Abstract: A virtualization management/orchestration apparatus is provided with: a Network Function Virtualization Orchestrator (NFVO) that reads a Network Service Descriptor (NSD) in which an entry defining dependency between a VNF and a prescribed element is provided, and creates the VNF and the prescribed element according to the dependency defined in the NSD; and/or a VNF manager (VNFM) that reads a Virtualized Network Function Descriptor (VNFD) provided with an entry defining dependency between a VM and a prescribed element, and creates the VM and the prescribed element according to the dependency defined in the VNFD.

Abstract: Provided a management apparatus including a maintenance mode setting unit that transitions a first virtualization infrastructure (NFVI0) to a maintenance mode, a mobility control unit that at least instructs a virtualization deployment unit (VDU) on the first virtualization infrastructure in the maintenance mode to move to a second virtualization infrastructure (NFVI1), and a maintenance mode release unit that releases the maintenance mode of the first virtualization infrastructure (NFVI0).

Abstract: A system includes a server that comprises a virtualization layer in which a hardware resource is virtualized, and a virtualization control apparatus. The virtualization control apparatus requests first information regarding the hardware resource to the server, registers second information corresponding to the first information acquired from the server, and uses the second information to control a network function (Virtual Network Function: VNF) implemented and virtualized by software operating on a virtual machine implemented on the virtualization layer.

Abstract: Surface Stability Ferroelectric Liquid Crystal Device having color filters assembled avoids, generation of alignment defect ocurring in the initial alignment control step by providing space of 0-5 microns between adjacent trapezoidal color filters having prescribed taper angle and thickness.

Abstract: A surface stability ferroelectric liquid crystal device has color filters with adjacent resin films. The resin films are provided by a first resin film and a second resin film, wherein the second resin film is formed with a resin solution having a viscosity higher than that of the first resin film.

Abstract: A chiral smectic liquid crystal color display device has plural non-overlapping color filters arranged at intervals such that 0.ltoreq.l/d.ltoreq.5 wherein l (.mu.m) is the interval between color filters and d (.mu.m) is the color filter film thickness.

Abstract: By use of specific color filters in Surface Stability Ferroelectric Liquid Crystal Device having color filters assembled therein, generation of alignment defect ocurring in the initial alignment control step could be avoided.

Abstract: A printing method is shown in which printing quality is improved when superimposed thermal-transfer recording is performed. According to the present invention, at least one of a plurality of thermal-transfer media is made of a material of different thermal characteristics from the remaining media. Different thermal-transfer media thermal characteristics are obtained by changing the thickness, melting point or viscosity of the thermal-transfer ink on the thermal transfer media, or by changing the thickness, quality of material or density of the base material of the thermal-transfer media.

Abstract: An image displaying device uses a thermal head to selectively create a magnetization pattern on an endless belt magnetic recording medium according to a signal applied thereto by heating the magnetic recording medium to its Curie temperature. Polarized light is then passed through or reflected from the belt and fed to an analyzer to obtain an image.

Abstract: The orthogonal conductors in a magnetic bubble display device each extend in only one direction across the magnetic medium and carry current in only one direction. Sector shaped recesses are formed between conductors for holding the bubbles.

Abstract: A printing system is provided which allows selected characters or symbols to be emphasized without increasing the density thereof. A video signal containing printing data for a character to be emphasized is delayed and logically added to an undelayed video signal to expand the "black" portion of the signal on the time axis.

Abstract: A recording and copying device capable of producing multiple copies from an original image using a single readout operation, while simultaneously being capable of reversing the image or shifting the image as desired. A photosensitive belt is provided having a light-shielding layer thereon capable of being fluidized or sublimated by heating. This layer is selectively heated by a thermal recording head, after which heated portions are removed by a transfer belt. The exposed photosensitive portions of the belt are then exposed and developed using toner particles, and the developed image transferred to a recording sheet.

Abstract: A transfer type heat-sensitive recording medium having a porous base impregnated with a colorless color former. A layer of thermally melting ink is formed on one side of the porous base. The first layer is brought into contact with a recording sheet. A layer of thermally melting wax containing a color developer is formed on the opposite side of said porous base and selectively heated according to a video signal. The wax melts and permeates into the porous base to allow the color developer to color on reaction with the colorless color former. The wax layer is further heated by thermal irradiating so that the ink of the ink layer is molten in correspondence to the coloring.

Abstract: A heat-sensitive printer is provided with an apparatus for effecting the stoppage of a travelling ink donor sheet as soon as a recording sheet can be separated therefrom of the printing, in order to economize the consumption of the donor sheet.

Abstract: In a heat transfer recording apparatus, the recording medium and ink donor film are drawn from separate sources and joined together only for the recording operation.
