The path setting device determines whether a received message is a request message for a first path, the request message including requested bandwidth information for a plurality of paths set for the service required by the subscriber. The bandwidth is secured based on the requested bandwidth information set in the request message for the first path between the service provider and the subscriber in response to receiving the request message for the first path. The bandwidth may also be secured by determining whether a received message is a request message and determining whether a number of request messages received from the same subscriber reaches a number of paths set in the request message for the first path. The bandwidth required for all paths set to provide the service for the subscriber is secured when the number of request messages received from the same subscriber reaches the number of paths set in the request message for the first path.

In a connection oriented mode communication system, a communication connection is established as an alternative connection substitutive for a currently working communication connection so that the alternative connection connects the couple of node apparatus connected through the currently working communication connection to each other by way of a route physically different from that of the currently working communication connection. According to the above arrangement, it becomes possible to carry out maintenance, moving of facility or the like of a network including the currently working connection without interrupting the service which is provided through the currently working connection.

In a image forming apparatus, a lifespan copy number (lifespan time period) previously determined for each component is added to the replacement schedule copy number (replacement schedule time) of respective components contained in the apparatus, in other words the total print number (total print time) at the time of replacement of a component, and the resulting value is recorded in a non-volatile memory. Therefore, it is judged that a component lifespan has expired, each time that the total print number (total print time) exceeds the replacement schedule copy number (replacement schedule time period). Thereby, since the amount of information required for component lifespan management is small, the capacity of the non-volatile memory can be reduced, and hence cost reductions in the image forming apparatus can be achieved.

A redundant structure control device for an (N+1) reluctant structure exchange, capable dealing with line trouble and line interface device trouble. When line trouble is detected frame tag attaching is arranged so a frame coming from a interface device originally connected with a troubled line toward die troubled line may be sent to a spare line. When a troubled line interface device is detected, frame tag attaching is arranged so that a frame coming from a line originally connected with the troubled line interface device be sent to a spare line interface device and a frame earning from the spare line interface device may flow so the line originally connected with the troubled line interface device, and instructs the change of a cell tag coming from an ATM switch toward the troubled line interface device, to a value indicating that the cell be sent to the spare line interface device.

Redundant structure control device for exchange

A NMS for controlling the network provides a SoftPVC connection request comprising information associated with a specified relay node to a call-out node, when setting a path passing through the specified relay node. The call-out node prepares a SETUP message comprising information associated with the specified relay node, and transmits the message to nodes existing on the post stage. Thereafter, the SETUP message reaches the call-in node through the specified relay node, to thereby perform the signaling procedure, and as a result, a path from the call-out node to the call-in node passing through the specified relay node is set and established.

A communication control device includes an RM cell receiving unit which receives an incoming RM cell from a source terminal via a forward transmission line. A point-to-multipoint RM cell transmitting unit overwrites, when a congestion at a downstream portion of an ATM-based network is detected, a congested-condition ER value and a congestion notification data to the incoming RM cell received by the RM cell receiving unit, and transmits a point-to-multipoint RM cell, having the congested-condition ER value and the congestion notification data, to an upstream communication device via a backward transmission line, so that a state of the congestion is notified to the upstream communication device.

An RM cell extractor extracts an RM cell, and outputs the RM cell to the CPU. The CPU computes a transmission-rate control parameter (for example, ICR) using the PCR, etc. set in the RM cell, and outputs the result to an RM cell inserter. The RM cell, inserter compares the transmission-rate control parameter sen in the RM cell with the transmission-rate control parameter input from the CPU, and rewrites the transmission-rate control parameter in the RM cell when it is larger than the transmission-rate control parameter input from the CPU.

Apparatus and method for transmission rate control

A front surface of the opposite electrode of a liquid crystal display panel is formed in a curved shape. The relation between the reflecting surface of the pixel electrode and the curved surface of the opposite substrate is defined so that a leaving direction of the light that is reflected by the first face of the opposite substrate is different from a leaving direction of light that is emitted from the first face of the opposite substrate after having been reflected by the pixel electrodes through the liquid crystal layer. Thus, undesired light on the front surface of the opposite substrate is separated from light that is displayed. Consequently, an image free of dazzling and deterioration of contrast ratio due to undesired reflected light can be obtained with a high contrast ratio. In a display apparatus containing the reflection type liquid crystal display, an incident surface to a dichroic prism is an inclined surface including a curved surface, not a surface that is perpendicular to the optical axis. Thus, signal light that is reflected on each reflection type liquid crystal display panel and that is displayed can be separated from undesired light that is reflected on the surface of the dichroic prism. Thus, an image with a high quality, and a high contrast ratio can be displayed.

The quality and performance of the connectionless communications system are improved. When a BOM is received, the destination address DA of the L3-PDU stored in the payload of the BOM is retrieved, and the tag information is obtained from the DA (S,). The output message identifier MID is reserved (S,), and the tag information and output MID are assigned to the BOM (S,). Then, the tag information and output MID are written to the table. When a COM is received, the tag information and output MID are retrieved using the MID of the COM as a key, and the information is provided for the COM (S,and S,). When an EOM is received, the tag information and output MID are retrieved using the MID of the EOM as a key, and the information is provided for the EOM (S,and S,). Then, the output MID is released (S,).
