Abstract: The present invention is a novel raster output scanner (ROS) configuration that employs modulated laser diodes (50) as the light source. Each laser diode is coupled to a dedicated driver (52) that modulates the light beam according to digital video signal data. The present invention employs a single-channel acoustic-optic cell (58) that deflects the multiple beams to maintain proper facet tracking. A single transducer (57) is coupled to the single-channel acoustic-optic cell that generates the necessary acoustic wave to maintain proper tracking.

Abstract: Dispersion compensation is achieved in an optical communications system by using an optical circulator (5) with first, second, and third ports (A,B,C). The first and third ports (A,C) are connected to system optical fibers (3,7). The second port (B) is connected to a dispersion compensating fiber (11) and return means (13). The signal passes through the dispersion compensating fiber (11) twice permitting shorter dispersion compensating fibers to be used than were previously used. A Faraday rotator may be used to compensate for the polarization mode dispersion of the fiber.

Abstract: A joint structure for joining two panel-like components (1, 2) includes a fitting pin member (3) having a flange portion (3a) and pin portions (3b) equivalent to a dowel. One portion (7) of a surface-type fastener having a number of identical fastener elements is provided on opposite surfaces of the flange portion (3a). A mating surface of each of the panel-like components (1, 2) has a recessed portion (1a, 2a) for being fitted with the flange portion (3a), and a pin hole (4, 5) formed in a bottom surface of the recessed portion (1a, 2a). The other portion (6) of the surface-type fastener which is engageable with the surface-type fastener portion (7) is disposed on the bottom surface of the recessed portion (1a, 2a). The two surface-type fastener portions (1, 2) are firmly engaged together when the flange portion (3a) and the pin portions (3b) are fitted in the recessed portions (1a, 2a) and the pin holes (4, 5), respectively, so that the two panel-like components (1, 2) are firmly joined together. Since the surface-type fastener portions (6, 7) do not project from the mating surfaces of the panel-like components (1, 2), the fastener elements are protected against damage during transportation and assembling work and can provide the desired fastening strength.
