Publication number: 20140369236Abstract: A communication system includes: a specific node; and a plurality of nodes that are installed at fixed positions and perform ad hoc wireless communication with the specific node. The nodes each include a link quality evaluating unit, an upstream route constructing unit, a communicating unit, and a downstream route constructing unit. The link quality evaluating unit performs route evaluation using a hello frame based only on a track record of reception of the hello frame in order to perform upstream communication toward the specific node to form a network. The upstream route constructing unit constructs an upstream route based on the route evaluation. The communicating unit performs upstream communication toward the specific node on a regular basis with a predetermined frequency. The downstream route constructing unit constructs a downstream route from the specific node based on a route in the upstream communication toward the specific node.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 2, 2014Publication date: December 18, 2014Applicant: FUJITSU LIMITEDInventors: Taiji KONDO, Takao ITO, Hiroaki KAWASUMI, Takahiro KOHARAGI, Katsumi KOBAYASHI, Kobun NAKAJIMA, Satoshi KUROSAWA, Shigemasa MATSUBARA, Yoshihiko SHIROKURA

Patent number: 8731084Abstract: A local carrier wave output from a synthesizer to quadrature demodulators is multiplied by an offset that makes a frequency shift by an integer number of subcarriers in units of sub-carrier bands. The offset is set to a value obtained by multiplying the number sequentially counted up from 0 to the number of unused sub-carriers included in guard tones in a signal band by the bandwidth of a sub-carrier. By shifting the frequency of the local carrier wave at the time of quadrature demodulation with the offset, the SNR of a baseband signal is prevented from being constantly degraded by a frequency characteristic possessed by the circuit of a receiver in a particular sub-carrier signal. Especially, by preventing a pilot signal from being constantly degraded, the signal can be received with higher accuracy.Type: GrantFiled: April 10, 2013Date of Patent: May 20, 2014Assignee: Fujitsu Semiconductor LimitedInventor: Taiji Kondo

Patent number: 6717626Abstract: A protection panel is provided that enhances the color quality and/or contrast of a rear projection television set. The protection panel has a spectral transmittance that peaks at dominant wavelengths of red, green, and blue light, and that is reduced at wavelengths between red and green light and between green and blue light. The spectral transmittance at the dominant wavelengths is between sixty and eighty percent. Preferably, the spectral transmittance at the wavelengths between red and green light and between green and blue light are at least five percent less than at the dominant wavelengths. In addition, the spectral transmittance at a dominant wavelength of red light is about five percent less than at a dominant wavelength of blue light to reduce blue color saturation.Type: GrantFiled: May 8, 2000Date of Patent: April 6, 2004Assignee: Mitsubishi Digital Electronics America, Inc.Inventors: Taiji Kondo, Yuzo Nakano, Taketoshi Hibi
