Patent number: 8447047Abstract: An information processing apparatus includes a jack, a noise-canceling adjustment section, a signal superposition section, an inter-device universal communication bus, and a control section. The jack is connectable with a plug of a headphone including a microphone, outputs a first signal to the headphone, and inputs a second signal from the microphone. The noise-canceling adjustment section generates and outputs, based on the second signal input from the jack, a third signal that cancels a noise component around the headphone. The signal superposition section superposes the third signal on the first signal output from the jack. The control section controls the noise-canceling adjustment section via the inter-device universal communication bus.Type: GrantFiled: August 19, 2009Date of Patent: May 21, 2013Assignee: Sony CorporationInventors: Hideto Saraoka, Takashi Sato, Yasutaka Fujii, Tomoyuki Wada, Yukimasa Kuwahara

Publication number: 20050052821Abstract: A variable capacitance element includes a coplanar line or signal conduction and a movable body, which are vertically displaced through a supporting bar and which are provided on a substrate. A movable electrode is provided between a first driving electrode and second and third driving electrodes which are movable electrodes. Voltage is applied between the movable electrodes, such that one of the movable electrodes is pressed against the coplanar line through a dielectric film. Thus, high frequency signals conducting through the coplanar line are shut off. When voltage is applied between the other electrodes, the movable electrode and the dielectric film are moved apart from the coplanar line. Thus, high frequency signals are conducted through the coplanar line.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 24, 2004Publication date: March 10, 2005Applicant: Murata Manufacturing Co., Ltd.Inventors: Yasutaka Fujii, Shinji Kobayashi, Hiroshi Kawai, Koji Takemura, Yoshihiro Konaka, Masato Kobayashi
