  • Patent number: 7541818
    Abstract: In order to direct a probe having directivity that a received band is widened in accordance with a measurement distance, toward a DUT, shift the received band of the probe in sequence, receive electromagnetic, and measure electromagnetic interference, a plurality of long and short measurement distances between the probe and the DUT are set, and measurement at the long measurement distance and measurement at the short measurement distance are performed plural times. Herein, the measurement at the short measurement distance is performed on a received band where electromagnetic interference is measured by the measurement at the long measurement distance. Thus, measurement of electromagnetic interference can be performed with high accuracy in a short time.

  • Publication number: 20080040125
    Abstract: An apparatus for supporting revision of a checklist for checking soundness of a company in accordance with revision of the laws and ordinances is provided. The apparatus comprises a first database of a checklist containing check items associated with provisions of laws/ordinances, a second database of laws/ordinances data including texts of provisions, and a computer for supporting revision of the checklist responsive to entry of revision of laws/ordinances. The computer is programmed to produce revision information indicating deletion, addition or updating of respective provisions of the revised laws and ordinances. The computer deletes from/add to the checklist a name of a provision of the laws/ordinances identified by the revision information, and delete a relevant check item when the revision information indicates deletion/add to the checklist a check item associated with the revised provision when the revision information indicates deletion.

  • Publication number: 20070282643
    Abstract: A management diagnosis report preparation system comprises a first memory for storing, check items for reviewing the achievement of each theme, an check result indication given to respective check items for indicating the check results by an acting department, actions for achieving the themes, and evaluation values indicating the degree of the effectiveness for the action, a second memory for storing past reports including the past themes and actions used for achieving the past themes and a computer for preparing a report. The computer is programmed to increase or decrease the evaluation values of the actions based on a comparison with the past reports, to select an action having a high evaluation value among all the actions related to the check items carrying the check result indication, and to prepare a current report including the selected action and a theme corresponding to a check item carrying the check result indication.

  • Publication number: 20070042736
    Abstract: A gain control section (150) controls an attenuator (101) to change the level of a signal output from the attenuator (101) to variable amplifiers (121, 131) and at the same time controls the variable amplifiers (121, 131) to adjust the gains in the variable amplifiers (121, 131). Through this adjustment, the gain control section (150) determines the respective gains in such a way that a lower limit value of the detection range of a detector (122) matches an upper limit value of the detection range of a detector (132). A detection circuit 100 having such a configuration can easily expand a dynamic range and fully realize an AGC function while preventing deterioration of the detection accuracy attributed to characteristic variations of devices such as amplifiers and detectors.
