  • Publication number: 20240170890
    Abstract: A connector device comprises a connector and a mating connector. The connector and the mating connector are mateable with each other. The connector comprises a housing and a terminal. The housing is provided with an axis portion and a maintenance portion. The mating connector comprises a mating housing and a mating terminal. The mating housing is provided with a mating axis portion and a mating maintenance portion. One of the axis portion and the mating axis portion is a rotation axis with an axis direction. A remaining one of the axis portion and the mating axis portion is a bearing. The connector is rotatable around the rotation axis between an open position and a close position when the axis portion and the mating axis portion are combined with each other. The maintenance portion and the mating maintenance portion temporarily maintain a position of the connector at the open position.

  • Publication number: 20230015354
    Abstract: Upon receiving an interrupt request via any one from among multiple first interrupt signal lines, a serializer identifies an error device which is one device from among the multiple devices that has transmitted the interrupt request and transmits the identification number of the error device to a deserializer. Furthermore, the serializer reads status information from the error device via a first interface and transmits the status information of the error device to the deserializer. The deserializer is structured to store the identification number of the error device and the status information in its internal register, and of transmitting an interrupt request to a controller via a second interrupt signal line. The deserializer transmits the identification number of the error device and the status information to the controller in response to a read command received from the controller.

  • Patent number: 11451697
    Abstract: A controller controls multiple camera modules, and processes video images captured by the multiple camera modules. The controller is configured: (i) to output a frame synchronization signal FSYNC to each of the multiple camera modules; (ii) to receive frame data and a transmission synchronization signal SYNC that is synchronized with the frame data; (iii) to process the multiple items of frame data thus received; and (iv) to acquire a time difference between the corresponding frame synchronization signal and the corresponding transmission synchronization signal for each camera module, so as to adjust the timing of the frame synchronization signal according to the time difference.

  • Patent number: 11184146
    Abstract: Differential input pins are coupled to a differential transmission path. A receiver circuit receives a differential input signal input via the differential input pins. A latch circuit latches an internal differential signal output from the receiver circuit. An evaluation circuit samples the internal differential signal, and generates evaluation data with respect to the waveform of the internal differential signal. A reception device is configured to be capable of providing evaluation data DEVAL to an external circuit.

  • Patent number: 10594518
    Abstract: A first receiver receives second serial data transmitted from a second circuit. A second receiver receives first serial data transmitted from a first circuit. An automatic adjustment circuit generates a control signal so as to reduce an error rate of the first serial data received by the second receiver. A second driver drives a differential transmission path according to the second serial data including the control signal. An operation parameter of a first driver is set based on the control signal included in the second serial data.

  • Publication number: 20080136460
    Abstract: A comparator has: an offset setting portion adapted to set an offset voltage; an offset subtracting portion adapted to subtract the offset voltage from a non-inverting input voltage; and a comparing portion adapted to shift the output logic level thereof according to which of the output voltage of the offset subtracting portion and an inverting input voltage is higher.

  • Patent number: 4106553
    Abstract: A sealing device for a rotary regenerative heat exchanger is provided with a pair of flat, rigid seal ring portions positioned on opposite sides of a rotary type regenerating body, with a minute clearance maintained between the seal ring portions and the peripheral edge portions of the regenerating body, and with at least a pair of cross bar portions extending crosswise past each center of the seal ring portions from one position on the peripheral edge portion of each seal ring portion to another symmetrically opposite position on the same peripheral edge portion of the seal ring portion. The cross bar portions are also spaced a minute clearance from the side surfaces of the regenerating body, the clearances being so predetermined as to effectively seal fluids tending to pass therethrough. The sealing device also provides a spacer ring sandwiched between the opposed seal ring portions as well as a center spacer shaft sandwiched between opposed central portions of the cross bar portions.
