Abstract: A first gateway registers an extension number of a terminal apparatus to an extension control means. A flow control means routes an outgoing call originated from the terminal apparatus and an outgoing call addressed to the terminal apparatus between the first gateway and a second gateway. When receiving the outgoing call originated from the terminal apparatus from the first gateway, the extension control means processes the outgoing call as an outgoing call from the extension number of the terminal apparatus. In addition, when an outgoing call addressed to the extension number of the terminal apparatus is made, the extension control means transmits the outgoing call addressed to the terminal apparatus to the first gateway.

Abstract: A three-dimensional modeled object to be manufactured by additive manufacturing includes a plurality of segments, a hinge structure that couples two adjacent segments among the segments, and a fitting structure including an external fitting portion and an internal fitting portion. The external fitting portion is configured to fit to the internal fitting portion. The three-dimensional modeled object is configured to be displaced between a folded position and an assembled position by the hinge structure. The assembled position is a position in which the three-dimensional modeled object is assembled from the folded position. The three-dimensional modeled object is held in the assembled position by fitting the external fitting portion to the internal fitting portion when the three-dimensional modeled object is in the assembled position.

Abstract: To enable provision of various extension services to a terminal apparatus connected to an external exchange. A first gateway (12) registers an extension number of a terminal apparatus (30) to an extension control means (11). A flow control means (13) routes an outgoing call originated from the terminal apparatus (30) and an outgoing call addressed to the terminal apparatus (30) between the first gateway (12) and a second gateway (14). When receiving the outgoing call originated from the terminal apparatus (30) from the first gateway (12), the extension control means (11) processes the outgoing call as an outgoing call from the extension number of the terminal apparatus (30). In addition, when an outgoing call addressed to the extension number of the terminal apparatus (30) is made, the extension control means (11) transmits the outgoing call addressed to the terminal apparatus (30) to the first gateway (12).

Abstract: Control pertaining to a notification and so on is performed without a user needing to carry out a troublesome operation prior to a notification. A notification control device includes an image analyzing unit that makes a first determination of determining whether a user is present in a predetermined location by analyzing image data of an image captured by an imaging unit, and a notification control unit that gives a predetermined notification to the user in a case in which it is determined in the first determination that the user is present in the predetermined location and refrains from giving the predetermined notification to the user in a case in which it is determined that the user is not present in the predetermined location.

Abstract: The object of disclosing the novel art consists in providing a highly reliable mesa-structured avalanche photo-diode using a novel structure capable of keeping the dark current low, and a fabrication method thereof. The avalanche photo-diode for achieving the object has an absorption layer for absorbing light to generate a carrier, a multiplication layer for multiplying the generated carrier, and a field control layer inserted between the absorption layer and the multiplication layer. Moreover, a first mesa including at least part of the multiplication layer and part of the field control layer is formed over a substrate, a second mesa including another part of the field control layer and the absorption layer is formed over the first mesa, the area of the top surface of the first mesa is greater than that of the bottom surface of the second mesa, and a semiconductor layer is formed over the part of the first mesa top surface not covered by the second mesa and the side surface of the second mesa.
