  • Patent number: 7039003
    Abstract: Symbol 102 that is spread with the only short spreading code and inserted in synchronism with a long spreading code is specified by detecting the correlation with only the short spreading code. Next, another short spreading code indicative of a timing of reverse and forward link switching is specified, where the short spreading code is multiplexed at the same position as that of the detected symbol. The detection of the symbols spread with only these spreading codes enables to acquire synchronization of the long spreading code, synchronization of switching of reverse and forward links, and synchronization of a transmission frame. It is thereby possible to reduce synchronization acquisition time for the long spreading and an easy planning of base station locations without decreasing the frequency utilization efficiency.

  • Patent number: 7020445
    Abstract: A radio base station apparatus may include two diversity antennas spaced apart by a distance that allows space diversity, with each diversity antenna functioning as an adaptive array antenna. Each diversity antenna has a corresponding transmitter that includes a calculator that calculates a transmission weight from one of (i) a reception weight determined based on an uplink signal and (ii) direction of arrival information. Each transmitter also has a multiplier that multiplies only a transmission signal for a channel to a specific user by the transmission weight. Also, each transmitter has a transmit power controller that controls the transmit power of the transmission signal, multiplied by the transmission weight, in accordance with a transmit power control signal.

  • Publication number: 20060045652
    Abstract: As inert gas is ejected toward the rim of the other major surface W2 of the substrate W from a front portion of a substrate supporting head 71 which is opposed against an approximately central portion of the other major surface W2 of the substrate W, the substrate W is sucked owing to the Bernoulli effect and supported approximately horizontally by the substrate supporting head 71 without contacting anywhere. When a control unit 80 drives an actuator 74, the substrate supporting head 71 and a head supporting arm 72 ascend and descend as one integrated unit, and the substrate W which is sucked and supported approximately horizontally by the substrate supporting head 71 moves upward and downward. Thus, as the substrate supporting head 71 ascends and descends, the gap between an opposing surface 5b of a spin base 5 and a rim portion of the other major surface W2 of the substrate W is adjusted to any desired value and uniformly all around the circumference of the substrate W.

  • Publication number: 20050284369
    Abstract: As a substrate transportation robot transports an unprocessed substrate W to a substrate transfer position P1, inert gas ejected from a substrate floating head 71 toward the bottom surface of the substrate W floats up the unprocessed substrate W. Driven by an actuator 74, the substrate floating head 71 floating up the unprocessed substrate W then moves down. Upon arrival of the unprocessed substrate W at a substrate processing position P3, a bottom rim portion of the substrate W engages with support pins 3, and as the substrate floating head 71 further moves down, the unprocessed substrate W is transferred to and mounted on the support pins 3. The substrate W is thus positioned at the substrate processing position P3, whereby the bottom rim portion of the substrate W and an opposing surface 5b of a spin base 5 are positioned close to each other and opposed against each other.

  • Publication number: 20050276921
    Abstract: In the vicinity of a rim portion of a spin base 5, a plurality of supports 7 which abut on a bottom rim portion of a substrate W and support the substrate W are formed projecting toward above from the spin base 5. The substrate W is supported horizontally by the plurality of supports 7, with a predetermined distance ensured from the spin base 5 which opposes the bottom surface of the substrate W. Into the space which is created between the top surface of the substrate W and an opposing surface 9a of an atmosphere blocker plate 9, inert gas is ejected from a plurality of gas ejection outlets 9b which are formed in the opposing surface 9a. The inert gas thus supplied to the top surface of the substrate W presses the substrate W against the supports 7 and the substrate W is held at the spin base 5.

  • Publication number: 20050271985
    Abstract: Nitrogen is dissolved in pure water and hydrochloric acid is mixed in this nitrogen-dissolved pure water, thereby creating as a rinsing liquid a mixture liquid whose pH is lower than that of pure water, and thus created rinsing liquid is supplied at nozzles 6 and 25 toward a substrate W. In the case of such a rinsing liquid, the dissolved oxygen concentration in the rinsing liquid is lowered, and it is possible to suppress a rapid increase of the dissolved oxygen concentration in the rinsing liquid as it is immediately after injected at the nozzles 6 and 25. Also suppressed is elution of Si from the surfaces of the substrate.

  • Patent number: 6970497
    Abstract: A base station receives a signal resulting from multiplexing a communication signal spread using a signal-specific spreading code and sent by mobile station apparatus and a calibration (CAL) signal spread using a signal-specific spreading code and sent for each unit frame for a predetermined time by a CAL radio signal generator in a same frequency band. An A/D conversion/despreading section and an A/D conversion/despreading section extract the communication signal and CAL signal from the received signal. A calibration processing section carries out calibration processing using the CAL signal in parallel with a communication using the communication signal. An array combining/signal processing section carries out demodulation processing on the communication signal using the calibration processing result.

  • Patent number: 6968023
    Abstract: Respective threshold value judging units 108-1 through 108-n compare the likelihoods calculated by the corresponding likelihood calculators 106-1 through 106-n with threshold values stored in a threshold value buffer 109 in terms of size, and output signals, which show the corresponding likelihood in only a case where the likelihood is the threshold value or more, through a likelihood transmission bus 110. The rank decision unit 112 ranks the symbols for which the likelihood is an appointed threshold value or more, on the basis of the likelihoods stored in the likelihood buffer 111, whereby it is possible to relieve the traffic of a bus line and to suppress the amount of processing in a ranking process with respect to all non-demodulated symbols.

  • Patent number: 6961989
    Abstract: A stator device which prevents the formation of varnish accumulations on jumper wires, thereby preventing jumper wire breakage due to temperature variations. A gap is created between the jumper wire and the stud located on the stator body. When varnish is applied to the stud and the jumper wires, excess varnish flows through the gap and pools underneath. Moreover, when there is a significant accumulation of varnish in the gap, the varnish will flow off from the edge of the stator body.
