Abstract: According to one embodiment, an electronic apparatus for controlling an external device comprises a communication module, an operation module, a recognition module, and a controller. The communication module is configured to communicate with the external device. The operation module is configured to display a keyboard screen of one of a plurality of types on a display, and transmit a signal to the external device based on an operation on the keyboard screen. The recognition module is configured to recognize an attribute of an input space which is selected in the external device. The controller is configured to perform control to switch a type of the keyboard screen displayed on the display based on the attribute recognized by the recognition module.

Abstract: A monitoring node periodically transmits an active/inactive monitoring signal to selection target nodes. Upon receipt of the active/inactive monitoring signal, each selection target node calculates a current subscriber accommodated ratio, which is load information, creates an active/inactive monitoring response signal based on the load information, and transmits the active/inactive monitoring response signal to the monitoring node. Upon receipt of the active/inactive monitoring response signal from the selection target node, the monitoring node extracts the load information from the active/inactive monitoring response signal, determines the relevant acquisition ratio based on the load information, and performs the selection procedure of a destination node based on the determined acquisition ratio.

Abstract: A conductive connecting member is connected to electric wire with insulating coating by a fusing process so that electric continuity therebetween is ensured. The conductive connecting member includes a connecting section and a groove portion. The connecting section is formed by being bent so as to have an inner surface including a bottom surface and both side surfaces to be bonded to the electric wire. The groove portion is formed in the inner surface of the connecting section. The groove portion has a longitudinal groove extending in a direction of the inner surface intersecting with a longitudinal direction of the electric wire. The groove portion is positioned substantially at a center of the longitudinal direction of the electric wire. The groove portion may further have an inclined groove obliquely extending from the longitudinal groove or a transverse groove extending substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal groove.
