  • Patent number: 7411370
    Abstract: Provided is a vector control apparatus for an induction motor which is capable of obtaining stable rotation in a short period of time for adjustment even at the time of low-speed operation by increasing the SN ratio of an output voltage to suppress the arithmetic error in the primary angular frequency arithmetic value based on a magnetic flux command value calculated from a circuit constant and an actual measurement of the induction motor even in the case where the rotation velocity of the induction motor is lower.

  • Patent number: 7403799
    Abstract: In a base station providing a large-distance service area (large area) such as a mobile communication system WLL of the CDMA method, the time required for performing call search (path search) is reduced so as to reduce the call connection time. When performing a path search in the base station (8), a predetermined offset value from a reference time is set so that path search is performed only in a doughnut-shaped service area (30). Thus, there is no need of performing path search in the vicinity of the base station (8) and search is performed only in the doughnut-shaped service area (30). Thus, it is possible to reduce the path search time and reduce the call connection time.

  • Patent number: 7236467
    Abstract: A satisfactory reception environment is secured efficiently regardless of a degree of the traffic intensity. A pilot power control unit is provided to a base station radio unit. The pilot power control unit controls a desired wave power-to-interference wave power ratio of a pilot signal to stay at a preset value. More specifically, upon receipt of a multiplex wave from a multiplexing unit, the pilot power control unit computes a desired wave power-to-interference wave power ratio of a pilot signal. Then, the pilot power control unit transmits a command signal to a coder to change a transmission power value of the pilot signal in an amount corresponding to a difference between the computed desired wave power-to-interference wave power ratio and a set desired wave power-to-interference wave power ratio.

  • Patent number: 6917599
    Abstract: In a CDMA type mobile communication system, when both a radio channel in an up-link direction and a radio channel in a down-link direction are interrupted, a base station successively increases down-link transmission power by 1 dB in a constant interval until a response is sent from a mobile station, while releasing the normal down-link transmission power control operation. Also, the base station controls a power control bit produced by the base station so as to successively increase up-link transmission power of the mobile station.

  • Patent number: 4631811
    Abstract: A locking device for electronic parts each having two or more lead wires, including clinch pawls which can move a little when they abut on the lead wires. The small movement of these clinch pawls is detected by a detection mechanism and utilized to confirm if a given electronic part has been mounted on a print-circuit board.
