  • Patent number: 10291779
    Abstract: An objective is to provide a call center system operable in accordance with various signaling specifications without causing an automatic call distributor to cope with the various signaling specifications. A call-originator terminal 101 includes a virtual call device 105 transmitting a different signal to a call center 100 from signaling. The call center 100 includes an automatic call distributor 118 selecting a terminal in a call-center-terminal group 102 upon receiving the signal from the virtual call device 105. In addition, the call-originator terminal 101 and the call center 100 include respective telecommunication-device control devices 107, 115, giving, to either one of the call-destination terminal 113 selected by the automatic call distributor 118 and the call-originator terminal 101, a telecommunication device ID of the other terminal, and causing the one terminal to start signaling for transmitting an actual call to the other terminal based on the telecommunication device ID.

  • Patent number: 9930565
    Abstract: It is an objective of the present disclosure to provide a controlling apparatus for communication-quality measuring which suppresses a reduction of a service communication quality in measurement of a communication quality through data transfer. A communication apparatus 100 is provided with a controlling apparatus for communication-quality measuring 102 that includes a communication-quality measuring unit 106 performing the data transfer with a communication load at a predetermined repetition to measure a communication quality value, a measurement-environment memory 107 storing the communication quality value, a measurement-environment monitor 108 monitoring a change in the stored value in the measurement-environment memory 107, and a measurement-load controlling unit 109 changing the communication load according to the change in stored value.

  • Patent number: 4655045
    Abstract: A cryogenic vessel for a superconducting apparatus has an inner vessel which houses a freezing mixture and a winding of a superconducting apparatus. The inner vessel is surrounded by a vacuum insulating vessel which thermally insulates the inner vessel. A connecting pipe connects the inside of the inner vessel with the outside of the vacuum insulating vessel. A cylindrical dividing pipe which surrounds the connecting pipe with a radial clearance therebetween extends into the inner vessel and is connected between the inner end of the connecting pipe and the inner vessel. A gas flow passageway is formed between the inner end and the outer end of the connecting pipe, the passageway bordering on the inner or outer surface of the connecting pipe.
