American Stanford University (Stanford University) being center, distributed computing project on of a worldwide scale which is being advanced. From 2000 October start CPU 1,000,000 or more participates in the entire world.

Utilizing the surplus power of the personal computer which is connected to Internet, you analyze folding the protein, the Alzheimer's disease and the mania cow illness (BSE), you designate that it uses in disease remedy of the parkinson's disease and the cancer etc as purpose.

The protein does with the high polymer which forms the organism, with large ones several tens of thousands of thing atoms connecting. When the big protein shows the three-dimensional structure where the long molecular chain was folded in a complicated way, the same atomic arrangement with three-dimensional structure, there are times when behavior with ch (chemical formula structural formula differs is same)aracter and in vivo changes. That it is pulled up by the protein which mutates in the three-dimensional structure which usually differs, it is informed, several of incurable disease the formation process and the reaction etc for the medicine are inspected, the research which can be connected to remedy is advanced.

The portable telephone service with the IMT-2000 system where NTT [dokomo] starts test service in 2001 May, starts this service from October of the same year. It is located to the 3rd generation whom it comes after analog system and PDC system as a generation of the portable telephone.

International electrical machinery and appliances communication combination (ITU) it is one of technical specifications of standard IMT-2000 of the next generation portable telephone system which is decided, “W-CDMA” is adopted.

As for IMT-2000 high speed data communication with feature, as for the packet transmission service which is offered to FOMA service start beginning, data communication of descent 384kbps and the rising 64kbps with best effort type is possible. As for transmission speed with circuit switching system 64kbps. It is assumed that in the future, transmission speed when standing still descends and improves to 2Mbps.

Field:
Portable telephone > data communication > FOMA High Speed

It is offered with portable telephone service FOMA of NTT [dokomo], high speed data transmission service. The 3rd generation portable telephone (3G) by the fact that it corresponds to the acceleration standard “HSDPA” of W-CDMA which is communication standard, transmission speed descended and achieved maximum 3.6Mbps. With respect to of theory is standardized to same 14Mbps, but presently it becomes the correspondence to 3.6Mbps. It starts also 2 models of the corresponding terminal and the new service which utilizes high-speed communication.

With NTT [dokomo] the “music channel” is started as a new service. When with the service which utilizes the high-speed communication of HSDPA, favorite ones are chosen from the music program which is prepared, audio information of longest 1 hours is transmitted to the terminal automatically in the time zone of nighttime. Music of the 48kbps/AAC format approximately 10 tunes be able to transmit with the program of 1 hours, it becomes 25MB as a capacity.

By the terminal of portable telephone service “FOMA” correspondence of NTT [dokomo] it is used in the identification of the user, the installation and removal possible small-sized IC card. One kind of UIM.

Be able to register the telephone number and mail address and the address register etc of this person to memory of built-in, the case of type modification removing this, just replaces to the new terminal procedure completes. In addition, the user possessing the plural terminals by separating the information of the terminal and contract, adjusting to use, also it became possible to use properly.
