Abstract: The present invention provides a heat exchanger and an indoor unit of an air
conditioner that can both suppress a reduction in heat exchangeability and relax
the error tolerance of the attachment angle of the heat exchange units. The
indoor heat exchanger (50) is a heat exchanger (50) that is formed by connecting
a plurality of heat exchangers (50a, 50b, 50c, 50d), disposed in the indoor unit
(2) of an air conditioner, and includes a first indoor heat exchanger (50a), a
second indoor heat exchanger (50b), a third indoor heat exchanger (50c), and a
fourth indoor heat exchanger (50d). The third indoor heat exchanger (50c) is
connected at an angle to one end of the first indoor heat exchanger (50a) and
the second indoor heat exchanger (50b). The fourth indoor heat exchanger (50d)
is connected at an angle to another end of the first indoor heat exchanger (50a)
and the second indoor heat exchanger (50b). Then, the third indoor heat
exchanger (50c) and the fourth indoor heat exchanger (50d) will have the same
approximate height.

Abstract: An answer totaling and analyzing apparatus according to the present invention possesses an auxiliary light-projecting and receiving unit relaying a light-emitting and reception between a center unit and answer units, in addition to the center unit and the answer units exchanging signals by optical pulses. The center unit assigns answer periods of the respective answer units by answer command signals for the plural answer units. The respective answer units can reply answers for questions with a very small number of pulses by using a method in which contents of the answer are represented by a time position of an optical pulse transmission in the answer period assigned to the answer unit. The center unit discriminates the answer signals from the respective answer units by this communication method and detects the answer and totalizes and analyzes the answer. The light-emitting and receptions between the answer units and the center unit are relayed by using the auxiliary light-projecting and receiving unit, and thereby, it becomes possible to use in a large meeting room and to use a much number of answer units which are conventionally difficult, and a simple and stable answer totalizing and analyzing can be performed.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method for
notifying a first user that a second user has returned to
a call. A first user and a second user are engaged in a
call on a communication path. The second user suspends
the call, such as by placing the first user on hold. The
communication system monitors that communication path to
determine when the second user has activity on the
communication path. The activity can comprise voice or
data traffic. The communication system notifies the
first user that the second user has returned to the call.
The notification can occur by sending an audible signal
to the first user, a visual indicator to the first user,
a vibrating signal, or a paging signal to the first user.
The call is then resumed.

Abstract: Creating a low-bandwidth channel in a high-bandwidth channel. By taking
advantage of extra bandwidth in a high-bandwidth channel, a low-bandwidth channel
is created by inserting extra packets. When an inter-packet gap of the proper duration
is detected, the extra packet is inserted and any incoming packets on the high-bandwidth
channel are stored in an elastic buffer. Observing inter-packet gaps,
minimal latency is introduced in the high-bandwidth channel when there is no extra
packet in the process of being sent, and the effects of sending a packet on the low-bandwidth
channel are absorbed and distributed among other passing traffic.
