The capacitance value distribution detection circuit (72) switches a connection state between a first connection state and a second connection state, which first connection state makes first signal lines (HL1 to HLM) serve as drive lines (DL1 to DLM) and second signal lines (VL1 to VLM) serve as sense lines (SL1 to SLM), and which second connection state makes the second signal lines (VL1 to VLM) serve as the drive lines (DL1 to DLM) and the first signal lines (HL1 to HLM) serve as the sense lines (SL1 to SLM).
Abstract: A data signal component output from a reference signal demultiplexer and channel state information obtained by using DM-RS output from a channel estimating unit are input into a modulo estimating unit. In a channel compensator, a first provisional decision value sequence is calculated on the basis of the channel state information. The first provisional decision value sequence is input into a modulo calculator, and modulo calculations are performed on the first provisional decision value sequence to obtain a second provisional decision value sequence. A decision-feedback channel estimating section finds a first channel estimation value based on the first provisional decision value sequence and a second channel estimation value based on the second provisional decision value sequence. A modulo decision section decides whether or not a perturbation term has been added to a code, and uses a decision result for the selection of a demodulation method.

Upon determination by the device determination section that a USB compatible device is connected, the DC-DC converter supplies power to the USB compatible device.

Abstract: When a mobile station apparatus capable of being connected to a base station apparatus by using a plurality of frequency bands performs an uplink transmission, the mobile station apparatus selects the optimum combination among the combinations of a plurality of frequency bands and uplink transmission methods, and performs the uplink transmission. The mobile station apparatus aggregates a plurality of cells to connect the same to a base station apparatus and requests, from the base station apparatus, an uplink radio resource required to transmit uplink data. The mobile station apparatus selects, based on a first condition, an uplink for making a radio resource request using a random access channel from the plurality of cells, and selects, based on a second condition, either the radio resource request using the random access channel or the transmission of uplink data using an uplink radio resource common to other mobile station apparatuses.

Abstract: A cascode circuit (1) is provided with a switching element (Q1) which is normally off by default, a switching element (Q2) and a clamp circuit (10). A source of the switching element (Q2) is connected to a drain of the switching element (Q1). The cascode circuit (1) engages in a normally-off operation through a gate driving circuit (100) connected to a gate of the switching element (Q1). The clamp circuit (10) is provided between a power source terminal (P) of the gate driving circuit (100) and the drain of the switching element (Q1). A power source (E) is connected to the power source terminal (P). When the gate driving circuit (100) operates to turn off the switching element (Q1) and the switching element (Q2), the clamp circuit (10) clamps a voltage between the drain and the source of the switching element (Q1) to a power source voltage (V) supplied from the power source (E).
Abstract: A mobile station (MS) that transmits uplink data on a PUSCH, the PUSCH being assigned by using a PDCCH. The MS receives a radio resource control signal including first information instructing the MS apparatus to periodically transmit first reception quality information (RQI) and receives, on the PDCCH, second information instructing the MS to transmit second RQI on the PUSCH. The MS transmits only the second RQI on the PUSCH in a case that the transmission of the first RQI which is instructed by using the first information and the transmission of the second RQI which is instructed by using the second information would occur at the same time, where the second RQI is transmitted together with the uplink data on the PUSCH and an amount of resources for the second RQI is determined based on a size of the PUSCH assigned by using the PDCCH.
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.
