Abstract: Disclosed are the multiplex communication system and the method therefore. A fault detection part of a duplex switching device detects it as generation of fault when recognizable signals are not detected from a connected line within a prescribed time. When the fault detection part detects the generation of fault in the present system line, the line switching part switches the lines from the present line to the standby line to perform communication between a terminal device and another terminal device therethrough. Also, the fault detection part notifies the generation of fault to the other duplex switching device after a prescribed switching protection time has passed from the time of the fault detected by the fault detection part, so the selection of the lines becomes consistent.

Abstract: A plurality of tabs are arrayed in a predetermined direction on a screen page. Every time a control switch supported so as to be capable of oscillating within a predetermined range and capable of pushing is pushed, a tab sequentially selected is shifted and activated. A setting screen page is displayed. When a part of a plurality of tabs are displayed on a screen page, a tab appears on the screen may be sequentially changed by pushing operation of the control switch part. In this manner, a tab is pointed, selected and determined only by operation of the control switch part.

Abstract: The object of the present invention is to provide an digital personal assistant with easy operationality when transitioning operation pages. A variety of operation pages can be displayed selectively on a liquid crystal display panel 12 having a touch panel 12a. A control switch 13 is supported to be able to be rotated in a predetermined angle range and pushed-in at the reference position of said rotation. An operation signal is sent out in response to the turn or push in operation of the control switch. A CPU 21 judges whether the touch panel is touched or the control switch is operated. When it is judged that the touch panel is touched, the CPU allows the first page transition to be done whereby the operation page displayed on the liquid crystal display panel is transitioned in accordance with the touch operation.

Abstract: A side controller supported so as to be capable of oscillating within a predetermined range and capable of pushing is disposed on the side face of a PDA, a current page displayed on a display part is controlled to scrolled in a first direction by oscillating operation of the side controller, a current page is transferred to a predetermined processing mode to display a screen page corresponding to the processing mode by prolonged pushing operation of the side controller for a time longer than a predetermined time, a current page is transferred to a screen page other than a predetermined screen page, for example, a current page is transferred to a processing mode unrelated to a operating button displayed on the current page, for prolonged pushing operation of the side controller long time, further, a list of reply mail sentences which is input beforehand is displayed as a screen page of a list of reply mail sentences by activation of a sending mode for sending a reply mail to a received mail when a mail screen

Abstract: Predetermined travel locuss are set in a three-dimensional virtual space. Menu panels for displaying menu items are arranged along the travel locuss assuming a display position set as a local origin so that the normal to each LCD panel will face a virtual camera. The transparency of a menu panel is raised in accordance with its distance to the virtual camera. In case a scroll operation is performed, menu panels are moved along the travel locuss connecting display positions P until a selected specific menu panel reaches the display position P0. A display screen on a portable information terminal is drawn as a screen image V shot with the virtual camera and menu panels are three-dimensionally displayed in rolls.

Abstract: In a transmitter, at least some of synchronization patterns in a signal having frame structure are inverted in a bit inverting circuit, and a plurality of channels of signals which include a signal having the inverted synchronization patterns are multiplexed and transmitted in a time-division manner. In a receiver, the time-division multiplexed channels are demultiplexed into individual channels. Then, frame synchronization is performed on the basis of the channel having the inverted synchronization patterns among the demultiplexed channels. With the frame synchronized channel as a reference, the remaining channels are identified. There is no need to provide a synchronization circuit in each channel, and the size of the system is not increased.

Abstract: At a transmission side, an encoder 4 codes data of each channel and inserts a special character attributing to each channel. A character multiplex circuit 5a byte multiplex each channel for outputting. At a reception side, a character synchronization circuit 9 synchronized with a character by detecting the special character. A character demultiplex circuit 10a demultiplexes a signal by a character byte and obtains data of each channel. A channel identification circuit 11 identifies each channel by detecting the special character attributing to the channel without bit rotating for synchronization. A decoder 14 executes decoding without bit rotating and outputs a signal from a channel demultiplex circuit.

Next, it time division multiplexes signals by allocating the reference signal to a reference time slot and allocating data signals to time slots of which phase difference between the reference time slot is predetermined, and sends a multiplexed signal. In a receiver side, the reference time slot is detected based on identification information in a transmitted signal.

Abstract: A rod 3 is driven forward to open an annular slit 5 between a die 2 and a mandrel 4 and the molten resin in a resin accumulation chamber 10 is expelled from annular slit 5 to form a parison. In this operation, the die 2 is displaced from an original position adjoining to the mandrel 4 (axially aligned position) upon opening of the annular slit 5 to correct for any variation in thickness of parison P to be extruded from the annular slit 5. Then, the molten resin accumulated in accumulation chamber 10 is expelled from annular slit 5 to form parison P. The die 2 is then reset to the original position to bring the die 2 and mandrel 4 into axial alignment. Therefore, as the rod 3 is driven back, the annular slit 5 can be closed tight by the mandrel 4 to prevent resin leakage. After closure of the annular slit 5, molten resin is accumulated again in the accumulation chamber 10 and the annular slit 5 is opened. This procedure is repeated to produce parisons on an intermittent basis.
