  • Publication number: 20120092677
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an apparatus having a simple configuration capable of correctly detecting malfunction of an OCT apparatus by detecting the states of a light source and a sensor. An image pickup apparatus includes a switching unit that switches between a first mode in which a combined light beam of a return light beam from a specimen and a reference light beam is detectable by a detecting unit and a second mode in which the reference light beam is detectable by the detecting unit. The image pickup apparatus is switchable to the first mode on the basis of an intensity of the reference light beam detected by the detecting unit in the second mode.

  • Patent number: 8159945
    Abstract: An overload on a communication path in a sensor network system is prevented while transferring information from a sensor node as close to real time as possible. When the transfer rate of events transferred from a boundary node (DR) toward a gateway (GW) exceeds a limit transfer rate (VL), one of nodes on the sensor node (S) side whose transmission rate meets a preset condition is identified as an excess transmission rate node. The excess transmission rate node, or a node that is not the excess transmission rate node and whose transmission rate should be reduced, is chosen as a deceleration node. A node that reduces the transmission rate of events from the deceleration node, or the transfer rate of the events, is chosen as a deceleration processing executing node. The deceleration processing executing node is instructed to execute preset processing.

  • Patent number: 8094975
    Abstract: Provided is an information processing system which has a plurality of tags, a tag reader, a digital-pen, and a server. The plurality of tags each hold a tag identifier. The tag reader reads the tag identifier held in each of the plurality of tags. The digital-pen reads location information, which identifies a location where handwriting is made on paper. The server keeps work record including information that associates the tag identifier recorded in the server in advance with the location on paper. When it is judged that the read tag identifier and a handwriting location identified by the location information are associated with each other, the server judges whether or not the read tag identifier matches the tag identifier recorded in advance that is associated by the work record with the handwriting location identified by the location information. The server outputs a result of the judging.

  • Patent number: 7831283
    Abstract: A plural-data transmission Start message is transmitted prior to transmission of plural data to an intermittent operation type wireless communications terminal, and when transmission of plural data is completed, a plural-data transmission End message is transmitted. The terminal which received the plural-data transmission Start message can change over the sleep period of the aforesaid intermittent operation to a shorter sleep period. Thereby, an improvement in the response performance in the case of plural-data delivery can be simultaneously obtained while maintaining the low power performance of a sensor node.

  • Publication number: 20100274946
    Abstract: In an LSI system using an on-chip bus, when a transfer on the bus is delayed due to a fully loaded buffer in a destination module, a source module cannot proceed to the next processing. Such an unwanted situation is eliminated by plural transferring buffers which are provided in an on-chip bus on the LSI for temporarily storing transfer data. With the transferring buffers, even if a buffer within a slave module, specified as the destination, is fully loaded and cannot accept any more transfer, a bus master can transfer data to a transferring buffer provided on the on-chip bus. Thus, the bus master is not kept waiting for execution of a transfer, irrespective of the state of the buffer within the slave. With the provision of plural transferring buffers, input/output operations can be performed in parallel.

  • Patent number: 7761561
    Abstract: A sensor node may be used for another purpose for a moment and may also be replaced. By configuring, for a sensor node, a logic node which is provided with the physical node use information indicating whether or not the sensor node is in use and the logical node use information indicating whether or not the sensor node is provided as a logic node, a sensor node to be replaced may be specified based on the replacement request of the sensor node, a sensor node is selected which is configured as logic node providing the physical node use information indicating that the sensor node is not used and the logic node use information indicating that the sensor node is provided as the logic node, thus selected sensor node is identified as the replacing sensor node to achieve the replacement from the replaced sensor node to the replacing sensor node.

  • Patent number: 7668684
    Abstract: In a sensor network system for transferring sensing data measured by a sensor node to a host server based upon a process condition, the process condition can be easily set. The host server (4) previously sets a transmission condition which is used to transmit only an event satisfying a preset condition to the host server (4). When the host server (4) receives a joined event from a PAN management server (2), the host server (4) transmits to the PAN management server (2) a transmission condition corresponding to an identifier of an ID of a sensor node (1) of a transmission source of the joined event, and the PAN management server (2) transfers only an observed event satisfying the transmission condition to the host server (4).
