Abstract: Output signals of a torque sensor include a first output signal used in an assist control and a second output signal used in controls other than the assist control. An adjusting device of an electric power steering device includes an input torque meter for measuring an input torque applied to the input shaft, an output torque meter for measuring an output torque output by the steering mechanism, and a sensor output corrector for correcting an output signal of the torque sensor.

Abstract: In a communication system that includes a first base station, a second base station, and at least one terminal that makes a connection to the second base station, a connection destination of the terminal that makes a connection to the second base station is efficiently switched. The terminal that makes a connection to the second base station determines received quality of each of a neighboring base station that is positioned in the neighborhood of the second base station and the second base station, and notifies a macro cell base station and the second base station of the received quality. Furthermore, the first base station or the second base station determines whether or not the terminal has to perform handover, based on the received quality. In a case where the handover has to be performed, the first base station determines the connection destination of the terminal, based on the received quality notified from the terminal, and provides a handover instruction.

A feedback information generation unit 208 has a function of adjusting the amount of information used for representing a channel estimated value which is output from a channel estimation unit 206, depending on each base station device. In other words, among a feedback information amount used for representing a channel estimated value between the mobile station device and the base station device connected to the mobile station device, and a feedback information amount used for representing a channel estimated value between the mobile station device and a base station device other than the base station device connected to the mobile station device, the feedback information amount used for representing one type of channel estimated value is adjusted so as to be less than the feedback information amount used for representing the other type of channel estimated value.

Abstract: GI removers b102-nR remove a GI from received signals. FFT units b103-nR apply a time-to-frequency transform to the signals obtained in the GI removers b102-nR. Demapping units b104-nR separate from the obtained frequency-domain signals the received signals of resource elements in which data, a first pilot symbol, and a second pilot symbol were respectively transmitted. Path extractors b105-nR use the first pilot symbol to extract effective paths for estimation. Channel estimators b106-nR compute first CFR estimation values using the second pilot symbol, compute CIR estimation values by using path location information extracted by the path extractors and the first CFR estimation values, and then convert the CIR estimation values into second CFR estimation values.

Abstract: A receiving device, a receiving method, and a receiving program are provided and are capable of reducing performance degradation in a case where the spatial correlation of a channel becomes high. A transmission signal candidate search unit searches for a transmission signal in a direction in which reception performance is degraded, in MIMO signal detection. A transmission signal candidate generation unit generates transmission signal candidates while suppressing degradation due to the spatial correlation of a channel. In a decision unit, using the transmission signal candidates generated in the transmission signal candidate generation unit, a maximum likelihood sequence is obtained. The maximum likelihood sequence is obtained as transmission signal candidates where a metric is calculated and the metric becomes a minimum.
