Patent number: 5649106Abstract: A parallel computer having a plurality of cluster buses 2 which are connected to the processor (PE) 1 via the selectors 6. The selectors 6 maintain the same condition until the next instruction is received. In this system, the clusters 11 are reconstructed at appropriate timing during the operation of the processor, thus allowing the number of processors PEs in a cluster to be exchanged in response to variation in the process load allocated to each cluster 11. Accordingly, the resources of the computer are used more effectively. The execution environment of each process may be independent. Real time execution of each process can be assured.Type: GrantFiled: May 2, 1996Date of Patent: July 15, 1997Assignee: Mitsubishi Denki Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Shingo Tsujimichi, Michimasa Kondo

Patent number: 5495248Abstract: A stabilizing method of a synthetic aperture radar and a position determining method by the radar. At least three repeaters are arranged in mutually different positions on the ground or the sea and a radio frequency signal having a predetermined frequency is transmitted from the radar mounted on a radar platform such as an aircraft to the repeaters. Each repeater frequency-modulates and amplifies the received signal to return the signal to the radar. The radar receives the signal returned from each repeater. The radar calculates a distance between the radar platform and each repeater on the basis of a time required for the transmitting and the receiving and phase information of the received signal. When the position of each repeater is known, by using the positions of the repeaters and the calculated distances, the position of the radar platform can be calculated. On the basis of the obtained position of the radar platform, a reference signal for phase compensation is generated.Type: GrantFiled: November 16, 1993Date of Patent: February 27, 1996Assignees: Sachio Uehara, Director General, Technical Research and Development Institute, Japan Defence Agency, Mitsubishi Denki Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Masatoshi Kawase, Seiichi Maeda, Takahiko Fujisaka, Yoshimasa Oh-Hashi, Michimasa Kondo, Natsuki Kondo

Patent number: 5457462Abstract: A radar signal processor for use in a pulse radar system. Reception signals are given from a range divide and output circuit to a plurality of integration point variable coherent integrators, each of which is allocated to a different range domain. The range domain is given to an integration point setting section provided corresponding to each integration point variable coherent integrator. The integration point setting section determines the number of coherent integration points based on the given range domain and sets it in the corresponding integration point variable coherent integrator. The signal resulting from coherent integration by the integration point variable coherent integrator is discriminated to frequencies, then supplied to any square detector for square detection for each frequency component. Square detection output is fed into a CFAR detector, which then makes its false alarm rate constant for a supply to a display, etc.Type: GrantFiled: July 25, 1994Date of Patent: October 10, 1995Assignee: Mitsubishi Denki Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Masashi Mitsumoto, Takahiko Sugimoto, Takahiko Fujisaka, Michimasa Kondo

Patent number: 5432885Abstract: A fuzzy inference apparatus in which a new membership function is synthesized from a current, weighted membership function and a previously synthesized membership function fed back from a previous operation and in which a new inference value is derived from the newly-synthesized membership function. The apparatus also includes, in one embodiment, weighting apparatus for weighting the previously synthesized membership function according to the degree of response of a selected process characteristic of the process in relation to the previously synthesized membership function.Type: GrantFiled: September 24, 1992Date of Patent: July 11, 1995Assignee: Mitsubishi Denki Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Kohei Nomoto, Michimasa Kondo

Patent number: 5323162Abstract: A synthetic aperture radar system is mounted in a moving platform. The synthetic aperture radar system includes a multi-beam antenna having a plurality of reception beams different in direction from one another, the multi-beam antenna being adapted to receive radar echoes from objects. The width of each of the reception beams is selected such that the band width of a Doppler shift contained in the radar echo of a moving object is broader than that of a Doppler shift contained in the radar echo of a stationary object. The radar echo is pulse compressed to improve the range resolution before the frequency thereof is shifted such that the center frequency of the Doppler shift due to the velocity of the moving platform becomes zero. After the frequency shifting, the radar echo is filtered to separate the radar echoes of the moving and stationary objects from each other.Type: GrantFiled: September 23, 1993Date of Patent: June 21, 1994Assignee: Mitsubishi Denki Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Takahiko Fujisaka, Yoshimasa Oh-Hashi, Michimasa Kondo

Patent number: 5087917Abstract: A radar system having a phased array antenna for transmission and a digital beam forming antenna for reception for observing a plurality of targets by transmitting transmission pulses to the respective targets comprises a subtraction control circuit, a transmission timing control circuit and a transmission beam direction control circuit. The substraction control circuit calculates a required number of transmission pulses (beams) to be transmitted for each of transmission cycles in accordance with detected Doppler frequencies of the targets, so as not to cause ambiguity on the detected Doppler frequencies, and determines a beam direction for each of transmission beams. The timing control circuit and beam direction control circuit control transmission timing and direction of the beams.Type: GrantFiled: September 18, 1990Date of Patent: February 11, 1992Assignee: Mitsubishi Denki Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Takahiko Fujisaka, Tetsuo Kirimoto, Yoshimasa Oh-hashi, Michimasa Kondo

Patent number: 4947176Abstract: A multiple-beam antenna system capable of forming a plurality of beams at one time in different directions. The antenna system has a plurality of element antennas arranged in a predetermined configuration. A signal received by each element antenna is converted to a digital signal which in turn is subjected to a Fourier transform. The Fourier-transformed receiving signal is multiplied with a Fourier-transformed weighting function. The resultant product is subjected to an inverse Fourier transform to be used for calculating an antenna radiation pattern. A holographic multiple-beam antenna is also disclosed.Type: GrantFiled: June 8, 1989Date of Patent: August 7, 1990Assignee: Mitsubishi Denki Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Shigeho Inatsune, Yoshimasa Ohashi, Takahiko Fujisaka, Michimasa Kondo

Patent number: 4864490Abstract: An auto-tuning controller includes a fuzzy resonator for the adjustment of control parameters used in the development of a control variable for controlling the operation of a system to be controlled. A characteristic variable extractor is provided which is responsive to an error signal representative of a difference between a reference value and a controlled variable value output by the system to produce a characteristic variable indicative of the operational state of the system. Based upon this characteristic variable, a fuzzy resonator adjusts the control parameters in accordance with predetermined reasoning rules stored in a reasoning rule memory.Type: GrantFiled: April 10, 1987Date of Patent: September 5, 1989Assignee: Mitsubishi Denki Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Kohei Nomoto, Tetsuo Kirimoto, Michimasa Kondo

Patent number: 4472718Abstract: A tracking radar system which includes a variable frequency oscillator for supplying to a vertical antenna array an oscillation frequency which is changed for each of a number of pulses transmitted from the antenna array. The antenna array transmits an electric wave toward a target at a low altitude and receives an echo from the target. An electronic computer estimates an elevation angle of the target from the echo received by the antenna array according to array aperture sampling technique for each pulse. An averaging circuit averages those estimated elevation angles of the target to provide its elevation angle. Alternatively, the oscillation frequency may change for each of finite time intervals.Type: GrantFiled: October 2, 1981Date of Patent: September 18, 1984Assignee: Mitsubishi Denki Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Yoshimasa Ohashi, Tetsuo Kirimoto, Michimasa Kondo
