Abstract: A mobile computer supporting system realizes communication even when a communication protocol address is to be dynamically changed due to movement of the computer, or the like. When a PC has moved, it notifies an AMS of a changed present address together with its home address. The AMS stores the home address and present address of each terminal, so as to correspond to each other, into an address correspondence table. When a PC sends and receives information to and from the PC, a socket hook processing of the PC acquires the information when the home address of the PC is added to the information. The socket hook processing inquires of the AMS of the present address of the PC using the home address of the PC, converts the home address of the PC added with the information to the present address obtained by the inquiry, and sends the information after conversion to a socket processing.

Abstract: A crushing machine having enhanced crushing efficiency. The crushing machine includes an outer casing having a fixed jaw and a movable jaw each having a crushing blade for crushing reinforced concrete. The movable jaw includes a crushing blade having a rear-side edge formed in a substantially right-angled shape with a small arcuate edge portion located at an angled edge portion thereof, and a front-side edge generally formed by a large arcuate edge portion. The rear-side edge of the movable jaw crushing blade is oriented to face in a longitudinally inward direction away from a distal end of the movable jaw. The inward orientation of the rear-side edge along with its substantially right-angled shape allow the movable jaw crushing blade to concentrate the load of the crushing machine to the small point of contact between the movable jaw crushing blade and the reinforced concrete, thereby maximizing the crushing efficiency of the crushing machine.

Abstract: A distributed information processing system which includes a server having a resume-request processor and clients having resume-request units or processor. An user at the client site operates a resume switch to save an operation state of the client in the server's magnetic disc, and resume it from the server's magnetic disc. The operation state includes contents of the main memory, contents of the display memory, values of the I/O registers for peripheral devices, and information about the file of the server being used by the application program run by the user. The user is able to use any client of the system in the same situation including a connection state between the file and the application program as before.

Abstract: A thermal transfer printer has a platen and a thermal head between which are pinched a transfer paper sheet and an ink film, so that the ink is transferred from the ink film to the transfer paper sheet as heat is applied to the transfer paper sheet by the thermal head. The film is supplied by a supply roll and is taken-up by a take-up roll. The thermal head is swingable between a position where it contracts the platen and a position away from the platen. When the thermal head is in the position away from the platen, the distance therebetween is greater than the maximum diameter of the supply roll. A film drum can hold a plurality of films each being constituted by the supply roll and the take-up roll. Swing arms are provided for demounting the supply roll of a selected film from the film drum and for bringing the same to a position away from the film drum, and also for returning the same from this position to the film drum.
