  • Publication number: 20240074716
    Abstract: According to one embodiment, an X-ray diagnosis apparatus includes a table, an imaging unit, and processing circuitry. The table includes a table top on which a subject is placed. The imaging unit includes an X-ray tube which emits X-rays to the subject and an X-ray detector which detects the X-rays. The processing circuitry detects contact between an object and at least one of the imaging unit and the table. The processing circuitry executes control to display contact position information relating to a position in contact with the object based on a detection result.

  • Patent number: 9893993
    Abstract: An LP table retains a combination of a physical port and a VLAN identifier in association with a logical port. When a frame is received at the physical port, a table processing unit acquires a logical port based on the LP table. An FDB processing unit learns a source MAC address contained in the received frame in association with the logical port acquired by the table processing unit to an FDB. A plurality of logical ports are set for the physical port by the LP table. A loop prevention unit prohibits frame relay between the plurality of logical ports set for the physical port.

  • Publication number: 20170093696
    Abstract: A logical port table retains a combination of a physical port and a VLAN identifier in association with a logical port. An FDB retains a correspondence relation between a MAC address and the logical port. When a frame is received at the physical port, a table processing unit acquires the logical port based on the logical port table. An FDB processing unit learns a source MAC address contained in the frame in association with the logical port acquired by the table processing unit to the FDB.

  • Patent number: 9264253
    Abstract: A network system has lower switches and upper switches connected to the lower switches. Each of the upper switches includes a connection information notifying means for notifying connected lower switch list informations each of which includes an identification information on each of the lower switches connected to each of the upper switches, to the lower switches connected to each of the upper switches. Each of the lower switches includes a comparison determination means for comparing the connected lower switch list informations notified by the connection information notifying means, in order to determine a connection state between the upper switches and the lower switches.

  • Patent number: 8948168
    Abstract: A network system includes lower switches and upper switches connected to the lower switches. Each of the upper switches transmits a first notification frame containing a connected lower switch number information indicative of the number of the lower switches connected to each of the upper switches, to the lower switches connected to each of the upper switches. Each of the lower switches configures a link aggregation group for ports which received the first notification frames each of which contains a maximum value of the connected lower switch number information among the connected lower switch number informations contained in the received first notification frames.

  • Patent number: 8787374
    Abstract: A network system includes a plurality of lower switches, a plurality of upper switches, and a link group for interconnecting the plurality of lower switches to the plurality of upper switches in a multipoint-to-multipoint relationship. The link group includes a sub-link for interconnecting the plurality of lower switches to the plurality of upper switches in a point-to-point relationship as one logical link and a main link for interconnecting the plurality of lower switches to the plurality of upper switches in a point-to-multipoint relationship as one logical link. The plurality of lower switches are each set such that a broadcast frame with a broadcast address set as a destination is transmitted to the plurality of upper switches through the sub-link. The plurality of upper switches each receive the broadcast frame and resister a source address contained in the broadcast frame into an FDB of the plurality of upper switches.

  • Patent number: 8737412
    Abstract: FSs (16a to 16h) are each connected to IFSs (14a to 14x). Each of the FSs (16a to 16h) transmits a setting frame (60) that includes an FS number to the connected IFSs (14a to 14x). Each of the IFSs (14a to 14x) registers, in an LAG setting table, the FS numbers included in the received setting frames (60) and ports that have received the same in association with each other. Then, each of the IFSs (14a to 14x) sorts ports (52a to 52h) in an order of the associated FS numbers, and sets each of LAGs (18a to 18x) in a common order.

  • Patent number: 8724450
    Abstract: A network relay system (10) includes a plurality of IFSs (14) and a plurality of FSs (16). The IFSs (14a to 14x) are each connected to the FSs (16a to 16h) through physical lines. In the IFSs (14), an LAG is set for ports connected to the FSs (16). The IFSs (14) and the FSs (16) transmit/receive a detection frame to/from each other, and when the detection frame fails to be received, it is determined that a failure has occurred within the network relay system (10). When one of the FSs (16) determines that a failure has occurred, the one of the FSs (16) transmits a failure notification frame to the plurality of IFSs (14), and each of the plurality of IFSs (14) excludes the port that has received the failure notification frame from the LAG.
