  • Patent number: 9445294
    Abstract: In one embodiment, a mobility management device MME selects a Logged MDT implementation terminal that should implement a measurement process by Logged MDT, from among a plurality of radio terminals UE in a mobile communication system 1 compatible with the Logged MDT defined in the 3GPP standards. The mobility management device MME stores camping history information in which information indicating a TA on which a radio terminal has camped is associated with information indicating a time period during which the radio terminal has camped on the TA, for each of the plurality of radio terminals UE. Then, the mobility management device MME selects, as the Logged MDT implementation terminal, a radio terminal having a relatively long camping time period corresponding to a measurement target area on which the measurement process is to be performed, from among the plurality of radio terminals UE.

  • Patent number: 9125201
    Abstract: An HSS 140 calculates a ratio (cell search time-period distribution ratio) of a time period for searching a cell 11 configured by an LTE base station 10 to a time period for searching a cell 21 configured by a W-CDMA base station 20, and transmits a cell search time-period distribution ratio response including the cell search time-period distribution ratio, to a UE 200. When the UE 200 receives the cell search time-period distribution ratio response, the UE 200 searches the cell 11 and the cell 21 according to the cell search time-period distribution ratio included in the cell search time-period distribution ratio response.

  • Publication number: 20060093306
    Abstract: A three-dimensional photonic crystal having a wide and sharp bandgap, a manufacturing method thereof, a structural body for manufacturing this photonic crystal, and a manufacturing method thereof are provided. The structural body is formed by placing monodisperse particles in a recess having a regular quadrangular pyramid shape formed in a container, arranging the particles three-dimensionally by applying vibration, and performing sintering, so that adjacent particles are connected to each other with necks provided therebetween. A dielectric resin is impregnated in voids of the structural body and is then cured to form a composite. The composite is immersed in a solution which dissolves only the structural body. Monodisperse particles exposed at the surface of the composite are dissolved, and monodisperse particles adjacent thereto with necks provided therebetween are then sequentially dissolved, so that the whole structural body is finally dissolved.

  • Publication number: 20050103765
    Abstract: Only one spherical fine particle 1 is fed from a cartridge 2. The particle 1 is held by a precision manipulator 3. The diameter of the particle 1 is measured by a measuring device 6 to detect the central position of the particle 1. The particle 1 is moved by using an X-Y-Z stage and a roughly moving part of the manipulator 3 such that the center of the particle 1 nearly corresponds to the target position to bring the particle 1 into contact with other particles neighboring thereto. Laser beams are irradiated to the contact areas of the particles to fuse these areas. The particle is moved slightly and precisely by using a precisely moving part of the manipulator 3 so that the center of the particle absolutely corresponds to the target position before the fused areas thereof become hard. The particle 1 is then released from the manipulator 3. The above processes are repeated sequentially after the fused areas becomes hard.

  • Patent number: 5135065
    Abstract: A vehicular height controlling arrangement changing a length of a suspension cylinder by supplying or draining the hydraulic oil through a damping force selector valve. The damping force selector valve changes a damping force of a suspension cylinder by changing an orifice therein. When the vehicular height is lowered under a vehicle stopping condition, a large orifice is selected in the damping force selector valve so as to quickly lower the vehicular height. Thereafter, a small orifice is immediately selected to suppress the swinging of the automotive vehicle.
