Abstract: A radio base station apparatus adaptively controls a modulation and coding scheme of a downlink line in accordance with a quality of the downlink line to communicate with a mobile station over the air. During scheduling, a priority calculation module calculates a priority for a transmission candidate signal to the mobile station based on a reference quality, which is set for each modulation and coding scheme, and on the downlink line quality. A scheduling determination module assigns a transmission opportunity to a transmission candidate signal to the mobile station in accordance with the priority calculated by the priority calculation module.

Abstract: A solenoid valve for use in an actuator for controlling brake hydraulic pressure includes a valve housing, a movable core having an integral valve rod and axially slidably received in the valve housing, and a valve body configured to be moved into and out of contact with a valve seat when the valve body moves. The solenoid valve further includes a yoke having a U-shaped section. Even with such a U-shaped yoke, it is possible to form a magnetic path. Compared to tubular yokes, it is possible to reduce its width and thus the width of the solenoid valve by an amount equal to the thickness of tubular yokes. Thus, by arranging such solenoid valves in an actuator for controlling brake hydraulic pressure such that the width directions of the respective solenoid valves coincide with the height direction of the actuator, in which it is required to reduce the size of the actuator, it is possible to reduce its size in this direction.

The initial antenna weight production section detects beam directions and null directions from antenna weights of desired signals.

Abstract: An elastic member made of rubber which urges a coil portion toward a cover is formed into a shape such that the elastic member can be deformed by bending. A rate of change in reaction force of the elastic member with respect to an amount of deformation in a bending deformation region is less than a case where the elastic member is subject to compressive deformation. Therefore, even in the case where the amount of deformation of the elastic member increases due to dimensional variation of a component part, the reaction force of the elastic member does not become excessively large.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method for vibrating, melting and creating well-bonded resin parts. Pressing the resin parts is started and then the pressing force is increased sharply to a predetermined value and the resin parts are vibrated to heat the resin part contact surfaces. After heat generation is started, the pressing force is increased gradually to a time, when the vibrating of the resin parts is finished, to push out the heated resin material from the contact surfaces. This exposes the new surface of the resin material which is heated at a low degree and thus can prevent the resin material at the contact surface from excessive heat and degradation. Thereafter, the vibration of the resin parts is stopped to solidify the resin material which is not degraded and is in a uniform, melted state throughout the contact surfaces.

Abstract: A leaf spring for urging a spool toward a flange part of a yoke is provided between a guide fixed to a housing and the spool. Owing to the urging force of the leaf spring, the spool is pressed against the flange part of the yoke, and the yoke can be pressed against the cover through the spool. Thus it is possible to prevent the spool and the yoke from loosening. Further because the leaf spring is provided for each magnet valve, the leaf spring can be commonly used for respective modes of a fluid control apparatus and thus the cost can be reduced.
