Abstract: A multiple channel transit call control apparatus includes a transit message storage queue unit, a node message counter, a node transit trunk call opportunity message definition count memory, and a control unit. The transit message storage queue unit stores transit messages arriving at a storage and forward switching system according to destination node identity. The node message counter counts messages in the transit message storage queue unit according to destination node identity. The node transit trunk call opportunity message definition count memory defines the number of channels to be called for every predetermined count of the node message counter according to destination node identity. The control unit outputs a call request signal when the value of the node message counter exceeds a predetermined count stored in the node transit trunk: call opportunity message definition count memory.

Abstract: In order to increase performances of an iron oxide-potassium oxide system catalyst to be used for an alkyl aromatic hydrocarbon dehydrogenation reaction in the presence of steam, there is provided an alkyl aromatic hydrocarbon dehydrogenation catalyst wherein a little amount of titanium oxide is added by the mixing and kneading method or by the preceding addition to iron oxide in the production of the iron oxide-potassium oxide system catalyst to be used for the alkyl aromatic hydrocarbon dehydrogenation reaction in the presence of steam. The iron oxide-potassium oxide system catalyst is allowed to contain a little amount of titanium oxide, whereby an activity can be remarkably increased, as well as a selectivity in the same conversion ratio can also be improved in the alkyl aromatic hydrocarbon dehydrogenation reaction, and further the obtained catalyst exhibits stable performances with time on stream.

Abstract: In a wobble plate type compressor having a wobble plate that converts a rotational motion of a rotatable drive plate having a variable angle of inclination to a linear reciprocating motion of a piston, a method of controlling the wobble plate type compressor to control a displacement of the compressor by changing an angle of inclination of the wobble plate according to a pressure difference between a pressure in a crankcase chamber acting on one side of the piston and a suction pressure acting on the other side of the piston.

The control valve is opened and closed to control the above-mentioned pressure difference, thus controlling the angle of inclination of the wobble plate. An opening of the control valve is increased during a period in which the displacement of the compressor is to be reduced, according to a displacement rapid reduction command signal.
