Dear SG 16 colleagues, I have been working for Graphics Communication Laboratories (GCL) these four years. However, it finished its R&D activities at the end of last March as set out at the time of its establishment in 1993. I would like to thank you for all of your kind help and cooperation given to me for my GCL works. After returning to ASCII Corporation, of which I am an employee, I am now sent to Waseda Research Center of TA0 (Telecommunications Advancement Organization of Japan) from 1 May. As Researcher, I will engage in the study of "Project on Digital Storage Media Architecture and Access Control System." Though my previous e-mail address okubo@gctech.co.jp works for a while, please update my entry to your address book as okubo@giti.or.jp at an early occasion. Note 1: ASCII Corporation was established in 1977 by Mr. Kazuhiko Nishi and others. It is now focusing on the business of publication, games and education. It became a member of CSK group at the end of 1997. Note 2: TAO was established in 1979 as an authorized corporation of Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications. It conducts control of communication and broadcasting satellites of Japan and promotes R&D activities for advanced telecommunication and broadcasting technologies. Note 3: Waseda Research Center is one of the institutes created by TAO which contribute to remarkable advancement of the telecommunication and broadcasting technologies by bridging basic research and applied research. Best regards, Sakae OKUBO (Mr.) *********************************************************** Waseda Research Center Telecommunications Advancement Organization of Japan (TAO) 5th Floor, Nishi-Waseda Bldg. 1-21-1 Nishi-Waseda, Shinjuku-ku, Tokyo 169-0051 Japan Tel: +81 3 5286 3830 Fax: +81 3 5287 7287 e-mail: okubo@giti.or.jp ***********************************************************
