  • Patent number: 9105975
    Abstract: A second slit 117 and a fourth slit 119 provided in a first antenna element 150 and a first slit 116 and a third slit 118 provided in a second antenna element 151 are adjusted such that the mutual coupling between the first antenna element 150 and the second antenna element 151 in the desired frequency band is canceled, and reduces degradation in coupling between antenna elements without connecting the antenna elements through components and the like. With such a configuration, it is possible to achieve high-efficiency loosely coupled MIMO array antennas operating in the same frequency band in a portable wireless terminal.

  • Patent number: 9001000
    Abstract: A first antenna element is embodied in a blanched structure, and a second antenna element is embodied in a blanched structure. A low coupling circuit for increasing susceptance with an increase in frequency is interposed between the first antenna element and the second antenna element. The first antenna element and the second antenna element exhibit resonance of a Y12 component of an admittance matrix between first and second frequencies and between second and third frequencies. The first branch element and the third branch element assume a value of nearly a quarter of a resonant electrical length of the Y12 component of the admittance matrix between the first and second frequencies. The second branch element and the fourth branch element assume a value of nearly a quarter of the resonant electrical length of the Y12 component of the admittance matrix between the second and third frequencies.

  • Publication number: 20140178408
    Abstract: The present invention provides an immunodeficient mouse (NOG mouse) suitable for engraftment, differentiation and proliferation of heterologous cells, and a method of producing such a mouse. This mouse is obtained by backcrossing a C.B-17-scid mouse with an NOD/Shi mouse, and further backcrossing an interleukin 2-receptor ?-chain gene-knockout mouse with the thus backcrossed mouse. It is usable for producing a human antibody and establishing a stem cell assay system, a tumor model and a virus-infection model.

    Abstract: An antenna includes two elements having an antenna element which resonates by a frequency f1 and a ground wire element which resonates by a frequency f2 higher than the frequency f1. The antenna element is directed so that an antenna radiation part is located to be substantially parallel to a surface of a casing on which an operating part is provided. The ground wire element is directed so that a ground wire radiation part is located substantially vertically to the surface of the casing on which the operating part is provided. Further, a space between a feeding terminal connecting part of the antenna element and a ground terminal connecting part of the ground wire element is set to be equal to a space between a feeding terminal and a ground terminal and the feeding terminal connecting part is arranged to be parallel to the ground terminal connecting part.

  • Patent number: 8457582
    Abstract: In the adaptive control apparatus, a computation unit computes weighting coefficients, using a first adaptive control method in a proportion ? of a first computation amount, where the first adaptive control method has a first convergence rate and a first convergence error. Further, a computation unit computes weighting coefficients from initial values of the weighting coefficients computed by the computation unit, using a second adaptive control method in a proportion (1??) of a second computation amount, where the second adaptive control method has a second convergence rate slower than the first convergence rate and a second convergence error smaller than the first convergence error. A controller controls determination of a ratio ?/(1-?) based on a moving speed of a mobile unit, and controls the computation units to perform computing processes.

  • Publication number: 20130057438
    Abstract: The connection circuit 108 reduces degradation in the coupling between the antenna elements by performing adjustment to cancel the mutual coupling between the first antenna element 106 and the second antenna element 107 in a first frequency band. Concurrently, the length 110 of the short side of the first antenna element and the length 109 of the short side of the second antenna element are set to predetermined lengths which are different, thereby reducing the amounts of current which does not contribute to radiation. With such a configuration, it is possible to achieve high-efficiency loosely coupled MIMO array antennas operating in the same frequency in a portable wireless terminal.
