Abstract:
A wireless communication apparatus is provided. The wireless communication apparatus includes: detection means that detects that there is another wireless communication apparatus around the wireless communication apparatus; comparison means that compares a first reference value managed in the wireless communication apparatus with a second reference value managed in the another wireless communication apparatus; means that corrects the first reference value based on the comparison result; and means that announces the first reference value to the another wireless communication apparatus. Frequencies are set such that a frequency of the wireless communication apparatus becomes same as a frequency of still another wireless communication apparatus to which a radio wave of the wireless communication apparatus does not reach but a radio wave of the another wireless communication apparatus reaches.
Abstract:
A semiconductor memory device comprises: a write circuit including a latch circuit configured by two inverters having a positive side power supply terminal supplied with a first voltage and a negative side power supply terminal supplied with a second voltage; and a write state machine controlling the first and second voltages. When writing data to a memory cell, the first voltage is changed to a second value that is lower than a first value. When writing data to a memory cell, the second voltage is changed to a third value that is lower than the second value. The write state machine lowers the second voltage to an intermediate value between the second value and the third value and, while maintaining this intermediate value, lowers the first voltage from the first value to the second value.
Abstract:
The object is to control interference in a permissible range by applying the CDMA system to signal collision in the conventional CSMA and TDMA base multihop systems and to relax the hidden terminal problem and others to enhance the throughput of the entire system by grouping of channel groups in multihop transmission and by control of transmission based on an interference level from another station. A multihop relay station calculates a desired signal level, for example, from an interference level at its own station of a packet sent from a mobile station, and notifies the mobile station of the desired signal level; and the mobile station calculates a transmission power amount of a packet from the desired signal level, determines whether the packet is transmissible to the station as a source of the desired signal level, and transmits the packet to the source station determined as a packet-transmissible station.

A semiconductor chip is attached to a lead frame with a filmy organic die-bonding material having a water absorption of 1.5% by volume or less; having a saturation moisture absorption of 1.0% by volume or less, having a residual volatile component in an amount not more than 3.0% by weight, having a modulus of elasticity of 10 MPa or less at a temperature of 250° C. The semiconductor device thus obtained can be free from occurrence of reflow cracks during reflow soldering for the packaging of semiconductor devices.
Abstract:
In a wireless packet transmission system that includes multiple wireless basestations and one or more wireless terminals belonging to one of the wireless basestations, transmission trees extending from two or more wireless basestations as root stations are used. Each of the wireless basestations has a tree table configured to record the root stations in association with the ID information about the transmission trees. When receiving a packet, each of the wireless basestations determines the transmission tree to be used for the packet transmission, and transmits the packet to a next node along the determined transmission tree.
Abstract:
A wireless communications apparatus used in a wireless communications network consisting of multiple wireless communications apparatuses mutually connected via wireless links includes (a) a buffer configured to temporarily store information received from an adjacent wireless communications apparatus or a user terminal located under the wireless communications apparatus; (b) a routing control information processing unit that estimates a node cost representing traffic at the wireless communications apparatus and a link cost representing a radio condition of the link to determine a transmission route based on cost information reflecting both the node cost and the link cost; and (c) a routing control unit that designates a next hop to which information accumulated in the buffer is to be transmitted according to the determined transmission route.
Abstract:
Production of hollow carbon fibers and hollow carbon particles includes baking and carbonization of polymer particles having a specified volume after deformation. A metal-deposited carbon fiber with metal deposited inside and/or outside the hollow carbon fiber is applicable to electron discharge devices. The thickness and crystallinity of the graphite layer can be freely controlled. Since almost no by-product is generated, separation and refining using a solvent is not required. A hollow carbon particle of desired shape can be produced at a high yield rate. The hollow carbon fiber represented by a carbon nano-tube can be controlled in such a way that a low resistance and uniform shape are provided so that there is an increase in the amount of electrons discharged from the hollow carbon fiber. Use of this hollow carbon fiber as an electron discharge source provides an excellent electron discharge device characterized by stable pixels.
Abstract:
An electrically conductive bonding film useful in bonding an IC or LSI with a lead frame. The film comprises (A) a polyimide resin obtained by reacting a tetracarboxylic dianhydride component, in which the content of a tetracarboxylic dianhydride represented by the following formula (I): ##STR1## wherein n stands for an integer of 2-20 amounts to at least 70 mole %, with a diamine; and (B) an electrically conductive filler. Optionally, the film may further comprises a thermosetting resin or an imide compound having at least two thermally-crosslinking imido groups per molecule.
Abstract:
A process for welding a pair of thermoplastic workpieces by hot gas ejecting, which includes the steps of (a) positioning a pair of works to be welded in opposed relation with each other, (b) positioning heat blast nozzles between the works, (c) ejecting heat blast from the nozzles to the opposed surfaces of the works, (d) retracting the nozzles from the position between the works (e) advancing one of the works to be in pressure contact with the other, and (f) pressurizing the two works for firmly combining the two.
Abstract:
A process for forming a decorative trim strip by extruding a thermoplastic material around a continuous length of metal strip. The thermoplastic material is shaped with longitudinal grooves and when the strip is bent along the groove, the thermoplastic material on opposite sides of the grooves comes into contact. The strip is heated and the thermoplastic material in contact fuses to essentially eliminate the grooves.
