Abstract: To enable more precise synchronization of distributed clocks, before a high-level frame is converted to a low-level frame for transmission over a communication network, if the high-level frame includes a certain type of message, it is flagged. The flag is detected during the conversion process, and the time of detection is stored as a transmission timestamp. When a low-level frame is received from the network, it is immediately timestamped with the time of reception. The timestamped frame is then converted to a high-level frame, and if the high-level frame includes the certain type of message, the timestamp is stored as a reception timestamp.

Abstract: Provided is a viscoelasticity measuring apparatus in which an undesirable sample shape change such as a buckle caused as a result of thermal expansion of a sample is eliminated so as to prevent a deformation in a displacement detector direction due to the thermal expansion and a bending of the sample between a sample grasping member and a chuck, to thereby improve accuracy of measurement. In the viscoelasticity measuring apparatus, a thin part is provided in a part of an elastic arm for holding the sample so as to be easily deformed by a thermal expansion force of the sample. Thus, an undesirable shape change such as the buckle generated when the sample is expanded thermally is effectively eliminated, and necessary stiffness is maintained with respect to a load of the sample and hence accuracy of measurement is improved.

Abstract: A data relay device transmitting received unit data has an external interface unit, a main control unit, where the received unit data are received from outside the data relay device and transmitted to the corresponding destination memory not through the main control unit. The external interface unit is equipped with memory in the external interface, the threshold setting unit, and the external control unit. The main control unit receiving the threshold receiving notice reads the information in the corresponding field of the received unit data stored in the memory in the external interface and judges whether the received unit data should be transmitted, or not. The main control unit deletes the received unit data judged to be unnecessary before the transmitting.

Abstract: In a thermomechanical measuring device and a thermogravimetry device, partition walls are provided in two sections such that two kinds of atmospheric gasses, which have passed a sample chamber and a detector chamber, respectively, do not flow back, and a thermally insulated gas mixing chamber is manufactured anew in the middle of the sample chamber and the detector chamber to make it possible to dilute a reactive gas and a water vapor gas having a high partial pressure.
