Abstract: A connection is established by transmitting and receiving protocol data between two face-to-face apparatuses to prevent a timer count from being started due to a detection of error if variables are not coincident in SAAL. On this occasion, if the transmitting side apparatus is restarted, this restart is judged, and a variable possessed by the transmitting side apparatus is initialized. The protocol data is stored with information indicating the restart and transmitted to the receiving side apparatus. The receiving side apparatus, upon receiving the protocol data, initializes a variable possessed by the receiving side apparatus based on the restart information. The receiving apparatus can promptly enter a restart sequence without collating with other variables by storing the protocol data with the information showing the restart. The restart can be executed without being restricted by a stopping time of a timer.

Abstract: An ATM network accommodates terminals having the version UNI 3.0 of signalling software installed and terminals having the version UNI 3.1 of the signalling software installed. A signalling device, when receiving a signalling message directed from a version UNI 3.0 terminal to a version UNI 3.1 terminal, translates the message created by the version UNI 3.0 signalling software into a format that the version UNI 3.1 signalling software can process, then sends it the version UNI 3.1 terminal.

Abstract: A clip for a garment hanger is provided with a pair of clip jaws having gripping pads provided thereon. At least one gripping pad on one clip jaw is further provided with a retention member that preferably overlies or extends over the peripheral edge of the other gripping pad on the other clip jaw while the clip is in the closed position. The retention member effectively inhibits a garment secured between such clip jaws and gripping pads from falling through the clip jaws, or from being pulled or otherwise drawn past the gripping pads while the clip is in the closed position.

Abstract: A method of molding a clamping garment clip for use on a hanger comprising the steps of molding a pair of support clamp arms with a first plastic material, molding a pair of support pads to said pair of support clamp arms with a second plastic material and forming mechanical interlocks between said support arms and said support pads exclusively by molded mechanical connections between said first and second plastic materials.

Abstract: The barrel (2) and the breech (8) are coaxially screw mounted within a tubular casing (9), and therefore said casing (9) not only stands as an interconnection between these elements, but reinforces the same substantially, allowing the use of more tilan one gunpowder pellet (16), a throttling (13) being established between the two casing (9) are at which the nipple assembly (15) is located on said casing, being thus laterally arranged. The rifle may thus, with the classic lateral nipple assembly, be easily taken down to be cleaned. lt is moreover fitted with an additional safety (36) which allows the cocked position with safety to be fall silently changed to the cocked position without safety, which is particularly appropriate when the rifle is used as a hunting weapon.

Abstract: A lamella strip intended for further processing into a framework band with a U-shaped or V-shaped cross-section comprises lamellae (2) defined by separating cuts (1) which stand opposite one another in pairs, which lamellae are connected with one another via bridges (4). Each lamella (2) is divided by a center cut (6). Each lamella has two oblong bead-like stamp marks (7), which are arranged on both sides of the center cut (6), and end at a distance (A) from the edges (3) of the lamella strip, forming a smooth end region (8). To produce such a lamella strip, first the separating cuts (1) and center cuts (6) are made in a strip of sheet metal, before the bead-like stamp marks (7) are formed.

Abstract: A call control management system is constructed causing no deterioration in performance relative to call control even when utilizing a totalizing function. The call control management system includes a call control system and a call information management system. The call control system outputs, every time the transition of a status of a call under control is made, a record showing a status after the call transition to a call status information log file. The call information management system extracts a record about the same call from the call status information log file, creates a record containing at least data convertible into a call charge on the basis of the extracted record, and stores the call information collecting log file with the created record. The call information management system, when indicated to output accounting information and traffic information etc, creates and outputs information indicated to be outputted based on the information stored in the call information collecting log file.

Abstract: A security system for preventing disc players from being used with unauthorized software is disclosed. The security code is stored through modulating an offset of the physical position of a plurality of data bits from a nominal track position. A two part optical read head provides an RF signal corresponding to the presence of a physical offset modulation. The RF signal is present when there is a physical offset of the data bits defining a first logical state and the absence of the RF signal defines a second logical state. A digital security code is encoded and decoded in this manner. A system for encoding a security code through modulating the physical offset of a plurality of data bits from a nominal track position is also disclosed.

Abstract: DC components are removed by a first and a second capacitor from a normal signal and its inverted signal from a first and a second input terminal, and the signals are input to a DC level generating circuit. The DC level generating circuit newly adds a DC component to the respective signals from which the DC components are removed by the first and the second capacitors, and extracts only a DC voltage from a feedback voltage with a low-pass filter using the fist and the second capacitors. The circuit of the DC level generating circuit which includes the low-pass filter using the first and the second capacitors is configured so that a high-frequency cut-off frequency other than that included into a loop gain by the low-pass filter is not included. Consequently, only one high-frequency cut-off frequency exists in the loop gain, thereby preventing a feedback circuit from oscillating.

Abstract: A coherent detecting circuit accurately estimates a propagation characteristic of a propagation path without increasing the number of pilot symbols when a fading frequency is high so that an error rate of received data is decreased. At least one pilot symbol is received from a transmitter. The pilot symbol may be provided in a data frame of data symbols, or transmitted through a channel different from a channel of the data symbols. A first estimated value of the propagation characteristic of a propagation path is estimated by using the pilot symbol. The data symbols are tentatively determined based on an estimated value of the propagation path. A second estimated value of the propagation characteristic is estimated by using the pilot symbol and at lease one of the tentatively determined data symbols. The data symbols are finally determined based on the second estimated value of the propagation characteristic.
