the polarizing plate has an adhesive layer provided on at least one side thereof, which adhesive layer comprising a (meth)acrylic copolymer composition composed of (A) a specific (meth)acrylic copolymer reactive with the following polyfunctional compound (B) and (B) a polyfunctional compound and having a specific gel fraction.

An oxygen absorption resin composition is provided that comprises a thermoplastic resin (A) having carbon-carbon double bonds substantially in its main chain and a transition metal salt (B). If necessary, the composition further comprises a gas barrier resin (C), a compatibilizer (D) and the like. The composition has excellent oxygen absorption properties, and when the composition is employed, generation of odorous substances derived from the decomposition of resins as a result of oxygen absorption can be suppressed.

Multi-layer coated materials and methods of making them are disclosed. In a specific embodiment, a porous polymeric substrate is pre-activated and immersed in a polyelectrolyte solution to form a first layer having an electric charge and at least one functional group. The coated material is next immersed in a second solution of a material having an electric charge opposite of that of the first layer to provide a bi-layer coating. This process can be repeated to form multi-layer coatings on porous substrates.

A display front plane having an anti-reflection film in thickness uniformity and good adhesion between the anti-reflection film and the base material is supplied. Each of a display lenticular lens and a display fresnel lens having a sophisticated anti-reflection function with a high total light transmittance is also to be provided. As for the display front plane, lenticular lens, fresnel lens relating to the present invention, gas containing a gas for thin film formation is introduced into a discharge space under the atmospheric pressure or the pressure close to it and the gas is activated by applying a high frequency electric field in the discharge space mentioned above. And then, anti-reflection film at least on one side of the surface of the base material is formed by exposing the base material in the aforementioned activated gas.

A method of supporting vocabulary and language learning by positioning at least one microphone so as to capture speech in the listening environment of a learner. The microphone is monitored to develop a speech signal. The speech signal is analyzed to determine at least one characteristic of the speech or vocalization, wherein the characteristic indicates a qualitative or quantitative feature of the speech. The determined characteristic is compared to a preselected standard or such characteristic is tracked to show growth over time and the comparison or growth is reported to the person associated with the speech signal or person who potentially can affect the language environment of the learner.
