Abstract: An optical communication apparatus includes a first monitor that monitors a first signal carried on a first polarization and outputs a first monitor value representing a transmission characteristic of the first signal, a second monitor that monitors a second signal carried on a second polarization orthogonal to the first polarization and outputs a second monitor value representing a transmission characteristic of the second signal, and a transmitting circuit that notifies a transmitting source of the first signal and the second signal of the first monitor value and the second monitor value.

Abstract: A transmission device includes a temporary storage unit that is provided for each port receiving input data, stores the data temporarily, and outputs the temporarily stored data in response to a read enable signal, a storage unit that performs time-division multiplexing on the data output from the temporary storage unit in response to the read enable signal and stores the data, a flow monitoring unit that monitors a data flow for each of the ports, and a control unit that selects a temporary storage unit that is a read enable target from the temporary storage units corresponding to the ports to which the data is input, by a weighted round robin system in accordance with the data flow for each of the ports, and outputs the read enable signal to the selected temporary storage unit.

Abstract: Crater-like intricate indents formed by melting and scattering of a metal surface are provided by irradiating with high density energy such as a laser beam or an electron beam the surface of the metal member. By using the irradiation condition that the crater-like indents have partially overlapped regions, gangue-like prominent portions formed by melting and scattering of the metal surface, a spherical metal splash formed at the top end of the prominent portions, and a roughed surface shape where particulate sputtering formed upon fabrication is secured. Thus, the molded resin intrudes into the constricted space formed by surface roughening to provide an anchoring effect against volume change of the resin in the direction where the resin is peeled from the surface of the metal member.

Abstract: For restricting a scale increase of a switch device using a shared buffer, segments are received at input ports with each phase being shifted and are each composed of a predetermined length data in which each data is connected in series by a predetermined number. The segments are written in shared buffers at the same address in sequence for each segment, where the shared buffers are provided in parallel by the predetermined number. The address for each output port set in each segment is stored each time the writing is performed and the stored address is referred to in the sequence for each output port thereby to read each predetermined length data based on the address referred to from each shared buffer. Each predetermined length data read is connected in series and outputted to each output port.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to an assembly structure designed to improve the process of accurately assembling an instrument panel supported by a steering support member in a vehicle. The assembly structure includes side brackets (16), (17) arranged to mount both ends of a steering support member (15) to a car body. Side bracket (16) includes an extended portion (20) provided with an instrument panel mounting seat (22), a car body mounting seat (23), and a side trim mounting seat (24). The upper side of an instrument panel (14) is mounted to the cylindrical portion of the steering support member (15) and the lower end portion thereof is mounted to the instrument panel mounting seat (22). The car body mounting seat (23) of the side bracket (16) is mounted to the car body, while a dash side trim (31) is mounted to the side trim mounting seat (24). Instead of mounting the instrument panel (14) so as to be directly coupled to the car body, it is mounted to the car body via the steering support member (15).
