A spread spectrum communication system, which can detect the synchronization of the spread code surely even when the carrier-to-noise ratio is low, and can detect the boundary of the data. Wherein two types of spread code S20, S21 are transmitted from a transmitter 21 as an initial synchronizing signal based on a predetermined transmission pattern, and two types of spread code are respectively detected at a receiver 22. The predetermined transmission pattern is detected based on the detected two...

A recording/reproducing method for recording/reproducing digital signals on plural slanted tracks of a tape-shaped recording medium, in which, even if some of the slanted tracks are erased due to junction recording or after-recording, the signals can be reproduced satisfactorily. The input digital signals are divided into upper order bits and lower order bits, and the upper order bits are further divided into upper order side bits and lower order side bits. The data corresponding to the upper or...

A mechanism for advancing and retreating a movable die plate toward and from a fixed die plate includes a moving base in which the upper surface thereof is connected integrally with the movable die plate and a slide unit is installed on the lower surface thereof. A pair of track rails are provided on the base and form a linear guide by engaging with the slide unit. A ball screw shaft is supported in parallel with the track rails by a bearing provided on the base and has an axial direction restra...

In a telecommunication system a service area is divided into a plurality of cells. Radio base stations are disposed corresponding to individual cells of the plurality of cells. Each radio base station stores regional information such as disaster information, advertisement information, and shopping information. When a communication is made between a radio base station and a portable telephone terminal, regional information such as disaster information, advertisement information, and shopping info...

A two-staged coupling transformer comprised of an up-stream coupling transformer and a down-stream coupling transformer are successively provided between an input terminal and an output terminal, wherein respective primary windings are connected to the input side while secondary windings are connected to the output side. The up-stream coupling transformer and the down-stream coupling transformer are set to be of identical turns ratios and are connected by respectively converting each other.

A silver halide light-sensitive photographic material which is capable to form magenta dye image of substantially improved light-fastness and to form non-colored portion free from Y-stain is disclosed. The material comprises compounds represented by general formula M-I and II in the layers separately or together. ##STR1##

In a hardening temperature profile of a paste material for fixing a lead-frame to a semiconductor chip, a heating temperature from a first sub-zone to a third sub-zone is set to 150.degree. C. and a heating temperature from a fourth sub-zone to a sixth sub-zone is set to a maximum value of 230.degree. C. at a first heating step of a chip fixing step. Then, in the hardening temperature profile, a heating temperature of a seventh sub-zone is set to 180.degree. C. having a drop width from the sixth...

A coreless thermal transfer recording web roll 10 is formed by rolling a thermal transfer recording web 10a in a roll. An inner end part 11 of the thermal transfer recording web 10a of the thermal transfer recording web roll 10 has a tab 11a formed at a substantially middle of the inner end part 11, and sticking parts 11b formed on the opposite sides of the tab 11a, respectively. Pseudoadhesive double-coated tapes 14 are attached to the sticking parts 11b, respectively. The pseudoadhesive double...

A hair cosmetic composition comprising a branched fatty acids of the following formula (1), ##STR1## wherein R.sup.1 is a methyl or ethyl group, n is an integer of 4-16, and R.sup.2 is an amino, alkoxy, or glycerol group. The composition imparts excellent sensation to hair and prevents hairs from being damaged.
