Abstract:
A mobile communication base station antenna has two array antennas juxtaposed in a horizontal direction. Each of the array antennas includes a plurality of antenna element pairs arranged in a vertical direction. Each of the antenna element pairs includes two antenna elements having polarization characteristics perpendicular to each other. A shield plate is provided between the two array antennas. The plurality of antenna element pairs of each of the two array antennas are classified into a first group of M-antenna element pairs, a second group of N-antenna element pairs, and a third group of P-antenna element pairs from one end to another end of the two array antennas (M, N, and P are positive integers, respectively). The electric power is fed from one feeding point to the antenna elements of the first and third group of one of the two array antennas and the antenna elements of the second group of another of the two array antennas, and a tilt angle of the two array antennas with respect to a horizontal plane is set to be a predetermined tilt angle by electrical tilting.

Each of the array antennas has an antenna element pair array including a plurality of antenna element pairs arranged in a vertical plane. Each of the antenna element pairs has two antenna elements having polarization characteristics orthogonal to each other. Two feeding points are provided for feeding an electric power to the two antenna elements respectively. The array antennas are arranged in a vertical plane, and the antenna element pairs included in one of the array antennas and the antenna element pairs included in other of the array antennas are arranged alternately, at least in a part between the array antennas adjacent to each other.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a process for purifying a hydroxycarboxylic acid, comprising: a crystallization step of subjecting a hydroxycarboxylic acid aqueous solution to crystallization for purification, a separation step of separating a hydroxycarboxylic acid crystal from a mother liquid, and a washing step of washing the hydroxycarboxylic acid crystal for further purification with a washing liquid, wherein the washing liquid is a hydroxycarboxylic acid aqueous solution. The purified or refined hydroxycarboxylic acid obtained through the above process is suitably used as a starting material for production of a polyhydroxycarboxylic acid. The above process is suitably included in a process for producing a cyclic ester and a process for producing a polyhydroxycarboxylic acid.

Abstract:
An image processing apparatus has a data reading section, a controlling section, and a display section. The data reading section reads a reproduced file selected from a first file and a second file. Here, the first file includes data of a first image together with metadata indicating a location of a second image related to the first image. The second file includes the data of the first image but do not include the metadata. The controlling section detects the metadata from the reproduced file. The display section performs display of indicating existence of the second image on a first screen reproducing the first image of the reproduced file when the controlling section detects the metadata.
Abstract:
Various component parts of a driver circuit for drive sources such as electric motors and clutches, such as relays and FETs as well as the drive sources can be tested by selectively energizing the relays and evaluating the voltage levels of the selected points by using the first and second test voltage detection circuits. This testing process is typically executed before the power up of the drive circuit. The test current is so small that the drive sources would not be inadvertently activated and various components would not be damaged even when there is any faulty component in the driver circuit. When any faulty component is detected in the testing process, the driver circuit may be prevented from being powered up so that any undesired operation of the drive sources or permanent damage to various components owing to such a faulty component may be avoided.

Abstract:
In a control circuit for a vehicle windshield wiper system, a relay energization retaining circuit forms a self-sustaining circuit jointly with a relay drive transistor for driving a wiper relay, and maintains supply of electric current to the wiper motor when the ON signal for the relay drive transistor is terminated as long as the auto stop switch is at the brake position until the auto stop switch subsequently moves on to the drive position. Therefore, when the signal which normally turns on the relay drive transistor is terminated during the time the auto stop switch is at the brake position, because the relay energization retaining circuit keeps the wiper motor running until the auto stop switch changes over from the brake position to the drive position, and the auto stop switch then takes over the task of keeping the wiper motor running until the auto stop switch changes over from the drive position to the brake position, the termination of electric current to the wiper motor always occurs at the time when the auto stop switch changes over from the drive position to the brake position so that the distance or the angular range of the overrunning of the wiper motor is fixed without regard to the timing of terminating the ON signal. Thus, according to the present invention, the rest position of the wiper blade is fixed under all operating conditions.
