  • Network connection apparatus and communication system and method applying the same
    Patent number: 8204083
    Abstract: In a communication network, a network connection apparatus accepts timing information of a grand master to achieve timing synchronization. Next, the network connection apparatus requests slave nodes to be in timing synchronization with itself to achieve the timing synchronization. Even when the grand master is removed or crashed, when a new slave node is added, or when a hack node tries to hack the communication network, the network connection apparatus still periodically requests the slave nodes to be in timing synchronization with itself so that the timing synchronization inside the communication network is not negatively affected.

    Abstract: A method for controlling starting of a motor is described, which is mainly applicable to estimate a possible initial position of a rotor of a motor by detecting a rotor rotation signal of the motor, and find out a most possible initial position of the rotor after making statistics. In the method for controlling the starting of the motor, a starting angle position region of the motor is calculated simply by using the rotor rotation signal of the motor, without additionally arranging a Hall sensor, so as to save a cost of a Hall device and an assembling cost. Furthermore, accuracy for estimating the starting position region can be increased according to an accuracy specification of products, thereby achieving a high flexibility.

  • METHOD OF TRANSMIT POWER CONTROL FOR A RANDOM ACCESS CHANNEL AND THE COMPUTER PROGRAM PRODUCT THEREOF
    Publication number: 20120149422
    Abstract: A method of transmit power control for a random access channel uses historical information or information from a physical layer to determine the minimum power. In one embodiment, a previous ramping power is taken as a reference power of a current ramping. The reference power is calculated by adding an offset to an initial transmit power level for the current ramping. A mobile access terminal runs the random access procedure at the initial transmit power with the added offset for the current ramping. Once a successful transmission is made during the random access procedure, the successful transmit power level is recorded as a reference power for a next random access procedure, and the transmission continues at the recorded transmit power level. When a retransmission is required, another initial transmit power level is calculated.

    Abstract: A method for measuring a via bottom profile is disclosed for obtaining a profile of a bottom of a via in a front side of a substrate. In this method, an infrared (IR) light source is transmitted from the back of the substrate to the bottom of the via through an objective by using an IR-microscope, and lights scattered from the bottom of the via are acquired by an image capturing device to generate an image, where the image displays a diameter (2Ea) of the via bottom profile and a diameter (2Ec) of a maximum receivable base area of the via for the IR-microscope. Thereafter, by using an elliptic equation, a minor axis radius thereof (Eb) is obtained, and thus the via bottom profile is obtained from a radius (Ea) of the via bottom profile and the minor axis radius (Eb) of the elliptic equation.
