  • Publication number: 20240187504
    Abstract: A communication system performs communication on the basis of a TCP. The communication system includes a transmission-side device and a reception-side device. A route switching time zone is a time zone in which a communication route between the transmission-side device and the reception-side device is switched from a first communication route to a second communication route. When detecting packet missing of a first packet in the route switching time zone, the reception-side device prohibits transmission of a retransmission request related to the first packet to the transmission-side device during a first time from detection of the packet missing. When not receiving the first packet during the first time, the reception-side device transmits a retransmission request related to the first packet to the transmission-side device.

  • Publication number: 20240179596
    Abstract: A wireless communication system switches a connection destination of a ground wireless station from a first node station to a second node station. The ground wireless station establishes a link with an absolute node station when a link with the second node station cannot be established before a link with the first node station is disconnected. The absolute node station is connectable to the ground wireless station in an entire communication area and has a connection priority lower than connection priorities of the first node station and the second node station. The ground wireless station switches the connection destination from the first node station to the absolute node station. Thereafter, the ground wireless station switches the connection destination to the second node station after a link with the second node station is established.

  • Publication number: 20240116404
    Abstract: A vehicle seat includes a base part, a first movable part, a second movable part, a lock member, and an interlocking mechanism configured to link movement of the lock member to movement of the second movable part. The interlocking mechanism includes an attaching member, a first rotational member connected to the second movable part, a second rotational member connected to the lock member, and a swingable member provided swingably on the second rotational member. The engagement of the swingable member and the first rotational member causes the first rotational member and the second rotational member to rotate together, whereby the lock member moves from a lock position to an unlock position. The swingable member disengaging from the first rotational member permits the first rotational member and the second rotational member to rotate independently, whereby the lock member moves from the unlock position to the lock position.
