  • Patent number: 10027522
    Abstract: According to one embodiment, a transmission system may include a plurality of signal processing apparatuses. The signal processing apparatus are connected in series. The signal processing apparatus includes a plurality of signal processors, and a switcher. The signal processors generate an output signal by performing signal processing of an input signal from an earlier-stage signal processing apparatus. The signal processors supply the output signal into which is included an abnormality signal if the input signal does not include the abnormality signal and also the output signal does not satisfy the criteria. The switcher receives a plurality of output signals output from the plurality of signal processors. The switcher supplies an output signal of the plurality of output signals.

  • Patent number: 9231654
    Abstract: A transmission system of an embodiment is provided with an active transmitter, a backup transmitter, and a system controller to integrally control the active transmitter and the backup transmitter. The backup transmitter is provided with a setting table which stores a setting value relating to a frequency and a level of a signal outputted from the active transmitter, a power amplifier to amplify an input signal and output an amplified signal, and a modulator/exciter which converts, based on the setting table, the input signal into a modulation signal of a prescribed broadcast type in which nonlinear distortion by the power amplifier has been compensated. The system controller, at the time of adjusting the output level of the active transmitter, controls the backup transmitter so that content of the setting table of the backup transmitter becomes a setting value corresponding to the adjusted output level.

  • Patent number: 8019918
    Abstract: In a system in which an information processing apparatus and a peripheral are connected to each other. Initially, the information processing apparatus transmits, to the peripheral, a request to use a service provided by the peripheral. The peripheral determines whether to grant use permission to the received request, and notifies the information processing apparatus which has transmitted the request of the determination result. The peripheral stores information associated with the information processing apparatus to which use permission is granted in response to the request. The information processing apparatus then receives, from the peripheral, a response to the request.
