Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for helping maintain isochronous communications with peripheral devices (308), such as USB devices, over a network (302). Some methods for facilitating isochronous IN communication include noting (1906) passage of a predetermined interval without communication (310) from the peripheral device driver (402), and then creating (1908) a dummy communication (312) and sending (1910) it over the network toward the peripheral device to maintain isochronous communication toward the peripheral device. Some methods for facilitating isochronous OUT communication include noting (2006) passage of a predetermined interval without receipt, over the network, of a responsive communication (310) from the peripheral device in response to a first communication, and then creating (2008) a dummy communication (312) and sending (2010) it toward the peripheral device driver to maintain isochronous communication transmissions toward the peripheral device driver.

Abstract: A reservation managing device 3 stores a demand for using a peripheral device 20a, if made by a network computer (NC) 10a, in a reservation list. A peripheral device server 1 releases, in response to an ending command from an NC 10n having used the peripheral device 20a, the use of the peripheral device 20a by the NC 10n. The peripheral device server 1 receives the ending command and permits the NC 10a to use the peripheral device 20a with reference to the reservation list. The peripheral device server 1 receives the data to the peripheral device 20a from the NC 10a having permitted, and gives the data to the peripheral device 20a. The peripheral device server 1 releases, in response to the ending command from the NC 10a having used the peripheral device 20a, the use by the NC 10a. By performing the reservation management and the cutting management, another NC is enabled, quickly after the end of the use of the peripheral device, to use the peripheral device.

Abstract: In a unit part of a lead frame for mounting a semiconductor chip, connecting leads and supporting leads extending from a lead frame main body toward a semiconductor chip mounting region are formed. Between each supporting lead and the lead frame main body, a movable part and a spring part for elastically supporting the movable part are disposed. The tip portion of the supporting lead connected with the movable part extends to the inside of the semiconductor chip mounting region in the natural state of the movable part, so that the tip portion butts against the side face of a semiconductor chip when the semiconductor chip is mounted. Thus, the semiconductor chip can be supported and fixed by using a bias force applied by the spring part. The base portions of the supporting leads, the movable part and the spring part do not remain in a package, and hence do not cause a stress in the package and do not increase the volume of the package.
