Publication number: 20030188013Abstract: A service system in which a server offers a service in response to a request from a client. The system can offer the stable service even in the case of an access from the client and also can offer a preferential service under certain conditions. The request from the client to the server is carried out via a data communication forwarding apparatus, the apparatus has a unit for queuing the request with a priority and has a unit for changing the forwarding sequence of the request according to the priority. Thereby the number of simultaneous requests to the server can be suppressed to within the processing ability of the server with the stable service. Further, the request can be preferentially processed according to the user, transaction, wait time, etc.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 30, 2002Publication date: October 2, 2003Inventors: Takashi Nishikado, Yoshihiro Tanaka, Kansuke Kuroyanagi, Hideo Aoki, Fumio Noda

Patent number: 6578244Abstract: There is provided a direct-winding sample warper comprising: a warper drum; yarn winding means mounted on a circumferential surface of the warper drum so as to be rotatable circumferentially and movable longitudinally on the warper drum; a yarn selector provided in correspondence to the yarn winding means; and a plurality of parallel shedding means extending longitudinally and parallel each other on the side of the warper drum; wherein the yarn winding means is operable to directly wind at least one yarn, which is payed out from a creel on which bobbins are supported, around the circumferential surface of the warper drum. In the direct-winding sample warper, a yarn is wound directly on a warper drum by a yarn winding means without using a conveyer belt so that various inconveniences due to the conventional conveyer belt can be entirely eliminated.Type: GrantFiled: October 26, 2001Date of Patent: June 17, 2003Assignee: Suzuki Warper Ltd.Inventors: Yoshihiro Tanaka, Takatsugu Aihara

Publication number: 20030095560Abstract: A transmit packet generated by a CPU 1 is held in a buffer 100a (100b). From among packets received from Ethernet 820a (820b), a packet, a destination of which is a communication device 800, is held in the buffer 100a (100b). A packet which should be transmitted is transmitted from a transfer judging circuit 200 to Ethernet 820a or 820b through a MAC unit 300a or 300b. If a transfer judging circuit 200 judges a packet from the Ethernet 820a to be a packet, a destination of which is another communication device, with reference to a destination MAC address, this packet is transferred to the Ethernet 820b through MAC 300b. If a usage rate of a transferring FIFO buffer 130a (130b) exceeds a threshold value in the process of transmitting a packet held in a transmitting FIFO buffer 120a (130b) on a priority basis, the priority order of a transfer packet is made higher than that of a transmit packet so that the transfer packet is transferred to the Ethernet 820a or 820b in preference to the transmit packet.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 19, 2002Publication date: May 22, 2003Inventors: Hiroshi Arita, Yasuhiro Nakatsuka, Yasuwo Watanabe, Kei Ouchi, Yoshihiro Tanaka, Toshinobu Kanai, Masanobu Tanaka, Kenji Furuhashi, Tomoaki Aoki
