Abstract: A three-dimensional fabricating apparatus is configured to fabricate a three-dimensional object with a fabrication material fed at a speed component. The three-dimensional fabricating apparatus includes first correction circuitry, second correction circuitry and a discharger. The first correction circuitry is configured to perform a first correction to emphasize a component in a speed distribution of the speed component. The second correction circuitry is configured to perform a second correction to attenuate a component in the speed distribution. The discharger is configured to discharge the fabrication material fed at a speed based on a corrected speed distribution obtained by the first correction and the second correction.

Abstract: A fabricating system includes a discharger, a measuring device, and a control device. The discharger is configured to discharge a fabricating material to perform fabrication. The measuring device is configured to measure a physical quantity at least related to a discharge resistance arising when the fabricating material is discharged from the discharger. The control device is configured to control a supply amount of the fabricating material supplied to the discharger based on the physical quantity measured by the measuring device.

Abstract: In a wireless LAN system using an access point to perform access control for accesses from a plurality of client terminals, an access point and each of a plurality of client terminals have a transmission means using a data transmission carrier wave frequency and a control signal transmission carrier wave frequency; each of the plurality of client terminals has a memory storing priority information; when the data transmission carrier wave frequency is not sensed on the wireless LAN, data are transmitted to the access point at a relevant data transmission carrier wave frequency; when the data transmission carrier wave frequency is sensed on the wireless LAN, a band reservation request is sent to the access point at a relevant control signal transmission carrier wave frequency along with priority information stored in the memory; and after a transmission confirmation is received from the access point for the band reservation request, data is transmitted to the access point at a relevant data transmission carrier

Abstract: A communication method in a multicast communication network constructed including Layer-2 switches and able to selectively distribute multicast packets to only designated receiving terminals (i.e. receivers), comprising providing a multicast receiving terminal discrimination mechanism for discriminating the multicast receiving terminals and selectively distributing multicast packets to only receiving terminals requesting distribution of multicast packets when there are receiving terminal relating to requests under a Layer-2 switch.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a congestion controller, which suppress transmission traffic based on a traffic attribute in the event of congestion especially in a circumstance in which a plurality of Ethernet switches are connected. The congestion controller in the Ethernet switch comprises a plurality of transmission queues having different priority each other, a receiving unit for receiving a PAUSE frame, and a restriction unit to restrict transmission traffic from the transmission queue by the received PAUSE frame, wherein the restriction unit restricts the transmission traffic from a transmission queue of lowest priority by a PAUSE frame received at a time other than a PAUSE time and suppresses transmission traffic from a transmission queue of highest priority by a PAUSE frame received during the PAUSE time.
