  • Publication number: 20100061305
    Abstract: A mobile radio terminal includes a radio transmission/reception unit and a control unit. The radio transmission/reception unit uses a radio signal to perform transmission and reception to and from a base station belonging to a circuit switching network, and also uses a radio signal to perform transmission and reception to and from a base station belonging to a mobile communication network. The mobile communication network is connected to the circuit switching network and forms an integrated communication network together with the circuit switching network. When the mobile radio terminal is on standby in a base station belonging to the mobile communication network, the control unit activates the radio transmission/reception unit and controls the radio transmission/reception unit so as to maintain synchronization with a base station belonging to the circuit switching network.

  • Patent number: 7501778
    Abstract: A robot control device includes an operation mode change-over switch for switching between a first operation mode for prohibiting an operator from approaching a predetermined area around a robot when power is supplied to a drive motor for driving the robot and a second operation mode for allowing the operator to approach the predetermined area around the robot even when power is supplied to the drive motor, and an electromagnetic contactor for switching the connection and disconnection of the power supply line to the drive motor. The robot can be stopped in case of emergency by using the electromagnetic contactor to disconnect the power supply line. The apparatus further includes an emergency stop control unit. The emergency stop control unit issues a disconnection command to the electromagnetic contactor, when the switching between the first and second operation modes is sensed, and automatically confirms whether or not the power supply line is disconnected.

  • Publication number: 20080311854
    Abstract: In sequence S3, a mobile station measures a transmission path quality. In sequence S4, the mobile station decodes resource blocks allocated by a base station and executes CRC decision based on CRC bits. In sequence S6, the base station selects a transmission format on the basis of CQI received from the mobile station and allocates the resource blocks. In sequence S7, the mobile station receives a result of the CRC decision. In sequence S8, the base station executes an allocation correcting process of obtaining a rate of success S in receiving the resource blocks on the basis of the result of the CRC decision, and reviewing and reselecting the transmission format selected in the allocating process of the sequence S6 on the basis of the rate of success S.

  • Patent number: 7221119
    Abstract: In a case in which an operation is alternately carried out by apparatus-1 and the apparatus-2 in cooperation with a robot, an operator carries out operation within an operation range of each of the apparatuses during the interruption of power supply to the apparatus-1 and the apparatus-2. Even if the operator approaches or enters the apparatus-1 or the apparatus-2, an emergency stop unit is not informed of a notice of such approach or entry as far as the interruption of power to the apparatus is confirmed. In a state in which the interruption of power is not confirmed, on the other hand, the emergency stop unit is informed of the notice of operator's approach or entry, and the robot system is emergency stopped.
