Patent number: 6122515Abstract: In a mobile communication system of the present invention, a cordless base unit LBU is connected to a wired subscriber line SL. The base unit LBU detects a radio channel assigned to a cell other than a cell where the base unit LBU is located, among radio channels assigned to the cells of a cellular radio communication system. This radio channel is used as a radio channel for a cordless call. On the other hand, a cellular cordless telephone CCT is provided with a mode switch. When a cordless mode is designated by the mode switch, a radio channel for a cordless call is detected, as with the case of the base unit LBU. At the time of the cordless call, a transmission power level of the cellular cordless telephone CCT is set at a weak level smaller than that for a cellular call.Type: GrantFiled: February 15, 1995Date of Patent: September 19, 2000Assignee: Kabushiki Kaisha ToshibaInventors: Koichi Ito, Kuniyoshi Marui, Buntaro Sawa, Jun Kuno

Patent number: 4606050Abstract: What is disclosed is a system for recovering encoded data from a transmitted signal. A clock regenerating circuit regenerates a clock signal from the data bits encoded in the signal. The regenerated clock signal is used to synchronize an up/down with each individual data bit. When a data bit is at a logic "H", the counter counts from a predetermined value in an upward direction and when the data bit is at a logic "L", the counter counts in a downward direction from a predetermined value. The count after each bit-time is used to provide a signal representative of the logic state of that data bit. Accordingly, a reproduced data signal can be accurately obtained.Type: GrantFiled: July 22, 1983Date of Patent: August 12, 1986Assignee: Tokyo Shibaura Denki Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Tatsuaki Sekigawa, Akio Gotoh, Syuitsu Tsutsumi, Kuniyoshi Marui, Naoto Honda
