Abstract: A means is provided for enabling easy identification of baggage in which one or more hazardous item is detected. An inspection system is equipped with a first conveyor, inspection device, cover, camera, controller and display. The first conveyor transports baggage to the inspection device. The inspection device captures transmitted-light images of the baggage using light that transmits through the baggage. The cover covers a transport path of the baggage to prevent a hand of a visitor from being inserted into an image shooting area where electromagnetic waves that are harmful to the human body are irradiated. The camera captures visible-light images of the baggage using visible light. The controller controls the first conveyor, inspection device, camera and display. Under control of the controller, the display simultaneously displays a transmitted-light image and a visible-light image of the baggage.

The imaging unit images a target object using signals in a predetermined wavelength band in which a spectral transmittance of a specific substance of a plurality of substances on a surface of the target object is different from a spectral transmittance of the other substances of the plurality of substances. The determination unit determines a distribution state of the specific substance on the surface of the target object based on an image captured by the imaging unit. The discrimination unit discriminates a class to which the target object belongs based on the distribution state of the specific substance.

Abstract: A transport system comprises a transport apparatus, which is used to construct a transport network using MPLS-TP; and a control apparatus for establishing a path in the transport network. The transport apparatus is coupled to a transfer apparatus, which is used to construct a transfer network using a network protocol different from an MPLS-TP protocol and uses the network protocol to establish a path in the transfer network in an autonomous distributed manner. The control apparatus and the transfer apparatus use the network protocol of the transfer network to transmit/receive, via the transport apparatus, control messages for controlling the transfer network. The transport apparatus avoids notifying the transfer apparatus of the fact that the control apparatus is not in a normal state, in a case where the path established in the transport network is determined as the normal state, even the control apparatus is determined as the abnormal state.

Abstract: A data transport system comprises transport apparatus and at least one computer. The transport apparatus construct a second network coupled to a first network which is constructed by a communication apparatus. A logical path is built between a first transport apparatus and the computer. The first transport apparatus is configured to: hold management information, which associates identification information of a port with logical path identification information; refer to the management information to identify the logical path identification information that is associated with the port through which the control information has been received; and assign the identified logical path identification information to the control information, and transmit the control information over the logical path.

A communication path with quality assurance of data communication is implemented in a communication network with a communication path calculation device having a communication path managing unit and communication path calculating unit.

Abstract: A communication device on a time equivalence assurance network that guarantees the receiving sequence of packets sent to all users so that even if a user session is re-sent, a function operates to alleviate the resultant effects and make the send and receive timing approach the initial timing. An edge communication device on a provider network identifies the sessions of each user subscriber terminal, and stores and monitors the time information attached by a sequence information attachment function. Even if a packet is resent, the packet will at this time be resent with attached sequence information based on the past time originally attached to the packet, and not sequence information based on the current resending time.
