A DC to 40GHz Low Cost Surface Mountable RF-VIA TM Package

The ultimate goal for low cost packages for millimeterwave MMIC is to realize a miniature, light weight surface mount type package. This paper describes the design technologies of newly developed package, where we optimized via design by multilayer ceramic structure. As a result, insertion loss is about –0.5dB at 40 GHz (measurement include mounting board + one feedthrough) has been realized

Supporting Lifelong Learning In The Information Age

Many countries are considering lifelong learning, which is becoming an important education goal, and promoting lifelong learning in the information age. With the development of Information and Communications Technology (ICT), digital divides have become a major concern in the world. In this study, we focus on three dimensions of digital divides in the field of lifelong learning: education organization, age, and national penetration. Next, we report our findings that provide solutions for combating digital divides by developing web-based learning and support environments over a three-year period: (1) a blended learning support system that helps teachers manage learning resources and create blended learning programs and learners choose and participate in learning activities; (2) an “E-namoSupport” system for senior beginners to use the Internet, as implemented in Japan; (3) a “Senior Internet Support & Learning Environment” to help senior citizens improve their Internet literacy and enjoy the information age in China

Proposal And Pilot Study Of Introductory Learning Course In Personal Computers For Japanese Senior Citizens

We propose a new introductory course in personal computers for senior citizens who have not yet successfully learned how to operate them. In this paper, we discuss that existing IT class courses, their relevant problems, and the development of a course to solve these problems

A Museum Exhibits Support System Based on History and Culture Literacy

[[abstract]]Museums need an interactive data collection and visualisation tool for their artefacts. This paper describes a study in which we enable access to Chinese and Japanese cultural heritage information from two history museums, the National Palace Museum in Taiwan and the Tokugawa Art Museum in Japan. Results from these museum databases were used to develop a prototype system to demonstrate advanced cultural learning and historical timeline functionalities for foreigners. This system is based on temporal data from the museums’ databases, and provided the user with powerful data manipulation and graphical visualisation tools. It might become a basis of an interactive digital museum system for Chinese and Japanese heritages especially for foreign users.[[journaltype]]國外[[ispeerreviewed]]Y[[booktype]]電子版[[countrycodes]]GB
