  • Patent number: 7953081
    Abstract: When a mobile terminal (10a) moves from an access network (21a) to another access network (21c), the unique information on destination of the mobile terminal (10a) in an access router (20c) is transferred as alternate information from an access router (20a) to a home agent (30a). The access router (20c) transfers the unique information on destination of the mobile terminal (10a) in the access router (20a) as original information to the home agent (30a) and at the same time transfers the unique information on destination of the mobile terminal (10a) in the access router (20c) as alternate information to the home agent (30a). Using these data, the home agent (30a) builds security association for the mobile terminal (10a) between the access router (20c) and the home agent (30a).

  • Patent number: 7916692
    Abstract: The present invention aims to provide continuous communication, between mobile terminal, based on edge mobility technology, during hand over a mobile terminal, even if addresses of edge routers before/after movement of the mobile terminal may not be acquired from the mobile terminal. It is configured so that when the mobile terminal moves, it becomes connected to the edge router and a CN information request command is transmitted to a home agent. The home agent manages a care-of address corresponding to a home address of the mobile terminal and transmits the CN information request command to this care-of address, which corresponds to the edge router before the mobile terminal moves, and the edge router manages a care-of address of a communication partner of the mobile terminal. Therefore, the care-of address of the communication partner of the mobile terminal can be acquired.

  • Publication number: 20100246309
    Abstract: An SRAM module includes bit cells arranged within an SRAM array of N×M, and a replica SRAM cell array of a replica bit cell used for bit cell performance measurement, and can control the number of replica bit cells used for performance measurement. When the clock generator circuit generates an internal pulse upon receiving a clock, the clock generator circuit generates a leading edge of a pulse by a clock (clk), and generates a trailing edge thereof by a delay circuit including the delay of the replica bit cells. The internal pulse is used for controlling the activation time of the word lines for selecting the memory cell, and the timing of a bit line control circuit (a bit line precharger circuit, an address logic circuit, and a sense amplifier circuit).

  • Publication number: 20100151498
    Abstract: After sampling semen from healthy males and from patients whose chief complaint was infertility, the semen volume, sperm concentration, sperm motility rate, and sperm survival rate in each of the specimens were measured, sperm-bound SPMI was detected using an anti-SPMI antibody, and the amount and rate of SPMI binding were calculated. As a result, only patient specimens were found in the specimen group with amount and rate of SPMI binding above a certain level. Diagnosis of asthenozoospermia can be made by determining the amount and rate of SPMI binding.

  • Patent number: 7343050
    Abstract: Disclosed is an image synthesizing apparatus which extracts plural images of different magnification ratios from a single piece of image data and combines those images to provide a moving image equivalent to a moving image zoomed up in moving image pickup. In record mode, an image acquired by a CCD is subjected to color processing and is then sent to an image memory. At the same time, a through image is displayed on a display section. If it is a zoomed moving image mode, when a shutter is pressed to pick up an image, plural images zoomed up in plural levels are created based on image data stored then in the image memory as an original image. A zoomed moving image equivalent to a zoomed moving image is obtained in moving image pickup.

  • Publication number: 20070232373
    Abstract: A watch of the communications apparatus is worn on a user's wrist by bands. A support member pivoted on the band is then turned so as to extend in the transverse direction of the bands. A speaker unit is provided on the support member so as to face in a transverse direction of the band while a microphone unit is disposed on the support member so as to face in a direction perpendicular to a surface of the band. When a user communicates with the other party, the speaker unit provided on the support member is directed toward the user's ear. This causes the microphone unit provided on the support member to be directed easily toward the user's mouth. Alternatively a hinged lid is provided the lid carrying a key-in unit or a display and a speaker unit.
