Abstract: As a network control device which controls a call connection between a calling party terminal and a called party terminal, a network control device determines whether the own network control device is in a congestion state when a handover request is acquired from another network control device which is in the congestion state, and stops transmitting a busy tone to a mobile terminal which is the calling party terminal and transmits a ring back tone to the mobile terminal when it is determined that the own network control device is not in the congestion state.

Abstract: [Problems] To provide a method of purifying interesterified oils, which is capable of efficiently purifying the interesterified oil through a series of steps effectively solving a problem of decreased oxidation stability of the interesterified oil that is purified and a problem of color tone. [Means for Solution] Water is added and mixed into an interesterified oil of animal/vegetable fat and oil in an amount of 0.30 to 5.0 parts by weight per 100 parts by weight of the interesterified oil, followed by dehydration. Thereafter, a decolorizing treatment is conducted by adding an adsorbent thereto, and filtration is conducted to remove soaps, an alkali catalyst and the adsorbent contained in the interesterified oil.

Abstract: A dual TM-mode dielectric resonator apparatus comprises a dual TM-mode dielectric resonator consisting of two columnar TM-mode dielectric resonators (1) crossed inside a cavity (2); and a partition plate (3) providing a window for electromagnetic field coupling between an external apparatus and the dielectric resonator. The partition (3) is disposed on the side surface of the cavity (2) opposing the external apparatus and constituted by forming a first shield conductor (30a) on a first main plane (S1) of a dielectric sheet (50) and a second shield conductor (30b) on a second main plane (S2). The first shield conductor (30a) includes parallel slits (32) formed in parallel with the longitudinal direction of one of the TM mode dielectric resonators, while the second shield conductor (30b) includes slits (31) formed in a region substantially opposed to the first slits (32). Further, a plurality of such dual TM-mode dielectric resonator apparatus described above are combined to form a band-pass filter.

Abstract: An information processing apparatus having address expansion function for changing over the address width of instructions and operands comprises latch means storing therein an address mode and having contents updated in accordance with the address modes of succedding instructions including an instruction of branch destination for a branch instruction. When an address mode changeover instruction of branch type is executed, fetch of a train of instructions of branch destination in advance is performed in accordance with the address mode stored in the latch means, and operand fetch synchronized to instruction decoding is performed in accordance with the address mode stored in the latch means. Further, there is provided an operand refetch address queue for performing refetch in case operand fetch is not accepted by a memory. Corresponding to each refetch address of the queue, the address mode of that address is fetched from the latch means and stored.

Abstract: In the conventional virtual computer system, in order to provide the same access method for the host and the guest, there exists a great overhead for the operations to save and to restore the host resource at a change-over between the host and the guest. In the of the invention system, the same access method is provided for the host and the guest and at the same time the overhead is removed. The host resource and the guest resource are separately allocated. There is disposed a mode line indicating whether the present state is associated with the host or the guest. There is also disposed an access controller which operates such that when the mode line indicates the host, the host resource is accessed, and when the guest is indicated, the guest resource is accessed.

Abstract: Mask data in a PSW are latched and sent from a host to a guest are subjected to a logical AND operation with latched data taken from an intervention request field of a state descriptor of the guest machine. The resultant logical product is used for setting the PSW of the guest machine and activating an interception to the host. The overhead of an execution controller managing the state transition between guest-host machines is reduced.
