Abstract: a photoelectric conversion apparatus includes a plurality of pixels including an effective pixel configured to receive light and an optical black pixel shielded from light, determination means for determining a correction value for correcting a signal value of the effective pixel based on a signal acquired from the optical black pixel, and output means for outputting an image using the correction value. the determination means determines the correction value based on a difference between a first signal value indicating a signal value of the optical black pixel in a state where a light-shielding portion is inserted in an optical path of an imaging optical system and a second signal value indicating a signal value of the effective pixel and a third signal value indicating a signal value of the optical black pixel in a state where the light-shielding portion is removed from the optical path of the imaging optical system.

Abstract: ml beacon frames sent by ap mld during ml discovery report the profiles of all the affiliated aps. this duplication over multiple channels substantially reduces network bandwidth available for data transmission. a management ap amongst the affiliated aps is selected for processing the management and control frames. the ml beacon frames from the management ap convey the profiles of all the affiliated aps, while the other affiliated aps send lighter ml beacon frames that for instance indicate where to find the full ml beacon frames. the ml beacon frames hence signal, using a link id, which one of the affiliated aps is the management ap. upon receiving a light ml beacon frame, the non-ap mld can configure one of its affiliated non-ap station to communicate with the management ap, and then can switch the association procedure over this management link.
