An optical transmission system transmits a Radio Frequency (RF) signal by a frequency division multiplexing method. The optical transmission system includes a Transmitter Optical SubAssembly (TOSA), an optical fiber, and a Receiver Optical SubAssembly (ROSA). The TOSA includes a surface emitting laser diode configured to be capable of emitting light at output of 0.8 mW or more.

Optical transmission system and electro-optical conversion device

According to one embodiment, a memory system includes a controller. The controller controls throttling to make a performance value of the memory system fall between a first performance value and a second performance value. The throttling limits the number of times of accesses per unit time to a nonvolatile memory. The first performance value is calculated based on a third performance value of the memory system and is greater than the third performance value. The third performance value is a value which is expected to be reached at a time when a first period has elapsed since the memory system started being used if throttling is not performed. The second performance value is provided between the first performance value and the third performance value.

Memory system and controlling method

There is provided a communicating, at a first network access point, with a core network entity using a user plane protocol, said communicating comprising receiving user data from the core network entity on a first bearer, the first bearer capable of being split with a second network access point such that at least some of the user data is provided to the second network access point, the first network access point and the second network access point configured to communicate wirelessly with a plurality of user equipments, and wherein the first network access point does not communicate with the core network using a control plane protocol associated with the first bearer.

A switching circuit includes: a drive power supply; a first transistor and a second transistor; a drive signal source; and a drive circuit. Each of the first transistor and the second transistor includes: a drain electrode and a source electrode in which a main current flows when a corresponding one of the first transistor and the second transistor is ON; a first source terminal for passing the main current; and a second source terminal.

An image decoding device is provided that decodes, without an increase in the circuit size, a coded video sequence including a large-size block. The image decoding apparatus includes: a block division unit which divides a current block that is to be decoded and is included in a picture of the coded video sequence, into sub-blocks; an image obtainment unit which obtains, for each of the sub-blocks, image data corresponding to the sub-block from a recording medium; a prediction unit which generates, for each of the sub-blocks, a predicted image of the sub-block, based on the image data obtained by the image obtainment unit; and a reconstruction unit which reconstructs each of the sub-blocks, by adding the predicted image generated for the sub-block to the sub-block.

Image decoding apparatus, image decoding method, integrated circuit, and program

With use of a simplified program or calculating device for motion compensation, a video decoding device decodes video data compressed by motion detection operations on macroblock units, as in the MPEG-4AVC standard. The video decoding device splits compressed data blocks of the prescribed size, 16&#xd7;16 pixels for instance, to generate sub-blocks, which are smaller than the blocks and on which the video decoding device is able to execute motion compensation operations. The video decoding device duplicates a motion vector assigned to a given block to generate an many motion vectors as there are sub-blocks in the given block, and executes motion compensation on each sub-block using the corresponding duplicate motion vector. Data resulting from the motion compensation operation on each sub-block is combined to obtain a target block corresponding to the given block.

A rotor core includes a laminated steel body including a plurality of magnetic core plates stacked one above another. The core plates extend in a direction perpendicular or substantially perpendicular to a vertical center axis. The rotor core includes a plurality of magnetic pole portions arranged along a circumferential direction. At least some of the core plates include claws protruding from the magnetic pole portions in the circumferential direction and outer connection portions arranged radially outward of the claws to interconnect the magnetic pole portions adjoining to each other. The claws restrain the magnets from being displaced radially outward by centrifugal forces. In addition, the outer connection portions restrain the rotor core from being deformed by centrifugal forces. The outer connection portions restrain the claws from being displaced by centrifugal forces so as to further restrain displacement of the magnets.
