Abstract: An IP telephone apparatus is provided. Before a status that transmission data can be transmitted to/received from the counter party of communication is established, a communication status measuring unit measures the communication status with the counter party of communication. A transmission rate setting unit sets a transmission rate of transmission data from a communication interface to a transmission rate corresponding to the measurement result from the communication status measuring unit on the basis of the measurement result. During a transmission time when the status that transmission data can be transmitted to/received from the counter party of communication is established, the measurement of the communication status by the communication status measuring unit and the setting of the transmission rate by the transmission rate setting unit, similarly to those before the status that transmission data can be transmitted to/received from the counter party of communication is established.

Abstract: An Al—Mg based alloy sheet product in which the crystallographic texture exhibits a ratio of the volume fraction of grains in the S orientation {123}<634> to the volume fraction of grains in the CUBE orientation {100}<001> (S/Cube) being 1 or more, and is comprised of grains with a volume fraction of about 10% or less in the GOSS orientation {110}<001>, wherein the grain size is in a range of about 20 to 100 &mgr;m demonstrates good formability.

Abstract: By careful control of composition and processing, Al—Mg based alloy sheets with preferred grain sizes and crystallographic textures that result in good press formability are disclosed. The Al—Mg alloy preferably contains 2-6 wt % Mg, and at least 0.03 wt % of at least one element selected from Fe, Mn, Cr, Zr, and Cu. The crystallographic texture is comprised of grains with a volume fraction in a range of about 30-50% in the CUBE orientation {100}<001>, and a volume fraction in a range of about 10 to 20% in the BRASS orientation {110}<112>, wherein the grain size is within a range of about 50 to 100 &mgr;m.

Abstract: Lubricants are provided which are aluminium or aluminium alloy plate moulding lubricants, and are lubricants which are easily removed after moulding of aluminium or aluminium alloy plate and assembly; also, bonding and welding can be performed while coated with those lubricants, and the bonding and weld strength obtained are the same as if there were no adhering lubricant. Their main constituents are a polyalkylene oxide or derivative thereof and a higher fatty acid salt. It is preferable if they contain 50 to 2 weight % polyalkylene oxide or derivative thereof, and the ratio of higher fatty acid salt and polyalkylene oxide or derivative thereof is within the range 1/12 to 1/4, and further that they contain water. When these lubricants are formed into a 0.2-2.0 g/m.sup.2 solid film on the surface of the aluminium or aluminium alloy plate, this is suitable for moulding processes.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a lubricant composition for press-forming an aluminum or aluminum alloy sheet at low temperatures. The composition contains a component (a): 45 to 90% by weight of one or more hydrocarbons selected from the group consisting of mineral oils, synthetic naphthenes, polybutenes, and poly(mono).alpha.-olefins, and component (b): 10 to 45% by weight of one or more C10-C24 linear or branched fatty alcohols. The ester value of the composition is not more than 70, and the kinematic viscosity is less than 20 cSt at 40.degree. C. When this composition is used in forming aluminum or aluminum alloy sheets, enhanced formability can be obtained, and shapes which could not obtained conventionally can be formed.
