Abstract: While a plurality of cellular mobile communication systems have their respective service areas regionally overlapping each other in part, a mobile station is configured to perform a standby for calling or communication while selecting one of the plural systems in the overlapping areas, and is arranged as follows: the mobile station preliminarily stores cell information notified of by a base station and indicating whether the mobile station is transferable to each surrounding cell while maintaining the current system; when the arrival of transfer timing to a surrounding cell is detected, the mobile station extracts the information about the pertinent cell and judges whether the surrounding cell is a transferable cell, based on the cell information; when the surrounding cell is a transferable cell, the mobile station transfers to the surrounding cell; when the surrounding cell is not a transferable cell, the mobile station directly transfers to a cell of a different system. This makes it feasible to decrease communication down time and decrease power consumption of the mobile station. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A lower leg exercise device (1) has an upper panel (2) and a lower panel (3) which are hingedly attached together along opposing longitudinal sides. A pair of elliptical forming panels (8) are hingedly attached to the lower panel (3) and are each foldable between a first position in which they lie substantially flat against the lower panel, whereby the upper panel may be collapsed flat against the lower panel for compact storage, and a second position in which they engage between the first and second panels in an upstanding manner so as to maintain the panels in spaced apart relationship. In said second position, the loading applied by the convexly curved upper and lower edges of the forming panels (8) to the upper and lower panels (2,3) results in said panels each adopting a convexly curved shape. In use, the device is placed an the floor in its erect configuration, the user placing their feet on the upper panel and rocking the device back and forth on the curved lower panel.

Abstract: An improved needle solution is provided for winding wire coils onto dynamo-electric machine components such as electric motor stators and armatures. The improved needle solution decreases the opportunity for collision between the needle apparatus and the machine component onto which wire coils are being wound and enables the winding of machine components with small interior hollows that may not allow conventional needle solutions to pass through. The improved needle solution further provides increased accuracy in wire coil stratification by stabilizing the stratification motion of the apparatus using guide structures that engage the needle arm. The needle solution further provides open access to the wire being fed through the apparatus for winding onto the machine component. Multiple needles may be accommodated by the apparatus to simultaneously wind multiple wire coils onto a machine component using the improved needle solution.
