Japanese architecture
1. Japanese architecture has a long history similar to that of other aspects of Japanese culture, characterized by periods of interaction with foreign influences interspersed with long periods of isolation during which unique traits developed. Buildings of the Yayoi periods were mostly agricultural residences, with larger buildings and tombs appearing as an aristocracy developed. Wooden buildings from the Asuka period, preserved in Horyuji Temple, were built in the style of Chinese worship halls. Japanese buildings continued to follow the Chinese style of horizontal buildings with heavy tile roofs supported by timber frames, but developed unique characteristics reflecting Buddhist values.
2. During the Kamakura and Muromachi periods, the samurai expanded the compounds of the aristocracy to include living quarters for military personnel. Eventually, (daimyo) warlords built castles from which to defend their domains. During the Tokugawa era, when there were no military conflicts, many daimyo built large residences and parks in the city of Edo for their families.
3. After the Meiji Restoration in 1868, Japan began to build European-style buildings. The widespread destruction of Japanese cities during World War II cleared the way for the construction of large numbers of steel-framed, box-shaped utilitarian buildings, which provoked an adverse reaction during the 1970s, leading to a variety of new styles and architectural treatments incorporating traditional elements into modern designs. Japan’s best-known modern architects include Kenzo Tange, Maekawa Kunio, Fumihiko Maki, Isozaki Arata, and Tadao Ando. 4. Japanese architecture has influenced Western architecture with its emphasis on simplicity, horizontal lines, and flexible spaces. Frank Lloyd Wright was strongly influenced by Japanese spatial arrangements and the concept of interpenetrating exterior and interior space, long achieved in Japan by using walls made of sliding doors that opened onto covered verandas and gardens.

International Telecommunication Union
1. The International Telecommunication Union, originally founded as the International Telegraph Union, is a specialized agency of the United Nations which is responsible for information and communication technologies. The International Telecommunication Union coordinates the shared global use of the radio spectrum, promotes international cooperation in assigning satellite orbits, works to improve telecommunication infrastructure in the developing world, and assists in the development and coordination of worldwide technical standards.
2. The International Telecommunication Union also organizes worldwide and regional exhibitions and forums, such as ITU TELECOM WORLD, bringing together representatives of government and the telecommunications and ICT industry to exchange ideas, knowledge and technology.
3. The International Telecommunication Union is active in areas including broadband Internet, latest-generation wireless technologies, aeronautical and maritime navigation, radio astronomy, satellite-based meteorology, convergence in fixed-mobile phone, Internet access, data, voice, TV broadcasting, and next-generation networks.
4. The International Telecommunication Union is based in Geneva, Switzerland, is a member of the United Nations Development Group and its membership includes 193 Member States and around 700 Sector Members and Associates.

Wireless technology
1. Wireless telecommunications, is the transfer information between two or more points that are physically not connected. Distances can be short, as a few meters as in television remote control; or long ranging from thousands to millions of kilometers for deep-space radio communications. It encompasses various types of fixed, mobile, and portable two-way radios, cellular telephones, personal digital assistants (PDAs), and wireless networking.
2. Wireless operations permit services, such as long range communications that are impossible or impractical to implement with the use of wires. The term is commonly used in the telecommunications industry to refer to telecommunications systems which use some form of energy to transfer information without the use of wires.
3. The world's first wireless telephone conversation occurred in 1880, when Alexander Graham Bell and Charles Sumner Tainter invented and patented the photophone, a telephone that conducted audio conversations wirelessly over modulated light beams. In that distant era when utilities did not yet exist to provide electricity, and lasers had not even been conceived of in science fiction, there were no practical applications for their invention, which was highly limited by the availability of both sunlight and good weather.

Advertising
1. Advertising is one of the largest industries. It is an important means of promoting the goods that are being produced as well as new lines in business. There are specialized firms dealing with advertising, different kinds of mass media (TV, radio, newspapers, cinema, journals, magazines, posters) are used for advertising goods. Special leaflets, booklets and other printed matter about goods may be published for the same purpose. Participation in fairs and exhibitions helps to promote the goods as well.
2. Advertising benefits consumers and the economy in a number of ways: it provides us with information about prices, appearance of certain new goods and services, and their availability; advertising often results in lower prices because by creating mass markets, advertising enables producers to reduce the costs of their products and pass those savings on to the consumers; advertising stimulates competition, and competition benefits all of us; advertising pays most of the cost of magazines and newspapers, and all of the cost of commercial radio and TV.
Advertising helps the economy as a whole by stimulating consumer demand. Consumer spending has a direct effect on the health of the economy. Advertising helps to keep that spending at healthy levels.
3. Not everyone agrees that advertising benefits the economy. Critics list the following points of its disadvantages: the information contained in advertising does not inform and often misleads the consumer; because it costs money to advertise, this cost is added to the price consumers pay; consumers are tempted to spend money for products they do not really need; radio and TV are not really free because the cost of advertising on them is also passed on to the consumer.

LES EVOLUTIONS POSSIBLES DE LA ROBOTIQUE
1. La microrobotique est un champ d'étude en plein essor. La compréhension des phénomènes physiques dans la manipulation à l'échelle du micromètre et la miniaturisation des mécanismes sont d'un intérêt crucial pour la micro-ingénierie. Les recherches concernent aussi bien les capteurs, que les actionneurs et les préhenseurs.
2. De nombreux roboticiens se concentrent aujourd'hui sur la locomotion humaine et animale. C'est une problématique difficile, en partie à cause de la puissance de calcul nécessaire. L'étude des robots à pattes a été menée depuis plusieurs décennies, surtout sur les robots hexapodes, quadripèdes, etc. La tendance était alors de copier la flexibilité, la robustesse et l'adaptabilité des insectes. Ce type de robot est statiquement stable, et donc plus facile à contrôler.
3. Aujourd'hui on assiste à une intensification de la recherche sur la locomotion bipède, qui est par nature dynamiquement stable, donc plus difficile à maîtriser. Mais les avantages sont considérables: progression dans la connaissance de la bipédie, meilleur franchissement d'obstacle et adaptation à l'environnement humain. Ainsi de nombreuses universités et entreprises, surtout japonaises, se sont lancées dans la construction de robots humanoïdes.
4. La robotique médicale est également très active. De nouveaux robots sont développés pour la chirurgie mini-invasive et la téléchirurgie. De nouvelles techniques sont exploitées, comme les actionneurs AMS (alliages à mémoire de forme), la microrobotique et les interfaces haptiques. Des algorithmes d'analyse d'images sont développés dans la même voie. La recherche s'est aussi orientée vers la navigation, la localisation et la planification de trajectoire. L'exploration sous-marine et spatiale sont des domaines où la robotique est d'une grande utilité. Les développements futurs concernent aussi la vision robotique, notamment dans le but de concevoir des véhicules «intelligents», ou des robots de surveillance et d'exploration.
