| 20110210383 | IMAGING DEVICE - First diffusion region constituting a photodiode in each pixel stores carriers generated according to incident light. Second diffusion region is formed at a surface of the first diffusion region to cover a peripheral part of the first diffusion region. In the peripheral part of the first diffusion region, crystal defects tend to occur by a process of forming an isolation region and a gate electrode, so that dark current noise tends to occur. The second diffusion region functioning as a protection layer prevents crystal defects in a manufacturing process. The second diffusion region isn't formed on a center of the surface of the first diffusion region where crystal defects don't tend to occur. In the first diffusion region where the second diffusion region isn't formed, the thickness of a depletion layer increases, which improves light detection sensitivity. This improves detection sensitivity of the photodiode without increasing the dark current noise. | 09-01-2011 |

| 20100303233 | PACKET TRANSMITTING AND RECEIVING APPARATUS AND PACKET TRANSMITTING AND RECEIVING METHOD - When being triggered by a call setting request that has been made, dummy information that is different from information to be transmitted and is information used for creating a path on which encrypted communication is to be performed is generated. The path on which the encrypted communication is to be performed is established by using the generated dummy information. A responding process of responding to the call setting request is performed after the path on which the encrypted communication is to be performed has been established. Thus, in the case where information that is obtained after the responding process of responding to the call setting request is encrypted and transmitted, it is possible to transmit the information while maintaining the real-time characteristics of the information to be transmitted. | 12-02-2010 |
| 20110299386 | APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR SWITCHING BETWEEN REDUNDANT COMMUNICATION DEVICES - A packet is transmitted from a transmitting device to an active communication device which transmits a reception history identifying the received packets to the transmitting device. The transmitting device transmits an active-mode request message to a standby communication device when having failed to receive the reception history from the active communication device within a predetermined time period. Then, the standby communication device becomes a new active communication device, and the active communication device becomes an old active communication device. The new active communication device transmits to the transmitting device a switching request message for switching a destination of the packet from the old active communication device to the new active communication device. The transmitting device retransmits packets that have been transmitted from the transmitting device to the old active communication device and have failed to be received by the old active communication device, to the new active communication device. | 12-08-2011 |
