Abstract: The present disclosure proposes an electronic apparatus including an attenuation element, a passive infrared (PIR) sensor, and a control circuit. The attenuation element attenuates a first infrared signal as a second infrared signal. The PIR includes a filtering element and a receiving sensor. The filtering element filters the second infrared signal as a third infrared signal, wherein a wavelength thereof ranges between 9 and 10 micrometer. When a distance between the attenuation element and a source emitting the first infrared signal is not larger than a predetermined distance, the receiving sensor outputs a first electrical signal in response to the third infrared signal, otherwise the receiving sensor outputs a second electrical signal in response to the third infrared signal. The control circuit activates the electronic apparatus according to the first electrical signal or deactivates the electronic apparatus according to the second electrical signal.

Abstract: A method for transmitting a synchronization signal by a transmitting side device to a receiving side device in a wireless access system. The method includes generating a concatenated code sequence in a frequency domain by concatenating a first code sequence having a first index (M1) and a second code sequence having a second index (M2). Each of the first code sequence and the second code sequence is obtained by cyclic shifting a code sequence. The concatenated code sequence is mapped to subcarriers for transmitting the synchronization signal via a secondary synchronization channel (S-SCH). The method further includes transforming the concatenated code sequence into a time domain signal; and transmitting the time domain signal to the receiving side device as the synchronization signal. The concatenated code sequence indicates a cell group identity (ID).

Abstract: A semiconductor integrated circuit is described. A. transmitter-receiver transmits and receives data to and from outside by a first external terminal and transmits a first control signal by a second external terminal. When another data is transmitted after the data is transmitted and when a data transmission interval from a time when the data is transmitted to a time when the another data is transmitted is equal to or smaller than a first threshold, the transmitter-receiver continuously outputs, from the first external terminal, a potential level of about ½ of a potential level obtained by adding a first potential level and a second potential level, during the data transmission interval, and changes the second potential level of the first control signal to the first potential level when the data transmission interval exceeds the first threshold.
