In a magnetic resonance method and apparatus for time-resolved acquisition of magnetic resonance data in an examination region of a magnetic resonance imaging scanner, an object being examined is placed on a table and is continuously moved through the examination region, magnetic resonance signals are acquired from the examination region while the object being examined is continuously moved with the table through the examination region and prior to the acquisition of magnetic resonance signals, a phase coding that corresponds to a position in k-space, for the purpose of sampling k-space, is carried out. An interruption of the movement of the table takes place at a predetermined table position, and the acquisition of magnetic resonance signals from an examination region is continued over the course of a predetermined time period, while the table (13) is at rest in the predetermined position. At least while the table is at rest, the phase coding takes place such that acquisitions are made in alteration of a predetermined number of magnetic resonance signals for filling a first region of k-space with magnetic resonance data and a predetermined number of magnetic resonance signals for filling a second region of k-space with magnetic resonance data.

In a method for determining a suitable connecting path in a communication network as well as to a corresponding switching equipment, given the presence of a connection inquiry to a requested destination node, a check is first carried out to see whether a suitable connecting path to the requested destination node is already stored in a corresponding dynamic memory. When this is not the case, a suitable connecting path is determined on the basis of stored network data of the communication network and is subsequently entered in the dynamic memory, so that this connecting path is subsequently available for further connecting path determinations. After determining a suitable connecting path, the connection to the requested destination node is set up according to the determined connecting path.

Disclosed is a time synchronization apparatus and method of a digital broadcasting reception terminal. A Time and Data Table (TDT) is extracted from Program Specific Information and Service Information contained in received digital broadcasting data, and current Universal Time Coordinated (UTC) time is calculated form the extracted TDT. Current local time, which is a correct time of a region where a digital broadcasting receiving terminal is currently located, is calculated by reflecting local time information on the calculated UTC time. Time information is set by synchronizing the calculated current local time with a Real Time Clock. Accordingly, since a user does not have to directly set an internal time of the digital broadcasting receiving terminal, troublesomeness due to the internal time setting can be solved, and a correct time of a region where the digital broadcasting receiving terminal is currently located can be set.

The present invention suppresses an increase of processing time caused by the expansion of network scale, and decreases the probability of occurrence of blocking by reserving optical paths based on the distributed control method, and decreases time to complete the reservation of optical paths.

A time switch that provides a convenient time setting method through a sub-dial that can be rotated clockwise or counter-clockwise. A ratchet device is constructed of multiple ratchet teeth formed at specific intervals on the rear surface of a drive gear, and pawls that extend from a pinion gear, the tip portions of the pawls engaging the multiple ratchet teeth. The ratchet device does not slip when the torque applied by the motor is sufficient to rotatably drive the dial, but slips when the torque applied to the ratchet device from the dial is greater than that applied by the motor. A control knob, which is attached to the tip of the cam shaft, may be turned to control the rotation of a switching cam which sets contact points to on or off positions.
