Abstract: A transmission device includes a plurality of transmitting units that transmit data to an opposing device via different paths, a determining unit that compares a first speed of an operation clock for the opposing device with a second speed of an operation clock for the transmission device, and an inserting unit that inserts, when the first speed is same as the second speed, first difference absorbing data that has a predetermined data length into the data to be transmitted by the transmitting units, that inserts, when the first speed is higher, second difference absorbing data that has a data length smaller than the predetermined data length into the data, and that inserts, when the second speed is higher, third difference absorbing data that has a data length greater than the predetermined data length into the data.

Abstract: A distance measurement device having better measurement accuracy than conventional distance measurement devices. A stereo camera (1) has a camera stay (4) to be secured to a housing (12) of a vehicle and also has a pair of cameras (2, 3) mounted on the camera stay (4). The camera stay (4) has an installation section (4a) located between the pair of cameras (2, 3) and to be mounted on the housing of the vehicle via fixation sections (6, 7, 8). The installation section (4a) is movable in the direction of a base line interconnecting the cameras (2, 3).

Abstract: It has a right camera, a left camera, a camera stay which holds the right camera and the left camera at predetermined positions, and an attachment portion having openings for fixing the camera stay to a vehicle, in which the openings are positioned at a plurality of virtual lines parallel to a base line connecting the right camera and the left camera, a plurality of the openings are arranged on a virtual parallel line far from the camera stay, and one opening is arranged on a virtual parallel line closer to the camera stay than the faraway virtual parallel line. This structure provides a stereo camera which can prevent from deformation of the camera stay owing to a difference of expansion between the attachment portion and the camera stay and from deviation in the base length and the optical axis of the both cameras, with high distance-measurement accuracy even in a change of surrounding temperature.

Abstract: A transmission system can perform flow control even if a flow control instruction is invalidated, and even when the transmission system malfunctions, it can autonomously recover to normal operation for communications. A flow control instruction sender has at least one of two functions including a normal transmission mode to send a flow control instruction for flow control over a congestion state if an event, such as the occurrence of a congestion or the removal of a congestion, occurs when a data receiver receives data, and an autonomous transmission mode to select one of a plurality of congestion states at present in each period and autonomously send a flow control instruction corresponding to the selected congestion state. The flow control instruction sender preferentially sends a flow control instruction in the normal transmission mode in which a congestion actually occurs or is actually removed, when timings of the normal transmission mode and the autonomous transmission mode coincide with each other.

Abstract: The present invention provides a one-core bidirectional optical transmitting/receiving module for wavelength multiplexing, which does not require optical waveguide fabricated with high precision and which has superb high frequency characteristics and has very low optical and electrical crosstalks and available at low cost. At the middle of an optical fiber 1 buried in a glass substrate 3, a light irradiating portion is provided, which has a wavelength selection filter 2 placed obliquely to the optical fiber. The light irradiating portion is fixed immediately above a backside entrance type photodetection element 4 mounted on a ceramic substrate 6 by flip-clip bonding, and only optical signals with specific wavelength are received. An optical fiber extra portion 7 between a photodetection unit and a light emitting unit has sufficient length, and an end of the optical fiber is optically coupled with the light emitting element.

Abstract: An address fault monitoring device and an ATM switching device capable of efficiently monitoring faults and quickly performing counter-fault process. Data storing unit stores data transmitted thereto. Write control unit controls the writing of data with respect to the data storing unit and notifies a read control side of write address information WD including information on a write address. Read control unit controls the reading of data with respect to the data storing unit and notifies the write control unit of read address information RD including information on a read address. Floating address measuring unit counts the number of floating addresses, and when a transmission error has occurred during transmission of the write address information WD or the read address information RD, it reckons the corresponding write or read address as a floating address.
