  • Publication number: 20240340627
    Abstract: A UE reports an ECGI of a target eNB/gNB missing an X2/Xn interface to a source eNB/gNB. The source eNB/gNB sends a configuration transfer message to a network element to get the X2/Xn interface TNLA of the target eNB/gNB. The source eNB/gNB initiates an initial backoff timer and an exponential backoff multiplier. The source eNB/gNB determines whether the TNLA discovery procedure time is equal to or greater than a current backoff time, the current backoff time being equal to a previous backoff period multiplied by the exponential backoff multiplier. The source eNB/gNB may resend the configuration transfer message to the network element when a previous TNLA discovery procedure time for the same ECGI is equal to or greater than the current backoff time, and not resend the configuration transfer message to the network element when the previous TNLA discovery procedure time is less than the current backoff time.

  • Patent number: 9983745
    Abstract: A touch sensor device includes an electrode, which is located at an inner side of a touch panel, and a control unit. The control unit detects a change in a capacitance generated at the electrode when a finger approaches the electrode to determine whether or not the touch panel has been touched from the change in the capacitance. The control unit detects a maximum capacitance generated at the electrode during detection of a touched state and set a first OFF determination threshold value, which is used to detect a non-touched state, to a value that is lower than the maximum capacitance by a predetermined value which is set in advance.

  • Publication number: 20150306634
    Abstract: A delivery sorting processing system of an embodiment recognizes recognizable semantic information from an image of a delivery, extracts a candidate for a delivery destination area from the semantic information, and determines priority according to a possibility of being relevant to a candidate for a delivery destination area of the delivery. The system determined a delivery destination of a delivery based on information included in a candidate for a delivery destination area selected by an operator's operation and stores the candidate for a delivery destination area determined to have the high priority and a candidate for a delivery destination area selected by the operator's operation in association with each other in a storage section, in a case where a predetermined condition is not satisfied. The system determines whether there is a match between the candidate for a delivery destination area determined to have high priority.
