Abstract: In a system in which communication is performed among a
plurality of devices having a mechanism of disassembling a packet into
ATM cells to send them and a plurality of devices having a mechanism
of assembling the received ATM cells into the packet, a frame is
prevented from being lost owing to change of virtual connections in the
course of transferring the frame, improving reliability of the
communication on the packet level. 
     When the switch receives a request for change of switching, it
does not processes that request at once, but confirms that the cell
located at the boundary of the frame has been processed, before
processing the change request, so as to protect the frame. 
     When the switch receives a request for change of switching, it
protects a frame by multicasting the cells to both destinations before
change and after change, for a given period of time.

Abstract: Calling party identification announcement service (CPIAS) provides an
announcement of the caller's name to a called party, so that the called party may accept
of reject a call. This invention relates to arrangements for providing CPIAS using
centralized announcement synthesis apparatus, under the control of a data base (in
accordance with the principles of intelligent networks), within the basic call processing
arrangements of the public switched telephone network, without requiring users of the
services to have two telephone numbers. Billing entries for the use of the
announcement service are made under the control of the terminating switch so that
these entries can be readily combined with other billing entries for the called party in
order to generate a bill for that party.

Abstract: A curtain assembly includes a pair of parallel spaced guide
rails (15, 16) directly attached by bonding to the inside
surface of a vehicle window glass (12). By virtue of direct
attachment of the guide rails (15, 16), the spacing between the
window glass (12) and a curtain (20) can be reduced to a
minimum. The guide rails may have a two-piece structure
composed of two guide rail members relatively movably connected
end to end with a space defined therebetween so that the
differential thermal expansion between the guide rails and the
window glass can be taken up. The curtain assembly may include
a curtain unit particularly suitable for use with a curved
window glass. The curtain unit includes a flexible tubular
winding drum rotatably mounted a curved stationary shaft having
substantially the same curvature as the curved window glass.

Abstract: In a, so-called, lean burn engine having a vaporized
fuel processor, a concentration of a vaporized fuel purged
into an intake air passage (so-called, a purge
concentration) is estimated using a normal type oxygen
concentration sensor. Whenever a predetermined interval
of time has passed, the engine combustion condition is
forcefully and temporarily transferred into a
stoichiometric air-fuel mixture ratio combustion
condition during which the purge concentration is
estimated on the basis of an output signal from the oxygen
concentration sensor during an air-fuel mixture ratio
feedback control.

Abstract: A tellurite glass as a glass material of optical
fiber and optical waveguide has a composition
of 0 < Bi 2 O 3  ≤ 20 (mole %), 0 ≤ Na 2 O ≤ 35 (mole %), 0

silica-based optical fiber (as a first fiber) (301)
and a silica-based optical fiber (as a second fiber)
(302), optical axes (301a, 302a) of the first and
second optical fibers (301, 302) are held at
different angles  1  and  2  ( 1  ≠  2 ) respectively from
a vertical axis of a boundary surface between their
spliced ends, and a relationship between the angles
 1  and  2  satisfies Snell's law represented by an
equation of sin  1  / sin  2  = n 2  / n 1  (where n 1  is a
refractive index of the first optical fiber and n 2  is
a refractive index of the second optical fiber) at
the time of splicing the first and second optical
fibers (301, 302).

Abstract: A discharge tube in which the electrical insulating
property between the discharge trigger wires (30) is not
deteriorated by substance sputtered when discharge is
conducted between upper (20a) and the lower (20b) discharge
electrodes includes sub-discharge trigger wires (50) at the
centre of an inner circumferential wall of the airtight

the reference clock signal follows speed variations of the storage medium. A
method for optimizing such data transfer is also disclosed.
