  • Publication number: 20170212246
    Abstract: The present technology relates to a receiving apparatus, a receiving method, and a program for a global navigation satellite system that enable the reception of various satellite signals with an inexpensive configuration. By using memories 173-2 and 174-2 for 1024 words included in a signal capturing tool 101-2 for receiving a GPS satellite signal in addition to memories 173-1 and 174-1 for 1024 words included in a signal capturing tool 101-1 for receiving the GPS satellite signal, a frequency domain correlation unit 124? calculates a correlation in a frequency domain through FFT calculation relative to a pseudo signal generated from a spreading code of a BeiDou satellite signal with 2048 words. Accordingly, when signal capturing tools 101 that receive a GPS satellite signal are simply combined with one another in a plurality of manners, various satellite signals can be received. The present technology can be applied to a GNSS receiver.

  • Patent number: 9716072
    Abstract: A power semiconductor element is fixed on a die pad of the lead frame. A metal plate is bonded to a lower surface of the die pad via an insulating film. The inner lead etc. are disposed in a cavity between a lower mold and an upper mold and are encapsulated with an encapsulation resin. The lower mold has a stepped portion provided in a bottom surface of the cavity below the inner lead. A height of an upper surface of the stepped portion is larger than a height of an upper surface of the power semiconductor element disposed in the cavity. When an encapsulation resin is injected into the cavity, a lower surface of the metal plate is in contact with the bottom surface of the cavity, and the encapsulation resin flows downward from above the stepped portion toward the upper surface of the power semiconductor element.

  • Publication number: 20170110243
    Abstract: A coil component has a core part 10 composing a closed magnetic path through which a closed loop of a magnetic flux passes, the magnetic flux being generated by two coils 14A, 14B that are arranged in parallel, and generate a magnetic field, and the core part 10 has a pair of I-type base cores 11A, 11B facing each other, and a pair of coupling core parts 11C, 11D. The coupling core parts 11C, 11D are each formed by linearly aligning three unit coupling cores 12A to 12F, and each of these cores 12A to 12F is formed into a configuration in which a column-shaped projection is provided on a core body, and a two-stage gap including a small gap and a large gap is to be formed mutually in a space in the adjacent unit cores 11A, 11B, and 12A to 12F by the configuration.
