Abstract: A communication apparatus where transmission waiting time for an originating facsimile machine is shortened. A transmitter/receiver section of one of two communication control sections receives a transmission subscriber identification (TSI) signal from the originating facsimile machine. A determination new section extracts an international telephone number from the TSI signal and determines whether or not it coincides with a pre-stored international telephone number. If they coincide, the transmitter/receiver section receives an object signal in succession, otherwise the transmitter/receiver section ends the receiving operation without receiving the object signal.

Abstract: A communication system serving as a transmitter terminal and a receiver terminal for communications with a second communication system via a communication line, the communication system includes a storage section for data storage; a communication section for data communications, the communication section being adapted for reception and transmission of data and size information indicative of the size of the data with respect to the second communication system; a detection section for detecting a free space in the storage section; a comparing section for comparing the data size contained in the size information with the size of the free space in the storage section; a calculating section for, if the storage section is short of free space for accommodation of the data size, calculating a waiting period required for recovery from the shortage of the free space in the storage section; and a timer section for timing the lapse of the waiting period.

Abstract: A conventional facsimile machine re-dials by using another telephone line after an elapse of a predetermined period of time since when a communication error after a line connection has occurred, so that it takes a predetermined period of time to re-dial by using the other telephone line, and hence a receiving end may receive data transmitted from another facsimile machine during this period. In order to prevent that, a facsimile machine of the present invention comprises: a plurality of line connecting means, each of which has a telephone line for transmitting/receiving data; a line selecting section for selecting a telephone line to be used when a plurality of telephone lines are connected; and an auto-dial sending section for changing over the telephone line currently selected by the line selecting section to another telephone line so as to make a call immediately, when the receiving end is busy.

Abstract: A process for preparing methylamines is disclosed herein which comprises the step of reacting methanol with ammonia in the presence of a mordenite in which the ratio of the length of mordenite crystals in a c axis direction to that of the mordenite crystals in an a axis direction or a b axis direction, c/a or c/b is 2 or more, whereby the synthetic activity of the methylamines can be maintained at a high level, and the production ratio of trimethylamine can be inhibited to a low level of about several percent to predominantly produce dimethylamine and monomethylamine.

Abstract: The invention relates to a flat knitting machine capable of obtaining a high quality knit fabric excellent in knitting property (ease of knitting), by variably adjusting the knock-over timing when knitting, depending on the characteristics of knitting threads and knitted texture of the knit fabric. The characteristics of the knit fabric depends upon the sinkers which have at least one aperture near a tip end of the sinkers. A knitting thread stopping wire rod is passed through one aperture near the tip end of the sinker. The knit fabric depends upon which aperture near the tip end that the knitting thread stopping wire rod is passed.
