20090052410 | MOBILE COMMUNICATION SYSTEM, EDGE ROUTER, AND TRANSFER CONTROL METHOD, PROGRAM AND RECORDING MEDIUM USED THEREFOR - The present invention aims to provide continuous communication, between mobile terminal, based on edge mobility technology, during hand over a mobile terminal, even if addresses of edge routers before/after movement of the mobile terminal may not be acquired from the mobile terminal. It is configured so that when the mobile terminal moves, it becomes connected to the edge router and a CN information request command is transmitted to a home agent. The home agent manages a care-of address corresponding to a home address of the mobile terminal and transmits the CN information request command to this care-of address, which corresponds to the edge router before the mobile terminal moves, and the edge router manages a care-of address of a communication partner of the mobile terminal. Therefore, the care-of address of the communication partner of the mobile terminal can be acquired. | 02-26-2009 |
20090102964 | LIGHT EMITTING DEVICE, CAMERA WITH LIGHT EMITTING DEVICE, AND IMAGE PICKUP METHOD - A camera comprises a lens and an LED array at its front. The LED array is composed of red, green and blue LEDs, which are individually turned on and off for light emitting purposes, as well as changeable in their quantities of red, green and blue lights to be emitted under control of an MPU. Thus, the LED array is capable of emitting light having any color having a different brightness by controlling the respective quantities of red, green and blue lights to be emitted by the corresponding LEDs. That is, the camera is capable of irradiating an object with light having a desired color for image pickup. | 04-23-2009 |
20130057834 | LENS ARRAY, LIGHT SOURCE DEVICE, PROJECTOR AND LIGHT SOURCE DEVICE FABRICATION METHOD - A lens array which facilitates the alignment of optical axes of light source elements with optical axes of lenses, a light source device that employs this lens array, a projector that employs this light source device and a light source device fabrication method are provided. A lens array | 03-07-2013 |
