Abstract: An active user support system includes a communication apparatus, shop system, support center system, and communication line. In the support center system, an address registration reception apparatus acquires the identification information of the communication apparatus when it is newly connected to the communication line. An address information storage apparatus stores the identification information. A customer/purchase information reception apparatus receives the customer information and purchase information transmitted from the shop system. A customer/purchase information storage apparatus stores the received customer information and purchase information. An extraction apparatus specifies, as a device to be supported, a communication apparatus for which a predetermined period has elapsed from the purchase date/time and whose identification information is not stored and extracts information about the specified communication apparatus from the customer/purchase information storage apparatus.

Abstract: A communication network system has a plurality of interconnected sub-networks, at least one mobile node having a care-of address dependent on a sub-network currently connected thereto and a home address independent of the connected sub-network, and a home agent. Upon detection of a sub-network connected to the mobile node, the latter determines a security method corresponding to the sub-network held in a node-side security application management table as a security method for ensuring the security for user data communicated between the mobile node and a home agent associated therewith. Then, the sub-network is notified to the home agent through a mobile node network signal. The home agent determines a security method corresponding to the sub-network from among security methods held in an agent-side security application management table as a security method used for ensuring the security for user data communicated between the home agent and the mobile node managed thereby.

Abstract: The protocol repeat/conversion library 13 and the protocol repeat/conversion program 24 exchange inner information between each other in order to establish a virtual connection. The protocol repeat/conversion library 13 sends a logical host address name determined independently of the receiver protocol. The protocol repeat/conversion program 24 resolves the receiver address determined dependently of the receiver protocol and stores the receiver address to the address conversion table 242 with a index number related to the receiver address. The index number indicates one line in the address conversion table 132 and 242. The protocol repeat/conversion library 13 receives the index number. After all, the index number is applied for establishing a virtual connection between the sending terminal 1 and the receiving terminal 3.

Abstract: A cup ring and a holding-plate are disposed at each side of a front bracket of a stator of a motor, to fix in place an outer ring of a front ball-bearing of the rotor of the motor in order to prevent creep between a bearing housing and the outer ring. A thickness of a bearing shim is adjusted such that a distance between an end portion of a tube section of the cup ring and a first end face of the outer ring is less than 0.1 mm. The holding plate is temporarily fixed to a given place of the motor shaft, and then screwed down thereto with a screw, so that the holding plate moves and solidly contacts the outer ring of the front ball bearing. An outer diameter of the motor shaft extending between the given place and the bearing is smaller than a center hole of the holding plate such that the holding plate does not contact the motor shaft.

Abstract: A registration agent system that registers information that must be registered to enable a node newly added to a network to commence communication. This registration agent system performs registration without a newly added node or a node manager of a newly added node having to know the location of a node managing structural information of the network or procedures for registration. Further, this registration agent system controls what information is registered and what information is not registered.

Abstract: There are provided a pressure intensifying cylinder 2a for allowing a pressure intensifying chamber 31 to communicate with a head-side cylinder chamber 22 of a working cylinder 1 and its control hydraulic circuit. When a load and a rated pressure Pp of a hydraulic pump 25 are balanced with each other at the time of inserting and setting a core 41, a check valve 21 is closed and a sequence valve 34 is opened to move the pressure intensifying cylinder 2a forward, so that the pressure of the head-side cylinder chamber 22 is increased. A pressure intensifying ratio of the pressure intensifying cylinder 2a is set such that the pressure of the head-side cylinder chamber 22 is higher than pressure occurring with molding pressure.

Abstract: Cup ring 8 and holding-plate 11, disposed at each side of front bracket 7, sandwich tightly an outer ring of front ball-bearing 10 in order to prevent creep between a bearing housing and the outer ring. A thickness of bearing shim 12 is adjusted such that an axial clearance between the front ball-bearing and a rear ball-bearing falls within a range from 0.02 to 0.1 mm. Holding plate 11 is temporarily fixed to a given place of motor shaft 1, then screwed down thereto with screw 14, so that plate 11 moves and solidly contacts with the outer ring of front ball bearing 10. An outer diameter of shaft 1 extending between the given place and bearing 10 is smaller than a center hole of holding plate 11, thus plate 11 does not touch shaft 1.

Abstract: A method and an apparatus for controlling an injection of a die-casting machine, the apparatus having an open-shut valve for opening and shutting a hydraulic channel through which hydraulic fluid is discharged from a boost cylinder device and a boost cylinder flow-control valve for regulating a flow of the hydraulic fluid discharged from the boost cylinder device. When a highly viscous molten material is injected toward a casting mold and the molten material reaches a gate of the casting mold, an injection resistance is increased. At this time, by regulating the hydraulic channel with the control valves to discharge the hydraulic fluid in accordance with a predetermined program, the boost cylinder device applies further pressure to the injecting piston to assist injection process, thereby preventing inappropriate change in injection speed. Consequently, the open-shut valve is opened to conduct ordinary pressure boosting pressure process.
