問１．次の英文クレームを日本語に訳しなさい。

1. A transmission controller for processing data items to be transmitted overa wireless link connecting a central terminal and a subscriber terminal of awireless telecommunications system, a single frequency channel being employed
for transmitting data items pertaining to a plurality of wireless links, thetransmission controller comprising:an orthogonal code generator for providing an orthogonal code from a
set of 'm' orthogonal codes used to create 'm' orthogonal channels within the
single frequency channel;
a first encoder for combining a data item to be transmitted on the
single frequency channel with said orthogonal code from the orthogonal code
generator, the orthogonal code determining the orthogonal channel over which
the data item is transmitted, so that data items pertaining to different
wireless links may be transmitted simultaneously within different orthogonal
channels of said single frequency channel; anda TDM encoder arranged to apply time division multiplexing techniques

to the data item in order to insert the data item within a time slot of theorthogonal channel, so that a plurality of data items relating to different
wireless links may be transmitted within the same orthogonal channel during apredetermined frame period.

問２．次の英文を日本語に訳しなさい。

Energy or power may be transferred wirelessly using a variety of known
radiative, or far-field, and non-radiative, or near-field, techniques. For
example, radiative wireless information transfer using low-directionality
antennas, such as those used in radio and cellular communications systems andhome computer networks, may be considered wireless energy transfer. However,this type of radiative transfer is very inefficient because only a tiny
portion of the supplied or radiated power is picked up. The vast majority ofthe power is radiated away in all the other directions and is lost in freespace. Such inefficient power transfer may be acceptable for data transmission
but is not practical for transferring useful amounts of electrical energy forthe purpose of doing work, such as for powering or charging electrical devices.
One way to improve the transfer efficiency of some radiative energy
transfer schemes is to use directional antennas to confine and preferentiallydirect the radiated energy towards a receiver. However, these directedradiation schemes may require potentially complicated tracking and steering
mechanisms in the case of mobile transmitters and/or receivers. In addition,such schemes may pose hazards to objects or people that cross or intersect thebeam when modest to high amounts of power are being transmitted.
A need exists for a wireless power transfer scheme that is capable oftransferring useful amounts of electrical power over mid-range distances oralignment offsets. Such a wireless power transfer scheme should enable usefulenergy transfer over greater distances and alignment offsets than thoserealized with traditional induction schemes, but without the limitations andrisks inherent in radiative transmission schemes.

問３．次の実施例の**から##までの部分を、図面を参照しつつ日本語に訳しなさい。

As shown in FIG. 1, a dispenser includes an outlet housing 110, anoutlet 120, and a support 130. The outlet housing 110 provides a supporting
structure for the outlet 120 and secures the outlet 120 at a position thatenables a user to conveniently place a container proximate to (e.g., under)
the outlet 120 for dispensing the contents through the outlet 120 and into thecontainer. The outlet housing 110 also may secure a chute or tube thatdelivers the contents from a content source to the outlet 120 and further may
define an upper portion of a dispensing space or cavity that is configured toreceive or accommodate a container to be filled by the dispenser. The
dispensing space or cavity may be defined in a wall or door of an appliance or
may be defined as a space exterior to a wall or door of an appliance. Theoutlet housing 110 may be fixed at a wall or door of an appliance such thatthe outlet housing 110 defines at least a portion of a space within the wallor door of the appliance, the outlet housing 110 may be movable from theinterior of a wall or door of an appliance to the exterior of the wall or doorof the appliance, or the outlet housing 110 may be positioned and attached toan appliance to remain at the exterior of a wall or door of the appliance.
The outlet 120 defines an output flow path of the contents being
dispensed from the dispenser. For instance, the dispenser includes a tube orchute that guides the contents to the outlet 120, and the outlet 120 guides
the contents to the exterior of the dispenser to be received by a container.
The support 130 is a tray or container support that supports acontainer to be filled with the contents using the dispenser. The support 130
may be positioned under the outlet 120 and may support a container to be filledwith the contents dispensed through the outlet 120.
A container 140 may be any type of receptacle (e.g., a cup, a glass,etc.) that is able to receive the contents dispensed from the dispenser.
The dispenser directs a beam of light 210 along an output flow path ofthe outlet 120 in response to the container 140 being moved to a position thatis closer to the outlet 120. For example, the dispenser may direct the beam oflight 210 along the output flow path of the outlet 120 in response to sensor
data that detects objects (e.g., containers) entering an area proximate to theoutlet 120. In this example, the dispenser may direct the beam of light 210
in response to a sensor detecting the container 140 entering a dispensing area
or cavity defined by the outlet housing 110 and the support 130. The beam oflight 210 may be directed along the output flow path of the outlet 120 toassist a user in moving the container 140 to a position at which the contents
dispensed through the outlet 120 are received within the container 140.
FIG. 2 illustrates an example of a process 1500 for directing a beamof light along at least a portion of an output flow path of a dispenser inresponse to a user input command related to dispensing. The operations of theprocess 1500 are described generally as being performed by a system 500, which
is not shown in FIGs. 1 and 2. The operations of the process 1500 may be
performed by any combination of the components of the system 500. In someimplementations, the operations of the process 1500 may be performed by one ormore processors included in one or more electronic devices.
The system 500 receives a first user input command to set a particularquantity of contents to dispense from a dispenser (1510). For instance, thesystem 500 may receive a signal from an input button pressed by a user. Theinput button may be a measured fill input button that controls the system 500
to set a particular quantity of contents to dispense. The system 500 also mayreceive one or more user input actions to set or adjust the particularquantity of contents to dispense. The system 500 may receive the first user
input command using the input unit 530.
In response to the first user input command, the system 500 directs abeam of light along at least a portion of an output flow path of the dispenser(1520).
The system 500 monitors for a second user input command to cause thedispenser to dispense the particular quantity of the contents (1530). For
instance, the system 500 may wait for the second user input command and may
track user input commands provided by a user subsequent to a first user input
command. The system 500 also may track a time from when the first user input
command was received while monitoring for a second user input command.
The system 500 determines whether a second user input command for
causing the dispenser to dispense the particular quantity of the contents isreceived based on the monitoring (1540). For example, the system 500
determines whether a signal from an input button pressed by a user has beenreceived. The input button may be a dispense or fill input button that
controls the system 500 to dispense the contents.

**In response to a determination that the second user input command tocause the dispenser to dispense the particular quantity of the contents has
been received, the system 500 dispenses the particular quantity of the contents(1550) and turns off the beam of light (1560). For example, the controller
560 may control the dispenser 550 to dispense the contents (e.g., water) andmay control the optical system 520 to turn off the beam of light. The system
500 may turn off the beam of light while dispensing the contents or may wait
until all of the particular quantity of the contents has been dispensed priorto turning off the beam of light.
In response to a determination that the second user input command tocause the dispenser to dispense the particular quantity of the contents has
not been received, the system 500 determines whether a threshold period oftime has passed since receipt of the first user input command (1570).
The system 500 may compare a time from when the first user input command wasreceived to a threshold amount of time and make the determination based on thecomparison. The threshold amount of time may be set to a time by which a user
typically would have caused the dispenser to dispense the particular quantityof the contents after providing the user input command to set the particularquantity of the contents. For instance, the threshold amount of time may be
set to thirty seconds or one minute.

##
In response to a determination that the threshold period of time has
passed since receipt of the first user input command, the system 500 turns off
the beam of light (1580). For example, the controller 560 may control theoptical system 520 to turn off the beam of light. The system 500 may turn off
the beam of light after a threshold period of time has passed to conserve power
when it is unlikely the user is using the beam of light to position a container.
In response to a determination that the threshold period of time has
not passed since receipt of the first user input command, the system 500
continues to monitor for a second user input command to cause the dispenser todispense the particular quantity of the contents.
