| 20080268782 | Receiving device and communication system - A receiving device and a communication system wherein the frequency usage efficiency is raised to improve the communication throughput. The receiving device comprises a receiving unit that receives multicarrier signals in which a plurality of subcarriers are divided into a plurality of subcarrier blocks (frequency blocks) each including at least one subcarrier and in which signals to be transmitted to receiving devices are allocated on a subcarrier block basis; an estimating unit that estimates, for each of the subcarrier blocks, quality values indicative of the reception statuses of the signals allocated to the plurality of subcarrier blocks; and a notifying unit that notifies a transmitting device of information indicative of a high quality subcarrier block having a high quality value in the quality values, a quality value in the high quality subcarrier block, and an interval of the subcarrier blocks having the quality value of which a difference from the quality value in the high-quality subcarrier block falls within a predetermined threshold value. | 10-30-2008 |
| 20100124299 | METHOD FOR MIMO DECODING, APPARATUS FOR MIMO DECODING, AND MIMO RECEIVER - There is provided a method for MIMO decoding, based on a channel estimated value between a plurality of transmitting antennas and a plurality of receiving antennas, a received signal received by the plurality of receiving antennas, including: in obtaining a unitary matrix Q and a triangular matrix R through QR decomposition of a channel estimated value matrix H, creating the triangular matrix R such that a sum of scalars of non-diagonal elements of the triangular matrix R is the minimum; and estimating a signal transmitted from the plurality of transmitting antennas through the use of the created triangular matrix R, the unitary matrix Q, and the received signal received by the plurality of receiving antennas. | 05-20-2010 |
| 20110075743 | RECEIVER, COMMUNICATION SYSTEM, AND CHANNEL ESTIMATION METHOD - A receiver includes a channel estimation unit that calculates channel estimation values of symbols containing pilot signals from signals transmitted by a plurality of antennas to obtain channel estimation values of symbols in the same positions of the antennas, a de-precoding unit that de-precodes the channel estimation values of the antennas calculated by the channel estimation unit to calculate effective channel estimation values, and a time-direction interpolation unit that performs time-direction interpolation using the effective channel estimation values calculated by the de-precoding unit to calculate effective channel estimation values of symbols other than the symbols containing pilot signals. | 03-31-2011 |

| 20080303364 | Driving Force Transmission Mechanism, Image Forming Apparatus and Assembling Method Thereof - To provide a driving force transmission mechanism in which the thickness can be reduced as well as the positioning between a driven shaft and driven, and a motor shaft of a motor is easy. The driving force transmission mechanism of the invention comprises a plate through which a reference hole is pierced, a driven shaft vertically standing with respect to an inner surface on the side of the inner surface of the plate, a driven gear pivotally provided around the driven shaft, a bracket fixed to the plate so as to cover the reference hole on the side of the inner surface of the plate, and a stepping motor protruding a motor shaft toward the reference hole, being fixed to the bracket. The motor shaft is positioned through the reference hole with driving tooth formed at the motor shaft to be directly engaged with the driven gear. | 12-11-2008 |
| 20090269113 | Image Forming Apparatus - An image forming apparatus includes an image forming unit including an image carrier carrying a developer image to form an image by transferring the developer image onto a recording sheet at an image forming position, a recording sheet accommodating unit, a feeding path, a conveyance roller provided in the feeding path for conveying the recording sheet to the image forming position, a discharge path that guides the recording sheet to an outside, a discharge roller being rotatable normally and reversely and discharging the recording sheet to the outside by rotating normally, and a reverse feeding path, by which the recording sheet is guided when the discharge roller reversely rotates, and which reverses the recording sheet so as to guide the recording sheet to be joined again with the feeding path. The reverse feeding path is joined with the feeding path between the image carrier and the conveyance roller. | 10-29-2009 |
