  • Publication number: 20170092126
    Abstract: There is provided a communication system including the first communication device (roadside unit), a second communication device, and a data processing device. The first communication device is capable of establishing broadcast-type first communication (V2X communication) with the first communication terminal (vehicle). The second communication device is capable of establishing unicast- or multicast-type second communication with a plurality of moving objects (pedestrians) other than the first communication terminal and acquiring position information about the moving objects (pedestrians). The data processing device permits the second communication device to acquire position information about the moving objects and allows the first communication device (roadside unit) to transmit information (LDM) representative of the acquired position information about the moving objects to the first communication terminal (vehicle).

  • Patent number: 7689191
    Abstract: A semiconductor integrated circuit having a built-in PLL circuit which has two charge pump circuits for charging and discharging capacitive elements of a loop filter in response to signals generated by a phase comparator circuit. One of the two charge pump circuits has current sources which generate current values smaller than those generated by current sources of the other charge pump circuit. The loop filter has a first capacitive element connected to a charge/discharge node, and a second capacitive element connected to the charge/discharge node through a resistive element. The first capacitive element is charged and discharged by the one charge pump circuit, while the second capacitive element is charged and discharged by the other charge pump circuit. A charging current source of the one charge pump circuit operates simultaneously with a discharging current source of the other charge pump circuit, i.e., the charge pump circuits operate in opposite phase.

  • Patent number: 6946095
    Abstract: The invention provides an internal filter with an improved filtering ability of removing particularly fine inclusion particles from molten aluminum or molten aluminum alloy. The internal filter includes an aggregate meshed member made of a refractory material and a coating layer formed on a surface of the aggregate meshed member. The coating layer contains a soda silicate that is able to be softened or viscous at a temperature of the molten aluminum alloy.
