This invention is to enable appropriate routing based on transition prediction of network traffic. This routing control method includes: reading out predicted utilization transition data (e.g. utilization rate, or utilized bandwidth) associated with a received connection set-up request from a predicted utilization transition data storage storing said predicted utilization transition data for each resource (e.g. links between routers, or server) in a network in future; and selecting a resource satisfying a predetermined condition based on the read predicted utilization transition data. Thus, by using said predicted utilization transition data, an appropriate resource is identified in accordance with future time transition of the resource utilization rate, for example, and thereby, appropriate routing is possible. For example, when a link that a traffic volume will increase after a predetermined time exists, it is possible to judge that such a link is not used even when there are a lot of available bandwidths now.

A directivity control section 103 performs weight control over a received signal using channel estimation and optimum weights, performs processing such as generation of the received signal and generates a plurality of weight-controlled transmission signals. A received signal demodulation section 104 extracts an SIR measurement result from the received signal. A scheduler section 105 decides which terminal should be assigned to a channel to be adaptively modulated from the SIR measurement result and at the same time decides the modulation multi-valued number and coding rate of the signal to the terminal. A transmission signal generation section 106 modulates a transmission signal such as a reference signal or packet data. A directivity switching instruction section 107 controls switching between directivities so as to maintain the same directivity after the reference signal is transmitted with a directivity until packet data is transmitted with a directivity. This makes it possible to receive packet data with high quality, improve efficiency of a radio frequency band and maximize communication path utilization efficiency.

In accordance with the present invention, there is provided a passenger accommodation arrangement for aircraft which provides both a highly efficient use of available aircraft space and a high level of comfort for passengers. In particular, the novel arrangement allows passengers to easily and comfortably switch between sitting and sleeping positions. The arrangement provides for multiple compartments arranged transversely with respect to the longitudinal dimension of the aircraft. Each compartment includes a stair and multiple, individual passenger accommodation units arranged one above another on each side of the stair. Each unit contains structure which allows a passenger to switch between a sitting position, in which the passenger is supported on a seat surface, and a fully reposed position in which the passenger is supported on a substantially flat, horizontal sleeping surface. Conversion between sitting and sleeping positions is enabled by moveable sections which form part of the passenger bed in a first position and part of the passenger seat in a second position. Passenger units which are vertically adjacent to one another may include complementary and vertically aligned formations to optimize the usable height of the units.

The present invention relates to a method for preparing, from wood-based biomass, a high concentration of fermentable sugar which can be effectively used in culturing various industrial fermented bacteria. According to the method of the present invention, biomass can be extracted by hot water prior to a pre-treatment so as to remove extractible substances such as mineral salts to thus minimize the content of impurities in raw materials for an enzymatic saccharification. The biomass from which substances extractible by hot water are removed is pre-treated in the condition where xylan yield rate is maximized, thus achieving maximum inhibition of the generation of over-decomposed products of sugar. Subsequently, fermentable sugar for culturing various industrial fermented bacteria can be prepared in an inexpensive manner by only concentrating, using a separator membrane, the sugar solution obtained by an enzymatic saccharification of the pre-treated solid content obtained by a solid-liquid separation without washing the solid content with water.
