Abstract: A purely-lateral position estimation unit (1603) estimates as an estimated purely-lateral position, when a disturbance wave to disturb communication performed in a train is generated while the train is traveling, a position existing in a purely-lateral direction with respect to a position of a generation source of the disturbance wave. A feature extraction unit (1604) extracts a feature of a measured reception power value being a reception power value measured in the train during a disturbance wave generation period wherein the disturbance wave has been generated.

Abstract: Provided is a powder suitable for a magnetic member capable of suppressing noise in a frequency range of 100 kHz to 20 MHz. The powder for a magnetic member contains a plurality of particles 2. The main part of the particle 2 is made of an alloy. The alloy contains B. The content of B in the alloy is 5.0 mass % or more and 8.0 mass % or less. The alloy may further contain one or more elements selected from the group consisting of Cr, Mn, Co, and Ni. The content of these elements is 0 mass % or more and 25 mass % or less. The balance of the alloy is Fe and unavoidable impurities. The alloy contains an Fe2B phase. The area percentage of the Fe2B phase in the alloy is 20 mass % or more and 80 mass % or less.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for synchronizing digital and analog/mixed signal modules in a test site of an open architecture test system is disclosed. Event triggers from digital modules are routed to an ASYNC module, which selectively distributes them to analog/mixed signal modules. When an event occurs, the trigger may activate an analog/mixed signal module to perform a certain operation. The ASYNC module may also receive triggers from the analog/mixed signal modules and selectively distribute them back to the digital modules or analog/mixed signal modules. The digital modules can be programmed to wait for an analog/mixed signal module to complete an operation, as indicated by a trigger received from that analog/mixed signal module, before continuing. Because embodiments of the present invention enable synchronization of digital and analog/mixed signal modules under pattern control, synchronization can be very precise and repeatable as compared to synchronization from a site controller.

Abstract: A testing apparatus having testing module slots onto which different types of testing modules are selectively mounted includes controlling modules for supplying control signals to the testing modules mounted on the testing module slots. The control signals are used for controlling the testing module. The apparatus also includes a setting information supplying unit for supplying hardware setting information to a specific testing module, an enable signal controlling unit for instructing the specific testing module to generate and supply an enable signal to the controlling module corresponding to the specific testing module, and a setting unit for setting the controlling module received said enable signal from the specific testing module so as to supply the control signal corresponding to the specific testing module based on the hardware setting information.

Abstract: A testing apparatus having a plurality of testing module slots onto which different types of testing modules are optionally mounted includes a plurality of controlling modules for supplying a control signal to each of the testing modules, the testing modules being mounted on the testing module slots respectively, the control signal being used for controlling the testing module, setting information supplying means for supplying hardware setting information to a specific testing module among the testing modules, the hardware setting information being set in advance in the controlling module in order to send the control signal in response to the specific testing module, enable signal controlling means for instructing the testing module to generate and supply an enable signal to the controlling module supplying the control signal to the testing module, and setting means for setting a specific controlling module of the controlling modules to supply the control signal in response to the specific testing module to t

Abstract: An examining method is provided to expedite customs clearance procedures including authenticity verification of brand-name products. A writing apparatus of a company manufacturing or selling brand-name products sends information encoded using an encoding key to an ID tag assigned to the products. The ID tag stores the encoded information. An examining apparatus of an official responsible for examining the authenticity of the products receives the information from the ID tag and decodes the information using a decoding key. The decoded data and a pre-stored company code are compared to determine whether a match is found. If the products are authentic and an export license is granted, an employee of a shipping company encodes the information described in a bill of lading (B/L) and stores the encoded information in the ID tag. The B/L information is read from the ID tag and is decoded using a decoding key.

Abstract: An analog-digital hybrid IC test system which is equipped with a logic test system and an analog test system and controls both of them by a main program, and in which the main program has a pattern generation program for a logic test and a description for generating a control signal for the analog test system is added to part of the pattern generation program.
