  • Publication number: 20150111554
    Abstract: In operation control for a femto base station apparatus, file updating is performed only for an apparatus needing updating only when needed to prevent the bandwidth of the network from being narrowed. Version information of a file necessary for the operation control for a femto base station apparatus is obtained before performing the operation control. Then, it is confirmed whether or not the obtained version information matches the version information of the file stored in the storage unit. The operation control is performed when matching is confirmed. Contrarily, a version of the file necessary for the operation control is obtained and the file updating is performed when a version confirming unit confirms mismatching of the version information.

  • Patent number: 8217276
    Abstract: A multilayer printed circuit board which can surely establish interlayer connection with low resistance. The multilayer printed circuit board comprises: a first substrate having a conductive pattern on one face and a non-penetration connection hole on the other face, for exposing the conductive pattern to outside; a second substrate having a conductive pattern formed on a face opposed to the other face of first substrate and a conductive bump on the conductive pattern integrally. The first substrate and the second substrate are integrated by engaging the bump of the second substrate with the connection hole of the first substrate and by intervening a conductive cement between the bumps and the conductive pattern exposed to outside from the connection holes.
