Abstract: Even if domestic roaming setting is ON (domestic roaming setting flag is ON) (YES in step 2h), it is discriminated on the basis of information transmitted from the other carrier network whether the mobile radio terminal is permitted to execute roaming and whether the other carrier network permits the own carrier network to execute the roaming (step 2m). If the roaming is not permitted, the roaming setting is turned OFF (step 2n) and, after that, the other carrier network is not searched (NO in step 2h).

Abstract: In the present invention, when there is incoming voice call notification from the network in an active state (i.e. in a period in which the packet data is actually transmitted and received and in a period passing until the time when clocking interval time T0 is finished) while a line for packet transmission is held, incoming-call-in-packet-transmission controlling means makes a response of rejecting the incoming voice call. When there is incoming voice call notification in a standby state (i.e. in a period other than the periods of the active state), the incoming-call-in-packet-transmission controlling means makes a response of receiving the incoming voice call.

Abstract: A control unit transmits address area designation information designating an arbitrary bit position in ID data. At least a response unit transmits a response signal with an error detection code attached to predetermined information in the unique information held in itself by means of a time slot determined by the address area designation information and the ID data of the particular response unit. The control unit checks for the presence or absence of an error of the information in each time that has arrived, fetches only the response signal free of error, and transmits the error presence-absence information indicating the inspection result. Further, in the case where there exists a time slot having an error, the control unit transmits new address area designation information.

Abstract: Since a transmission route is set in accordance with the number of relaying broad band switching nodes present between two terminating nodes of a plurality of broad band switching nodes, a through-put characteristic, an affecting degree due to occurrence of a defect, the traffic of the entire network is distributed. In addition, when the system is started up, transmission routes with a minimum band width necessary for routing control have been set in all the broad band switching nodes. Whenever a call takes place, a transmission route is set and the band width is variably set by using an intelligent inference mechanism. Moreover, an intelligent distributed control for distributing such an intelligent inference mechanism in the broad band switching nodes is used. Thus, the load of processing a call can be decreased, while the reliability of the network and the improvement of the operating efficiency can be achieved.

Abstract: An exchange system includes a plurality of terminal devices, a plurality of interface devices for transmitting signal data and control data among the terminal devices and the interface devices on the basis of a two way bidirectional burst transmission system, and a control circuit which assigns a time slot to a PCM highway according to control data transmitted through a control highway from one of the interface devices, and transmits within the assigned time slot the signal data through the PCM highway to a selected one of the interface devices, through the PCM highway. Each of the terminal circuits generates 2-bit mode data representing the type of the terminal device. The control circuit assigns one or two time slots to the PCM highway according to the mode data.

Abstract: This disclosure relates to a simple mounting structure for a dental X-ray apparatus. The structure is used in combination with a substantially horizontal treatment bed in such manner that irradiation tube of an X-ray head is designed to take a correct position with respect to the mouth region of a patient lying on the treatment bed with his head resting on the headrest of the bed. The structure includes the treatment bed, an X-ray head support connected to one side of the bed and made up of an assembly of a plurality of hollow tubes adjustable in length in the three-dimensional directions of length, width and height of the bed and an X-ray head mounted at the end of the support and swingable in a back-and-forth direction with respect to an axis of the irradiation tube. The irradiation tube is mounted on the X-ray head and movable toward and away from the mouth region. The structure permits simple and correct positioning of the X-ray apparatus with respect to a patient lying on the bed.

Abstract: This disclosure relates to an occlusion pressure image display system which is designed to make visual display of the output signals of the occlusion pressure sensor in the form of a black-and-white or color brilliance image on a CRT screen. The system comprises in combination, a novel occlusion pressure sensor designed to convert information on the occlusion pressure of the teeth into electric signal output by mere biting with the teeth and a raster scanning type CRT display.

Abstract: The disclosure relates to an occlusion pressure sensor of the construction in which pressure sensitive block changing in electric characteristic under external pressure are arranged in multiple rows. The occlusion pressure sensor is designed to detect an electric signal responsive to occlusion pressure from the pressure sensitive blocks by successively and electrically scanning the blocks in the state of a patient engaging his teeth.

Abstract: A mark position detecting apparatus including a pattern signal generating circuit, a presettable counter, a detector circuit, a first register, a memory device, a second register, a divider and a control signal generating circuit. The pattern signal generating circuit produces a pattern signal corresponding to a pattern region of a document to be delivered. Based on the pattern signal, the presettable counter counts clock pulses corresponding to the distance between first and second reference marks. The detector circuit detects a mark signal contained in the pattern signal corresponding to the mark and the first register stores the count data of the presettable counter. The memory device stores the number of mark columns in the pattern region and is coupled to the second register. The divider is connected to the first and second registers so as to divide the count data of the first register by that of the second register and produces data which shows the position of the column containing the mark.
