  • Publication number: 20200036102
    Abstract: A waveguide device includes a first electrical conductor including a first electrically conductive surface, a second electrical conductor including a second electrically conductive surface opposing the first electrically conductive surface, an electrically-conductive ridge protruding from the second electrically conductive surface, and a plurality of electrically-conductive rods disposed on both sides of the ridge. The plurality of rods include one or more first rods adjoining the ridge. Each first rod includes a first side surface opposing a side surface of the ridge and a second side surface not opposing the side surface of the ridge. The first side surface is flat and perpendicular or substantially perpendicular to the second electrically conductive surface. The second side surface includes a shape that increasingly deviates outward from an axial center of the first rod from the leading end toward the root of the first rod.

  • Patent number: 9019831
    Abstract: [Problem] The problem is to carry out the QoS control which tracks a change in a state of an outward line. [Means for solving the problem] A network repeater according to the present invention includes: a flow control means to carry out flow control for restricting inflow of a data flow which is received through an inward line; a bandwidth control means to carry out bandwidth control of controlling a bandwidth of a data flow which is received through the inward line and is sent through an outward line; and an outward line monitoring means to monitor a change in a state of the outward line. In the case that the monitored state of the outward line satisfies a specified condition which is determined in advance, either the flow control or the bandwidth control is carried out on a condition corresponding to the specified condition.

  • Patent number: 8995905
    Abstract: A wireless network relay apparatus includes a Layer 2 switch and a line control device as well as wireless/wired line terminating devices performing band limitation associated with an AMR function. It measures traffic passing through each line terminating device in inflow/outflow path directions. Upon detecting a modulation scheme changed due to an AMR function in a wireless area, it may specify a line terminating device so as to read a desired modulation scheme from a transmission source modulation scheme conversion table of the line control device based on traffic. It may change a local modulation scheme with a desired modulation scheme when a difference therebetween is above a predetermined number of stages. By tracking a modulation scheme changed for a transmission destination, it is possible to appropriately change a modulation scheme for a transmission source, thus suppressing traffic without discarding necessary data.

  • Publication number: 20130064094
    Abstract: In a wireless communication network, a data communication device (e.g. a Layer 2 switch) includes a wireless monitoring device, a path cost control device, and a communication path control device. Due to an increase of path costs in wireless areas, the path control device recalculates path costs over a network so as to carry out switching to an appropriate data communication path, e.g. a LAN with blocking a wireless line. When a wireless band is recovered due to an AMR function, the wireless monitoring device sends a path cost change request to the path cost control device, which in turn reduces a path cost at a wireless line port. Additionally, the communication path control device recalculates path costs over a network so as to switch over data communication paths. Thus, it is possible to select an optimum data communication path with a low cost.

  • Patent number: 8068391
    Abstract: An optical recording/reproducing system 1 reads a recorded signal written to a recording track of a recording medium 3 by light. The light is modulated by a drive signal on which a frequency signal is superimposed. The light is scanned along the recording track at a predetermined scan velocity. The optical recording/reproducing system 1 includes a computer 13 and an LD driver 17 that control, based on the scan velocity, a superimposed magnitude of the frequency signal on the drive signal.

  • Patent number: 7986596
    Abstract: An optical recording/reproducing system 1 reads, based on a predetermined reproduction clock, information associated with a recording track of a recording medium by irradiating frequency light. The frequency light is scanned at a predetermined scan velocity. The optical recording/reproducing system includes a computer 13, a DSP 49, and a LD driver that modulate light by a drive signal on which a frequency signal is superimposed to thereby output the frequency light, and synchronizes a frequency of the frequency signal with a frequency of the reproduction clock according to the scan velocity.
