Messages on controller area network (CAN) buses are communicated over subsea links. Messages are sent as electrical or optical signals. The present invention provides a subsea CAN BUS electronic distribution unit (EDU) for transmitting, receiving, converting, and routing electrical or optical signals sent over a subsea CAN BUS network. The CAN BUS EDU of the present invention is contained within a single housing and combines the functions of transmitting, receiving, converting, and routing electrical or optical signals sent over a subsea CAN BUS network that would typically be handled by multiple devices.

An optically-switch data network includes an optical data bus, an optical wavelength bus, and multiple nodes connected by the optical data bus and the optical wavelength bus. A first node determines that it has communication information to transmit to a second node, and determines if a first subscription signal is present on the optical wavelength bus. The first subscription signal includes a target frequency. If the first subscription signal is not present on the optical wavelength bus, the first node injects an optical communication signal onto the optical data bus. The optical communication signal includes the communication information and a carrier wave. The carrier wave includes the target frequency. The second node receives the optical communication signal using the optical data bus. If the first subscription signal is present on the optical wavelength bus, injection of the optical communication signal onto the optical data bus is postponed.

In an electronic component mounting device, a first multiplexing device of a head section which is attachable to and detachable from a Y-axis slider is connected to a second multiplexing device through an electric communication cable. The first multiplexing device, from which the cable is likely to be removed, is connected through the electric communication cable for which the communication failure due to dust or the like is relatively unlikely to occur. Second and third multiplexing devices, from which cables are less likely to be removed, are connected through the optical communication cable. The second multiplexing device separates data directed to the input and output device, among frame data received from the third multiplexing device, multiplexes only data directed to the first multiplexing device from the second multiplexing device, and transfers the multiplexed data to the first multiplexing device by the electric communication cable.

Time taken for resuming communication in a protection scheme using a backup path in an optical communication system including a master station device and a plurality of slave station devices is decreased. The plurality of slave station devices are connected in parallel to a looped path. A communication path between the master station device and each of the slave station device includes a normal path and a backup path. The master station device performs communication control processing for each of the slave station device based on RTT. A first slave station device is a slave station device with which communication through the normal path has become impossible. First backup path RTT of the first slave station device is calculated based on first normal path RTT of the first slave station device, first partial RTT between the master station device and the looped path, and loop propagation time necessary for one trip through the looped path. The communication control processing for the first slave station device is resumed based on the calculated first backup path RTT without measurement of the first backup path RTT when the first slave station device is sensed.

A moving body-mounted communication system includes an internal connector, a third transmission line and a first information transmitting and receiving device. The internal connector is mounted in a moving body and connected to an external connector which is connected to a second transmission line. The third transmission line is arranged in the moving body and connected to the internal connector. The first information transmitting and receiving device is connected to the third transmission line. Information is transferred between a first transmission line used in an information and communication network outside the moving body and the second transmission line, and is transferred between the second transmission line and the third transmission line, without performing conversion of the information form of the information between light and electricity.

A telecommunication system employs dynamic shaping across a plurality of access modules of an access node using a dynamic bandwidth allocation (DBA) algorithm that is based on current load conditions for each of the access modules in order to achieve a fair allocation of network bandwidth at the access node. In one exemplary embodiment, access modules at an access node communicate via a control channel with shaper control logic that receives load information from each of the access modules. Using such load information, the shaper control logic dynamically controls the shaper rates for the access modules so that a fair allocation of network bandwidth is achieved across all of the access modules. Specifically, the shaper rates are controlled such that packet flows for services of the same class achieve the same or similar performance (e.g., average data rate) regardless of which access module is communicating each respective packet flow.
