Abstract: A relay device is provided with a detection unit, a reply unit, and a transmission unit. The detection unit detects an inability to connect to a wide-area information communication network in a case in which the relay device is multiplexed with another relay device. In a case in which the detection unit detects the inability to connect to the wide-area information communication network, when a request searching for a replacement partner is received from another relay device, the reply unit replies to the other relay device with information indicating that the relay device itself is a replacement candidate. The transmission unit transmits information set in the relay device itself to the other relay device.

Abstract: A glass-ceramic-ferrite composition contains glass, a ceramic filler, and Ni—Zn—Cu ferrite. The glass contains about 0.5% by weight or more of R2O, where R is at least one selected from the group consisting of Li, Na, and K; about 5.0% by weight or less of Al2O3; about 10.0% by weight or more of B2O3; and about 85.0% by weight or less of SiO2 on the basis of the weight of the glass. The Ni—Zn—Cu ferrite accounts for about 58% to 64% by weight of the glass-ceramic-ferrite composition. The ceramic filler contains quartz and, in some cases, forsterite. The quartz accounts for about 4% to 13% by weight of the glass-ceramic-ferrite composition. The forsterite accounts for about 6% by weight or less of the glass-ceramic-ferrite composition.

Abstract: When firing a composite substrate structured to have stacked ceramic dielectric and ceramic magnetic layers, a glass constituent is diffused from the ceramic dielectric layer to the ceramic magnetic layer to, as a result, decrease sinterability of the ceramic dielectric layer or degrade insulation resistance characteristics thereof. When the ceramic dielectric includes 40 to 80% by weight of glass formed from 35 to 50% by weight of CaO, 0 to 20% by weight of Al2O3, 5 to 20% by weight of B2O3, and 30 to 50% by weight of SiO2; and 20 to 60% by weight of at least of alumina, forsterite, and/or quartz, this problem is avoided. The dielectric composition increases the viscosity of the glass, and suppresses constituent diffusion from the ceramic dielectric layer to the ceramic magnetic layer, because the glass is partially crystallized to form wollastonite during firing.
