Abstract: A multiplexed communication system for automatically setting up a multiplexed call circuit between exchanges upon occurrence of a call only when the multiplexed call circuit is required while otherwise releasing the multiplexed call circuit. The multiplexed communication system includes a plurality of exchanges, each of which includes multiplexing/demultiplexing apparatus for compressing and multiplexing data inputted from first input/output to thereby output the compressed and multiplexed data to second input/output ports and for demultiplexing and expanding data inputted from the second input/output to thereby output the demultiplexed and expanded data to the first input/output port, control information messaging apparatus for messaging control information, first detection apparatus for detecting occurrence of a compressible call, and second detection apparatus for detecting that all the calls connected to the first input/output ports have been released.

Abstract: The disclosed method and apparatus measures radial deviations along the axial length of a work roll with a number of axially spaced displacement detectors and at least three axially spaced motion detectors mounted ona detector mount that moves axially along the roll. A calculator responds to the motion detectors to determine errors in the motion of the mount to correct the output of the detectors and sums the deviators to generate overall deviations.
