An ATM switching system comprises a switch unit including a plurality of input ports and a plurality of output ports having the same cell transmission rate, and a multiplexer for multiplexing cell trains outputted from at least two output ports into a single cell train and outputting the cell train to a high-speed output line (and/or a demultiplexer for demultiplexing a cell train from an output port into a plurality of cell trains and outputting the cell trains to a plurality of low-speed output lines). The switch unit includes a buffer memory for temporarily storing cells inputted from the input ports while forming a queue chain for each output line to which each cell is to be outputted, a demultiplexer for distributing the cells read from the buffer memory among the output ports in circulation, and a buffer memory control circuit for controlling the write and read operation of cells with the shared buffer memory. The buffer memory control circuit has a control table device for outputting an identifier of an output line to which the cells read from the shared buffer memory are to be outputted, and cells are read from the chain designated by the output line identifier outputted from the control table device.

In a shared-buffer-type ATM switch including a multiplexer, a shared buffer memory, a demultiplexer, a buffer memory controller, a cell copy section is disposed between the multiplexer and the memory. The copy section produces a plurality of copies of a broadcast cell according to information of a copy information table and adds associate routing information to each copied cell so as to write the cells in the memory. In response to an indication from an output counter, the cells are read from the memory to be distributed to output ports, thereby implementing a broadcast function.

A sensor node for intermittently sensing data in a short cycle includes a control unit for acquiring information by driving the sensor, a radio communication unit for transmitting the information acquired by the control unit and a battery for supplying the control unit. The control unit includes a clock supply unit (RTC) for supplying the control unit with clocks at a predetermined frequency. A sensor control unit starts the supply of power to the sensor when the measurement period has begun, maintains the power supply to the sensor even if the control unit has shifted to the standby state during the measurement period, and shuts down the power supply to the sensor when the measurement period has been completed. A measurement unit is also provided for acquiring information from the sensor every time the latter has shifted to the operational state.

The precision of measuring biometric information is enhanced while suppressing the consumption of a battery in a sensor node. In a method of measuring the biometric information in a sensor node including a controller for driving a sensor to measure biometric information, the controller supplies power from a battery to an acceleration sensor for detecting the movement of a living body to detect the movement of the living body, the controller determines whether or not measurement by a pulsebeat sensor is possible based on the detected movement of the living body (P330), and shuts off power to the acceleration sensor having a power consumption lower than that of the pulsebeat sensor when the determination results show that measurement is possible, and thereafter supplying power to the pulsebeat sensor having a power consumption larger than that of the acceleration sensor to measure the biometric information (P340).

To secure a stable radio-communication performance in a sensor node, the sensor node with a radio-communication circuit and a sensor, for transmitting data measured by the sensor through radio-communication, includes a first board BO2 on which an antenna ANT1 connected to the radio-communication circuit is placed, a case CASE1 containing the first board BO2, and a band that is attached to the case CASE1 so as to fix the case CASE1 to the skin. The antenna ANT1 is placed in an upper portion of the case CASE1, which corresponds to a 12 o'clock direction of a wristwatch.

In a digital information system for realizing the sale of information or the like having a commercial value in the form of a digital signal, and an audio processor, and signal processor suitably used with the system, when a digital signal is received/delivered, a digital signal source is connected directly to a player for receiving and storing a specified information, which is reproduced by the player independently. A voice interval of a digital audio signal is processed to realize the slow and fast playback. The system includes a data compressor and a data extender of simple configuration. The value of the digital signal received/delivered can be exhibited directly. A selling system is constructed easily, and the player is simple in configuration and easy to operate by anyone. The fast and slow playback are possible without deteriorating the sound quality, and ripples can be greatly reduced against the digital input signal, thereby making possible a faithful data compression of an acoustic signal or the like by a simple configuration. The self-diagnosis function permits the use of a defective memory chip, thereby leading to a very economical system.
