  • Patent number: 9276462
    Abstract: Provided is a controller that is capable of reducing fall in a waveform of a power supply voltage when the power supply voltage supplied to a CPU is reduced. A controller for controlling voltage regulators includes a differential amplifier that outputs a measurement voltage corresponding to a power supply voltage supplied to a load and an error amplifier having a non-inverting input terminal supplied with a target voltage and an inverting input terminal supplied with a measurement voltage. The error amplifier compares the target voltage and the measurement voltage and outputs a signal for controlling the voltage regulators. Further included in the controller is a correction circuit that applies an offset voltage to the inverting input terminal of the error amplifier when the power supply voltage supplied to the load is reduced.

  • Patent number: 8111643
    Abstract: A relay apparatus (100) acting as an access point of wireless LAN watches a packet showing a request of starting communication among the packets to be relayed between terminal apparatuses (101,102) and records the identification information of the terminal apparatus included in the packet. When the number of the terminal apparatuses whose identification information is recorded exceeds a preset upper limit value, the relay apparatus disconnects a communication relating to the latest identification information by transmitting a disconnection command or discarding the packet. With this arrangement, deterioration of streaming communication controlled by an access point (AP) of wireless LAN can be prevented.

  • Patent number: 7983220
    Abstract: There is provided a wireless LAN terminal and a handover method thereof for resolving a sound cutoff and image cutoff which occur when a terminal is moved. The wireless LAN terminal stores BSSID of wireless LAN access points and a frame control in a MAC header of a communication frame in advance. In case of switching a wireless LAN access point for communication, the wireless LAN terminal replaces BSSID of a wireless LAN access point of a communication frame so as to continue the communication.

  • Patent number: 7454172
    Abstract: If a PHS wireless LAN combo is constituted in which a PHS base station and a wireless LAN base station are placed in the same case, their frequency bands are different but they interfere with each other due to an influence of higher harmonics, which decreases communication efficiency. When a PHS base station is in a transmitting state and a wireless LAN base station is in a receiving state, a transmission signal from the PHS base station is multiplied by a predetermined attenuation ratio so as to subtract an attenuated value from a received signal of the wireless LAN base station, and when the wireless LAN base station is in a transmitting state and the PHS base station is in a receiving state, a transmission signal from the wireless LAN base station is multiplied by the predetermined attenuation ratio so as to subtract an attenuated value from a received signal of the PHS base station.

  • Publication number: 20070074177
    Abstract: In extracting logic by backward slice, all logic portions influencing an output start point are extracted and the extraction result contains logic not necessary for a user. In order to solve this, a user is made to designate input information on logic to be extracted from a program constituting an already existing system, and it is judged whether it is necessary to extract specific logic of each command statement of the program. Extraction necessity of specific logic from an analysis subject program is classified as follows. A command statement influenced by only an input designated by a user is classified into a command statement to be extracted, a command statement influenced by both an input designated by the user and an input not designated by the user is classified into a command statement to be corrected, and a command statement influenced by only an input not designated by the user is classified into a command statement not to be extracted.

  • Patent number: 7158773
    Abstract: A wireless LAN base station is provided with a noise signal scanning antenna separately from a wireless signal reception antenna. An attenuation circuit section attenuates the received signal from the noise scanning antenna according to an attenuation factor from an attenuation factor storage section. A distance setting storage section stores a distance between the wireless signal reception antenna and the noise scanning antenna. An attenuation factor storage section holds pieces of data each of which indicates the relationship between the distance between the antennas and an attenuation factor in the form of a table. An attenuation circuit section employs the attenuation factor so as to attenuate the received signal from the noise signal scanning antenna. A subtraction circuit section subtracts an output signal of the attenuation circuit section from the signal from the wireless signal reception antenna, and reduces or eliminates a noise from the received signal from the wireless signal reception antenna.

  • Patent number: 7095089
    Abstract: A light detecting device is fabricated to have the following structure: a light receiving element having a protective layer, in which a transparent conductive electrode, a semiconductor layer, an electrode and the protective layer are successively formed on a transparent substrate, is arranged on a first face of an insulating substrate having a terminal electrode formed to be exposed to first and second faces of the insulating substrate in such a manner that the protective layer is opposed to the first face of the insulating substrate; and further the transparent conductive electrode and the electrode are connected electrically to the terminal electrode exposed to the first face of the insulating substrate. The light detecting device having this structure is surface-mounted on a circuit board to connect the terminal electrode exposed to the second face of the insulating substrate to an external terminal of the circuit board.
