Abstract: A terminal comprises a packet receiving unit, a packet sending unit, a link-state detecting unit that detects a link-up to a switching device, a configuration-change notifying unit, and a resource reservation table. When the link-state detecting unit detects a link-up, the terminal notifies network configuration information and network resource reservation information to a management device. When a link state is changed, the management device can immediately manage the network based on the latest network configuration information and the latest network resource information.

Abstract: Access points for supporting wireless communications, a packet transmission device, and terminals for handing-over between service areas are provided. An existing terminal is provided with respect to this access point for performing a Quality of Source (QoS) guarantee. Accordingly, when a new terminal is handed over to be engaged in wireless communications with this access point, the priority of the packet associated with the existing terminal and/or new terminal is changed.

Abstract: The communication system supports reservation of network resources. The base stations relay packets among the terminals, and perform priority control based on the priority set to the packets. In the terminal, the communication-managing table stores communication information of own terminal and a partner thereof. The packet-transmitting unit, setting priority to the packets, transmits the packets. When link condition of own terminal change, the link-managing unit updates, in order to prevent from quality deterioration of the other terminals, the priority of each of the packets whose source terminal is the own terminal.

Abstract: In language information translating device and method, registered vocabulary information pieces of plural users registered into a user dictionary registering unit are referred to, and when plural vocabulary information pieces having the same direction word exist, a direction word to be added to a basic dictionary is extracted on the basis of at least one of the number of registered vocabulary information pieces of the direction word concerned and the number of registered vocabulary information pieces that are registered vocabulary information pieces of the direction word concerned, the second language expressions corresponding to the registered vocabulary information pieces concerned being coincident with one another, and the basic vocabulary information of the extracted direction word is registered in the basic dictionary.

Abstract: A packet-relay unit 100 including a first interface unit (110), a second interface unit (120), and a function-setting switch (130). The second interface unit (120) includes a classifying unit (121), a priority control unit (122), and a transceiving unit (123). When the function-setting switch (130) sets a “QoS function” as “operative”, the classifying unit (121) transfers packets transferred from the first interface unit (110) to the priority control unit (122). The priority control unit (122) provides priority control over the transferred packets such that the transferred packets are preferentially treated at a wireless zone connected to the second interface unit (120), whereby the priority-controlled packets are transferred to a transceiving unit (123) from the priority control unit (122). When the function-setting switch (130) sets “the QoS function” as “inoperative”, the classifying unit (121) transfers the transferred packets directly to the transceiving unit (123).

Abstract: The automatic vehicle braking device is equipped with a braking force control processing portion which, based on the judgment result of a collision judgment processing portion and the judgment result of a steering avoidance judgment processing portion, imparts a turning property in a direction of head-on collision to the vehicle when the lateral position of the obstacle with respect to a travel route curve is large in a condition in which the driver is unconscious of a high possibility of collision between the vehicle and the obstacle and has taken no steering avoidance action yet. As a result, it is possible to reduce the speed of the vehicle and, at the same time, mitigate the damage suffered by the vehicle occupants at the time of collision.

Abstract: A justification/authentication personal certificate system stores in a remote database a counterpart of an identifier and a digital watermark contained in the personal certificate. The personal certificate includes the digital watermark embedded in an authentic image such as a facial photograph, a retinal scan, or a fingerprint. When the personal certificate is used, the authentic image is read from the personal certificate, and the digital watermark information is extracted. The digital watermark information and the identifier are compared with the counterparts stored in the database. If the extracted digital watermark information is identical to the information in the database, then the personal certificate is judged to be unjustifiable. In one embodiment, at least one of the identifier and digital watermark are changed each time the system justifies the personal certificate.

Abstract: A packet transmission apparatus transfers arriving packets directly to a highest-priority queue under non-congestion conditions, and classifies the priority of a packet only on the existence of congestion. In one embodiment, non-congestion is determined when all queues are empty. In another embodiment, congestion or non-congestion is determined by upper and lower thresholds on the total number of packets in all queues. The ability to omit classifying incoming packets in the non-congestion condition improves processing speed, and eliminates the need for re-queuing or packet-replacing operations.

Abstract: Access from a terminal of an outside network to a server of an inside network is put under control. A repeater and the server permit a packet transmission from the terminal to the server under limited conditions. When the server acknowledges connection for the permitted packet, the transmission conditions for packets to be sent to the server are loosened. After then, packet transmission between the terminal and the server is controlled under the loosened transmission conditions. As for encrypted packets, the server decodes the encrypted packets and notifies the relevant information to the repeater.
