Abstract: An antenna switching apparatus which detects an antenna of good reception with high precision and suppresses control errors in antenna switching. A comparator compares a noise component obtained from a selected antenna with a threshold for noise detection. When noise detection occurs a predetermined number of times within a predetermined time, an antenna switching control unit outputs an antenna switching control signal to switch to another antenna. If all antennas are switched within a predetermined time, a noise switching count analyzing unit outputs a sensitivity control signal, deciding that the threshold should be changed. A noise detection sensitivity setting unit, when supplied with the sensitivity control signal within a predetermined time, increases the threshold to lower the noise detection sensitivity of the comparator.

Abstract: It is an object to efficiently detect and analyze an error occurring on a channel of a digital data transmission multiplexing system with a small circuit scale and a low power consumption. A TU aligner for setting an AU pointer value to zero such that a J1 byte floating in an STM-1 signal is located next to the right one of three H3 bytes in an SOH and changing pointer values (V1 and V2) in each TU channel signal is arranged, and an error which is determined by analyzing each channel signal in the STM-1 signal processed by the aligner and a V5 byte as the POH byte in the signal is detected without demultiplexing the multiplexed STM-1 signal in units of TU channels and which is reported by means of an alarm.

Abstract: A device is disclosed for automatically collecting powder material displaced from between a belt conveyor and a chute which is disposed above the belt conveyor for feeding the powder material onto the belt conveyor, and for placing the collected powder material onto the belt conveyor. The device includes a) a duct device (10) disposed adjacent the chute and the belt conveyor for collecting powder material, b) a horizontally extending hollow cylinder (31) disposed above the belt conveyor, the cylinder having an air-flow inlet (33) which communicates with the duct device (10) and having a slit (34) at its bottom, the cylinder allowing an air flow from the duct device to pass along the inner surface of the cylinder, c) a blower (40) to suck air in the cylinder, and d) a chamber (35) disposed under the cylinder and having a weighted damper (36) at its bottom. When the blower is driven, an air flow is generated in the duct device.
