Mitsubishi Electric Corporation has developed a low power baseband modem LSI for W-CDMA mobile phones. The LSI was installed in D900i, achieving approx. 170/90 minutes of continuous talk time for voice/video phones, and approx. 550/420 hours of continuous standby time in stationary/moving states respectively. The architecture of this LSI is similar to that of the baseband modem LSI chipset used...

BACKGROUND As well as biomedical risk factors, psychological factors have been reported to be related to mortality rate. The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between life satisfaction and mortality in elderly people through an 11.8-year follow-up study of a prospective cohort. METHODS Among 3,600 participants of the Kangwha Cohort Study who survived in 1994, 1,939 respond...

BACKGROUND To analyze casualties from the Camp Eagle Study, focusing on life-saving interventions (LSI) and potentially survivable deaths. METHODS Retrospective cohort of battle casualties from a forward base engaged in urban combat in Central Iraq. Medical support included emergency medicine practitioners and combat medics with advanced training and protocols. LSI were defined as advanced ai...

Individual authentication increases in importance as network technology advances. IC passport, SIM card and ID card used in entering and leaving management systems are dependent on a cryptography circuit for keeping their security. LSI chips used there usually include cryptography circuits and encrypt/decrypt important data such as ID numbers and electronic money information. However, there is ...

The thinking styles of selected Canadian farm managers are identified using the life styles inventory (LSI). The farmers’ LSI scores are compared with those of a base sample of nonfarmers, and correla­ tions between the farmers’ LSI scores and financial indicators are examined. Results indicate that farm­ ers do thinking differently than nonfarmers and that there are significant correlations be...

Latent Semantic Indexing (LSI) is one of the well-liked techniques in the information retrieval fields. Different from the traditional information retrieval techniques, LSI is not based on the keyword matching simply. It uses statistics and algebraic computations. Based on Singular Value Decomposition (SVD), the higher dimensional matrix is converted to a lower dimensional approximate matrix, o...

For installing many sensors in a limited space with a limited computing resource, the digitization of the sensor output at the site of sensation has advantages such as a small amount of wiring, low signal interference and high scalability. For this purpose, we have developed a dedicated Complementary Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor (CMOS) Large-Scale Integration (LSI) (referred to as "sensor platform...

BACKGROUND Tissue oximetry (StO2) plus a vascular occlusion test is a noninvasive technology that targets indices of oxygen uptake and delivery. We hypothesize that prehospital tissue oximetric values and vascular occlusion test response can predict the need for in-hospital lifesaving interventions (LSI). METHODS We conducted a prospective, blinded observational study to evaluate StO2 slopes ...

The intermediate portion of the lateral septum (LSi) contains high levels of urocortin (UCN) peptide and type 2 corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH) receptor (CRHR2) and has anatomic and functional connections with the lateral hypothalamus (LH). We tested the effect of UCN in the LSi on feeding. Injection of 10 or 30 pmol UCN into LSi significantly decreased feeding in food-deprived rats for 2...
