Abstract: A double-stick adhesive tape (10) for fixing a wig (100) to a head, of which the surface of at least one side (12) of both sides of adhesive layers (12, 13) on a core material (11) is deglossed by forming minute concavity and convexity (12a), one side of adhesive layer (12) is formed to have a thickness to bury at least more than half of a wire diameter of the filament (103) used as a net member of a wig base (101), thereby one side of adhesive layer (12) is set inside of a network (104) of the net member, and bonded to the net member, a filament (103) is peripherally bonded with the adhesive layer (12) and the other adhesive layer (13) is bonded to the head.

Abstract: Remote data entry is performed in such a manner that a plurality of entry items and a plurality of data items are caused to collectively enter within one communication and the check sum is calculated simultaneously with the data entry so that abnormality of the data is easily detected even if the contents of the entry data are changed due to the abnormality occurring in a facsimile apparatus. Data is collectively stored in a receiving buffer and a great quantity of data is caused to remote enter if the capacity of the buffer permits. After all remote data entries have been completed, the check sums of all entry memory regions are performed so that the memory capacity of the program code of the check sum is saved.

Abstract: A facsimile apparatus capable of recalling a destination for retransmission when the transmission ends with a transmission error, comprises a memory unit for storing image data page by page; a transmission unit for transmitting the image data stored in said memory unit page by page; a detection unit for detecting a transmission error during the transmission of the image data by said transmission unit; an error page memory unit for storing a transmission error page based on the detection result by said detection unit; a line control unit for terminating the transmission with error and recalling the error terminated destination based on the detection of the transmission error by said detection unit; and a retransmission unit for causing said transmission unit to retransmit the image data stored in said memory unit from the error page stored in said error page memory unit after the line connection by the recalling by said line control unit.

Abstract: A control command indicating the end of a command is set in a remote command in file data to be transmitted, and the remote command is transmitted as packet data having a data length based on the control code to a receiving apparatus. When the receiving apparatus extracts the command from the received packet data, it informs, as a response signal, to the apparatus which transmitted the command that the command was extracted, and the transmitting apparatus restarts command transmission from a portion where the response signal cannot be received.

Abstract: A communication apparatus utilizes a distinctive ringing pattern service provided by a switching network for switching speech communication to and from data communication and for telling who is to answer an incoming call. In the apparatus, communication is switched between speech communication, including voice answering communication, and data communication, including facsimile data communication, according to an intermittent pattern of a call signal from a switching network. Data corresponding to the intermittent pattern of a call signal is transmitted, data from a calling party side is recorded and character information corresponding to the intermittent pattern of a call signal is displayed.
