Patent number: 7953189Abstract: When a correlation judging circuit judges that the correlation degree between r pulses in a reception signal and a generated substantially the same template as the r pulses is small, a pulse number adjusting circuit outputs a pulse number signal representing s pulses in place of the r pulses, and a template generating circuit generates the substantially the same template as the s pulses, whereby the correlation judging circuit judges the correlation degree between the r pulses in the reception signal and the generated substantially the same template as the s pulses. Accordingly, even when a confronted transmitter changes the number of pulses contained in a reception signal, synchronization capture of the reception signal can be established.Type: GrantFiled: March 6, 2008Date of Patent: May 31, 2011Assignee: Seiko Epson CorporationInventors: Isuke Karaki, Makoto Inoguchi

Patent number: 7218185Abstract: A filter circuit is provided wherein one end of an inductor is connected to one end of a capacitor to form a signal input end. The other end of the inductor is connected to a first switch circuit, and the other end of the capacitor is connected to a second switch circuit. When a lower-frequency signal in a 2.4 GHz band is to be inputted, a low-pass filter circuit is formed by connecting the other end of the inductor to a signal output end and the other end of the capacitor to ground, and when a higher-frequency signal in a 5 GHz band is to be inputted, a high-pass filter circuit is formed by connecting the other end of the inductor to ground and the other end of the capacitor to the signal output end, by manipulating the first and second switch circuits.Type: GrantFiled: September 17, 2004Date of Patent: May 15, 2007Assignee: Seiko Epson CorporationInventors: Toru Watanabe, Makoto Inoguchi

Patent number: 7107058Abstract: A printer that enables a determination whether a failure has occurred in a device during initialization or a radio wave condition is bad. Receive electric field strength during a time period from a time at which a turn-off message is outputted to a time at which turn-on message is outputted and receive electric field strength after the turn-on message is outputted are measured. The measurements are compared with each other and information indicating the condition of each of a plurality of channels is printed out according to the results of the comparison. A user can reference the printed information to determine whether a failure has occurred in a device or the radio wave condition is bad.Type: GrantFiled: March 28, 2002Date of Patent: September 12, 2006Assignee: Seiko Epson CorporationInventors: Makoto Inoguchi, Osamu Honda, Isuke Karaki, Masahiro Kitano
