Publication number: 20120244803Abstract: A communication system includes a first communication device and a second communication device. The first communication device includes a first near field communication part, a state detection part, and a first control part. The first control part, based on the state of the device itself detected by the state detection part, selects an output pattern for signals output from the first near field communication part and controls the first near field communication part so as to output signals of the selected output pattern. The second communication device includes a notification part, a second near field communication part, a memory, and a second control part. The second control part identifies the state of the first communication device corresponding to the pattern of the received signals, and provides notification of the identified state of the first communication device via the notification part.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 22, 2011Publication date: September 27, 2012Inventors: Tomohiro Sudou, Motoaki Abe, Atsuo Chiba, Nayu Nomachi, Hiroshi Tsuruta

Patent number: 5801850Abstract: A linear sensor for sampling vertically opposed pixels of a plurality of vertically arranged sensor rows substantially at a time. A plurality of horizontal transfer registers and a plurality of shift gates are provided to oppose the plurality of sensor rows. A vertical transfer register is provided at one end of the plurality of horizontal transfer registers. In the vertical transfer register, the signal charges which have been transferred by the plurality of horizontal transfer registers are transferred sequentially in vertical direction. A charge/voltage converter unit is provided at the output of the vertical transfer register. The signal charges accumulated in the vertically opposed pixels are sequentially transferred to the charge/voltage converter unit in a repetitive manner.Type: GrantFiled: July 10, 1996Date of Patent: September 1, 1998Assignee: Sony CorporationInventors: Yasuhito Maki, Motoaki Abe, Tadakuni Narabu, Hideo Nomura
