Abstract:
A MIMO transmitting apparatus wherein a low power consumption and a high performance can be achieved by taking the influence of variation in communication distance into account. In this apparatus, a low power consumption design part (701) selectively decides, based on the distance from the other end of communication, whether to perform a pre-coding. When deciding to perform the pre-coding, the low power consumption design part (701) instructs a modulating part (702) to perform a low-order QAM modulation, while instructing a pre-coding part (703) to perform a pre-coding. When instructed to perform a low-order QAM modulation, the modulating part (702) uses a low-order QAM modulation scheme to modulate an input information bit sequence. When instructed to perform a pre-coding, the pre-coding part (703) uses a pre-coding matrix to pre-process the input information bit sequence.
Abstract:
An IP device exchange apparatus includes: a connector that is connected to a first IP phone, a second IP phone, and a third IP phone; a memory for storing a coding scheme obtained by call setting which is negotiated between the first and second IP phones; and a controller that, when receiving a call instruction for call connection to the second IP phone from the third IP phone during communication between the first and second IP phones, employs the coding scheme stored in the memory to perform, between the third IP phone and the IP device exchange apparatus, call setting between the second and third IP phones, while maintaining call connection between the first and second IP phones, thereby changing the call connection between the first and second IP phones to call connection between the second and third IP phones.
Abstract:
A light receiver comprises a Fresnel lens for collecting light signals, and a light receiving element disposed closer to the Fresnel lens than the focal point of the Fresnel lens for receiving the light signals collected by the Fresnel lens. The Fresnel lens comprises a lens surface group having a plurality of lens surfaces, and a back cut surface group having a plurality of back cut surfaces connecting the lens surfaces. The back cut surfaces are inclined with respect to the center axis of the Fresnel lens. Thus, the light receiver has a high light collection efficiency of light signals incident within a certain acceptance angle.

Abstract:
At least a laminate of a gate insulating film 6 and a gate electrode 7 and an active region 13 are formed on a silicon substrate 1, and an underlying interlayer insulating film 10 is further formed. Then, a conductor 11a connected to the gate electrode 7, and a conductor 11b that is a dummy conductor and is connected to the active region 13 are formed simultaneously on the underlying interlayer insulating film 10. Thereafter, an interlayer insulating film 12 is formed on the underlying interlayer insulating film 10 by a plasma process. At this time, charging current from a plasma 14 is emitted through the conductor 11b, which is a dummy conductor.

A communication apparatus includes: a battery; a battery level detecting unit which detects a remaining battery level of the battery; a transmitting unit which transmits data; a wait time setting unit which determines an upper limit value from a minimum upper limit value to a maximum upper limit value for a random number generation range, generates a random number up to the upper limit value, and sets a wait time for transmitting the data on the basis of the random number; and a control unit which sets the minimum and maximum upper limit value for the random number generation range on the wait time setting unit. The control unit sets at least one of the minimum and maximum upper limit value in a different manner from a normal control time in case that the control unit receives data indicating that the remaining battery level is detected to be low.

Abstract:
The invention performs orthogonal frequency division multiplex processing on a transmission signal to form an OFDM modulation signal (daubed in FIG.) and performs orthogonal frequency division multiplex processing and code division multiple access processing on a transmission signal to form an OFDM-CDM modulation signal (shaded in FIG.) to transmit the OFDM modulation signal and the OFDM-CDM modulation signal, which makes it possible to transmit data in a very high rate using the OFDM modulation signal while making it possible to transmit data in a higher quality using the OFDM-CDM modulation signal than using the OFDM-modulation signal, although it is slightly inferior to OFDM modulation in terms of high rate transmission.
Abstract:
A multicarrier transmitter and receiver uses a first inverse fast Fourier transformer for performing an Inverse Fast Fourier Transform (IFFT) on a parallel input data signal, an imaginary component filter for filtering out the imaginary component of an output signal of the first transformer and a real component filter for filtering out the real component of the output signal of the first. The multicarrier transmitter and receiver also uses a first polyphase filter having real coefficients. The first filter accepts output data from the imaginary component filter. The multicarrier transmitter and receiver also uses a second polyphase filter having real coefficients which are selected as the real coefficients of the first filter with the sign of each odd-numbered real coefficient inverted. The second filter accepts output data from said real component filter. A combined OFDM and wavelet multi-carrier transceiver is proposed sharing an IFFT block.
Abstract:
In a confocal optical system provided with a light source 13, a first focusing means 14, a second focusing means 16, an aperture 17, and a detector 18, the detector has plural light reception regions. A position displacement is detected by detecting an intensity distribution of an image caused by a position displacement between the focusing spot of the second focusing means 16 and the aperture 17 by the detector 18, and the position displacement is corrected by controlling the aperture position using driving means 19 and control means 20. Also, a position displacement of the aperture 17 in the optical axis direction is detected and corrected on the basis of a change in output of the detector 18 by oscillating the aperture 17 in the optical axis direction.
