Abstract: A display rack for displaying storage boxes for
merchandise, comprising two vertical, spaced apart members attached
to two horizontal base portions. Each vertical member has a slit
cut in its top end for insertion of a sign. Each base portion has
a slot cut therethrough on one side, so that the bottom end of a
vertical member fits within the slot. There is also means for
securing each base portion to a vertical member so that the
vertical members slant slightly rearwardly from the vertical. Each
base portion can be rotated to lie parallel with the vertical
member to which it is secured. A plurality of spaced-apart
horizontal beams are mounted between the two vertical members and
attached to the rear side of each of the two vertical members. A
plurality of spaced-apart horizontal support means are also mounted
between the vertical members and beneath a corresponding horizontal
beam, so that the distance between a horizontal support means and
the corresponding horizontal beam is equal to the height of the
box. The storage box can be detachably mounted on the rack by
placing the rear wall of the box a behind a beam so that the rear
wall of the box rests against the beam. The bottom of the box then
rests on the support means, so that the bottom of the box is angled
slightly downward from horizontal to display the merchandise
contained therein.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for automatically compensating a sound volume
are disclosed. The method includes the steps of determining whether a channel
conversion key and an audio input switching key are inputted, producing an
energy of an audio signal when the channel conversion key is inputted, and
comparing an energy value of the audio signal detected for a predetermined time
period with an energy value obtained from a previous step thereof and
compensating for as much volume as a difference obtained by the comparison.
The method together with the apparatus considers a symmetrical characteristic
of an audio signal, calculates a voice energy with regard to a half signal of the
audio signal, converts the calculated signal to a simplified value, and
automatically compensates for the volume accordingly, thereby removing
redundant manual steps.

second storage to supply the bridging data to the data processing
unit during a period in which reading the data stored
on the first and second target storage media is discontinuous
because of exchange of the first target storage medium for the
second target storage medium, so as to present the data stored
on the first and second target storage media continuously.

Abstract: A handoff control system for performing
handoff processing for a terminal that moves across
cells of base stations while performing speech
communication includes a measuring section, a
calculating section, a queue storage section, a
request processing section, and a queue control
section. The measuring section periodically measures
the reception signal strength in the terminal. The
calculation section calculates the relative change
amount of reception signal strength at measurement
time intervals on the basis of the measurement result.
The queue storage section stores queues to which
priorities based on relative change amounts of reception
signal strength are assigned. When the terminal
generates a handoff request, the request processing
section distributes a call from the terminal to one of
the queues on the basis of the relative change amount
of reception signal strength in the terminal. When an
available channel is present in an adjacent cell to
which the terminal, which generated the request, has
moved, the queue control section assigns the call,
distributed into the queue according to the order
based on the priority, to the available channel. A
handoff control method and a storage medium are also
disclosed.

Abstract: An Fe-B-R based permanent magnet has a metal oxide film
having a thickness of 0.01 µm to 1 µm on its surface with a metal
film interposed therebetween. Thus, the film is excellent in
adhesion to the surface of the magnet. Even if the permanent
magnet is left to stand under high-temperature and high-humidity
of a temperature of 80°C and a relative humidity of
90 % for a long period of time, the magnetic characteristic of
the magnet cannot be degraded. The magnet has a thermal shock
resistance enough to resist even a heat cycle for a long period
of time in a temperature range of -40°C to 85°C, and can exhibit
a stable high magnetic characteristic. Therefore, it is
possible to produce an Fe-B-R based permanent magnet having a
corrosion-resistant film free from hexa-valent chromium.
