  • Patent number: 6778520
    Abstract: A radio communication apparatus and system in a CDMA/TDD system includes a mobile station that detects received power of data received from a surrounding base station at a received power detecting circuit in switching a base station for communication while moving. When received power from a base station other than a main base station in current communication becomes higher than a predetermined level, the mobile station makes the base station a sub base station to transmit the same data as the main base station, and receives data from the main base station and the sub base station concurrently at a pair of correlators. After that, when the received power from the sub base station becomes higher than the received power from the main base station, the mobile station switches a main base station and a sub base station and transmits data to a new main base station.

  • Publication number: 20030229599
    Abstract: An estimation system for estimating an injection-molding related cost comprises an input unit, storage, a data processing unit, and an output unit. The storage stores a mold estimation function for each of cost items of a mold used to produce a molded product, and a mold estimation reference value table for recording mold estimation reference values in association with prescribed conditions. The data processing unit acquires a fabrication condition of the molded product through the input unit, reads the mold estimation function and one of the mold estimation reference values from the storage corresponding to the fabrication condition, and estimates a cost of the mold based on the mold estimation function and the selected mold estimation reference value. The output unit outputs a mold cost estimation result made by the data processing unit.

  • Patent number: 6661783
    Abstract: During asymmetric communications using only the uplink, frame configuration section 109 transmits a signal made up of only pilot signals and transmission power control bits assembled into frames. The transmission power control method is the same as that for normal communications. In this case, since signals transmitted on the downlink are only pilot signals and transmission power control bits, it is possible to reduce the transmission rate considerably and transmit signals with its transmission power reduced by transmission signal amplitude control section 111. In this case, a long hierarchic orthogonal type spreading code is set as the spreading code used by spreader 110.
