  • Patent number: 6826388
    Abstract: A transceiver suitable for larger scale of integration employs direct conversion reception for reducing the number of filters. Also, the number of VCOs is reduced by utilizing dividers to supply a receiver and a transmitter with locally oscillated signals at an RF band. Dividers each having a fixed division ratio are used for generating locally oscillated signals for the receiver, while a divider having a switchable division ratio are used for generating the locally oscillated signal for the transmitter. In addition, a variable gain amplifier for baseband signal is provided with a DC offset voltage detector and a DC offset canceling circuit for supporting high speed data communications to accomplish fast cancellation of a DC offset by eliminating intervention of a filter within a feedback loop for offset cancellation.

  • Patent number: 6823289
    Abstract: Fault diagnosis of hydraulic pumps is made automatically during an actual operation of a working machine, particularly when there is a problem with horsepower limiting control of the hydraulic pumps. A controller 50 performs horsepower limiting control for a plurality of variable displacement hydraulic pumps 1 to 6. The controller 50 measures a pump delivery pressure and pump delivery rate of each hydraulic pump when the pump delivery rate reaches a maximum during operation of the hydraulic drive system based on their detected values, collects the measured values as fault diagnostic data, and then compares a calculated target pump delivery rate with the collected pump delivery rate to decide if there is a fault of the hydraulic pump.

  • Patent number: 6822476
    Abstract: The present invention is to provide a logic circuit which assures short-circuit current reduction by using a gate which uniquely fixes the level of each node and also reduces leakage current so that the power is turned on and off quickly. Logic gates of the subject logic circuit are divided into first-type logic gate and second-type logic gates. The first-type logic gate outputs high potential under the specific status and the second-type logic gate outputs low potential under the specific status. Under the state that the high potential is supplied to the first-type logic gates and the low potential is supplied to the second-type logic gates, the power switch MOS is turned on. Further, in case of the adder, the specific status is equal to selecting a constant as an input of the adder. For general logic circuit, specific flip-flops are introduced to implement this specific status.
