20100213993Phase Locked Oscillator And Radar Unit Having The Same - An error detecting unit of a phase-locked oscillator evaluates difference between a reference phase error signal output from a phase detector and a phase error signal actually output from the phase detector when a reference frequency modulation signal is output from a voltage-controlled oscillator and further detects a frequency error of the frequency modulation signal from the voltage-controlled oscillator based on a rate of change of the difference. A correction unit of the phase-locked oscillator calculates an average value of the frequency error in a predetermined section of the frequency modulation signal and corrects center frequency of the frequency modulation signal by correcting the average value to be zero, and changes the rate of change of control voltage per control step based on comparison between at least two frequency errors in one cycle of the frequency modulation signal.

20130074533AIR-CONDITIONING SYSTEM - According to one embodiment, an air conditioning system includes a compressor, a condenser, an expansion valve, a switching valve, an evaporator, a pump, a radiator, and a heat storage unit. The switching valve performs switching so that a first heat medium flows through either a first flow path or a second flow path. The pump supplies a second heat medium to the heat source. The heat storage unit has a heat storage material. The heat storage unit has a first heat exchange region in which heat is exchanged between the first heat medium flowing through the first flow path and the heat storage material. The heat storage unit has a second heat exchange region which is provided upstream of the radiator and in which heat is exchanged between the second heat medium supplied to the heat source and the heat storage material.03-28-2013

20090214400PLASMA PROCESSING APPARATUS - Provided is a plasma processing apparatus capable of generating a uniform plasma by preventing a nonuniformity of a current flow in a slot antenna. A dielectric plate is disposed to close a top opening of a plate cover and a slot antenna for generating plasma is disposed on the dielectric plate. By allowing an outer periphery of the slot antenna to make direct contact with an inner wall portion of the plate cover by using a conductive member having elasticity, when a microwave is supplied to slot antenna, it is possible to make an electrical resistance between the inner wall portion of the processing vessel and the outer periphery of the flat plate antenna substantially the same at any point in the entire circumference of the processing vessel, so that magnitude of the microwave current flowing in the slot antenna can be made approximately the same.08-27-2009

20110092175MOBILE COMMUNICATION APPARATUS - A transceiver suitable for larger scale of integration employs direct conversion reception for reducing the number of filters. Also, the number of VCOs is reduced by utilizing dividers to supply a receiver and a transmitter with locally oscillated signals at an RF band. Dividers each having a fixed division ratio are used for generating locally oscillated signals for the receiver, while a divider having a switchable division ratio are used for generating the locally oscillated signal for the transmitter. In addition, a variable gain amplifier for baseband signal is provided with a DC offset voltage detector and a DC offset canceling circuit for supporting high speed data communications to accomplish fast cancellation of a DC offset by eliminating intervention of a filter within a feedback loop for offset cancellation.04-21-2011
