Abstract:
A facsimile mail system including subscriber terminals, an exchange and a facsimile mail apparatus. Given a request from a subscriber terminal for connection to the facsimile mail apparatus, the exchange adds an originator identification number to that necessary information about a mail service which is entered from the subscriber terminal. The necessary information supplemented by the originator identification number is transferred from the exchange to the facsimile mail apparatus where the information is converted to a mail function code for internal processing. As per internally stored information, the facsimile mail apparatus decides whether or not to permit the connection. When the connection is permitted, a connection enable response is returned to the exchange. In turn, the exchange establishes a line connection between the subscriber terminal in question and the facsimile mail apparatus.
Abstract:
A fabricated desk comprising a top board and top board supporting members. The top board supporting members include paneled legs and drawer holding paneled frames. The top board and the top board supporting members are rigidly interconnected by locking devices interposed between locking mechanism mounting apertures provided on the underside of the top board and top board mounting parts provided on the top end of the top board supporting members.
Abstract:
A store-and-forward method for a fax mail apparatus for storing mail information being sent from a fax machine and transmitting the mail information to a designated destination in which the fax mail apparatus divides the received mail information by page, or predetermined size if the amount of data in a page exceeds that size, regards receipt of the first division unit as receipt of the entire mail information in the unit of one message, and, when receiving the first division unit, sequentially transmits the mail information by division unit from the fax mail apparatus to a destination fax machine.
Abstract:
A demultiplexer receives an MPEG1 system stream obtained by multiplexing encoded data of video and audio and separates the stream into elementary streams (ES) of video and audio. A packetizer forms packetized elementary streams (PES) of MPEG2. Finally, a multiplexer divides the stream into transport packets each having a prefixed length of 188 bytes and, after that, converts the stream to an MPEG2 transport stream (TS).
Abstract:
A facsimile mail system capable of investigating the nature of any facsimile mail system errors based on push-button signal designation or optical mark reader sheet designation, and of readily checking communication lines for line quality. The system comprises a line processing portion for making, receiving and terminating calls to and from a telephone exchange, and an access managing portion for determining if a call-requested facsimile mail service is to be honored. The facsimile mail system further comprises a designation managing portion for storing into a magnetic disk storage the information obtained from the push-button signal or from the optical mark reader sheet upon facsimile communication, and a designation verification command portion for using its commands to retrieve information from the magnetic disk storage and to display the retrieved information on a display unit.
Abstract:
An electronic mail processing device includes a magnetic disk with a control table. The device establishes a line between an originating terminal and a destination terminal designated by the originating terminal as a destination of electronic mail information and enters the destination into the control table provided on the magnetic disk as a wrong destination when the destination terminal performs no prescribed response operation to receive the electronic mail information. No electronic mail information is delivered to any of destinations entered into the control table. Thereby, once a destination is stored in the control table, a line is never connected to the destination terminal again, which prevents repeated wrong calls from being made to the same terminal.
Abstract:
An optical communication system including repeaters which return a preamble signal to the receive line as soon as it detects a carrier on the transmit line of a single line optical bus. Therefore, transmission equipment can confirm data transmission quickly because the time delay between data transmission and its confirmation is decreased. The repeater also monitors a time delay associated with the return through a return loop of the transmitted data, and produces and transmits a failure signal when the time delay is longer than a predetermined value. The system also includes an optical transceiver connected between the optical bus and the transmission equipment which converts optical signals into electrical signals and visa versa and also adds the preamble signal to the front of data to be transmitted.
Abstract:
A system provider has a data storing unit for storing at least one digital picture data block referred to as a minimum playback picture block (GOP: Group of Pictures) in each fixed-length area (for example, picture data for one second is composed of eight GOPs) and a detecting unit for detecting an address in the data storing unit for the picture data to be provided as playback picture data corresponding to a playback request received from a user.
Abstract:
A facsimile mail apparatus having a facsimile information mail service function for the purpose of improving efficiency of facsimile mail delivery including: storage portions for storing management information indicating correspondences between: a plurality of sending lines for connecting an exchange governing a plurality of facsimile terminals to the facsimile mail apparatus, and a plurality of sending line groups defined according to a predetermined condition; and a delivery management portion for determining a sending line group to be used when sending facsimile information to a plurality of facsimile terminals, by referring to the management information stored in the storage portion.
Abstract:
A printer and a method for printing hot melt ink in which an ink jet is surrounded by an enclosure and including a heater for heating the air within the enclosure. The enclosure has an opening so that the heated air can be directed towards a medium for heating the medium prior to ejecting droplets of hot melt ink onto the medium. The ink droplets cool and solidify into a shape having a low contact angle.
