Abstract: The present invention provides a jewelry storage system. The jewelry storage system includes: a resilient base; one or more rows of one or more jewelry support members coupled to the upper surface of the resilient base; and an optional frame coupled to the resilient base. Methods of storing jewelry are also provided.

Abstract: The present invention provides a jewelry storage system. The jewelry storage system includes: a binder; one or more panels each having a first surface, an interior space, and a second surface, wherein the one or more panels are operatively coupled to the binder: and one or more jewelry holders attached to the first surface of the one or more panels, the second surface of the one or more panels, or a combination thereof.

Abstract: A communication processing apparatus appends group information representing a group to received communication frames. Group information to be appended to the communication frames is changed on a predetermined cycle. The communication frames processed in each processing unit are counted separately for each of the group information appended, and the count value is collected in each processing unit. With a communication processing apparatus, such as a switch and a router, which has a plurality of processing units (device), performs processing by each of the processing units on the communication frames received from a receiving unit, and transmits the processed communication frames from a transmitting unit, it is possible to realize a communication processing apparatus and a totalizing system capable of accurately counting and collecting the communication frames while performing an operation when totalizing the number of communication frames processed in each of the processing units.

Abstract: A frame forwarding apparatus comprises a receiving unit receiving a frame including a source address, a destination address and a VWAN identifier; a converting unit converting a VWAN identifier in the frame into one of degenerate VWAN identifiers that the number of adoptable values thereof is smaller than the number of VWAN identifiers; a storage unit containing at least one entry containing the source address in the frame, a degenerate VWAN identifier that a VWAN identifier in the frame is converted, and path information representing a path via which the frame is received; a retrieving unit retrieving, from said storage unit, an entry corresponding to the destination address in the frame and the degenerate VWAN identifier in the frame; a restoring unit restoring the degenerate VWAN identifier in the frame into the original VWAN identifier; and a transmitting unit transmitting the frame based on the path information in the entry retrieved.

Abstract: An evaluation criterion that evaluates a comparison result of a bandwidth before a bandwidth limitation and a bandwidth after the bandwidth limitation is selected and set in advance in a layer 2 (L2) switch device according to the present invention. An input packet is subjected to the bandwidth limitation and then output. The bandwidth before the bandwidth limitation and the bandwidth after the bandwidth limitation are constantly compared. Next, based on the preset evaluation criterion, the comparison result of the bandwidths is constantly evaluated. The evaluation result is output in real time to an input/output terminal such that the evaluation result can be displayed. When the bandwidth that is limited via the bandwidth limitation exceeds a maximum value of an admissible packet-dropping bandwidth that is set in advance, the excess is notified to a user in real time and the user can take quick countermeasures.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a portable terminal apparatus having a novel surface lighting portion which can appeal to user's vision intensively and variously and can effectively make the notification of incoming calls or the like by means of light. The portable terminal apparatus includes a housing, a surface lighting portion provided on the outer surface of the housing, and a panel member detachably mounted on the housing so as to cover the surface lighting portion. At least a part of the panel member is transparent or semitransparent. The surface lighting portion has a flat outer surface, and the panel member is a flat plate like member, wherein the housing has a device for holding the flat plate like member placed on the flat outer surface of the surface lighting portion. The whole of the surface lighting portion is illuminated upon receiving an incoming call, for example, and the panel member is also illuminated according to a pattern formed thereon.

Abstract: A path protection method is disclosed that is capable of path protection without extra cost and able to improve path switching efficiency. The method includes the steps of associating a virtual network identifier assigned to one or more users with a virtual network identifier for management, the virtual network identifier assigned to one or more users being regarded as one path to set a path for current use and a spare path; and when switching the currently-used path and the spare path, according to service class information included in the virtual network identifier for management, a path corresponding to a virtual network identifier for management having a higher service class than other paths is preferentially switched to.
