  • Publication number: 20170135107
    Abstract: When bandwidth is dynamically allocated for audio communication via satellite communication, newly occurring audio communication can negatively affect the communication quality of the existing audio communication. Provided is a data communication apparatus that communicates via a satellite and includes an allocation control section that allocates in advance, for audio communication via the satellite, a bandwidth that is larger than a bandwidth needed for current audio communication being performed via satellite by at least a predetermined bandwidth. A program causes a computer to function as this data communication apparatus. A satellite communication system includes this data communication apparatus and this satellite.

  • Publication number: 20080239971
    Abstract: An MAC address of each of devices under testing is entered. An IP address is assigned to each entered MAC address. The IP addresses and telephone numbers assigned to the devices and a failure test terminal are associated with one another and registered in a system server. Out of telephones connected to the devices, sets of two telephones are determined. For each set, a call is made from a first telephone connected to the device to a second telephone connected to another device. When the communication is established, a call is made from the called second telephone to the first telephone. If the communication is not established, communication with a telephone connected to the failure test terminal is tried. Thereby, adequate test on a large number of devices with simple operation is possible in performing an operation test on a VoIP device.

  • Patent number: 7034782
    Abstract: A display panel driving device that can obviate the need for constant current driving circuits in an anode driver circuit, in which a light emission column electrode lines is opened in a light emission period during scanning of each line of a display panel, and parasitic capacitors of light emitting elements are used to allow leak current from the combined parasitic capacitors of the non-scanned elements to the scanned elements to serve as the light emission current of the scanned elements.

  • Publication number: 20040080473
    Abstract: The present invention provides a display panel drive system that can reduce the driver circuit power consumption and heat generation. The lighting rate of the light emitting elements in the display panel is calculated. The higher the lighting rate is, the higher the value of the voltage supplied to the driver circuit for driving the light emitting elements is set. The calculation of the lighting rate may be performed for each frame or each line of the display screen.
