  • Antennas using over-coupling for wide-band operation
    Patent number: 9077087
    Abstract: Systems and methods in which antenna system configurations use over-coupling between a plurality of antenna elements for effectively providing wide-band operation are shown. Such over-coupling comprises a multiple antenna element configuration in which adaptation to one antenna element (e.g., an influencing antenna element) results in substantial operational frequency band adaptation to a second antenna element (e.g., a respondent antenna element). Over-coupling results in a frequency split at the second antenna, whereby the resonate frequency of the antenna element is split into a plurality of frequency bands. By implementing such frequency splitting with respect to otherwise narrow band antenna elements, the over-coupled antenna system may be made to effectively provide wide-band operation.

  • Fault detection system, acquisition apparatus, fault detection method, program, and non-transitory computer-readable medium
    Patent number: 9075110
    Abstract: It is a purpose of the invention to provide a fault detection system, etc., having improved fault coverage with a reduced number of test patterns to be input to a logic circuit. The fault detection system detects a fault in a logic circuit based on multiple output logic values of the logic circuit after a test input pattern is input. The output logic values are input to the logic circuit as an updated test input pattern. The system comprises: a first acquisition unit which acquires a part of or all of the output logic values; a comparison unit which compares the logic values acquired by the first acquisition unit with those predicted for when there are no faults, or for when there is a specific fault; and a fault judgment unit which judges whether or not there is a fault based on the comparison result obtained by the comparison unit.
