Abstract: A vehicle occupant notification apparatus provides a notification to a vehicle occupant by retracting a seatbelt of a vehicle and includes an operation-amount measuring instrument, an arithmetic controller, and a retraction device. The operation-amount measuring instrument measures a measurement seatbelt operation amount when the vehicle occupant sits on a seat of the vehicle and fastens the seatbelt. The measurement seatbelt operation amount is either one of a measurement seatbelt pull-out amount and a measurement seatbelt pull-out angle. The arithmetic controller determines whether the measurement seatbelt operation amount is larger than or equal to a predetermined value. The retraction device varies a retraction amount in the retraction of the seatbelt when the notification is to be provided by retracting the seatbelt based on a command from the arithmetic controller. The command indicates that the measurement seatbelt operation amount is larger than or equal to the predetermined value.

Abstract: Provided is a laser processing machine including a laser head capable of irradiating a workpiece with laser beam, a belt conveyor provided away in an irradiation direction of the laser beam, and a control unit configured to control operations of the laser head and the belt conveyor. The laser head is configured to be movable along at least a rotating direction of the belt conveyor. The control unit is configured to control, in a case where a moving direction and a moving speed of the laser head match the rotating direction and a rotating speed of the belt conveyor during the irradiation with the laser beam, the operation of at least one of the laser head and the belt conveyor in order to avoid the matching.

Abstract: A connection destination base station determination device is disclosed that includes: a storage part configured to store information indicating a radio base station that has transmitted a signal received with intensity at or above a certain level in a mobile terminal, and information indicating the amount of available resources in the radio base station; a selection part configured to select, of radio base stations having the amount of available resources greater than or equal to the amount of resources requested by the mobile terminal, a radio base station different from a radio base station having the largest amount of available resources as a connection destination radio base station; and a notification part configured to notify the selected radio base station that the mobile terminal is to be connected thereto.

Abstract: A plurality of sub word lines each have a length equivalent to the division of a main word line along the extension direction thereof, arranged along a bit line crossing said main word line, and are connected with a plurality of memory cells. A first sub word select line arranged in parallel to the main word line is extended to a plurality of sub arrays arranged in the extension direction of the word line. A second sub word select line is connected to the corresponding one of said first sub word select line to be extended orthogonally to a word line driving circuit area of an adjacent sub array. In the sub word line driving circuit provided for each sub array, a sub word line is selected and deselected by signals supplied from said main word line and said second sub word select line.

Abstract: A transmitting device for transmitting data by means of wireless signals to at least one of a plurality of receiving devices via a channel shared by the plurality of receiving devices is provided. The transmitting device receives reception quality data from each of the plurality of receiving devices; determines future predicted values relating to the reception quality of the respective receiving devices on the basis of the one or plurality of sets of past reception quality data; and selects receiving devices and assigns transmission data to be transmitted to the selected receiving devices to the channel on the basis of the future predicted values. The rate of generation of reception data errors on the side of the receiving devices and data re-transmission rate due to data errors can be reduced, and the throughput can be improved.

Abstract: When handover control is performed in a wireless communication system in which a plurality of base stations and a plurality of mobile stations communicate wirelessly, the necessary radio resources are secured beforehand in a handover-destination radio base station before handover is performed, and handover is executed thereafter. In order to secure the radio resources, one or more mobile stations that are already communicating via the handover-destination base station are forcibly handed over to another radio base station, whereby the radio resources of the handover-destination radio base station are secured. This is followed by executing handover.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a transmission band allocating device which effectively and freely allocates a band used for each packet transmission in a packet wireless transmission system. It is an object of the present invention to fairly provide a service to terminals and to enhance the throughput at the same time. To this end, the transmission band allocating device according to the present invention is configured by modifying a maximum CIR method such that a band is preferentially allocated to a terminal having precedently allocated a band whose integrated value is small.
