Abstract: A reduced thickness radio unit without deteriorating antenna performance is
disclosed. A metallic plate (8) performing radio wave transmission/reception
together with a radiation electrode (3), is conductively connected to the radiation
electrode (3) of a surface-mount type antenna (1). The metallic plate (8) is preferably
disposed so as to be opposed to the outer long-side surface of the substrate (2) of the
surface-mount type antenna (1) with a space therebetween. Therefore, when
mounting the metallic pluk (8) on a circuit board (11) of the radio unit, the metallic
plate (8) does not face the circuit board (11) surface and the top surface of a shield
case, which are equivalent to ground. By thus disposing the metallic plate (8)
substantially perpendicularly to the circuit board (11), the problem of increase in
electrostatic capacitance between the metallic plate (8) and ground can be avoided,
the increase in electrostatic capacitance being due to the reduction in thickness of the
radio unit.

Abstract: A fuel-injected engine is operated in a compression
stroke injection mode or an intake stroke injection mode. The
intake flow rate appropriate for the compression stroke
injection mode is greater than that of the intake stroke
injection mode. When the engine is cold, the ECU (40)
determines the amount of fuel injected in accordance with the
actual intake flow rate. The ECU (40) controls a throttle
valve (18) such that the intake flow rate is appropriate for
the selected fuel injection mode before the fuel injection
mode is actually switched. As a result, fluctuations of the
engine speed caused by switching the fuel injection mode are
reduced.

Abstract: Disclosed is a system providing a VPN service by connecting a VPN
(Virtual Private Network) to a mobile communication network. A home agent
(HA) stores location information of a mobile node (MN) and information on
whether the MN is registered in the VPN. A foreign agent (FA) transmits a
location registration request message to the HA by receiving location registration
information of the MN, and transmits data to an ISP (Internet Service Provider)
router in the same subnet upon receiving a VPN service request. A server
provides the VPN service and a router network connects the VPN to the FA. The
router network includes a server for searching an edge IP router in the network
using an address of the FA. The HA prevents an MN from accepting a call
request received from a specific node in an IP network while the MN is
performing a VPN service.

IPC: H04Q11/04

Abstract: Instead of alternatively utilizing only one fabric or the other fabric of a redundant pair,
both fabrics simultaneously transmit duplicate information, such that each packet forwarding
module (PFM) receives the output of both fabrics simultaneously. In real time, an internal
optics module (IOM) analyzes each information chunk coming out of a working zero switch
fabric; simultaneously examines a parallel output of a working one duplicate switch fabric;
and compares on a chunk-by-chunk basis the validity of each and every chunk from both
switch fabrics. The IOM does this by examining forward error correction (FEC) check
symbols encapsulated into each chunk. FEC check symbols allow correcting a predetermined
number of bit errors within a chunk. If the chunk cannot be corrected, then the IOM provides
indication to all PFMs downstream that the chunk is defective. Under such conditions, the
PFMs select a chunk from the non-defective switch fabric. Under error-free normal
conditions, however, the PFMs select a chunk arbitrarily from a default switch fabric. In this
way, each chunk in real time is selected from a non-defective source and is thus guaranteed to
be error free. Accordingly, if a switch fabric fails, no information chunks are lost anywhere
in the system.
