20090055541 | CONNECTION PARAMETER SETTING SYSTEM, METHOD THEREOF, ACCESS POINT, SERVER, WIRELESS TERMINAL, AND PARAMETER SETTING APPARATUS - An access point performing a communication with a wireless terminal performing a communication according to a predetermined wireless communication specification acquires a connection parameter required for a communication based on the predetermined wireless communication specification from a connection parameter server which can be connected thereto through a network. The access point sets an access point connection parameter in the access point itself. The wireless terminal acquires a wireless terminal connection parameter by using a communication method not requiring setting from the access point in advance and sets it in the wireless terminal itself. This completes the setting for performing a communication based on the predetermined wireless communication specification and it is possible to start a communication based on the predetermined wireless communication specification between the wireless and access point. Thus, it is possible to set a connection parameter for a wireless communication in the wireless terminal and access point without requiring a complicated setting work by a user. | 02-26-2009 |
20110169501 | DELAY CIRCUIT - A sub-delay element has the same configuration as that of a main delay element, and applies a delay τ that corresponds to a bias voltage to a selected clock signal output from a first selector. A phase detectorgenerates a phase detection signal that corresponds to the phase difference between a selected clock signal that has propagated through the sub-delay element and a selected clock signal that has propagated through a bypass path. A counter performs a count operation according to the phase detection signal. A D/A converter supplies a bias voltage that corresponds to the count value of the counter to the main delay element and the sub-delay element. An initialization unit instructs a DLL circuit to actually operate, and sets the reference voltage to be supplied to the D/A converter based upon the fluctuation in the count value of the counter. | 07-14-2011 |
