  • Communication apparatus and radio communication system
    Patent number: 7983351
    Abstract: A communication apparatus includes a grouping controlling unit hierarchically groups frequency channels so that the number of channels included in a group of a layer becomes smaller than the number of channels included in a group of a layer immediately above; and a propagation path information estimating unit that estimates propagation path information of the channels. The apparatus also includes an average value calculating unit that calculates an average value of the propagation path information for each group in a highest layer with the estimate values, and calculates the estimate values used in each layer based on an average value of a layer immediately above to calculate an average value of the propagation path information for each group in other layers with the estimate values of the each layer; and a feedback unit that feeds back an average value acquired in each group as feedback information.

  • Optical disk image forming device, optical disk image forming method and optical disk
    Patent number: 7813245
    Abstract: When an image is formed on an optical disk, an optical disk image forming device reads information written in an information area of the optical disk. When a reflection preventing process is applied to an image forming area of the optical disk, the optical disk image forming device corrects at least one of a laser power or a focus gain in accordance with information about the image forming area written in the information area. Thus, the optical disk image forming device can form the image with a clear brightness and a good visibility on the image forming area of the optical disk without allowing a rainbow-color to appear or a face or a background to be reflected due to the interference of light.
