Publication number: 20140378135Abstract: This management server avoids inter-cell interference on mobile terminals even if a relay node (RN) accommodating the mobile terminals has moved. The management server determines the almost blank subframe (ABS) pattern and the application period of the ABS pattern of a macrocell to which an RN is to move to next on the basis of RN location information, speed information and direction of movement transmitted from the RN, and macrocell information that is to be retained, and transmits said information to the RN. On the basis of the information transmitted from the management server, the RN performs scheduling for user equipment (UE) that is undergoing interference.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 28, 2012Publication date: December 25, 2014Applicant: PANASONIC CORPORATIONInventor: Yasuo Koide

Patent number: 8808560Abstract: The utilization of single crystal diamond in a nano- or micro-machine (N/MEMS) device is difficult, and there has been no report on such utilization. The reason for this resides in that it is difficult to grow single crystal diamond on an oxide which is a sacrifice layer. In a conventional technique, a cantilever or the like is produced by forming polycrystalline diamond or nanodiamond on an oxide as a sacrifice layer, but the mechanical performance, vibration characteristics, stability, and reproducibility of the produced cantilever or the like are unsatisfactory. In the present invention, utilizing the fact that the high concentration ion-implanted region in a diamond substrate 101 is modified into graphite, the layer 104 modified into graphite as a sacrifice layer is removed by electrochemical etching to obtain the diamond layer remaining on the resultant substrate as a movable structure. The produced cantilever 106 exhibited high frequency resonance.Type: GrantFiled: February 18, 2011Date of Patent: August 19, 2014Assignee: National Institute for Materials ScienceInventors: Meiyong Liao, Yasuo Koide, Shunichi Hishida
