  • Publication number: 20150382135
    Abstract: An embodiment of the present invention provides a wireless communication apparatus which can automatically switch to an operation mode corresponding to a communication target. The wireless communication apparatus detects a communication target near to the wireless communication apparatus. It determines whether or not the detected communication target is capable of P2P communication with the wireless communication apparatus. In the case of determining that the communication target is capable of P2P communication, the wireless communication apparatus determines that the communication target is a mobile terminal and switches the operation mode to a P2P mode to establish P2P communication with the mobile terminal.

  • Patent number: 8314864
    Abstract: A horizontal evaluation data generation section calculates an average value of pixel signals in a vertical optical black region based on given pixel data in the horizontal optical black region and outputs the calculated average value to an evaluation section. A vertical evaluation data generation section calculates an average value of pixel signals in a vertical optical black region based on given pixel data in the vertical optical black region and outputs the calculated average value to the evaluation section. The evaluation section outputs a gain value according to the difference between the two sent average values to a computing section. A smear information memory stores pixel signals in a line in the vertical optical black region. The computing section multiplies the pixel data stored in the smear information memory by the sent gain value, and subtracts the multiplied pixel data from the pixel data imaged by the CCD.

  • Patent number: 8294322
    Abstract: In a rotating electrical machine, when a stator winding is wound in concentrated winding, an improvement in performance is achieved by reducing a magnetomotive force harmonic without reducing a fundamental wave magnetic flux generated by a stator. A rotating electrical machine (10) includes a rotor (18), and two stators (14, 16) opposed with the rotor (18) being interposed therebetween either on both sides of the rotor (18) in the axial direction or on both sides of the rotor (18) in the radial direction. Stator windings (22) provided in a plurality of portions in the circumferential direction of each stator (14, 16) are wound in concentrated winding. The directions of magnetic fluxes generated by stator windings (22) having the same phase in the stators (14, 16) are in mutually opposite directions with respect to either the axial direction or the radial direction.
