Patent EP-1283603-A2 (EP)
Inventor: ONO YASUSHI
IPC: H04B7/08
Filed: 2002-07-25
Abstract: An antenna switching apparatus which detects an antenna of
good reception with high precision and suppresses control errors
in antenna switching. A comparator (15) compares a noise
component (Sn) obtained from a selected antenna with a threshold
(THD) for noise detection. When noise detection occurs a
predetermined number of times within a predetermined time, an
antenna switching control unit outputs an antenna switching
control signal to switch to another antenna. If all antennas are
switched within a predetermined time (Tchn), a noise switching
count analyzing unit (18) outputs a sensitivity control signal,
deciding that the threshold (THD) should be changed. A noise
detection sensitivity setting unit (19), when supplied with the
sensitivity control signal within a predetermined time ( τ ),
increases the threshold to lower the noise detection sensitivity
of the comparator (15). When the predetermined time ( τ ) elapses
without the sensitivity control signal (Sx) being supplied, the
noise detection sensitivity setting unit (19) decreases the
threshold (THD) to lower the noise detection sensitivity of the
comparator (15). The noise detection sensitivity is thus varied
and adjusted to the actual reception quality, whereby an antenna
of good reception is detected with high precision and control
errors in antenna switching are suppressed.

Abstract: First and second waveguides (1,2) which have respective axes thereof arranged
parallel to each other are respectively held by dielectric feeders (3,4). A projection
wall or a thick wall (34,35) is formed as a correction part on a front surface of a waterproof
cover (9) which covers radiation parts of the dielectric feeders (3,4). Due to such
a constitution, when radio waves transmitted from neighboring first and second
satellites (51,52) are converged by a reflector and are incident on the inside of
respective waveguides, it is possible to delay a phase of radio waves which
pass the waterproof cover (9) by the correction part (projection wall or thick wall) (34,35)
so that it is possible to adjust such that radiation patterns of radio waves which
are incident on the respective waveguides are reflected on a common portion
of the reflector whereby the required reflector can be miniaturized.

estimation of an uplink time slot; a transmit diversity
controller (14 1  to 14 N ) for controlling the transmit diversity
used for downlink time slots(DL#1 to DL#N) based on said channel
estimation and the number of users sharing the downlink time
slot when using a code division multiple system; a data
transmitter (15) for transmitting data via downlink time slots
(DL#1 to DL#N) using the controlled transmit diversity.

Abstract: A coil assembly (10) includes a spool (12) and a connector (14) keyed
thereto. To wind a coil (50) on the spool (12), the spool (12) is moved linearly
with respect to the connector (14) until the connector (14) does not interfere
with the winding bay (22) on the spool (12). Thereafter, a wire (48) is wound
around the spool (12) within the winding bay (22) to form the coil (50). Once
the coil (50) is complete, the spool (12) can be moved linearly with respect to
the connector (14) until a keying structure on the spool (12) engages an
opposing keying structure on the connector (14) and a locking mechanism on
the spool (12) engages a corresponding locking mechanism on the connector
(14). Thus, a complete coil assembly (10) can be manufactured in one
operation with minimal manufacturing steps.

Abstract: A laser annealing apparatus is provided in which
laser light is irradiated onto an amorphous semiconductor
layer placed inside an annealing chamber (100) through a
chamber window (120), thereby poly-crystallizing the
amorphous semiconductor film. Inside the annealing
chamber 100 a low degree vacuum (about 1.3 x 10 3  Pa to
about 1.3 Pa) is maintained at a room temperature. An
inert gas such as nitrogen, hydrogen, or argon is
introduced into the atmosphere while maintaining the low
degree vacuum. As a result, the surface smoothness of the
polycrystalline semiconductor layer is comparable to that
resulting from high degree vacuum annealing, while, unlike
high degree vacuum annealing, there is less contamination
of the chamber window (120) and productivity is improved.

Abstract: A slide fastener in which an insert pin (6a) and a box
pin (6b) of a separable bottom stop assembly (6) made of
synthetic resin are formed integrally along side edges of
fastener tapes (3, 3). The insert pin (6a) and the box pin (6b)
have peripheral shapes allowing themselves to be inserted into
element row guide grooves of a slider, and are molded integrally
such that the entire insert pin (6a) and the box pin (6b) incline
toward rear face sides of the respective tapes (3, 3) from their
inner side edges to outer side edges relative to tape planes
of the fastener, said rear face sides having no core threads
(4, 4) of the core portions (7, 7). Thus, resin layers having
substantially even thickness can be formed on both the front
and rear face sides of the core portions (7, 7) so that the resin
layers never peel away from rear surfaces of the fastener tapes
(3, 3), and the core portions (7, 7) and their peripheries never
become brittle.
