20100168966	SADDLE RIDING TYPE VEHICLE - A saddle riding type vehicle includes a balancer beam rotatably mounted on a vehicle body to cause a right wheel and a left wheel to move up and down in opposite directions, and is capable of making turns by leaning the vehicle body. The saddle riding type vehicle also includes a headlight, a drive mechanism arranged to rotate the headlight, a front detector arranged to detect a rotation angle of the balancer beam relative to the vehicle body, and a controller programmed to control the drive mechanism based on a result of detection by the front detector. The rotation angle detected by the front detector corresponds to an angle of the vehicle body leaning sideways relative to a traveling surface (relative lean angle). The controller controls the drive mechanism based on such result of detection by the front detector. The headlight can therefore illuminate directions of movement properly.	07-01-2010

20080260086	CARRIER SYNCHRONIZING CIRCUIT AND CARRIER SYNCHRONIZING METHOD - Disclosed herein is a carrier synchronizing circuit including at least frequency synchronizing means and phase synchronizing means. The phase synchronizing means includes residual frequency error detecting means for detecting a residual frequency error after a frequency synchronizing process by the frequency synchronizing means and supplying the residual frequency error to the frequency synchronizing means, and the frequency synchronizing means performs frequency pull-in for the residual frequency error supplied from the residual frequency error detecting means after first timing.	10-23-2008
20080270876	Decoding Apparatus, Decoding Method, and Decoding Program - A decoding apparatus includes a memory and a receiving unit and is adapted to decode data in units of codewords each including a parity part. The memory has a storage capacity capable of storing at least data with a length equal to the length of one codeword. The receiving unit receives, as received values, elements of a codeword in a bit-interleaved form, performs bit deinterleaving and parity permutating on the received values, and stores the resultant received values in the memory.	10-30-2008
