Publication number: 20020127968Abstract: While a spectrum waveform of an output signal from a subtracter (207) is visibly monitored, an operator controls a variable phases shifter (208) based upon a second control signal (CL2) so that a shape of a spectrum waveform of an output signal from a subtracter (207) is approximated to a spectrum waveform of a desirable wave to change a phase of a local oscillation frequency signal from a local oscillator (206). As a result, a phase of a duplicated loop signal is changed. Also, the operator controls a variable attenuator (209) based upon a first control signal (CL1) so that a shape of this spectrum waveform is approximated to a spectrum waveform of a desirable wave (20) to change a signal level of the duplicated loop signal.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 24, 2001Publication date: September 12, 2002Applicant: Matsushita Electric Industrial Co., Ltd.Inventors: Makoto Takemoto, Katsuyuki Kawase, Tetsu Takase, Jun Shibata

Patent number: 5646649Abstract: In a unit body of a portable information terminal is assembled a display and a pressure-sensitive input device overlying the display. An opening and closing cover is attached to the unit body for covering the pressure-sensitive input device. An operating button device provided in the cover exposes, when the cover is closed, its operating surface from the surface of the cover. The operating button device exerts a pressing force applied to the operating surface onto the surface of the pressure-sensitive input device. Thus, with the cover closed, major function entry or data entry can be carried out.Type: GrantFiled: August 16, 1995Date of Patent: July 8, 1997Assignee: Mitsubishi Denki Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Yuji Iwata, Jiro Nakasu, Makoto Takemoto
