There is provided a sealing material for a thin plate member which eliminates the need to form seal grooves as in prior art when applied to a thin plate member such as a cell of a secondary battery such as a redox flow battery, a fuel cell and a lead storage battery, and which provides satisfactory sealing and can compactify and reduce in weight a device to be used and facilitate assembling with reduced cost as well as allowing more cells to be stacked resulting in improving fuel capacity. The annular sealing material for a thin plate member that provides sealing between thin plate members includes a lateral sealing body disposed on a lateral of the thin plate member, and a pair of sealing legs branching from the lateral sealing body in a fork shape and disposed on the front surface and the back surface of the thin plate member.

A data communication apparatus determines whether or not data are being transmitted, and receives the image data when data have been transmitted. Then, a plurality of address data of the sending side are obtained. Then, the obtained plurality of address data of the sending side are recorded in an address memory. Finally, the apparatus transmits its own plurality of address data to the obtained address of the sending side, and the reception process ends.

Multi-line communication apparatus and method of use

A seal for an endless track has a cross section having a centerline parallel to an axis of the seal and a configuration symmetric with respect to the centerline of the cross section. The seal can include an elastically deformably configured portion having a cross section like alphabetical letter X, and a protrusion extending from an intersection of legs of letter X in a bushing-side direction further than a plane connecting bushing-side end portions of the legs of letter X. The protrusion has an end surface where the protrusion contacts the bushing. The seal can further include an embedding portion embedded in a space between legs of letter X, on a bushing-side of the intersection of the legs of letter X.

The data communication apparatus of the present invention includes a CPU, operation panel, reading unit, image memory for storing read image data, resolution converter for converting stored image data to an optional resolution, telephone communication unit for transmitting data over a telephone line, network communication unit for transmitting data over an internet line, and a printing unit. The resolution converter converts fine detail data to low detail data and sends the low detail data to the telephone communication unit when transmitting data over the telephone line. In this way data reception reliably occurs simultaneously with data transmission. Thereafter, when fine detail request data including resolution data are received over the telephone line, the data are converted to the desired resolution, and sent to the network communication unit. In this way the apparatus attains excellent operationality since fine detail data are transmitted only as necessary.

Data communication apparatus

A data communication apparatus which first searches a plurality of addresses recorded for an input transmission destination. A communication line is selected which is suited to the set mode. Then, a check is made to determine whether or not the address is present for the set communication line from among the searched plurality of transmission destination addresses, and when the address is not present, the communication line having the next prioritized ranking is set. Then, this series of processes is repeated until the applicable transmission destination is present. The data communication apparatus transmits the data to the destination address when the address of the set communication line is present.

Data communication apparatus and method of data communication

When serial data , which includes synchronous data A and effective data B, is received, a hold signal is set at &ldquo;1&rdquo; and the PLL control is stopped while the effective data B is being received. As a result, low-cost, high-speed data transmission can be realized. Here, when one frame is composed of a start bit, the synchronous data A, and the effective data B, when the serial data is composed of a plurality of frames, and when the bit length of data that has been transmitted either between the rising edges or between the falling edges of the synchronous data of the consecutive frames is an integral multiply of the dividing ratio of a divided clock signal, phase synchronization by the PLL with minimum transmission period of the synchronous data can be realized. As a result, the efficiency of image data transmission can be improved.
