20140133799 | OPTICAL BOARD, METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING THE SAME, AND OPTICAL MODULE - An optical board a substrate includes a plate-shaped resin including a first main plane and a second main plane, and an optical fiber receiving portion to receive an optical fiber, a first metal layer provided on the first main plane, and a second metal layer provided on the second main plane. The optical fiber receiving portion has a cavity structure, which penetrates in a thickness direction of the substrate between the first main plane and the second main plane, and the optical fiber is prevented from slipping out of the first main plane and the second main plane. | 05-15-2014 |
20140133351 | COMMUNICATION SYSTEM AND NETWORK RELAY APPARATUS - A port switch includes ports that are to serve as communication sources of communication lines extending to a plurality of fabric switches, and sets a link aggregation for the ports. The port switch further includes a fabric switch table indicating a correspondence relationship between each of the addresses of the fabric switches and the corresponding one of the ports. When the port switch receives a frame from a terminal, the port switch detects a destination address in the frame, determines, if the destination address is one of the addresses in the fabric switch table, a port corresponding to the one of the addresses, on the basis of the fabric switch table to transfer the frame from the port. | 05-15-2014 |
20140132101 | ELECTRIC POWER COLLECTION AND DISTRIBUTION RING AND ELECTRIC MOTOR - An electric power collection and distribution ring includes first to third bus rings configured to collect and distribute electric power from and to winding wires of a plurality of phases. The first to third bus rings include first to third annular conductor parts, respectively, and first to third feeding terminal parts, respectively, configured to feed electric power to the first to third annular conductor parts, respectively. The second feeding terminal part projects toward another side in an axial direction of the first to the third annular conductor parts without projecting toward the one side in the diameter direction than the first annular conductor part. The third feeding terminal part projects toward the another side in the axial direction of the first to the third annular conductor parts without projecting toward the one side in the diameter direction than the second annular conductor part. | 05-15-2014 |
20140131071 | WIRING MATERIAL, METHOD FOR FABRICATING THE SAME, AND SECONDARY BATTERY DEVICE AND ELECTRONIC EQUIPMENT USING THE SAME - A wiring material includes conductors, each of which has a cross section having a thickness and a width not less than the thickness, a trunk portion in which the conductors are spaced parallel in a direction of the width thereof, a branch portion in which each conductor is bent and branched from the trunk portion in the direction of the width or in a direction that intersects the direction of the width, and a covering member for covering the trunk portion and the branch portion to expose both ends of the conductors. | 05-15-2014 |
20140126352 | COMMUNICATION SYSTEM AND NETWORK RELAY DEVICE - In order to provide a communication system and a communication system processing method with which fault resistance is improved and also signal loopback can be prevented, a communication system is provided with, for example, port switches SWP | 05-08-2014 |
