Abstract: An external cover pipe to be fitted over a fluid transport pipe made
of synthetic resin via an elastic seal is disclosed. The external cover pipe
includes a plurality of split pipe members divided in the peripheral direction
of the pipe which cooperate to compress the elastic seal in association with a
fastening operation of fastener means for fastening and joining together the
split pipe members disposed adjacent each other in the peripheral direction.
Each split pipe member includes, in an inner peripheral face thereof, a
deformation limiting face for coming into contact with an outer peripheral
face of the fluid transport pipe in association with the fastening operation of
the fastener means so as to limit radial deformation of the fluid transport
pipe. This deformation limiting face is provided at a portion in the inner
peripheral face of the split pipe member located at a position axially offset
toward an extreme axial end of the external cover pipe away from a portion
thereof where the elastic seal is attached. With the deformation limiting
face, the fluid transport pipe may effectively absorb an external force
resulting from an earthquake, differential settlement or the like through
elastic bending deformation of this transport pipe, yet, the problem of fluid
leakage due to local reduction in the tightness of the elastic seal in the
peripheral direction thereof may be restricted effectively.

Abstract: In a multi-access communication system where a center
station dynamically allocates the band of an uplink to
subscriber stations, the band of an uplink is flexibly and
efficiently allocated when the up-service quality is
insured. When requesting a service quality assurance, the
subscriber station 30 transmits the service quality
request information 210 to the center station 10. The
center station 10 transmits the identifier allocation
information 310 to the subscriber station 30 to allocate
an identifier. When the service priority is high, the
center station 10 periodically transmits the reservation
transmission permission information 410 and 411 to the
subscriber station 3 at the reservation permission
transmission intervals 910, thus checking for the presence
or absence of reservation information. Waste consumption
of the up-band can be suppressed by periodically
transmitting the reservation transmission permission
information even if subscriber stations issue up-data at
irregular intervals. The upper limit value of up-delay
amount can be insured by adjusting the transmission period
of reservation transmission permission information.
