Abstract: Provided is a method of manufacturing an electric wire with terminal formed by connecting a first core exposed portion of an electric wire to a metal terminal having a box portion that is formed by processing a single conductive board into a box shape and has an opening in which a counterpart terminal is inserted, and a spring inside the box portion. After laser-welding opposed portions where parts of the single conductive board forming the box portion are opposed to each other, applying ultrasonic vibration to a second core exposed portion of the electric wire is executed.

Abstract: A blending evaluation device includes: a communication interface that receives evaluations of a blended beverage in which a plurality of beverage raw materials are blended, each of the evaluations being made by a user who drank the blended beverage; a memory that stores the evaluations, each evaluation being associated with environmental information related to an environment in which the user drank the blended beverage; and a controller that performs statistical analysis of information on the evaluations, wherein the communication interface receives a condition that specifies the environmental information; the controller retrieves, from the memory, at least one evaluation associated with the environmental information specified by the condition, and performs statistical analysis of the retrieved at least one evaluation, and the communication interface transmits a result of the statistical analysis.

Abstract: The present invention discloses a technique for providing a packet recovery method, and the like, capable of starting packet recovery processing without waiting for a wasteful latency (time-out) at a mobile terminal by giving notice of information on a packet discard in a gateway device in real time, thereby enabling improvement in communication quality and communication efficiency.

Abstract: When a mobile terminal transmitting/receiving a packet using a plurality of IP address types performs a handover to an access network (single address type connection network) permitting transmission/reception of a packet using a single IP address only, an IP address not permitted is unfortunately discarded at an access network as a handover destination. Disclosed is a technique configured so that a mobile terminal (UE 1) detecting a handover to the single address type connection network establishes a temporary connection with a mobility management gateway (PGW 5) and thereafter acquires an address of an ePDG 8 located at a core network and informs the ePDG of a communication state before the handover via a PDN using the temporary connection. The ePDG informs the PGW of the communication state of the UE before the handover. Thereby, the communication state of the UE before the handover is achieved with the PGW via the ePDG and the PDN.

Abstract: Disclosed is a technique for reducing the number of event report messages sent from many communication nodes (MTC devices). Upon detecting an event (smoke detection by a smoke sensor), an MTC device A 100A sends an event report message to an MTC server 150. By receiving the event report message, the network recognizes the event detection by the MTC device, and sends a reverse event report message to a plurality of MTC devices by, for example, broadcasting. The reverse event report message instructs not to send a report message in a high priority mode even in the case of detecting the same event (smoke detection) or detecting another event (flame occurrence or the like) caused by an incident (fire occurrence) that causes the former event (smoke detection). This can suppress sending of a subsequent redundant event report message.

Abstract: Disclosed is a technique in which when mobile terminal having multiple communication interfaces attaches to an access network, the mobile terminal can connect to a desired PGW quickly in a short time even if a PGW different from the desired PGW is allocated. According to the technique, when a mobile terminal (UE) 1 performs bootstrapping (BS) processing on an access network (N3G access (3)), the address of another communication interface (home prefix) already connected to the desired PGW (T-PGW?5b) is notified to a connection destination PGW (I-PGW 5a). If the I-PGW does not manage the address, processing is so performed that BS processing will be started from the T-PGW managing the address to the mobile terminal. Further, if the mobile terminal is connected to an I-PGW undesired on the N3G access, a request is made for reuse of a key exchanged with the I-PGW upon switching the connection from the I-PGW to the desired T-PGW.
