Abstract: A switch comprises a case having a stationary contact embedded in an inner bottom surface thereof, a lever housed inside the case such that the lever is swingable around one end thereof, and a movable contact having an arm portion and a contact point on a first end of the arm portion, the contact point being slidable on any of the inner bottom surface of the case and the stationary contact while maintaining flexible contact therewith in response to a swinging motion of the lever. The movable contact is also provided with a holding portion at a second end of the arm portion, and the holding portion is embedded in the lever by insert molding.

Abstract: In a mobile communication network comprised of a plurality of switching devices and a plurality of base stations connected to the switching devices, while a mobile terminal to wirelessly communicate with the base stations is in a communication by a soft handover, a terminal endpoint of a protocol for control of the soft handover is relocated in changing a switching device to another as a branch/combining point of data on a communication route of the communication.

Abstract: A radio data communications method capable of changing control points located in a network without causing loss of data when a mobile terminal is performing a soft handover. In the radio data communications method in which at least one of a first radio network controller and a second radio network controller performs a soft handover process for allowing a soft handover of a mobile terminal when the mobile terminal is performing soft handover, in downlink radio data communications in which the first radio network controller transmits data to a mobile terminal via a second radio network controller and a base station (or in uplink radio data communications). The first radio network controller or the second radio network controller performing the soft handover process is changed when the mobile terminal is performing the soft handover.
