Abstract: In order to enable retransmission control without imposing heavy load on a transmitter/receiver device and a network, a communication device includes: a transmission data generation unit that outputs, as transmission data, communication data for which an increase in transmission delay is to be reduced; a retransmission confirmation data generation unit that outputs, after the transmission data is output, retransmission confirmation data a predetermined number of times at a first transmission interval; and a communication interface that assigns order information indicating a transmission order, to each of the transmission data and the retransmission confirmation data, and transmits, after the transmission data is transmitted, the retransmission confirmation data.

Abstract: A communication apparatus includes: a transmission unit including a narrow interval data transmission unit which transmits a predetermined plurality of sets of data at an interval narrower than a predetermined interval, upon receipt of a narrow interval data transmission instruction; and a reception unit including: a transmission data reception unit which receives data of an application of a communication partner, and issuing a notification each time the data is received; a data transmission interval reception unit which receives a time interval of data transmission from the communication partner; a data non-arrival detection unit which considers data not to be arrived, in the case where the notification has not been issued from the transmission data reception unit for a predetermined time period longer than the time interval received by the data transmission interval reception unit; and a narrow interval data transmission instruction unit which transmits a narrow interval data transmission instruction to the

Abstract: A contents playback apparatus and the like are provided which allow a user to promptly designate a desired portion when displaying a part of a content in an expanded manner, and are thus excellent in operability. A contents playback apparatus includes an associating unit and a playback unit. The associating unit generates association information for a plurality of characteristic portions contained in a content by referring to priority orders of the respective characteristic portions relative to each other, the association information associating each of the characteristic portions individually with a predetermined operation key of an input device included in the apparatus in accordance with the priority orders. The playback unit plays back, in response to detecting an operation of an operation key during display of the content, the characteristic portion corresponding to the operation key in an expanded display mode, in accordance with the association information.

Abstract: A call interlocking system according to the present invention includes a plurality of in-house control apparatuses each including, data relay means for relaying communication data between a telephone and a call control server and communication data between an information display terminal and an information providing server respectively, and interlocking means for determining whether or not it is possible to interlock a telephone call performed by the telephone with a service that the information display terminal requests to start, and for notifying, when the interlocking means determines that the interlocking is possible, a start request of the service including information for specifying the telephone call to the information providing server, and an information providing server that interlocks the service with the telephone call and provides the interlocked service based on the start request of the service notified from the in-house control apparatus.

Abstract: A method of simultaneously manufacturing a plurality of connectors involves:molding a resin to form a connector member assembly containing multiple connector members, each member having one or two opposite longitudinally elongated through-holes extending between front and rear faces of the member along opposite sides thereof;forming a first metal coating on the front and rear faces and on an inner surface of each through-hole;providing metal-platable and non-metal-platable regions on each first-metal-coated front and rear face;forming a second metal coating on the metal-platable regions to form conductive patterns and on each first-metal-plated inner surface to form a conductive inner surface;removing the first metal coating from the non-metal-platable regions to form non-conductive patterns;then detaching each connector member from the connector assembly, each detached member having one or two side faces containing the metal-plated inner surface of the one or two through-holes; andremoving the first and seco

Abstract: In a color image forming apparatus, a color document read by image inputting means is converted to RGB data and then to L*a*b* data. The L*a*b* data are subjected to image processing and then transformed to RGB data. Further, the RGB data are transformed to YMCK data. Image outputting means sequentially superposes color materials on a paper on the basis of the YMCK data, thereby reproducing the color document. Recognizing means recognizes a color rendering range for the L*a*b* data and a color reproducible range available with the outputting means. Data representative of the color rendering ranges of the inputting means and outputting means are stored in a data storage and supplied to the recognizing means.

Abstract: The present invention provides a molded electric part which does not include any lead wires and is preferably compact in size and light in weight. The molded electric part of the invention can effectively prevent deterioration of an electric element by molding the element with a resin. The invention is also directed to a method of simultaneously manufacturing a number of products having fixed dimensions and excellent electrical properties through injection molding with a multi-forming mold complex. A molded film capacitor (1) of the invention includes a film capacitor element (2) and an element-receiving body (3) mainly composed of a synthetic resin with high dielectric ability. The film capacitor element (2) is accommodated in an element-receiving recess (7) formed in a substantial center of the element-receiving body (3).
