  • Publication number: 20240142324
    Abstract: A torque detection device includes a first yoke and a first magnetic guide member. A first opposing portion of the first magnetic guide member overlaps with a first-yoke ring of the first yoke when the first-yoke ring is projected onto the first opposing portion in an axial direction. Furthermore, the first opposing portion overlaps with an inner surface of a second tubular portion when the inner surface is projected onto the first opposing portion in the axial direction. A housing distance, which is a shortest distance measured from the first opposing portion to the inner surface, is longer than a yoke distance, which is a shortest distance measured from the first opposing portion to the first-yoke ring.

  • Publication number: 20240094163
    Abstract: A magnetic property acquisition unit detects an induced voltage caused by vibration of a measurement sample magnetized by an excitation electromagnet and acquires a magnetic property that indicates a relationship between a magnetic flux density and an external magnetic field. The magnetic flux density is a sum of magnetization of the measurement sample and the external magnetic field. When acquiring the magnetic property of the measurement sample to which pressure is being applied, a control device sets a first magnetic field value as a sweep start value, and performs sweeping with a magnetic field equal to or less than the first magnetic field value. The first magnetic field value is smaller than a second magnetic field value that is acquired before the pressure is applied to the measurement sample, and corresponds to a saturation magnetic flux density of the measurement sample to which the pressure is not being applied.

  • Patent number: 8121027
    Abstract: A wireless system includes plural different access networks and terminals (19, 20) having interfaces corresponding to the plural different access networks (3, 5, 9, 13). Each of the access networks includes an access gateway (AGW) performing flow control. Upon receiving a packet transmission stop signal, the AGW determines whether a predetermined message transmitting chance is given. The AGW includes a control unit that transmits a message that requests a handover to another access network to a terminal when the message transmitting chance is given. The terminal includes a unit that performs a handover to another access network, upon receiving the message.

  • Patent number: 8107471
    Abstract: Disclosed herewith is a communication system, which can solve the following conventional problem that if packets exchanged between a terminal and an HA are encapsulated with use of the mobile IPv6 protocol, the PDSN cannot identify any IP flows in the mobile IPv6 tunnel. Consequently, there is no QoS usable appropriately to the services in the EV-D0 RAN. To solve such a problem, the PCRF notifies the HA of the filter information used to specify each IP flow and the flow label assigned to each IP flow. The HA then sets the flow label in the outer IPv6 header of the packet matching with the filter information and transfers the packet to the object unit. The PDSN then refers to the flow label set in the outer IPv6 header to identify the object IP flow in the mobile IPv6 tunnel. Consequently, a proper QoS can be usable for the services respectively in the EV-D0 RAN.

  • Publication number: 20110222541
    Abstract: Edge nodes form point-to-point communication paths with one another. Multiple communication paths set at one port of an edge node and/or a relay node are regarded as a group. Identification information of the port and identification information of a group that outputs a frame inputted into the port are previously stored as associated with each other. If the destination address of a frame inputted into the port is unknown, an outgoing interface search unit identifies at least one group corresponding to the port. The frame is outputted from a port corresponding to the identified group.

  • Patent number: 7991419
    Abstract: When half-duplex many-to-many communication is performed among a plurality of mobile stations having different codecs in a single group, transcoding is performed with a small number of codec circuits. A transcoder manages an SSRC of a received RTP packet, detaches voice information from a jitter buffer, which is identical to a latest SSRC, and inputs the detached voice information to a codec circuit. As the latest SSRC is switched, a voice sending station subject to transcode is switched, and mobile stations using the same codec share the codec circuit. Therefore, in a half-duplex many-to-many communication (group communication) system, called a professional mobile radio system, push-talk, or press-talk, it is not necessary to switch the transcoder until a radio station which takes a talk burst is changed during a single call (call session).

  • Patent number: 7764680
    Abstract: When congestion occurs in a RAN in a cell phone VoIP service, calls using the congested device are detected to permit generation of a restriction in call by call units. The congested device notifies call connection data passing through it to a PDSN, the PDSN finds the IP address of the terminal using the target connection, and notifies a CSCF as a restriction target terminal. The CSCF, in call connection processing, determines whether the calling/called sending/receiving user is the restriction target, and if so, determines whether or not the call should be connected with priority from subscriber data.
