  • Patent number: 7133378
    Abstract: A wireless LAN system is provided to make a frequency band setup task easy such that interference among base stations is reduced. The base station connected to a wired LAN includes a wired connection unit connected to the wired LAN and a wireless communication unit communicating with a LAN terminal via radio waves. The base station finds frequency bands already used by other devices in a place where the base station is installed and sets up a frequency band not used by the other devices as a frequency band to be used by the wireless communication unit to automatically set up a frequency band of radio waves to be used by the wireless communication unit.

  • Patent number: 7107012
    Abstract: A radio antenna of a radio base station is a directional antenna. The antenna searches for a peripheral radio base station by changing the directivity of the antenna. An operating channel and electric field intensity of the other base station are acquired by the searching and then stored as positional information. The operating channel of the base station, the directivity of the antenna, and a radio wave intensity communication area are set according to the acquired positional information. Further, the positional information is transmitted and received to and from the other base station to set the base station. When the base station was moved or when external noise occurred abruptly, channel change and change of a cell shape of the directional antenna are carried out. Consequently, interference between the base stations can be minimized and optimum setting of the channel and communicatable area can be realized.

  • Patent number: 6985111
    Abstract: A printed circuit board with reduced noise effects and without the need to increase the distance between a noise source and a wireless communication board. The circuit board includes multilayer structural conductive layers having a first conductive plane connected to power supply potential and a second conductive plane connected to ground potential. The first and second conductive planes are formed such that an electric field generated by a potential difference between the first conductive plane and the second conductive plane is concentrated on one side of one of the first conductive plane and the second conductive plane. The conductive plane associated with the concentrated electric field and the wireless communication board are on different sides relative to the conductive plane that is not associated with the concentrated electric field.

  • Patent number: 5852728
    Abstract: The present invention concerns clock source switchover between dual clock sources in the event of failure of any of them without affecting the clock output in the dual system, thereby preventing malfunctioning of processors therein. In the fault tolerant computer system of the invention, each of the plural processing units comprises a clock source, a clock selector, a clock stop detection unit, a clock phase adjusting unit, and a phase coincidence detection/operation suppression/resetting unit, whereby when switching over from a faulty clock source to a normal clock source in the event of clock failure, the clock phase adjusting unit ensures continuity in the output clock signals. The clock phase adjusting unit provided in the subsequent stage of the clock selector inserts the PLL circuit having an overdamping response characteristic obtained by lowering the gain of its loop filter.
