    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To reduce the number of inputs of a LCD(liquid crystal display) driver chip and to suppress the variation among chips to be small. SOLUTION: A 10-bit 2-ary counter 202 free-runs in synchronism with a system clock. A 10-bit 5-staged shift register 200 stores the gamma correction data received from a PC. Comparators 204 compare the value X of the 2-ary counter 202 with values Ys stored in 10-bit registers to convert the gamma correction data into pulse widths. Outputs of the comparators 204 are latched in D-FFs 206 in synchronism with the system clock. Time-voltage transforming units 208 generate reference potentials for gamma correction by subjecting outputs of the D-FFs 206 to LPFs.

    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method and a device that can efficiently retrieve a wireless station in existence around the device in a network, especially in a wireless ADHOC communication network. SOLUTION: A master node 710 includes a protocol stack 715, a transceiver 720, a retrieval scheduler 725, a traffic prediction means 730, and an out-channel interference signal strength measurement means 735 as major components, and a slave node 750 includes a protocol stack 760, a transceiver 765, and a retrieval routine 755 as major components. An interference strength measurement means 735 informs a retrieval scheduler 725 about the strength of an interference signal measured by the interference strength measurement means 735 and the retrieval scheduler 725 decides the total amount of the resource assigned to the retrieval on the basis of the measured strength of the interference signal.

    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To enable network communications to be automatically and optimally carried out in radio ad hoc communications. SOLUTION: A communication terminal is formed as one of a plurality of nodes which constitute a cluster and serves as a cluster head capable of holding communication with the other cluster members or residual nodes and equipped with a cluster head suitability judgment device 11 for grasping the state of link with the cluster members, a cluster head shift schedule forming device 12 which forms a schedule table 15 for assigning the cluster members successively for a tentative cluster head, a link state suitability monitoring device 21 which recognizes the state of link with the other nodes when a cluster member becomes a tentative cluster head, and a cluster reconstruction device 26 which reconstructs the cluster, resting on the basis of the state of link grasped and recognized.
