To perform communication with a communication path not unnecessarily going through a relay device such as a router. Under an environment in which a first network and a second network are connecting via a relay device, in a case of information used for establishing of a communication path between a call-origin terminal and a call-destination terminal sent by one among the call-origin terminal and the call-destination terminal to the other thereof, being forwarded from the relay device, contents of the information used for establishing of the communication path are overwritten so that the communication path between the call-source terminal and call-destination terminal is established with a path not going through the relay device, and the information thus overwritten is sent to the other one among the call-origin terminal and the call-destination terminal, if both of the network in which the call-origin terminal is installed and the network in which the call-destination terminal is installed are the first network.

In a case in which through an Internet, a first exchange system to which a multi-functional telephone of a conference organizer who organizes a conference is connected and a second exchange system to which are connected multi-functional telephones used by conference participants who participate in the conference straddling different bases are connected, when the multi-functional telephones of the plurality of conference participants who participate in the conference are connected to the same exchange system as the second exchange system, in a video conference mixing device in the second exchange system, conference communication information (video image information+audio information) from the multi-functional telephones is previously mixed to be edited into one conference communication information, and the one conference communication information is transmitted to the video conference mixing device in the first exchange system of the conference organizer side.

The present invention is to provide a chip device bonding machine in which bubbles can be effectively prevented from remaining with the adhesive. A flexible board is moved on a base at every unit by the rotation of reels. In accordance with the movement of the flexible board, a new portion of a tape made of a film, a paper or the like is moved above the base. The tape is located between the flexible board and the base. A thermosetting adhesive is deposited on the flexible board on the base by an adhesive nozzle. An IC chip is placed on the flexible board on the base by an IC chip supply arm. A pressing arm including a heater presses and heats the IC chip toward the base side to interconnect the IC chip to the flexible hoard. When the IC chip is heated and pressed by the pressing arm, the tape is concaved at its portions corresponding to bumps and consequently the flexible board is deformed, whereby bubbles produced within the adhesive are pushed out to the outside. Thus, the bubbles can be removed from the adhesive.

A method for producing an information card by printing an electroconductive pattern and a first electrode surface of a battery on a first cover sheet, applying a battery activator onto the first electrode surface, resting an electrolyte-impregnated separator onto the first electrode surface, fixing an IC chip to the electroconductive pattern in a predetermined position, printing a second electrode surface of the battery on a second cover sheet, applying a battery activator onto the second electrode surface, and lapping and sticking the first and second cover sheets together and cutting them into a predetermined size.

In a high speed contact printing system in which a measurement roller is installed to measure the running speed of either a master or slave magnetic tape, the remaining amount or length of the slave magnetic tape wound on a supply reel is automatically and accurately determined on the basis of information as to the thickness of the slave magnetic tape in addition to the rotational speeds of the measurement roller and of the supply reel for the slave magnetic tape. Consequently, the printing system always determines whether one of the programs recorded on the master magnetic tape can be printed on the remaining portion of the slave magnetic tape.

High speed contact printing system

A master tape and a slave tape are driven so that successive portions of each are brought into substantial contact with successive portions of the other at a printing station. A printing magnetic field is applied to such successive portions while they are in substantial contact with each other at the printing station, so that data on the master tape is copied onto the slave tape and the slave tape becomes a copy of the master tape. A single master tape can thus be employed to produce a plurality of copies. A counter counts the number of copies thus produced, and an indicator provides an indication corresponding to the remaining life expectancy of the master tape.

A control circuit for video tape recording and/or playback apparatus is coupled to a stationary control head for selectively changing the duty ratio of the control signal that accompanies the recorded video signal and is the same signal that is used to control the servo operation of head drum and capstan motors of the apparatus. Normally, the duty ratio of the control signal is 50%, but the control circuit permits an operator to selectively alter the duty ratio, for example, to 30%, to indicate that the accompanying segment of the recorded video signal is to be edited out, that is, skipped over when the tape is played back. A duty-ratio detector coupled to the control head discriminates the duty ratio of the reproduced control signal, and a system controller automatically changes the mode of the apparatus to advance at fast-forward past those portions of the video signal accompanied by a 30%-duty-ratio control signal.
