  • Patent number: 11959147
    Abstract: A top-blowing lance nozzle is configured to freely switch an adequate expansion condition so as to control an oxygen-blowing amount and a jetting velocity independently of each other without requiring a plurality of lance nozzles or a mechanically movable part. A lance nozzle is configured to blow refining oxygen to molten iron charged in a reaction vessel while a gas is blown from a top-blowing lance to the molten iron. One or more blowing holes for blowing a working gas are on an inner wall side surface of the nozzle, at a site where the lance nozzle has a minimum cross-sectional area in a nozzle axis direction or at a neighboring site of the site.

  • Patent number: 8869002
    Abstract: The present disclosure eliminates the need for a buffer large enough to store a MAC PDU for the CRC check and eliminates processing delay involved in outputting data to, and inputting data from, the buffer. A wireless communication device analyzes and buffers an RLC data PDU, which is a data processing unit in the Radio Link Control layer (RLC layer), in the RLC layer without waiting for the completion of error detection processing, which is performed in the Medium Access Control layer (MAC layer), for a data processing unit (PDU) in the MAC layer. In the RLC layer, the wireless communication device references the result of the error detection processing for the MAC PDU performed in the MAC layer and creates an RLC Service Data Unit (RLC SDU) using an error-free RLC data PDU.

  • Patent number: 8275000
    Abstract: A wireless communication system includes a base station and a terminal station. The base station extracts paths that have a power level that exceeds a predetermined threshold value from delay profiles of the terminal station as available paths, selects a path having a maximum power or a first path from the available paths as a reference path, calculates a time difference between an arrival time of the reference path and a predetermined maximum arrival time, and transmits a result to the terminal station as a transmission timing control signal. The terminal station adjusts the transmission timing to the base station according to the time difference. The base station transmits the transmission timing control signal only when the base station detects the reference path.

  • Patent number: 8254979
    Abstract: A communication system includes a first radio communication apparatus and a second radio communication apparatus that includes multiple antennas. The first radio communication apparatus receives transmission signals transmitted from multiple antennas as reception signals, acquires a predetermined parameter for each antenna based on the reception signals, creates control information for causing the second radio communication apparatus to control transmission signals so that the parameter becomes a predetermined target value for each antenna, compares absolute values of differences between each acquired parameter and the target value, and transmits control information corresponding to the reception signal for which the absolute value is large to the second radio communication apparatus with priority over control information corresponding to the reception signal for which the absolute value is small.

  • Patent number: 7577167
    Abstract: In a method for adaptive transmission timing control, the overlooking of a base path at the side of the base station that occurs when the transmission timing offset amount changes to the extent of falling outside the current delay-profile calculation range, and the side of the mobile station fails to demodulate the control information that contains the transmission timing offset amount, is prevented. A limit is put on the transmission timing offset amount applied in a single transmission timing control iteration. Together with setting the transmission timing offset value such that the main component of the delay profile calculated from the pilot signal transmitted with offset transmission timing falls within the time range of when the current delay profile was calculated, the time range for calculating the next delay profile is shifted such that a delay profile calculated from the pilot signal transmitted with offset transmission timing falls within the shifted range, starting at the earliest component.
