Abstract: A digital subscriber line transmission (xDSL)-, system includes a transmitting side which transmits training symbols by adding some data that is contained in a training symbol sequence onto at least one of the beginning and the end of this symbol sequence and then transmits the training symbol sequence. A receiving side removes the data that has been added onto the training symbol sequence and executes training processing. The length of the training symbol sequence and of a transmit symbol sequence at time of normal communication is set in such a manner that the symbol sequence will not fall within an interval in which effects of near-end crosstalk from a neighboring line are received. The data added to the training symbol sequence specifies an interval in which effects of the crosstalk are received.

Abstract: A Ce—Zr mixed oxide is employed as an oxygen storage component for a lean-NOx catalyst, and catalytic precious metal atoms are placed at and/or between crystal lattice points of the mixed oxide. This structure prevents the sintering of the precious metal and accelerates movement of oxygen ions in each of crystallites of the Ce—Zr mixed oxide to increase the oxygen storage/release amount of the mixed oxide, which enhances the NOx removal performance of the catalyst.

When the subscriber communication machine cannot keep synchronization with a transmission cycle in a predetermined transmission system such as TCM in steady communication, it is possible to promptly resume the communication without the necessity for initializing all over again.

Abstract: When training carried out prior to data communication is performed in digital subscriber line transmission (xDSL), the side which transmits training symbols adds some data that is contained in a training symbol sequence onto at least one of the beginning and end of this symbol sequence and then transmits the training symbol sequence. The receiving side removes the data that has been added onto the training symbol sequence and executes training processing. The length of the training symbol sequence and of a transmit symbol sequence at time of normal communication is set in such a manner that the symbol sequence will not fall within an interval in which effects of near-end crosstalk from a neighboring line are received.
