Abstract: A switch device includes a plurality of communication ports; a switch unit configured to relay a frame, which has been transmitted from a function unit and to which information including an ID of a VLAN is added, to another function unit via a communication port; and a duplication unit configured to, when the diagnosis device is connected to another switch device, duplicate the frame to be relayed via a designated communication port among the plurality of communication ports, and generate a duplicate frame for diagnosis that is a frame obtained by adding, to a duplicate frame obtained through the duplication, specific information indicating that the duplicate frame for diagnosis should be transmitted to the diagnosis device. The switch unit outputs the duplicate frame for diagnosis generated by the duplication unit from a communication port corresponding to the other switch device.

Abstract: The present invention is intended to provide a storage facility using an automated carrying cart that is simplified in structure, and eliminates the need for a carrying means such as a conveyor or an unmanned carrying cart or a forklift operated by the worker. A storage facility 1 uses an automated carrying cart A that carries an article W in and out of a shelf facility 2 having an article storage space S. The automated carrying cart A automatically runs in the shelf facility 2 along running rails G in paths Q1 and Q2, automatically runs on the ground outside the shelf facility 2 along specific paths P1 and P2, and is used in common for carrying the article W in the shelf facility 2 and carrying the article W on the ground outside the shelf facility 2.

Abstract: An immunosuppressive agent which has low toxicity and which exhibits excellent effectiveness even if it is orally administered is presented. The immunosuppressive agent of the present invention is characterized in that it contains .delta.-opioid antagonist having high selectivity to .delta.-opioid receptor. The present invention also provides a process of producing a naltrindole derivative characterized by reacting naltrexone or a salt thereof with a phenylhydrazine derivative in a solvent in the presence of methanesulfonic acid.
