  • Patent number: 8224369
    Abstract: A disclosed radio communication apparatus includes a precoding unit, a optimum transmit power calculation unit and a transmission unit. The optimum transmit power calculation unit receives the transmit weight related information from the precoding unit and calculates a transmit power level to optimize an objective function in accordance with an interior point method. The objective function results from addition of a barrier function adjusted with a barrier parameter to an original objective function associated with a constrained optimization problem. The original objective function includes a function of respective channel capacities for individual users derived from the transmit weight related information. The optimum transmit power calculation unit adaptively updates a logarithm of the barrier parameter and uses a gradient obtained through a high-order derivative with the logarithm of the barrier parameter to calculate the transmit power level to optimize the resulting objective function.

  • Publication number: 20100128457
    Abstract: A plurality of fan unit mounting projections are each extended substantially in parallel with a rotary shaft of a fan included in a fan unit and are provided integrally to a fan unit mounting part. A belt-shaped elastic body is hung onto each of the fan unit mounting projections, and is made in contact with a plurality of locations on an outer peripheral part of the fan unit. The fan unit is retained, while being spaced apart from the fan unit mounting part in a direction along the rotary shaft of the fan, due to a clipping force of the belt-shaped elastic body.

  • Publication number: 20070236936
    Abstract: A transmissive sealing member 18 is provided on an exit opening portion of an ellipsoidal mirror 11 and forms a sealed space inside the ellipsoidal mirror 11. A light shielding member 12a is formed on a surface of the transmissive sealing member 18 on a side of a discharge lamp 10. The ellipsoidal mirror 11 condenses the light emitted from the discharge lamp 10 and outputs the light to the outside. The light shielding member 12a shields the light, which is reflected and returns toward the discharge lamp 10, of the light emitted from the ellipsoidal mirror 11 to the outside. In this way, temperature rise of parts of the discharge lamp 10 is suppressed and reliability of a light source device 17a is improved.
