According to an embodiment, a communication control device includes a communication interface, a memory and a processor. The communication interface communicates with an information acquisition apparatus and an inspection apparatus. The memory stores information of the parcel acquired from the information acquisition apparatus, and an inspection result in each of the stages for the parcel, the inspection result being acquired from the inspection apparatus. The processor extracts, as a target parcel, a parcel with respect to which information designated for searching information stored in the memory agrees with part of the information of the parcel stored in the memory, and causes a display device to display a present position of the target parcel, based on the inspection result in each of the stages for the target parcel.

A UE reports an ECGI of a target eNB/gNB missing an X2/Xn interface to a source eNB/gNB. The source eNB/gNB sends a configuration transfer message to a network element to get the X2/Xn interface TNLA of the target eNB/gNB. The source eNB/gNB initiates an initial backoff timer and an exponential backoff multiplier. The source eNB/gNB determines whether the TNLA discovery procedure time is equal to or greater than a current backoff time, the current backoff time being equal to a previous backoff period multiplied by the exponential backoff multiplier. The source eNB/gNB may resend the configuration transfer message to the network element when a previous TNLA discovery procedure time for the same ECGI is equal to or greater than the current backoff time, and not resend the configuration transfer message to the network element when the previous TNLA discovery procedure time is less than the current backoff time.

The article detecting section detects one or a plurality of the articles based on the distance data. The determining section determines, when a plurality of the articles are detected, whether a plurality of the articles are sortable. The acquisition section acquires sorting information of the article.

Sorting system and sorting method

A sorting device has sensors, a plurality of a feature extracting unit, a feature searching unit, a determining unit and a sorting unit. The sensors detect physical quantities of an object. The feature extracting unit extracts values of a plurality of types of feature values from the physical quantities detected. The feature searching unit specifies identification information of the object based on values of various feature values extracted with reference to a feature database which associates and stores the values of the various feature values and the identification information of the object in advance. The determining unit determines sorting information of the object based on the identification information of the object specified with reference to a sorting database which associates and stores the identification information of the object and the sorting information in advance. The sorting unit sorts the object based on the sorting information determined.

Sorting device and sorting method

A wireless communication system including a gateway device that connects a core network and a wireless access network. The wireless access network includes a virtual base station that includes a representative base station connected to the gateway device and a plurality of unrepresentative base stations, which are subordinate to the representative base station. The presence of the unrepresentative base stations is hidden from the gateway device and an adjacent base station.

Wireless communication system and base station

According to one embodiment, a postal indicium detection method includes detecting whether or not one of a first face and a second face of a sheet corresponds to a picture card specific face, detecting a postal indicium candidate from the second face based on a first detection result indicating that the first face corresponds to the picture card specific face, and detecting the postal indicium candidate from the first face based on a second detection result indicating that the second face corresponds to the picture card specific face.
