Disclosed herein is a display apparatus including a pixel array and a driver configured to drive the pixel array, the pixel array having scanning lines as rows, signal lines as columns, a matrix of pixels disposed at respective intersections of the scanning lines and the signal lines, and power supply lines disposed along respective rows of the pixels, the driver having a main scanner for successively supplying control signals to the scanning lines to perform line-sequential scanning on the rows of the pixels, a power supply scanner for supplying a power supply voltage, which selectively switches between a first potential and a second potential, to the power supply lines in synchronism with the line-sequential scanning, and a signal selector for supplying a signal potential, which serves as a video signal, and a reference potential to the signal lines as the columns in synchronism with the line-sequential scanning.

The present invention aims to provide an ink which has a sufficiently large area factor even in a small ink droplet quantity and can obtain images having a high image density, and further has a superior storage stability. According to the present invention, a cyan ink is provided which is used in an ink set having four kinds of aqueous inks consisting of a cyan ink, a magenta ink, a yellow ink and a black ink in which each ink comprises at least water, a water-insoluble coloring material, and a plurality of water-soluble organic solvents having a good medium or good mediums for the water-insoluble coloring material and a poor medium or poor mediums for the water-insoluble coloring material, wherein, the ratio B1 / A1 is from 0.5 or more to 3.0 or less, where A1 denotes the total content (mass %) of the good medium based on the total mass of the cyan ink and B1 denotes the total content (mass %) of the poor medium based on the total mass of the cyan ink, and a water-soluble organic solvent which shows the maximum Ka value among the respective Ka values of the plurality of water-soluble organic solvents as determined by the Bristow method is the poor medium.

A power assisted method and injector device for controllably delivering to patients a dispersion medicament or diagnostically active agent, the homogeneity of which is preserved throughout delivery. Diagnostically active agents disclosed are gas microbubble suspensions useful in ultrasonic diagnostic imaging and liposomal formulations in which liposome vesicles are loaded with iodinated compounds.

The present invention provides a battery charging method that charges a battery to a full charged state at a specified voltage. In the battery charging method, the battery is charged to the full charged state at the specified voltage that decreases as battery charging / discharging processes are repeated.

An electrophotographic photosensitive member has a surface having a plurality of depressed portions, having a major-axis diameter Rpc of 0.1 to 10 μm, a minor-axis diameter Lpc of 0.1 to 10 μm and a deepest-part to opening distance Rdv of 0.1 to 10 μm. Where the surface is equally divided into 4 regions in the rotational direction, which are then equally divided into 25 regions in the direction falling at right angles with the rotational direction, to obtain 100-spot regions A in total, and, in each thereof, square regions B of 50 μm each per side one side of which is parallel to the rotational direction are provided and the regions B are each equally divided into 500 zones by straight lines parallel to the rotational direction, 400 to 499 lines among the straight lines pass through the depressed portions in each of the regions B.

A network based positioning (NBP) system is disclosed that allows any of its access points (APs) to initiate ranging operations with a station device (STA), regardless of whether the STA is in power save mode and regardless of whether a particular AP is currently associated with the STA. For example, to initiate ranging operations with the STA from a non-associated AP, the non-associated AP obtains the TSF timer of the associated AP, and then uses the obtained TSF timer to derive the associated AP's beacon transmission schedule and thereby determine when the STA's corresponding wake-up periods occur. Thereafter, the non-associated AP can initiate ranging operations with the STA during the STA wake-up periods, thereby ensuring that probes sent from the non-associated AP will arrive at the STA while the STA is awake from power save mode.

Systems and methodologies are provided for enforcing a set of conditions such that prior to a commit stage of a transaction, a space availability for a particular page can be typically assured (e.g., that transactions operating on various copies of the page do not consume all of storage space on that page), and reorganization of data around the page is mitigated (e.g., that a transaction need not move data around the page for purpose of merging various copies.) A page aggregator and a heap manager can facilitate operations of concurrent transactions at a subpage level (e.g., a row level), during such modifications of a data base by multiple users.

A method and apparatus for enclosing a user is provided. The user is shielded from the ambient conditions existing outside a portable enclosure. The enclosure includes an insulation system. The insulation system includes a radiant barrier.

A hinge includes a pivot, two connection members pivotally connected by the pivot, a first magnetic part connected to one of the connection members, a second magnetic part moveably disposed relative to the first magnetic part and kinetically connected to the other one of the connection members, and an adjustment part kinetically connected to the other connection member and urging against the adjustment part. The magnetic moment of the second magnetic part is opposite to that of the first magnetic part. When the two connection members rotate relatively, the other connection member drives the adjustment part and the second magnetic part to rotate relative to the first magnetic part, so as to produce a repulsive moment resisting the rotation and varies with the rotation. A foldable electronic apparatus has the hinge.

In a system for warning a failure to wear a seat belt to urge a vehicle operator to wear the seat belt, a sound emitter is activated when a vehicle speed is higher than a threshold level and the seat belt is not fastened. The sound emitter cyclically alternates between a sound emitting state and a silent state when activated, the silent state lasting for a period of at least three seconds each time. Because the silent state is interposed between sound emitting states and because the warning is not emitted when traveling for a short period of time at a low speed, for instance, in a parking garage or the like or when the vehicle is stationary, the annoyance to the vehicle operator is minimized while allowing the vehicle operator to be kept warned.

A sensor device for detecting at least one property of a flowing fluid medium includes: at least one moisture sensor; and at least one application device for applying the flowing fluid medium to the moisture sensor. The application device includes at least one diaphragm and at least one protective device which has at least one guide rib structure.
