Abstract: A fluid flow field of a separator of a fuel cell stack allows a fluid to flow in a separator surface direction. A rubber seal member provides a seal between the fluid passage and the fluid flow field. The tunnel portion intersects the rubber seal member at an intersection. The tunnel portion allows the fluid flow field and the fluid passage to connect to each other. In the rubber seal member, a first portion protrudes from a flat portion in a stacking direction, and a second portion protrudes from a protruding end surface of a tunnel portion in the stacking direction.

Abstract: Communication terminals are used as display devices of contents. One of plural communication terminals inputs display control information for controlling the contents displayed on the communication terminals and arrangement position information of the communication terminal of control object, and transmits the information to an SMS server. The SMS server has a connection destination information storage area storing the arrangement position information of the plurality of communication terminals associated with telephone numbers of the communication terminals. The SMS server acquires one or more corresponding telephone numbers by referring to the storage area based on the arrangement position information. The SMS server creates a short-message including the display control information, and transmits it to the communication terminal with the acquired telephone number as a destination.

Abstract: The URLs and priority levels of a plurality of frequently accessed sites are stored beforehand in a user registration table in a communication channel switch. The communication channel switch stores the start time and end time of the latest access and the elapsed time at the site, in an access history table. The communication channel switch changes the priority levels in the user registration table in accordance with the length of the elapsed time. The communication channel switch collects video data from the sites prior to the time recorded as the latest access start time in the access history table, in accordance with the priority level in the user registration table, and stores the video data in a storage unit in the switch. When the user accesses a site included in the user registration table, the communication channel switch provides the site information in the storage unit quickly.

Abstract: A switching system for realizing integration of existing communication networks or interconnections thereof, and a switching control method. After a call is originated from an ATM communication network 101 to an STM communication network 102, an ATMIF 20 that has received a connection request signal (control signal) converts the control signal into a format of an ATM cell 1000, adds a header destined to one of SIG 50-1 to n for processing control signals, and then output the same. An ATMSW 10 performs self-routing based on header information. The selected one of the SIG 50-1 to n performs conversion for the ATM cell 1000 by a specified protocol, makes an ATM cell 1100 having a header destined to one of CLP 630-1 to k for processing control signals, and then output the same. Upon having received the ATM cell 1100, the CLP 630 links up with other processors to perform call connection control, functions having been dispersed among the other processors.

Abstract: A plurality of packet gate ways (PGWS) are connected between a mobile communication system and an internet so that the corresponding IP subnetworks to those PGWs may be built. A visitor location register (VLR) operates to notify the PGW of location information of the mobile station (MS) and an IP address of a data terminal connected with the MS. If the notified IP address belongs to another IP subnetwork, the PGW notifies the corresponding PGW to that IP subnetwork of a fact that the local PGW is a destination. The PGW operates to manage the location information of the MS connected with the data terminal based on the notified content and perform the packet routing based on the managed content.
