  • Publication number: 20120058726
    Abstract: By effectively using various functions of other terminals, the convenience of an information processing device is improved. An information processing device comprises short distance wireless communication means for transmitting and receiving short distance radio signal by a short distance wireless communication, storage means in which a plurality of setting functions are registered, and device control means for selecting a predetermined setting function from the storage means when the short distance wireless communication means receives a short distance radio signal, and sets a function relating to the selected setting function to a transmission source of the short distance radio signal.

  • Patent number: 8073962
    Abstract: A method, system, and computer program product for processing a transaction between a client and an application server asynchronously in a distributed transaction processing environment having at least one transaction queue manager. An application request is received from a client to initiate a transaction. The request is placed in a transaction request queue by the transaction queue manager. The request is processed at the application server asynchronously relative to the receipt of the request. A response to the request is determined, and the response is placed in a transaction response queue for retrieval by the client.

  • Publication number: 20100329327
    Abstract: An adaptive equalizer has an equalizer, a sampler, a code comparator, and an eye open/close determinator. The eye open/close determinator makes a determination as to whether a waveform of the input signal has an opening. The code comparator adjusts the equalizer characteristic, with reference to a sampling value by the sampler, and the determination as to whether the waveform has an opening.

  • Publication number: 20100142606
    Abstract: A transmission line loss compensation circuit and transmission line loss compensation method is provided. The transmission line loss compensation circuit includes a linear equalizer that compensates for a transmission line loss of high frequency components, a high-pass filter that extracts high frequency components from an output of the linear equalizer, a peak detector that compares the peak voltage of a high-pass filter output to first and second reference voltages, and a control circuit that controls the compensation intensity of the linear equalizer based on the detection results of the peak detector so that the peak voltage becomes an intermediate voltage between the first reference voltage and the second reference voltage.

  • Patent number: 7733120
    Abstract: Disclosed is an impedance adjustment circuit including a comparator and a resistor control circuit. The comparator compares the resistance value of an external resistor and that of a replica resistor that forms a replica of a terminal resistor. The resistor control circuit includes a replica resistor control counter, a resistor-under-adjustment control signal holding circuit and a monitor circuit. The replica resistor control counter counts up and down based on the comparison result by the comparator to output a control signal to the replica resistor. The resistor-under-adjustment control signal holding circuit holds a control signal that is delivered to the terminal resistor.

  • Publication number: 20070231364
    Abstract: The present invention provides a biocompatible membrane which has a configuration that conforms well to an affected part and can be used in fields such as dentistry, oral surgery, orthopedics, etc., by a compatible membrane production process in which a biocompatible material is subjected to a lamination forming process or a powder electrostatic coating process. Examples of lamination forming processes include (a) selective laser sintering, (b) powder adherence, (c) fused deposition molding, (d) laminated object manufacturing, and (e) optical molding. The biocompatible membrane is useful as, for example, a tissue regeneration membrane or a bone regeneration membrane for periodontal tissue, bone tissue, and like tissue regeneration treatment.

  • Patent number: 6041425
    Abstract: An error recovery reduces the recovery time in finding out the JOB causing error in a computer system. An event generation unit is called at the beginning of the execution of a JOB, at the end of the execution of the JOB and at the close process of the file input-output process, by the JOB execution control unit. The JOB start event, end event, and close event are generated by the event generation unit. A file input/output count acquisition unit is called to generate a file input/output count for each JOB, by the JOB execution control unit. The monitoring process thereby generates the execution record comprising the end code, the start time, the end time, the execution time, the file input/output count, and the error flag for each JOB, based upon the above mentioned events. The monitoring process activates the error recovery support process when the error occurs.
