  • Patent number: 8391326
    Abstract: To obtain a laser light source module, a copper-based material is press-fitted into a through hole formed in a stem made of an iron-based material, thereby forming a first heat sink. A mount made of a copper-based material is fixed to the first heat sink and at least one semiconductor laser device is mounted on the mount. A second heat sink is bonded to lower surfaces of the stem and the first heat sink by a thermal conductive adhesive. An upper surface of the first heat sink is located on a same plane as that of the stem, and a lower surface of the first heat sink is located higher than that of the stem.

  • Patent number: 7295538
    Abstract: A base station apparatus (radio transmission apparatus) transmits a radio signal of data to a mobile terminal apparatus (communication apparatus of a transmission destination). The mobile terminal apparatus receiving the radio signal determines (ST1010) information (CQI) on a downlink transmission rate enabling reception in the mobile terminal apparatus based on reception quality such as CIR to transmit to the base station apparatus. The base station apparatus extracts a CQI value from the received radio signal, while obtaining likelihood of received data (ST1020), and corrects the CQI value based on the likelihood (ST1030). Then, based on the corrected CQI value, the base station apparatus determines a downlink transmission rate (ST1040).

  • Patent number: 7215642
    Abstract: In a receiving side apparatus 150, reception quality of receive data is measured by a reception quality measurement section 157, receive data errors are detected by an error detection section 156, and when an error is detected a retransmission request signal and reception quality signal are transmitted multiplexed with transmit data by a transmit frame creation section 158. In a transmitting side apparatus 100, when a retransmission request signal is received a capacity necessary for demodulating data in a receiving side apparatus 150 is detected from a reception quality signal by a scheduling section 110, and data is retransmitted at that capacity. By this means it is possible to reduce the number of data retransmissions during transmission and reception, and to improve transmission efficiency.
