Abstract: A controller manages a connection of a wireless terminal to a wireless base station, and provides a source base station with information for connecting the wireless terminal by way of an anchor when the wireless terminal moves between wireless base stations. When devices on both sides of an anchor connected communication are wireless terminals connected to wireless base stations in said same wireless communications system, a wireless base station device switches a path such that data is transmitted/received between the wireless base stations to which the wireless terminals are connected on both sides of the anchor connected communication without intervention of the anchor.

Abstract: The present invention is an IP multicast delivery apparatus for relaying the content, which is delivered from the multicast delivery server with the IP (Internet Protocol) multicast, to the premise apparatus, comprising: managing unit for managing a dependence relation of the content between the multicast groups; and controller for stopping/restarting of transfer of a multicast group based on the dependence relation that is managed by said managing unit.

Abstract: A control unit collects transfer ability information of respective base stations, load information such as the number of mobile stations belonging to the base stations and a communication traffic amount, and information on base stations to which the respective mobile stations belong. When the control unit detects that a mobile station has moved across a sub-network, the control unit dynamically selects a transfer source base station that can keep a stable communication quality from a moving source sub-network to a moving destination sub-network, dynamically establishes a stable communication path between the sub-networks, and stably keeps a communication quality for the mobile station.

Abstract: A small-diameter metallic conduit bending machine includes a stationary frame. The stationary frame made of bar stock or pipe stock is shaped so as to substantially conform to a finished metallic conduit. The stationary frame includes a bending section which has in its lengthwise direction a curvature smaller than the bend radius of the metallic conduit and in its widthwise direction a guide surface substantially orthogonal to the bend plane of the metallic conduit. A bending member whose outer peripheral surface faces the guide surface is disposed movably toward the stationary frame so that the metallic conduit can be bent so as to lie along the guide surface. The bending member is moved by an actuator when the actuator is in its pulling stroke.

Abstract: Disclosed is a vasoconstrictor peptide called Endothelin having a molecular weight of 2,500.+-.300. Endothelin contains 21 amino acid residues, wherein four cysteines form two sets of S--S bond.In order to obtain the vasoconstrictor factors of the present invention, it is preferable to culture the endothelial cells collected from the vascular inner walls in a serum-free medium.The vasoconstrictor peptides of the present invention can be utilized as hypotension therapeutic agents or local vasoconstrictors to animals including humans.

Abstract: The present invention provides a device for bending thin metallic pipes suitably used as a fuel supply pipe, brake pipe and the like of an automobile, which are bent at a plurality of portions thereof not in the same direction but in three-dimensional directions. The device according to the invention includes a stationary mold form having a first and a second bending section to the shapes of which a metallic pipe is bent and a guide member erected upright on the mold form at the second bending section, a bending member arranged outside the mold form and movable toward the latter for bending the metallic pipe, a rotor for rotating the bending member and an actuator for operating the rotor through a wire.

Abstract: A polymer binder, in which the content of a residual monomer is not more than 200 ppm, generates a smell only to a very slight extent and provides a toner having an improved blocking resistance and resistance against a plasticizer for polyvinyl chloride. The polymer binder is prepared by maintaining a polymer suspension obtained by suspension polymerization at a temperature of not lower than the glass transition temperature of the polymer and distilling water in an amount of 5 to 60% by weight based on the amount of water present at the time of termination of the polymerization.

Abstract: A small-diameter metallic conduit bending machine comprises a stationary frame with a guide surface, a bending member for pressing a metallic conduit against the stationary frame, and an actuator for moving the bending member via a lever. One end of the lever supporting the bending member is pivoted to the stationary frame at a position lying substantially on the axial center line of the metallic conduit within a central portion of a bend section where the metallic conduit is bent so as to lie along the guide surface of the stationary frame. Thus, the metallic conduit can be readily inserted between the guide surface and the bending member, and two successive bending works can be completed through one action.

Abstract: A small-diameter metallic conduit bending machine includes a stationary frame which is shaped so as to substantially conform to a finished metallic conduit. A bending member is provided movably toward the stationary frame from thereoutside to bend a metallic conduit. To prevent the bending member from interfering with the metallic conduit which is moving as the result of the bending process of a preceding stage, an actuator is provided to remove the bending member from the moving area of the metallic conduit. That is, the binding member is made movable toward the stationary frame and retractable from the moving area of the metallic conduit.

Abstract: A small-diameter metallic conduit bending machine comprises a stationary frame segment and a movable or separated frame segment, each including a bending station. Where a metallic conduit seems to interfere with the movable frame segment kept in its normal position when the metallic conduit is bent by a bending member, the movable frame segment is displaced to avoid interference, a subsequent bending work is performed beforehand, and then the subject bending work is performed after the movable frame segment is returned to its normal position.
