Abstract: It is an object of the present invention to suppress an abrupt gain change and smoothly and highly accurately control transmitted electric power even if the transmitted electric power greatly changes when a closed loop control that crosses the threshold value as the detection limit of the transmitted electric power. The transmitted electric power of a self-station is detected to obtain an error between the detected transmitted electric power of the self-station and transmitted electric power set in accordance with a transmitted electric power control bit sent to the self-station from the other station. A buffer unit such as a transmitted electric power deciding part, an error integrating part or the like is provided for preventing the obtained error from greatly changing upon great change of the transmitted electric power when the transmitted electric power is controlled by crossing the threshold value as the detection limit of the transmitted electric power.

Abstract: A data reading method includes the steps of: a reading request issuing step of issuing a reading request for reading predetermined stored data; and a reading request re-issuing step of re-issuing a reading request when read data responsive to the reading request has not arrived within a predetermined time period, wherein: in the reading request re-issuing step, a flag is attached to the re-reading request, and thus, the re-reading request is differed from the first issued reading request.

Abstract: A determining section (18) and gain variation amount detecting section (9) detect a period having a possibility of a DC-component offset in an internal circuit of a direct conversion receiver increasing beyond an allowable value due to AGC operation, and during the period, a cut-off frequency of each of high-pass filters (12a to 12d) is set at a frequency higher than that in general operation, thereby rapidly converging transient responses of signals passed through the high-pass filters, while controlling precisely operation timings of reception power measuring section (16), gain calculating section (22), gain control section (23) and circuit power supply control section (24) composing an AGC loop, whereby the DC offset is prevented from increasing and stable circuit operation is assured. It is thereby possible to achieve further reductions in size and power consumption of a CDMA receiver using the direct conversion receiver.

Abstract: Disclosed is an automotive floor panel assembly, in which the floor panel assembly is stamp formed into a prescribed shape from at least one piece of sheet metal blank which consists of a first panel section made of sheet metal stock of a first thickness, and a second panel section made of sheet metal stock of a second thickness which are butt welded to each other along opposing edges thereof by using a high energy beam. Because the butt welding is carried out on flat panels, welding quality can be maintained at a high level without any substantial difficulty, and the resulting blank can have a highly uniform finish even though it includes a plurality of parts having different thicknesses. By suitably arranging the various parts having different thicknesses to different parts of the floor panel assembly in an optimum fashion, it is possible to achieve a maximum mechanical strength and a maximum rigidity with a minimum amount of material or involving a minimum weight.

Abstract: An outer sill panel formed integrally with a side panel of the car body is joined to an inner sill panel to form an enclosed structure in cross-section. The panel joints are at the top and outer side of the side sill. The inner sill panel is thicker than the outer sill panel. A cover may be provided extending to cover an outer side surface and a bottom surface of the side sill as well as a joint between the side sill and the floor panel of the car body. A partition plate can be provided for reinforcing in the vicinity of a base portion of a center pillar of the side panel.
