Abstract: A wireless packet communication system conforming to the IEEE 802.11 standard includes a plurality of access points (APs) most of which have wired connections only for power and an ISDN telephone line. The APs communicate at 8.5 Ghz with a regional point-of-presence that is one end of a VPN through the internet to a national office. The registered users' data and control of the system including the IP assignment and SIP proxy and the control of the 802.11 communication reside in the national office. By retaining for a short period the SIP connection, IP address and key encryption information after a user has disassociated from an AP, the user can quickly reauthenticate and reassociate using the same SIP connection, IP address, and encryption key at a different AP. Voice data and computer data can both be processed through an AP by the addition on another 802.11 frame encoder/decoder.

Abstract: A working vehicle with a traversing system wherein a front wheel is installed on a swing member rotatable about a vertical axis relative to a body and including a rotating cylinder for rotating the swing member. The entire part of the front wheel is formed compact in connection with a drivingly running device stored in the swing range of the front wheel. A battery mountable on the body comprises a wide front part movable in the vehicle longitudinal direction between rear wheels in the straight forward running attitude. A narrow rear part is positioned between the rear wheels in the transverse running attitude, whereby the attachment and detachment of the wheel can be preformed easily and can be mounted stably.

Abstract: A check valve is installed in a hydraulic line for hydraulic oil to be fed to a forward movement hydraulic clutch, while an accumulator for accumulating some amount of the hydraulic oil fed to the hydraulic clutch is installed between the check valve and the hydraulic clutch. Further installed is a control spool that is operated by the hydraulic oil fed to the forward movement hydraulic clutch and that cooperates with the check valve to hold the hydraulic oil accumulated in the accumulator. According to this arrangement, even if the oil pressure drops momentarily due to a speed gear shift, the pressure for the hydraulic clutch before the gear shift is held by the hydraulic oil accumulated in the accumulator. Thus, a delay in torque restoration due to a slip of the hydraulic clutch can be eliminated, so that an operator can be freed from having a feeling of torque loss or a shock, and a feeling of uneasiness such as a feeling of reversing on an uphill slope, during the gear shift.

Thus, the mast (6) needs not be disposed unnecessarily forward of the front wheels (3) for the sake of the travel drive device (30), and the balance of the body in the longitudinal direction can be preferably kept without increasing its self weight.

Abstract: A working vehicle with a transverse system, wherein when a traveling mode is switched to transverse traveling, a switching valve is switched to feed a full flow of pressure oil from a hydraulic pump to a flow divider. The flow divider controls the flow to allow a specified amount of flow to flow to a control valve for a hydraulic operating device. The control valve controls only the pressure oil required for steering to allow oil to flow to the hydraulic operating device so as to operate a hydraulic operating device to rotate both swing members about a vertical axis, thereby to steer both front wheels through 90 degrees. After both front wheels are steered, the vehicle can run transversely in lateral directions by controllably rotating both front wheels.

Abstract: This invention relates to inflammatory responses in isolated peripheral human neutrophils that studied in the presence or absence of specially processed Radix Stephaniae tetrandrae (SPRST). We conclude that SPRST exerts anti-inflammatory effects by interfering with reactive oxygen species (ROS) production and calcium (Ca2+) influx through G-protein modulation to prevent Mac-1 up-regulation and firm adhesion by neutrophils during activation.Thns, SPRST may be clinical beneficial in the prevention of cardiovascular disease, or other diseases related to over activation of neutrophil.
