  • Publication number: 20130015784
    Abstract: An illumination light communication device includes a light source unit including light emitting elements; a power supply unit controlling a load current flowing through the light source unit to be maintained at a constant; a switch element connected in series to the light source unit; and a control unit configured to control on/off of the switch element to modulate a light intensity of illumination light from the light source unit such that a binary communication signal is superimposed on the illumination light. The control unit has a switching circuit to open/close a path between the light source unit and the power supply unit, controls on/off of the switching circuit based on a dimming signal to perform a dimming control on the light source unit by a PWM control, and allows the communication signal to be superimposed on the illumination light in synchronization with an ON time of the switching circuit.

  • Patent number: 8348639
    Abstract: A high performance sealing device having an excellent pressure resistance and realizing a prevention of damage. The sealing device usable at a working pressure of 0 to 2 MPa, and not damaged even if the pressure of high-pressure fuel of 5 MPa or higher is applied thereto, wherein high pressure fuel on the high pressure side is sealed by a first seal part, oil from a cam side on a low pressure side is sealed by a second seal part, and the fuel slightly leaked due to failure of scraping at the first seal part is sealed by the second seal part to form a dual seal structure. A resin ring coming into slidable sealing contact with a shaft is used in the first seal part, whereby abnormal abrasion does not occur even when fuel having less lubricity is used, and the durability of the seal is increased.

    Abstract: According to one embodiment, an apparatus for encoding and decoding includes an encoder configured to generate integrated parity data for data obtained by combining first data with second data. The encoder includes a first generator, a second generator, and a third generator. The first generator generates parity data for the first data using a first check matrix with a predetermined regularity. The second generator generates parity data for the second data using a second check matrix with a regularity that is exclusive and different from the first check matrix. The third generator generates the integrated parity data by integrating the parity data generated by the first generator with the parity data generated by the second generator.

  • Patent number: 7942423
    Abstract: A resin lip type seal (1) capable of increasing safety against rupture by reducing rigidity of a plate-like lip (4) bent around a tip point A of a approximately wedge-shaped recessed part (8) to reduce stress concentration at the point A, suppressing the lowering of sealability due to a reduction in creep of the lip, and increasing the follow-up capability of the lip to the eccentricity of its axis. Indentations are formed on the slidable contact surface (41) of the plate-like lip (4) or/and the anti-slidable contact surface (42) thereof. Indentations (7) are also formed on the sloped slidable contact surface (21) of the inner lip (2) of the seal. Then, the ratio of the portion of each of the slidable contact surfaces where the indentations (7) are formed is ½ or more of each of the surface areas of the slidable contact surfaces (21, 41, 42).
