Abstract: The first conductor plate has a groove portion that has a rectangular cross section and is formed in parallel with a first main surface such that the longitudinal direction becomes a first direction, and a first vertical tube portion formed in a direction away from the second conductor plate in a second direction orthogonal to the first direction and the first main surface, with a branch position in the groove as a starting point. The second conductor plate includes a reflection portion that is inserted into the groove portion in a manner protruding from a second main surface, which is a flat surface of the second conductor plate in contact with the first main surface, and has a reflection surface that reflects the radio wave, propagated along the groove portion, toward the first vertical tube portion.

Abstract: The autofocus control system of a projector includes a projector and an imaging unit. The projector includes a lens actuator that drives a projection lens, and a first controller that projects a first or a second pattern image selected, the second pattern image being mesh-shaped more coarsely than the first pattern image. The imaging unit includes an imaging part that images the first or second pattern image selected to generate imaged data, a user interface part that acquires a zoom magnification, and a second controller that transmits a focus control command to the first controller based on the imaged data. The second controller transmits to the first controller, an instruction signal for selectively projecting the first pattern image when the zoom magnification is smaller than a given magnification, and an instruction signal for selectively projecting the second pattern image when the zoom magnification is the given magnification or larger.

Abstract: An error correction decoding apparatus and error correction decoding method which reduces a processing delay time, reduces omission errors and thereby improves transmission quality. The turbo decoder (610) receives coding sequence x, coding sequence y1 and coding sequence y2 as inputs and outputs a decoding result. Furthermore, the turbo decoder (610) performs iterative decoding according to a control signal output from the decoding control section (630). The error detector (620) receives the decoding result and performs error detection for each transport block. The decoding control section (630) decides whether or not to preform iterative decoding based on the detection result and the number of transport blocks.

Abstract: To use high noise transmission lines, such as an electric wire, as the lines to transmit signals, it is imperative to reduce the level of signals. The present invention is provided with a sending signal generating means 10, which outputs converted data after converting an input signal into a plurality of carrier signals assuming values at such intervals on the axis of frequency that the frequencies may not interfere with each other. If an interfering noise with any one of the plurality of frequencies arises on the transmission line, removal of only a carrier of the noise frequency would leave the communication in a good condition.

Abstract: A battery power source device is composed of a plurality of battery modules, in which each battery module includes a number of serially connected cells. A voltage detection circuit is associated with each battery module. Each voltage detection circuit includes a differential amplifier that detects a voltage across end terminals of the associated battery module, and the detected voltage is digitized and output through a photo-coupler to a controller. The differential amplifier is connected to the battery module through photo-relays, which are closed in response to an open/close control signal only during a voltage detection operation, so that leak currents are eliminated. The differential amplifier and an associated A/D converter are provided with operating power obtained by transforming the voltage of the battery module with regulators, whereby noise effects are eliminated.

Abstract: An electric leak detecting apparatus used for an electric motorcar includes a source for generating an AC signal, which supplies a sine wave detecting signal S1 of a single frequency fl Hz to between a vehicle body and a low potential side or a high potential side of a battery pack, a condenser having capacitance Cd for insulating the AC source from the low potential side or high potential side of the battery pack with respect to direct currents and for connecting the AC source to the low or high potential side of the battery pack with respect to alternating currents.

Abstract: A variable gain amplifying circuit is controlled by a control voltage Vc from which a high-frequency component has been removed. To provide the control voltage Vc, a holding circuit smoothes the higher one of an output voltage of the variable gain amplifying circuit, which has been rectified by a rectifying circuit, and a voltage detected by a minute voltage detecting circuit, so that the control voltage Vc is obtained via a direct-current amplifying circuit. Since the clamping circuit varies the control voltage Vc based on a reference voltage Vref on receiving a minute input signal, even when an AGC characteristic is changed by varying the reference voltage Vref, the minimum gain is always corrected to be constant.
