Abstract: The invention provides a communication network system which permits parallel access of a plurality of nodes to a transmission line and which has a high throughput and low delay, with fairness among the nodes maintained. In the communication network system, a plurality of tokens correspondingly associated with the nodes, respectively, are allowed to circulate on the transmission line. Each node is allowed to transmit data only when the frame insertion buffer is empty. The node, when having data to be transmitted, awaits the arrival of a token. If a token that has arrived corresponds to the self node, or if a node corresponding to the arrived token is downstream of the destination node as viewed from the own self node, the node forms a packet from its holding data and transmits it onto the transmission line.

Abstract: In order to electrically connect the projecting electrodes of an LSI with a given wiring pattern on a circuit substrate, at least a portion of the electronic part is covered with a heat-shrinkable film member which in turn is fixedly mounted on the circuit substrate by adhesive at the opposite side or all the sides of the heat-shrinkable film member. When the heat-shrinkable film member is heated, the shrinkage of the heat-shrinkable film member presses the LSI against the circuit substrate under pressure. Thus, the bumps of the LSI can be electrically connected with the wiring pattern on the circuit substrate. Therefore, the LSI can be easily mounted on the circuit substrate or replaced by a new one.
