  • Publication number: 20060030283
    Abstract: A cellular telephone receives a first communication signal from a cell-site station and transmits a second communication signal to the cell-site station. The cellular telephone includes an antenna, a duplexer, a receiver, an encoder/decoder apparatus, an acoustic transducer, a transmitter and a controller. The receiver is connected to the antenna through the duplexer. The receiver converts the first communication signal into a voice signal code, and outputs a signal indicating an intensity of the first communication signal. The transmitter is connected to the encoder/decoder apparatus and to the antenna through the duplexer. The receiver converts the input voice code signal from the encoder/decoder apparatus into the second communication signal. The controller is connected to the receiver and the transmitter. The controller controls amplitude of the transmitter corresponding to said intensity of the first communication signal.

  • Patent number: 6973334
    Abstract: A cellular telephone includes a receiver connected to an antenna through a duplexer. The receiver converts a first communication signal into a voice signal code, and outputs a signal indicating an intensity of the first communication signal. The cellular telephone also includes a transmitter connected to an encoder/decoder apparatus and to the antenna through the duplexer. The receiver converts the input voice code signal from the encoder/decoder apparatus into a second communication signal. A controller controls the amplitude of the transmitter corresponding to the intensity of the first communication signal. The transmitter includes a variable amplitude amplifier and a power amplifier, and the controller includes a central processing unit and a memory. The controller controls a gain of the variable amplitude amplifier and a bias condition of the power amplifier according to a function stored in the memory.

  • Patent number: 5054375
    Abstract: A piston comprises a crown part, a piston under part, a first shoulder at a thrust side formed between the crown part and the piston under part, a second shoulder at an anti-thrust side formed between the crown part and the piston under part, a first in-low part at the thrust side formed in the piston under part, and a second in-low part at the anti-thrust side formed in the piston under part, wherein a thickness of the first shoulder is formed thinner than a thickness of the second shoulder, and a height of the first in-low part is formed smaller than a height of the second in-low part.

  • Patent number: 5052281
    Abstract: A piston installed into a cylinder of an engine includes annular projections formed in axially spaced relation on a top land facing a cylinder inner wall and having a saw-toothed cross-section in which the external diameter of the projections are such that, when cold, that adjacent the lower end of the top land is greater than that adjacent the upper end thereof. Thereby the effective clearance between the top land face and the cylinder inner wall is reduced. This causes a reduction in the hydrocarbon content of the incompletely consumed combustion gas, and prevents the temperature from rising in the top ring groove and thus prevents the wearing of the groove.
