Publication number: 20020105693Abstract: An optical transmission unit and optical transmission system which have more efficient failure recovery functions to provide improved communication services, without increasing the size of network equipment. A control channel manager manages a control channel, as well as a control channel signal on that channel, for the purpose of failure recovery of optical signal transport. An optical switch fabric switches optical signal paths to perform protection switching between working facilities and protection facilities. A protection switching controller sends a switching command to the optical switch fabric, based on the information provided through the control channel.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 4, 2002Publication date: August 8, 2002Applicant: FUJITSU LIMITEDInventors: Masato Kobayashi, Hideaki Koyano, Kazumaro Takaiwa, Akio Takayasu, Maki Hiraizumi

Patent number: 5550977Abstract: A multi-media mailing method and system including a plurality of mailing centers in a network for handling facsimile, audio and text signals, wherein different mailing centers function independently of each other but hold information commonly while a utilizer can get similar mailing service from whichever center it accesses. When a temporary utilizer subscriber whose subscriber information is registered in a first mailing center accesses a second mailing center in which the subscriber information is not registered, the second mailing center transmits to any other mailing center, an inquiry whether or not the subscriber information of the temporary utilizer subscriber is registered. If the subscriber information is received from first mailing center in which the subscriber information of the temporary utilizer subscriber information is stored, the second mailing center temporarily stores the subscriber information to permit the access by the temporary utilizer subscriber by way of the second mailing center.Type: GrantFiled: May 18, 1993Date of Patent: August 27, 1996Assignee: Fujitsu LimitedInventor: Maki Hiraizumi
