Abstract: An accumulating device is capable of securely accumulating sheets or the like having dimensional differences on the basis of the rear ends in the taking-in direction thereof. In this device, a stopper advances from above to an advanced position between the tip end regulating wall and the rear end regulating wall and stops the tip ends in the taking-in direction of the sheets to be taken in, whose length in the taking-in direction is shorter than a maximum length. The stopper is supported movably in the vertical direction with respect to the advancing and retreating mechanism which causes the stopper to advance and retreat between the advanced position and the retreated position, and presses the sheets in the downward direction. The stopper stops the tip ends in the taking-in direction of the sheets having dimensional differences and allows the device to accumulate those sheets.

Abstract: A communication terminal apparatus and a communication intercepting apparatus performs a communication interception even on a communication network such as the Internet, an Intranet, or the like in which a communication route is not fixed. While the communication terminal apparatus is executing voice communication with another communication terminal apparatus, the communication intercepting apparatus transmits a monitor request signal to the communication terminal apparatus. When the monitor request signal is received, the communication terminal apparatus stores voice data which is transmitted to another communication terminal apparatus and voice data received from another communication terminal apparatus into a monitoring packet and transmits the monitoring packet to the communication intercepting apparatus. The communication intercepting apparatus receives the monitoring packet and reproduces the transmitted packets.
