  • Patent number: 12004073
    Abstract: A closed subscriber group (CSG) cell is a cell that allows use of subscribers. In order to receive the service by the CSG cell, a CSG-ID is required to be notified to a user equipment, which cannot be obtained in a situation outside the reach of radio waves from a non-CSG cell. In a mobile communication system including base stations respectively provided to a CSG cell and a non-CSG cell in which access is made to the CSG cell with the use of a CSG-ID issued in a case where use of the CSG cell is allowed, the base station provided in the CSG cell refers to the notified identification information of a user equipment and then transmits a tracking area update request from the user equipment to a core network, and the core network determines whether the user equipment is allowed to use the CSG cell and, in the case where the use is allowed, transmits a signal for allowing assignment of radio resources to the user equipment and the CSG-ID. The user equipment accesses the CSG cell with the use of the CSG-ID.

  • Patent number: 11770092
    Abstract: A bridge circuit includes a high-side transistor connected between a power supply terminal and an output terminal, and a low-side transistor connected between the output terminal and a ground terminal. A high-side pre-driver and a low-side pre-driver drive the high-side transistor and the low-side transistor. A first transistor is connected between the output terminal and the ground terminal in a manner to form the regenerative path parallel to the low-side transistor. In a regenerative state in which a current sinks from the output terminal, a regenerative control circuit controls the voltage of a control terminal of the first transistor in a manner that an output voltage of the output terminal approaches a target voltage higher than the power supply voltage of the power supply terminal by a first voltage width.

  • Publication number: 20220352840
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a motor driving circuit of capable of stopping operation within a short period of time. A bridge circuit of the present disclosure is connected to a fan motor. In response to a stop instruction, a control logic circuit fixes an upper arm of a source phase in which a current flows out to be off in the bridge circuit, and maintains statuses of other upper arms and lower arms. The control logic circuit then fixes the upper arms and the lower arms of all phases of the bridge circuit to be off.

  • Publication number: 20220301821
    Abstract: There is provided a gas treatment apparatus for performing gas treatment on a substrate. The gas treatment apparatus includes: a chamber in which the substrate is accommodated; a gas supply mechanism configured to individually supply a fluorine-containing gas and an alkaline gas; and a gas introduction member configured to cause the fluorine-containing gas and the alkaline gas supplied from the gas supply mechanism to merge with each other and introduce a mixed gas in which the fluorine-containing gas and the alkaline gas are mixed into the chamber. A portion of the gas introduction member including a merging point of the fluorine-containing gas and the alkaline gas is made of an aluminum-based material. A resin coating is formed on at least the portion including the merging point.

  • Patent number: 11101777
    Abstract: An output OUT is coupled to a load. A high-side transistor MH is arranged such that its source is coupled to a power supply line, and such that its drain is coupled to an output terminal OUT. A first OCP circuit compares a first current detection signal ICS1 that corresponds to a current ISRC that flows through the high-side transistor MH with a first threshold value IOCP having a positive correlation with a power supply voltage VDD of a power supply line, and generates a first OCP signal SOCP that indicates the comparison result. A driving circuit latch-stops the driving operation of the high-side transistor MH according to the first OCP signal SOCP.
