Abstract: A clock data recovery device 1 generates a recovered clock Recovered Clock and recovered data Recovered Data based on an input signal Data In, and includes a signal selector 10, a phase delay unit 20, a time measurement unit 30, a phase selector 40, an edge detector 50, a polarity detector 60, a logic inverter 70, and a data output unit 80. The signal selector 10, the phase delay unit 20, the time measurement unit 30, and the phase selector 40 constitute a clock-generation device 1A. The phase delay unit 20 includes a plurality of cascaded delay elements 211 to 21P. The phase selector 40 selects a signal output from the delay element in a position corresponding to a unit interval time among the delay elements 211 to 21P, and outputs the signal as a feedback clock Feedback Clock.

Abstract: A battery condition monitoring device has a control section for monitoring conditions of a high voltage battery on the basis of detection signals detected and transmitted by monitoring ICs. The control section has a main control section and a sub control section. When the main control section is in an abnormal condition, the sub control section detects the conditions of the high voltage battery, and instructs SMRs to turn on and off an electrical connection between the high voltage battery and a vehicle driving electric motor. The SMRs are arranged on connection lines through which the high voltage battery is connected to the vehicle driving electric motor.

Abstract: A radio receiver unit which permits the electric power to be consumed in decreased amounts by a filter that suppresses the interference waves yet maintaining a quality of reception. The radio receiver unit has a FIR filter 16 for removing interference waves in a stage succeeding a receiving circuit unit 11 that receives RF signals containing desired waves and interference waves, and includes an interference wave power estimating unit 20 for estimating the magnitude of electric power of interference waves from the signal power measured by power measuring units 18, 19 and input to, and output from, the filter 16. When the estimated value of interference wave power is smaller than a threshold value, a control unit 21 turns the FIR filter 16 off.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to a qualification method for testing a radio communication system including a plurality of radio terminals. The method includes providing a representative terminal having a machine type identical to a machine type of the plurality of radio terminals, and executing a qualification test on the representative terminal so as to determine whether or not the representative terminal can be used in a desired radio communication system from a plurality of radio communication systems. The method also includes receiving a test success message indicating that the representative terminal passed the qualification test, and notifying the test success message to the plurality of radio terminals. The present invention also relates to a computer program product and apparatus for performing the qualification test.

Abstract: A composite material having a carbon matrix, and a titanium-copper alloy dispersed in the carbon matrix and containing 1-80% by weight of titanium and 15.4-99% by weight of copper. The titanium-copper alloy is present in an amount of 2-85% based on a total weight of the carbon matrix and the titanium-copper alloy. The composite material may additionally contain carbon fibers dispersed in the carbon matrix. The composite material is produced by incorporating powder or melt of titanium and copper or copper alloy into a shaped body of carbon.

Abstract: An apparatus develops an electrostatic latent image formed on an image carrier by attaching a developing agent containing toners, thereby converting the latent image into a toner image, transfers the toner image on a sheet, and fixes the toner image, thereby recording an image. The developing agent consists of a first magnetic toner containing less than 45 wt. % of a magnetic powder and having a comparatively low magnetism and low charge amount, and a second magnetic toner which has almost the same particle diameter as that of the first magnetic toner and charge characteristics of the same polarity as that of the first magnetic toner, contains 45 wt. % or more of a magnetic powder, and has a comparatively high magnetism and low charge amount. The first and second magnetic toners are mixed with a formulating proportion of 20 to 99 parts by weight and 1 to 80 parts by weight, respectively. The apparatus includes a convey mechanism for conveying the developing agent to the image carrier with a magnetism.

Abstract: In a color image formation apparatus which comprises a photosensitive medium, optical image exposure device for exposing the photosensitive medium to an optical image having light components of an image original, and electrostatic latent image formation device for forming electrostatic latent images on the photosensitive medium in accordance with the exposure to the optical image.

Abstract: An image transfer device, in which a developed image formed on an image-bearing member is transferred therefrom to a transfer medium, comprises a corona discharge device opposed to the image-bearing member for imparting corona discharge, a device for gripping the leading end edge of the transfer medium, a support extending between the corona discharge device and the image-bearing member and supporting the gripping device for circulatory movement, and an element for confining the path of the transfer medium gripped and guided by the gripping device substantially within the path of that device.

Abstract: In transferring a toner image carried on a toner image carrier onto a transfer medium, a uniform charge is imparted to the surface of the toner image carrier while a charge of the same polarity as the uniform charge is imparted to the surface of the transfer medium, whereafter a toner image is transferred from the surface of the toner image carrier to the surface of the transfer medium.
