Abstract: An object is to provide a communication system in which there are no restrictions on a communicable area and it is not necessary to install communication software on a wireless device. A communication system according to the present invention is configured so that the functions of a wireless access point are separated into a front-end unit on a wireless terminal side and a back-end side on the Internet side, radio signal processing functions supporting a wireless scheme of the wireless terminal are deployed only on the back end, and only relatively simple processing functions such as E/O conversion are deployed on the front end near the wireless terminal 311.

Abstract: A sustained drain system circuit and a sustained drain quality control system are constructed in which no mechanical or electrical driving and control mechanism is required at all, siphoning automatically occurs when some volume of urine is retained in the urinary bladder by the mass of urine, its potential energy, intrinsic pressure of filling and contraction of the urinary bladder, and abdominal pressure, and sustained drain continues even with a portion with a height difference higher than a drain source. In the sustained drain system circuit, a fluid is caused to be sustainedly drained by siphoning from an intracorporeal elastic closed space that can extend and contract as a drain source. The circuit is a siphoning circuit in which an inner diameter of a pipe space is designed so that a siphoning volume condition is satisfied and the fluid is drained as filling without a gap.

Abstract: Digital image data obtained by A/D converting an output signal from an image sensing device by an A/D conversion circuit is converted into image data corresponding to a predetermined image format by a digital process of an image conversion circuit. Therefore, an image of higher quality without deterioration in the picture can be provided in comparison with the case where digital image data obtained by A/D converting an output signal from an image sensing device is first converted into analog video data and then into A/D data. Further format conversion can be performed using a series of controllable image converters. The image converters and a signal processing unit can be selectively programmed to perform a variety of format conversions and image-type specific signal processing, respectively. Programming can be performed manually or automatically according to the type of input device or the type of information in the image.
