  • Patent number: 12085032
    Abstract: A controller for an engine includes processing circuitry. The processing circuitry executes an obtaining process that obtains a catalyst temperature, which is a temperature of a catalyst. The processing circuitry executes a setting process that sets a target air-fuel ratio that is a target value of an air-fuel ratio in the cylinder. The temperature of the catalyst at which an efficiency of nitrogen oxide reduction by the catalyst is the highest is referred to as a prescribed temperature. In the setting process, the processing circuitry sets the target air-fuel ratio to be higher when the catalyst temperature is a first value that is lower than the prescribed temperature, than when the catalyst temperature is a second value that is lower than or equal to the prescribed temperature and higher than the first value.

  • Publication number: 20240297734
    Abstract: In the IEEE 802.11be standardization activities, application of wireless LAN communication technologies to an application requiring high reliability and low latency such as a Time Sensitive Network (TSN) has also been considered as a standardization target range. The transmission quality resulting from time diversity can be improved, and highly reliable communication can be realized by introducing HARQ, However, since an overhead time for retransmission is needed, it is not sufficient to realize low latency.

  • Publication number: 20240297741
    Abstract: A communication apparatus includes a higher layer unit configured to configure a retransmission scheme, a physical layer frame generator configured to generate a frame using a codeword, and a radio transmitter configured to transmit the frame. In a case that a configuration of the retransmission scheme indicates a Hybrid Auto Repeat reQuest (HARQ), the physical layer frame generator encodes, at a prescribed coding rate, a Low Density Parity Check (LDPC) information block including information bits to generate a parity bit sequence, and divides the parity bit sequence into blocks the number of which is given by a coding rate indicated by a Modulation and Coding Scheme (MCS), to generate multiple parity blocks. Each of the parity blocks is associated with the number of retransmissions. The codeword is generated based on the information bits and one of the parity blocks.
