To provide an antenna capable of accelerating beamforming. The antenna includes a metasurface with an opening part that receives electromagnetic waves and a MEMS mechanism configured to change a shape of the opening part by operating a moveable member with respect to the opening part of the metasurface.

Antenna and beam forming method

Provided is a display antenna including a display including a plurality of light emitters arranged in a grid, an antenna array having an antenna assembly in which a plurality of patch antennas through which light in a wavelength band of a visible region is transmitted is disposed in a grid, the antenna array being disposed to be superimposed on the display, and a phase shifter disposed in a gap region sandwiched between the plurality of light emitters, connected to at least one of the plurality of patch antennas, and configured to shift a signal to be transmitted and received.

Display antenna

Provided is an antenna device including an antenna array including a plurality of patch antennas arrayed in a grid, a first switch group including a first switch disposed on a wiring line connecting two adjacent patch antennas, and a second switch group including a second switch disposed on a wiring line between an antenna assembly formed by at least four adjacent patch antennas and a signal source connected to at least one patch antenna constituting the antenna assembly.

Antenna device and display antenna

A processor () in a wireless terminal () executes a communication service application to thereby perform an operation as a client for using a communication service. Further, in an abnormal situation where the wireless terminal () cannot access a server system () of an operator of the communication service, the processor () executes a predetermined activation procedure in the wireless terminal () without passing through the server system () to thereby activate a special account in the wireless terminal (). This makes it possible, for example, to perform communication by the special account using an online service application installed in the wireless terminal during an abnormal situation where the wireless terminal cannot access the online service server.

Wireless terminal and method for messaging

A node in a DTN includes: a memory; and a processor coupled to the memory and configured to execute data transfer processing for the DTN, wherein the data transfer processing including: receiving a plurality of bundles to be transferred to a same destination node on the DTN, each of the plurality of bundles including any one of a plurality of data segments acquired by dividing data of a content; deleting a part of the bundles from among the plurality of bundles without transferring to any other node or compressing a data size of a payload of the part of the bundles in accordance with a communication status of the DTN; and transmitting either a rest of the bundles excluding the deleted part of the bundles or the plurality of bundles including the part of the bundles having the compressed payloads to the DTN for transmitting to the destination node.

Apparatus and method for data delivery in delay-tolerant network (DTN)

A processor () implemented in a wireless terminal () is configured to perform gateway processing by executing a first application program () stored in a memory (). The gateway processing includes: (a) receiving transmission data of other application programs (-); (b) selecting, from a plurality of communication interfaces (-), at least one communication interface to which the transmission data is to be transmitted; and (c) sending the transmission data to the selected at least one communication interface. This contributes, for example, to allowing an application program to easily communicate via a communication interface (i.e., communication path) conforming to a communication protocol that is additionally installed on a wireless terminal (e.g., smartphone).

Wireless terminal, computer readable medium storing application program, and method

A radio wave jamming system () comprises a plurality of radio transmitters () that are adapted to transmit respective jamming signals () including substantially the same frequency. The plurality of radio transmitters () are further adapted to temporally change at least one of the transmission phases of the jamming signals (), which are to be transmitted from the plurality of radio transmitters (), so as to temporally change the phase differences among the jamming signals () when the jamming signals () transmitted from the plurality of radio transmitters () arrive at a particular site (). Thus, for example, a radio wave jamming system that can be constituted by small-output radio devices can be provided.
