  • Patent number: 7515874
    Abstract: The present invention provides a short-range wireless mobile communication system with a first terminal and a mobile terminal that are each adapted for transmitting and receiving an information carrying signal wave, whereby at least the first terminal or the mobile terminal comprise a directional signal wave converter for transmitting and/or receiving the information carrying signal wave with a directional characteristic and a control means for controlling the directional characteristic according to a position of the mobile terminal relative to the first terminal.

  • Patent number: 7373169
    Abstract: An earphone antenna includes an audio signal transmission path formed by connecting a first shield wire of a coaxial cable to a ground, connecting a central conductor of the coaxial cable to a pair of first signal lines of an earphone cable via a capacitor which exhibits high impedance in a frequency range of audio signals and low impedance in a frequency range of high frequency signals, and connecting a second signal line and a grounding wire, respectively, to the pair of first signal lines via a high frequency choke which exhibits low impedance in the frequency range of audio signals and high impedance in the frequency range of high frequency signals. Connecting the second shield wire to the ground causes formation of a sleeve antenna by the earphone cable and the second shield wire.

  • Patent number: 7369816
    Abstract: A radio transceiver includes circuitry that enables received RF signals to be down-converted to baseband frequencies and baseband signals to be up-converted to RF signals prior to transmission without requiring conversion to an intermediate frequency. The circuitry includes a temperature sensing module that produces accurate voltage level readings that may be mapped into corresponding temperature values. A processor, among other actions, adjusts gain level settings based upon detected temperature values. One aspect of the present invention further includes repetitively inverting voltage signals across a pair of semiconductor devices being used as temperature sensors to remove a common mode signal to produce an actual temperature-voltage curve. In one embodiment of the invention, the circuitry further includes a pair of amplifiers to facilitate setting a slope of the voltage-temperature curve.

  • Patent number: 7289802
    Abstract: An acquisition section acquires trace information including a plurality of log information having information on contents and types of log information based on message information of test signals transmitted to a communication terminal and a series of reply signals from the communication terminals, and provides clock time information at which the respective message information have been acquired. The trace information including the plurality of log information, is displayed in predetermined formats. An indication bar display section displays an indication bar on which the plurality of log information are arranged in a time series based on the clock time at which the respective message information have been acquired. A log sequence display section displays a predetermined number of log information as log sequences having time stamps based on the clock time information at which the respective log information have been acquired, so as to be associated with the indication bar.
