  • Publication number: 20170126366
    Abstract: A data transmitting method applied with HARQ for transmitting data from a data transmission side to a data reception side. The data transmission side allocates a process, which is a transmission unit of the same data, to new transmission data and transmits the new transmission data, cyclically continues to transmit the same data of the new transmission data or an error correction code of the same data in a process same as the process until generation of another new transmission data, and allocates, when another new transmission data is generated, the process of the cyclically continued transmission to the other new transmission data and cyclically transmits the other new transmission data. The data reception side performs data combination by the HARQ using the received data to normally receive data and detect a data error or data non-reception and monitors a communication connection state with the data transmission side.

  • Publication number: 20160366640
    Abstract: A mobile terminal 3 judges whether or not the mobile terminal is able to make a transition to a DTX period during Active, and, when judging that the mobile terminal is able to make a transition to a DTX period during Active, notifies a base station 2 to that effect. If the base station 2 judges that the mobile terminal is able to make a transition to a DRX period during Active when triggered by the notification from the mobile terminal 3, the base station temporarily stops supply of electric power to the data transmission processing units and the data reception processing units of the mobile terminal 3.

    Abstract: A projection display apparatus comprises a modulator, an analyzer, and projecting optical system. The modulator includes two-dimensionally arrayed pixel units and it modulates an incident light and emits the modulated light. The analyzer analyzes the emitted light from the modulator. The projection optical system projects the analyzed light from the analyzer. The analyzer includes a polarized beam splitter having a pair of prisms and an adhesive layer held between the pair of prisms. The difference in thickness between thin and thick portions of the adhesive layer is set equal to a predetermined value or less, based on a pixel pitch of the modulator.
