An image capturing device unit capable of reducing noise generated in image signals due to power supply. A pixel portion of an image capturing device has pixels arranged in a matrix in first and second directions perpendicular to each other. Output lines are arranged in parallel to the second direction, for reading out pixel signals in the second direction for each of groups of pixels arranged in the first direction. A power supply wiring is arranged on a substrate surface different from a surface on which the image capturing device is mounted and supplies power to the device, and includes a draw-out wiring portion arranged to be routed along the second direction in a pixel portion area which overlaps the pixel portion when the device is projected onto the substrate in a third direction perpendicular to the first and the second directions.

Reducing noise in an image capturing device, image capturing device unit, and image capturing apparatus

An image capturing apparatus comprises: an image capturing unit configured to generate image data; an adding unit configured to add additional information every predetermined amount of pixel data in the image data; a transmission unit configured to transmit image data by the amount of pixel data to which the additional information is added; an image processing unit configured to perform image processing on the image data; and a power control unit configured to control power supply when the transmission unit transmits the pixel data, based on the additional information, wherein the power control unit restricts the power supply to less than a predetermined power amount in a case where the additional information indicates a predetermined state, and performs power supply at the predetermined power amount in a case where the additional information does not indicate the predetermined state.

An image sensor includes a first semiconductor chip, a second semiconductor chip and connecting portions configured to connect the first semiconductor chip and the second semiconductor chip. The first semiconductor chip includes a photoelectric conversion portion, a capacitor, a reset transistor, and an amplification transistor. The second semiconductor chip includes a transfer transistor, and a row selecting transistor. The connecting portions connect the photoelectric conversion portion to the transfer transistor, the transfer transistor to the capacitor, and the amplification transistor to the row selecting transistor respectively.

An intermediate connection electrical connector includes a plurality of blades and a supporting member for supporting the blades arranged in an arrangement direction. The supporting member includes a surrounding wall portion for surrounding the blades and a regulating portion for positioning the blades. The surrounding wall portion includes a side wall portion and an edge wall portion. The side wall portion is at least partially formed of an electromagnetic wave absorbing material. The regulating portion is disposed inside the surrounding wall portion to define a blade accommodating space for accommodating the blades.

The present invention involves connectors for reducing Far-End Crosstalk (FEXT) through the use of novel polarity swapping to negate the cumulative effect of FEXT. Skew adjustment is used to improve the FEXT cancellation from polarity swapping. The polarity reversal location or locations among FEXT sources are optimized to achieve maximum FEXT cancellation. The novelty polarity swapping technique can be applied to a wide variety of connectors, such as mezzanine connectors, backplane connectors, and any other connectors that can benefit from FEXT reduction.

Reducing far-end crosstalk in electrical connectors

An electrical connector includes a housing having an opening portion in an upper surface thereof including a width edge in a short side direction and a side edge in a long side direction; a terminal disposed in the housing; and a suction member detachably attached to the housing. The suction member includes a plate portion for covering the housing and an attachment portion for attaching to the housing at a middle portion of the side edge. The plate portion includes an attachment region between both end portions of the attachment portion in the long side direction and a non-attachment region outside the attachment region extending to a distal end portion of the plate portion in the long side direction. The non-attachment region includes a deformable portion with a free end portion to be deformable.

A low density parity check codes decoder decodes an LDPC code with an arbitrary coding rate by the same configuration. The low density parity check codes decoder enables decoding of an LDPC code constituted by a base matrix of Mbmax rows and Nbmax columns and a permutation matrix as an element of the base matrix. It stores therein Mbmax&#xd7;Nbmax validity/invalidity flags, shift amounts of valid permutation matrices, a permutation matrix size in a processing target code, and the number of rows of a base matrix in the processing target code, determined depending on a check matrix for the processing target LDPC code, and generates column addresses and a row address to be given to column processing calculation sections and a row processing calculation section that perform calculation in accordance with a BP algorithm by utilizing the stored information, so that it can process an LDPC code for a smaller base matrix than the aforementioned base matrix as well.

Low density parity check codes decoder and method thereof

An electrical connector assembly has a fixed connector, a middle connector, and a plug connector. The fixed connector is attached to a circuit member of an electrical device. The middle connector is connected and pulled out to and from the fixed connector in a direction same as that of the plug connector being connected and pulled out to and from the middle connector. Each of the fixed connector, the middle connector, and the plug connector is provided with engagement portions at both end portions thereof in a direction parallel to a straight line extending in a different direction from an insertion and pull-out direction. With the engagement portions, it is possible to prevent the fixed connector from coming off from the middle connector when the plug connector is pulled out.
