  • Publication number: 20180058468
    Abstract: An impeller includes a disk formed in a disk shape about an axis, and a plurality of blades provided at intervals in a circumferential direction on one side in the axial direction of the disk. The blades define a flow path extending from one side in the axial direction toward a radial outer side and include a low-rigidity region and a high-rigidity region.

  • Patent number: 8102894
    Abstract: In a communication system including a plurality of pairs of a transmitting device 2 and a receiving device 3, the transmission performance in the pairs is to be improved. The transmitting device 2-k transmits a transmission signal sk(t) to the receiving device 3-k a plurality of number of times. The receiving device 3-k updates the weight matrix Wk and the hopping pattern Pk used by the FIR filter which performs filtering on the transmission signal rk(t) at a predetermined time interval. The receiving device 3-k transmits the updated hopping pattern Pk to the transmitting device 2-k. The transmitting device 2-k receives the hopping pattern Pk to be used for subsequent spread spectrum.

  • Patent number: 5323063
    Abstract: An n-channel open drain or a p-channel open drain buffer circuit is disclosed. When the input to the buffer circuit changes to a disable state, the circuit once drives the output to the other potential level and then switches the output to a high impedance state. The buffer circuit reduces the period of time necessary for the output thereof to rise (in the case of an n-channel open drain scheme) or to fall (in the case of a p-channel open drain scheme) while making most of the advantages of an open drain configuration.
