Abstract: There is provided a method of manufacturing a vehicle seat configured by covering a seat cover on a sitting surface side of a seat frame via a seat pad and by covering a non-sitting surface side of the seat frame with a carpet, the vehicle seat including an end fixing part having a groove into which both ends of the seat cover and the carpet are to be inserted and fixed. The method includes fixing, to the end of the seat cover, an insertion member having stiffness, which can be inserted and fixed in the groove integrally with the seat cover, arranging the carpet such that the end thereof covers an entrance of the groove, and inserting the insertion member into the groove to thus push and fix the end of the carpet in the groove while the end of the carpet abuts on the insertion member.

Abstract: There is provided a panel-shaped seat back frame used for a seat back of a vehicle seat. The panel-shaped seat back frame includes a basic frame member configured by a metallic rod-shaped material, and a panel-shaped forming member which is made of a hard foamed resin and covers the basic frame member.

Abstract: A mapping server includes: a path information obtaining unit that obtains path information on external networks through a forwarding device connected to an external network; and a mapping information generating unit that generates mapping information that relates the path information and the forwarding device.

Abstract: The disclosure relates to a method for determining routing path of a packet in a communication network. The method includes steps, but is not limited to, (i) receiving, by a data collection module, a packet from each of at least two sensors (ii) generating, by a digest information generator, a footprint for each packet received from each of the at least two sensors (iii) comparing, by an analysis module, whether each of the at least one footprint generated matches a last generated footprint.

Abstract: A communication system includes an allocated address storage unit that stores an address allocated using host location information, and an address management unit that refers to the allocated address storage unit and uses the host location information to allocate an address to a host to which the address has not been allocated.

Abstract: A controller includes a first control information generation unit that generates the first control information that causes a forwarding apparatus being controlled to forward a packet(s) over a first path, and a second control information generation unit that generates the second control information that causes the forwarding apparatus being controlled to forward a group of packets inclusive of the packet as an object controlled by the first control information over a second path different from the first path.

Abstract: A control apparatus includes: a path calculation unit that calculates first and second paths sharing start and end nodes out of a plurality of nodes; a rule generation unit that generates a first rule for forwarding a packet along the first path and a second rule for forwarding a packet along the second path; and a rule transmission unit that sends the first and the second rules to at least one of the nodes, and has at least one of the nodes forward a packet according to either the first rule or the second rule.

Abstract: A control apparatus includes: a route information storage unit configured to store information for obtaining a neighboring router(s) set as a next hop(s) for a destination; a path calculation unit configured to calculate a path(s) between arbitrary control target nodes on the basis of a network topology configured by a plurality of control target nodes; and control information creation units configured to create control information set in the plurality of control target nodes. Indivisual one of control information creation units, as for a destination allocated to itself among destinations obtained from the route information storage unit, creates control information for causing at least one control target node on a path(s) to forward packets to the neighboring router(s) by using a path(s) calculated by the path calculation unit.
