Abstract: A reception unit (210) receives an addition requesting frame for requesting addition of a new flow. A first search unit (241) performs, using a network-information database (280), a first search for searching for a schedule and a path assignable to the new flow without the schedule and the path of each existing flow being changed, when the addition requesting frame is received. A second search unit (242) performs a second search for changing the schedule and the path of each existing flow and searching for the schedule and the path assignable to the new flow, using the network-information database, when the schedule and the path assignable to the new flow have not been found by the first search. A response unit (260) transmits an addition responding frame.

Abstract: An inductance-type rotation angle sensor includes: a stator formed by printing an annularly formed magnetic conductor and a receiving conductor placed adjacent to the magnetic conductor on a glass-epoxy-resin substrate; and a rotor having an excitation conductor attached thereto in a manner opposing the magnetic conductor. In the sensor, a thermosetting-resin covering layer, which is connected together through a periphery of the substrate and a through-hole included in this substrate, is formed on both front and back surfaces of the substrate by molding; a portion of the covering layer covering the magnetic conductor and the receiving conductor is formed as a thin thickness part which is thinner in thickness than a remaining portion of the covering layer; and the stator is buried in a thermoplastic-resin control housing with the thin thickness part being exposed to an outside.
