  • Publication number: 20140148216
    Abstract: Disclosed is a cordless telephone set capable of suppressing power consumption during power failures to lengthen the time for a call. A cordless telephone (1) receives power supply from a handset (3) placed on a charging section (26) of a base unit (2), during power failures. In order to suppress current consumption of a secondary battery (BT) of the handset (3), the base unit (2) instructs a base unit radio section (21) to be switched to a transmission power-saving mode in which transmission power of the base unit radio section (21) is reduced down to a level at which no communication error occurs, according to radio wave information transmitted from the handset (3) and indicates the received signal strength of a radio signal from the base unit radio section (21) of the base unit (2), received by a handset radio section (39) of the handset (3).

  • Publication number: 20080181350
    Abstract: This invention relates to a MOX fuel assembly for PWRs that enables satisfactorily suppressing a power peaking factor without the necessity of reducing the Pu content per fuel assembly. The MOX fuel assembly has a lattice arrangement in which one or more burnable poison contained UO2 fuel rods and a plurality of MOX fuel rods are disposed in an n-rows by n-columns (n×n) lattice array. The MOX fuel rod consists of at least two kinds of MOX fuel rods including a plurality of first MOX fuel rods and a plurality of second MOX fuel rods. The first MOX fuel rod has a predetermined Pu content and a predetermined Pu weight, and the second MOX fuel rod has substantially the same Pu content as that of the first MOX fuel rod and a different Pu weight from that of the first MOX fuel rod.
