Abstract: A power supply system includes a power distribution branch, a charging branch, and a control unit. The power distribution branch receives a first current. The charging branch includes a charging unit, and the charging branch receives a second current to charge an electric vehicle through the charging unit. The control unit is connected to the charging unit, and receives a current signal of the first current consumed by the power distribution branch. The control unit calculates an adjustment value of the second current according to a variation value of the first current when the first current is varied. A sum of the first current and the second current is less than or equal to an upper-limit value of a total household current. The control unit produces a charging command according to the adjustment value of the second current and provides the charging command to the charging unit.

Abstract: A radio communication apparatus includes a receiving section, a power supply section and a control section. The receiving section receives a radio signal when electric power is supplied, and the radio signal has a preamble field for storing a preamble pattern. The power supply section supplies the electrical power to the receiving section and stopping the supply of the electrical power in response to a supply stop signal. The control section generates the supply stop signal when presence of the preamble pattern can not be detected from the radio signal received by the receiving section, in a state in which a frame synchronization is established.

Abstract: A radio selective calling receiver includes a storage 105 storing a plurality of frequencies each corresponding to a particular area in which a service is available. A synchronized frequency storage 112 stores, frequency by frequency, the numbers of times of synchronization set up at consecutive sampling times together with the sampling times. When frequency search begins, a receipt frequency control 110 sequentially searches the frequencies in accordance with the number of times of synchronization set up at a sampling time closest to the time at which the search has begun. The receiver is capable reducing a period of time necessary for a frequency search without forcing the user of the receiver to perform any special setting operation. This reduces the probability of missing a call meant for the receiver and saves power to be allocated to frequency search.

Abstract: A multi-area pager includes a scan list table having multiple entries for storing data representing frequencies and area codes and an area information table for storing data representing a frequency and an area code associated with a received paging signal. When an out-of-range indication is given after synchronization sequences are not properly detected, the power-consuming receiver of the pager is briefly deactivated and then controlled according to the frequency data of the area information table to demodulate a paging signal. An area code of the signal is compared with that of the area information table if a synchronization sequence is detected. If that sequence is not detected or if the area codes do not match, the receiver is controlled according to the frequency data of a specified entry of the scan list table to demodulate a paging signal. Again, an area code of the signal is compared with that of the specified entry if a synchronization sequence is detected.

Abstract: A radio selective calling receiver has a function of causing a reception section for receiving a transmitted radio signal to intermittently receive the radio signal by intermittently supplying a reception section power supply ON signal for turning on the reception section. The radio selective calling receiver detects the movement of the receiver out of a coverage zone on the basis of data indicating that the radio signal received by the reception section contains no sync signals having a predetermined period. The receiver then determines the state of movement out of the coverage zone on the basis of a received state of the sync signals within a predetermined period of time in the past until the movement of the receiver out of the coverage zone is detected, and controls the time intervals at which the reception section power supply ON signal is supplied to the reception section in accordance with the determined state.

Abstract: In a radio apparatus outputting an alarm prior to a scheduled time, when the receiving part 2 receives a schedule message, first the radio apparatus notifies the reception through the notifying part 8. When notifying the reception, it judges whether or not a user has confirmed reception of the schedule message, namely, whether or not the user has pressed the switch part 10. When the user has pressed the switch part 10, it sets the scheduled time shown by the schedule message as an alarm time. On the other hand, in case that the user has not pressed the switch part 10 in response to the notification of reception it sets as an alarm time the time earlier by a predetermined time than the scheduled time shown by the schedule message. It compares the current time data Se outputted from the timer part 9 and the alarm time with each other and in case that the current time data Se and the alarm time coincide with each other it outputs an alarm through the notifying part 8.

Abstract: In a radio equipment which establishes synchronism with a radio signal by detecting a synchronizing signal included in the radio signal and performs intermittent reception of the radio signal until the synchronizing signal is detected, an ON time for a radio section is set longer than a transmission cycle of the synchronizing signal when the radio equipment is provided at a position where reception of the radio signal is possible. On the other hand, when the radio equipment is provided at a position where reception of the radio signal is impossible, the ON time for the radio section is set shorter. After setting the ON time for the radio section shorter, the ON time for the radio section is further set shorter if the radio equipment is still provided at a position where reception of the radio signal is impossible.

Abstract: A radio pager capable of displaying a message implemented as a fixed sentence includes a radio section for receiving and demodulating a paging signal. A first storage stores a plurality of address numbers allocated to the pager, and a comparing section compares an address number included in the demodulated paging signal with each of the address numbers stored in the first storage, and outputs, if the address number included in the demodulated paging signal is identical with any of the address numbers stored in the first storage, the address number included in the demodulated paging signal as an address number assigned to the pager while writing message data following the address number in a message memory. A second storage stores a plurality of tables each listing a particular kind of fixed sentences. A third storage stores correspondence between the address numbers allocated to the pager and the tables.
