Publication number: 20090067854Abstract: An optical space communication reception circuit receives a signal in switched-over communication speed modes and under settings corresponding to the communication speed modes. Receiver sensitivity in the respective communication speed modes is set in advance such that maximum communicable distances in the communication speed modes are substantially equal. By this, it becomes possible, for example, in optical space transmission such as infrared communication and the like to enhance a false operation prevention characteristic against disturbance noise, without decreasing maximum communicable distances.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 29, 2008Publication date: March 12, 2009Inventors: Naruichi YOKOGAWA, Takeshi Nishino, Hitoshi Naoe

Patent number: 7460792Abstract: In an optical communication-use receiving circuit of the present invention, the pulse width of the received pulse which is a binary signal corresponding to the signal optical pulse is specified by using an integration circuit and a trigger generating circuit. If the pulse width of the received pulse is not shorter than a predetermined value, a signal having a fixed pulse width is outputted as an output signal from a one-shot pulse generating circuit, so that a pulse having a constant pulse width corresponding to the specified communication speed is outputted. Accordingly, if the pulse width deriving from the signal optical pulse is larger than a certain value, the communication is deemed as a low-speed communication, and a pulse having a constant pulse width corresponding to the communication speed is outputted. As a result, it is possible to realize a small-size receiving circuit and a small-size electronic device which require no external switching-over terminal.Type: GrantFiled: July 7, 2005Date of Patent: December 2, 2008Assignee: Sharp Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Naruichi Yokogawa, Takeshi Nishino

Patent number: 7437084Abstract: A receiving circuit stops a one shot timer from generating an output signal immediately after the output signal is outputted to an external entity until a predetermined stretch time elapses. With this arrangement, the receiving circuit will not generate a new output signal even if (i) noises generated by a voltage fluctuation of the output signal appear on an amplified signal immediately after the output signal is outputted (at the end of the output), and (ii) the value of the amplified signal exceeds a threshold value. Therefore, the receiving circuit can make sure that an unnecessary output signal will not be generated due to the noises.Type: GrantFiled: October 21, 2004Date of Patent: October 14, 2008Assignee: Sharp Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Naruichi Yokogawa, Hiroaki Itoh, Takeshi Nishino, Ryosuke Kawashima

Patent number: 7359649Abstract: An infrared transmitter circuit causes an output current to flow to a light emission diode via a current mirror circuit constituted of three transistors by using a current supplied from a power source circuit, so that the light emission diode emits light. When a voltage V1 varied by charging a capacitor with a current flowing from the power source circuit exceeds a reference voltage (voltage V2), an output of a comparator resets a D flip-flop, so that an output of the D flip-flop varies to “0”. Thus, an output of a NAND gate to which that output and a transmission signal are inputted causes a transistor (N-channel FET) to turn ON so as to stop operation of the current mirror circuit, and causes a transistor (P-channel FET) to turn OFF so as to cut a connection between the power source circuit and a power source line. Thus, it is possible to reduce power consumption in operation of a protection circuit which stops supplying the output current to the light emission diode.Type: GrantFiled: October 21, 2004Date of Patent: April 15, 2008Assignee: Sharp Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Hiroaki Itoh, Naruichi Yokogawa, Takeshi Nishino, Ryosuke Kawashima

Publication number: 20080035461Abstract: A gear-link type key switch including a pair of link members on a base panel, wherein the key switch has a constitution in that the pair of link members are not disengaged when a key top is attached to the link members. Furthermore, the key switch alleviates the need for an undesired attaching method because of its structure, when a key top is attached to the link members. In order to prevent the pair of link members from disengaging in an anteroposterior direction, wall members are provided on the base panel of the key switch. The wall members arranged on opposite sides of a contact section of the link members, abutting the outside of pivoting shafts, are made by cutting the plate member of the base panel and pulling up the cut plate member, and are an integral part of the plate member.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 8, 2007Publication date: February 14, 2008Applicant: FUJITSU COMPONENT LIMITEDInventor: Takeshi Nishino

Patent number: 7054389Abstract: A carrier detection circuit of the present invention detects groups of pulses having a carrier frequency by using a detector, and integrates, by an integrator, a time in which the groups are detected, so as to generate a carrier detection level. Therefore, a transistor is only requested to have responsibility with respect to a frequency of a base band component, but not to the carrier frequency. This ensures a margin with respect to a response of the transistor, while allowing a feeble current to be used as charging and discharging currents for the capacitor. In this way, even if a capacitor in use has such a small capacity that the capacitor can be incorporated in an integrated circuit, the detection of the carrier is performed accurately.Type: GrantFiled: August 2, 2001Date of Patent: May 30, 2006Assignee: Sharp Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Naruichi Yokogawa, Takeshi Nishino, Kazuo Noda
