An apparatus and method accurately measures an amount of overlap in joining together the end portions of a sheet-shaped member constituting a tire. The overlap amount of the sheet-shaped member front and rear ends is measured when the sheet-shaped member having been molded into a predetermined length with molding marks extending on the surface in width direction is wound around the periphery of a molding drum from the front end. In doing so, a detector detects a first molding mark formed on the sheet-shaped member on the rear end side and a second molding mark formed on the sheet-shaped member on the front end side by capturing images of an entire area including the overlap from above by an image capturing device. A calculator calculates the amount of overlap by measuring the distance between the first and second molding marks on the sheet-shaped member from the frames of captured images.

There is provided a content distribution system configured by a distribution apparatus for storing content data, a display apparatus for displaying content data distributed from the distribution apparatus in accordance with a predetermined display schedule, and a user terminal for acquiring the content data displayed on the display apparatus from the distribution apparatus. The user terminal receives data of a display schedule from the display apparatus, and requests the distribution apparatus to send data of content identified from the display schedule.

A communication system having first and second communication apparatuses, and communicates a communication frame obtained by time-division multiplexing a plurality of communication data, wherein the communication apparatus: receives first and second communication data; recognizes whether the first or second communication data is received; assembles a time-division multiplexed first communication frame using the communication data to add information indicating a format of the first communication frame to the first communication frame on the basis of a recognition result; and transmits the first communication frame assembled to the second communication apparatus, and the second communication apparatus receives the first communication frame transmitted; checks the format of the first communication frame on the basis of the information added to the first communication frame; and acquires the communication data from the first communication frame, on the basis of a checking result.

Communication system for communicating a plurality of time-division multiplexed data, and control method therefor

When a request to transfer real-time data is generated during transfer of non-real-time data, the transfer of the non-real-time data is interrupted, and transfer of a real-time data frame is inserted. Thereafter, the remaining non-real-time data is continuously transferred. The length of each communication frame generated by dividing the first type of data into a plurality of data and using the divided data is determined depending on whether the second type of data is communicated.

Communication apparatus for multiplexing and communicating a plurality of types of data, communication system, and control method therefor

An electronic apparatus includes storage units capable of storing a plurality of texts and a plurality of titles corresponding to each text. A display indicates whether a text has been stored in the storage unit or not by displaying a corresponding title chosen by a selector.

Printing device for displaying a title of a stored text

A first communication terminal broadcasts an ARP request frame which includes an IP address to a network, a second communication terminal which has the identical IP address to the one included in the ARP request frame transmits an ARP response frame which is added with a MAC address, to a second ATM terminal adapter, then the second ATM terminal adapter temporarily stores the ARP response frame. The second ATM terminal adapter broadcasts a virtual path request frame to a first ATM terminal adapter, and branching units which are in a relaying path are specified in accordance with interface information. Then, after a virtual path response frame is transmitted to the second ATM terminal adapter by following back the branching units which are specified during the virtual path request frame was transmitted, the temporarily stored ARP response is transmitted to the first communication terminal, thereby easily setting a most effective relaying path while exchanging information via LANs which are connected to an ATM network.

Method of setting a relaying path in a communication network

An asynchronous transfer mode (ATM) network control apparatus receives data, converts the data into an ATM packet, stores a table of header information for at least one communication network, changes the header of the received ATM packet on the basis of information in the ATM packet header and the stored table, and outputs the modified ATM packet. Units which perform these functions are connected to a general purpose bus line and a high-speed bus line.

In a document processing method and apparatus, having both a communication function and a data processing function, when the communication function is performed during execution of the data processing function, data of the interrupted data processing, which had been stored in a first memory means, is saved in a second memory means pending completion of the communication. When performance of the communication function has ended, a restoring means restores to the first memory means the data so saved. Thus, the first memory means is used both for the communication function and the data processing function.

Document processing apparatus having a communication/facsimile function

A data processing apparatus having a communication function includes an editor which edits document data, and displays the edited document data on a display device. An area setting device sets a destination area of an arbitrary sized for destination information into the edited document data, and a generating device generates the destination information and causes the display device to display the destination information on the destination area in the edited document data. A memory stores the edited document and the destination information as different files, and a transmitter combines and transmits the stored document data and destination information to a utilization device.

Creation and processing of documents containing destination information

A document processing apparatus which can and edit a document based on predetermined character code data, and also has a function of converting the character code data into image data, compressing the image data, and sending the compressed image data as facsimile data. The apparatus includes an auxiliary memory device for storing document data consisting of the character code data, and document data consisting of the image data, a detection unit for detecting whether or not document data read out from the auxiliary memory device is rewritten, another detection unit for detecting whether or not newly created and edited document data is stored in the auxiliary memory device, and a control unit for, in a facsimile sending mode, judging based on the detection results from the two detection units whether or not sent compressed data is to be saved in the auxiliary memory device.

Document processing apparatus

A print apparatus is provided to perform in a Character-By-Character mode, a print operation or a function processing operation depending upon whether or not the pressed key is a character key. On the other hand, in a Line-By-Line mode, when the pressed key is not a carriage shift key, a character storing operation or a function processing operation including a print operation is performed depending upon whether or not the pressed key is a character key. In the Line-By-Line mode, when no character is keyed in, a carriage shift operation is performed, thereby allowing the positions of tabs/margins and the position at which print starts to be changed.

Typewriter having a carriage which is shifted when no character is

A recorder controls a record unit to print a portion of a line of record formed on a record paper by the record unit at a different record density than that of the remaining portion of the line of record.
