  • Patent number: 6816587
    Abstract: A virtual private line connection method allowing efficient and economical virtual private line service in the public ISDN is disclosed. When a SS7 (common channel signalling system No. 7) message is generated in response to a call originated by a terminal accommodated in a PBX, the SS7 message is encapsulated in an ISDN message and the ISDN message is sent to the destination PBX on a D channel. When the destination PBX receives the ISDN message, the SS7 message is read from the received ISDN message to establish the virtual private line between the PBXs.

  • Patent number: 6625178
    Abstract: In a private branch exchanger which is connected to an ISDN network, a virtual private line information table stores information indicating channels corresponding to virtual private lines in units of routes. An identifying unit determines a route in response to an event, refers to the virtual private line information table based on the determined route to determine a specific one of the channels corresponding to the virtual private lines for the determined route. Also, the identifying unit determines whether a connection of a specific virtual private line corresponding to the specific channel to an ISDN network is established. When the specific channel corresponding to a specific virtual private line is usable, the identifying unit issues a communication instruction. A communication unit performs communication using the specific channel corresponding to the specific virtual private line in response to the communication instruction.

  • Patent number: 6460456
    Abstract: A stamp making apparatus of the invention makes a stamp plate on a stamp material by applying light thereto through a draft sheet. The stamp making apparatus includes an attachment that can be attached to and removed from a predetermined position facing the draft sheet and has a mounting hole where a holder having a stamp material can be inserted into and removed from. A plurality of mounting holes are formed in the attachment so that the holders having various types and shapes can be inserted into and removed from directly or via an auxiliary attachment. Further, the attachment includes a first adjusting device, which moves the mounting hole in a longitudinal direction of the draft sheet (in the Y direction), and a second adjusting device, which moves the mounting hole in a lateral direction (in the X direction), so that the position of the mounting hole in the attachment can be finely adjusted.

  • Patent number: 6440549
    Abstract: A printing sheet used in a stamp includes a porous layer in which ink can be impregnated and a fibrous layer provided to a side of the porous layer opposite to the pattern. The porous layer carries a pattern on a surface thereof, the pattern including a non-print portion which blocks the permeation of the ink and a print portion which allows the permeation of the ink. The fibrous layer prevents the deformation of the porous layer. The fibrous layer is so constituted that ink can be impregnated therein.

  • Patent number: 6311618
    Abstract: The disclosed invention is a stamp unit that includes a holder member having an end. A stamp material is made of a porous material retained by the holder member. The stamp material has a front surface projected form the end of the holder member and a circumference portion. The front surface includes an effective stamp surface that includes a stamping portion and a non-stamping portion. The circumference portion is defined at least by an area existing between positions corresponding to the end of the holder member and the effective stamp surface, within an exposed area of the stamp material from the holder member, the area being entirely covered by a sealant.

  • Patent number: 6112662
    Abstract: A stamp unit 1 is formed so that the circumference of the stamp material 3 is made as a slant surface 83 by heat-pressing both the lower end 4a of the holder 4 and the circumference of the stamp material 3. The lower end 4a of the holder 4 is formed in a wedge 82 so as to hook the circumference of the stamp material 3. Thereby the stamp material 3 can be surely retained to the holder 4, and the stamp material 3 and the holder 4 can be firmly sealed. As a result, stamping durability is remarkably improved when many stamping operations are repeated.

  • Patent number: 6030743
    Abstract: A method for manufacturing a pattern sheet for plate-making capable of easily forming a positive image through the use of a photographic negative film. In this method, as a first step, a negative film with a printed negative image is placed on a surface of a light transmission sheet carrying a photosensitive color-developing layer containing a photosensitive color-developing material which makes a color development in response to light. Further, as a second step, the light is applied thereto from the negative film side after the first step. As a result of the application of the light, a color development takes place in the photosensitive color-developing layer due to the light passing through the negative image, thus causing a positive image to be formed on the surface of the light transmission sheet.

  • Patent number: 6015108
    Abstract: A crusher which is simple in structure and capable of dismantling a building structure and recovering iron material from among dismantled remains of a building. A movable jaw is provided so as to be opened and closed relative to a fixed jaw fixed to the crusher main frame. A magnetic case made of a nonmagnetizable material is provided on the bottom of the main frame. A permanent magnet assembly is slidably mounted in the case. The permanent magnet assembly is connected to a hydraulic cylinder for sliding the permanent magnet. By actuating the hydraulic cylinder, the permanent magnet will move down so that iron material is attracted through a bottom plate of the magnet case. By raising the permanent magnet assembly, the magnet weakens, so that the attracted iron material drops by gravity.

  • Patent number: 5996493
    Abstract: A stamp unit has a transparent film which protects a stamp surface of the stamp material at the time of transportation of the stamp unit, during storage until a user starts to produce a stamp after purchasing the stamp unit, and during production of the stamp plate. The transparent film is thermally adhered on the lower edge of the holder member and is capable of protecting the surface of the stamp material until the start of the stamp printing. The transparent film is capable of easily and economically adhering to the stamp material without adhering to a thermal adhesion jig.

  • Patent number: 5974969
    Abstract: A stamp unit capable of opening an ink pack position between a grip member and a holder member for supplying ink to the stamp material easily in one step. To supply ink to the stamp material, the grip member is pressed downwardly with the ink pack located in the holder member. The ink pack in the holder member is pressed between a thick paper plate and a cutting rib to be opened. Ink from an ink pack flows downwardly through ink holes to be supplied to the stamp material. When the ink runs low, it can be replenished by the simple process of replacing the ink pack.
