  • Patent number: 11984924
    Abstract: A transmit/receive module includes plural duplexers, a power amplifier, and a sending transmission line. The plural duplexers operate in bands different from each other and each includes a transmit filter and a receive filter. The power amplifier amplifies signals of pass bands of the plural transmit filters and outputs the amplified signals. The sending transmission line is connected to the plural transmit filters. The signals of the pass bands of the plural transmit filters output from the power amplifier are transmitted through the sending transmission line.

  • Patent number: 11970752
    Abstract: Provided are: a steel sheet having a high strength and excellent hydrogen embrittlement resistance; and a method of producing the same. The steel sheet has prescribed chemical composition and structure, in which a standard deviation ? of Mn concentration satisfies ??0.15 Mnave (wherein, Mnave represents an average Mn concentration) and a region with a Mn concentration of higher than (Mnave+1.3?) has a circle-equivalent diameter of less than 10.0 ?m. The method of producing the steel sheet includes: the hot rolling step that includes finish rolling a slab having a prescribed chemical composition under prescribed conditions; the step of coiling the thus obtained hot-rolled steel sheet at a coiling temperature of 450 to 700° C.; and the step of cold rolling the hot-rolled steel sheet and subsequently annealing this steel sheet at 800 to 900° C.

  • Publication number: 20240116736
    Abstract: A position measuring unit detects a present position of a car. A point-of-origin detecting unit detects a passage of the car at a point-of-origin position which is separated by a distance set in advance from a landing position of the car. Each of pattern generating units generates a run pattern based on mutually different algorithms. In each run pattern, an acceleration from before the car passes the point-of-origin position until the car stops is continuous. A pattern selecting unit selects a run pattern which minimizes a landing time as a run pattern which a run control unit causes a run of the car to follow based on a present position. The pattern selecting unit makes the selection based on a speed of the car at a timing when the car passes the point-of-origin position.

  • Patent number: 11830464
    Abstract: A wireless communication device and a wireless communication method are provided. When a master mode is set in a mode memory, a mode setting notification is transmitted to a different wireless communication device. When a mode setting permission notification for the mode setting notification is received from the different wireless communication device, the master mode is settled as a communication mode, and the master mode is set in the mode memory. When a slave mode is set in the mode memory and when a mode setting notification is received from the different wireless communication device, the slave mode is settled as the communication mode, the slave mode is set in the mode memory, and a mode setting permission notification is transmitted to the different wireless communication device. Thus, the communication mode can be automatically set in a pair of wireless communication devices.

  • Patent number: 11663999
    Abstract: A wireless communication device and a wireless communication method capable of curbing occurrence of latency even when performing wireless communication at predetermined time intervals are provided. MIDI data is transmitted and received by communication (B) performed through a wireless module during an intermission between communications (A) performed at predetermined time intervals through the wireless module. Accordingly, a communication speed for wireless communication is improved. Therefore, compared to a case in which wireless communication is performed by only the communication (A), MIDI data can be quickly transmitted and received, and thus occurrence of latency can be curbed.
