  • Publication number: 20160330725
    Abstract: A user equipment (UE) receiving, from a base station (BS), a higher layer signal including first information used for configuring more than one sets of one or more downlink component carriers (DCCs). The UE receives, using a PDCCH in a first subframe, from the BS, downlink control information (DCI) including second information indicating a trigger for a transmission of channel state information (CSI), the transmission of the CSI being triggered for one set of the more than one sets of one or more DCCs, the DCI being used for scheduling of a PUSCH in one uplink component carrier. The UE transmits, using the PUSCH in a second subframe, to the BS, the CSI for the one set of the more than one sets of one or more DCCs in a case that the DCI including the second information indicating the trigger for the transmission of the CSI is received.

  • Publication number: 20160328196
    Abstract: In a communication system, an image forming apparatus sends an address of a receiving section to an external device. The external device receives a selection of image data through plural thumbnails displayed on a display section, and wirelessly sends the selected image data to the image forming apparatus with the address. The image forming apparatus receives the selected image data and prints an image. The image forming apparatus accepts a selection indicating whether a communication between the external device and the image forming apparatus is performed either by a first or second communication system method. The image forming apparatus performs sending and/or receiving the image data with the address by the first communication system method when the first communication system method is selected, and performs sending and/or receiving the image data with the address by the second communication system method when the second communication system method is selected.

  • Publication number: 20160327244
    Abstract: The occurrence of a color irregularity in light that is emitted from a light-emitting device is suppressed together with being able to prevent a decline in the utilization efficiency of excitation light. A light-emitting device is provided with a phosphor section that absorbs excitation light and emits first fluorescence, and a phosphor section that absorbs excitation light that has passed through the phosphor section without being converted into first fluorescence by the phosphor section and emits second fluorescence. Also, the peak wavelength of the second fluorescence is approximate to the peak wavelength of the excitation light.
