Abstract: A carbon-fiber reinforced plastics sheet (CFRP) is excellent in tensile strength and modulus of elasticity, but defective in impact resistance and fracture toughness, To overcome the defect, two aromatic polyamide fiber reinforced plastics sheets (KFRP) are adhered to the opposite surfaces of the carbon-fiber reinforced plastics sheet (CFRP) to thereby provide a laminated structure, whereupon aramid fibers (a) are skewed at angles of +30° - +60° with respect to the direction of an impact load. This arrangement exhibits an improved shock absorbing efficiency and eliminate surface distortion which would otherwise take place during lamination. Further, a shock-absorbing structure may be produced from combining a plurality of sheets (1, 2) assembled crosswise such that surfaces of the respective sheets lie parallel to the direction of the impact load, and a cutout recess (5) and a bulged portion (6) are formed at an end of the sheet adjacent an intersection (3) of the structure. Thus, the one end of the sheet including the cutout recess (5) and the bulged portion (6) undergoes local buckling initiating from the intersection (3), and thereafter the entire assembly is caused to become buckled. Since complete buckling of the entire structure takes a certain period of time during which the impact energy can be absorbed with reduction of the peak load, the shock-absorbing structure is suitable for use in a crushable zone in aircrafts, automobiles or the like.

Abstract: Encoding data are given to a variable-length decoding circuit and are decoded, and are given to a memory so as to be stored therein. The same data are read out from the memory, whereby decoding processing of the encoding data is executed twice within one frame period. Decoding data due to the twice decoding processings are stored in the memory at an output part thereof. Data of odd fields are read out in display order in the first half of the display period of one frame. Data of even fields are read out in display order in the latter half of the display period of one frame. Thus, even in case where restored image data of a B-picture are outputted in interlacing, a memory capacity can be reduced.

Abstract: A system and method is disclosed for reducing low level laser feedback from scatter due to particle contamination or defects on optical surfaces. The feedback leads to unstable distortion levels over temperature in analog modulation formats. Feedback is reduced by removing contamination from all unisolated regions of the laser package and by reducing the amount of scattered light reaching the laser. To remove contamination from all unisolated regions of the laser package, an improved cleaning technique is used. To reduce the amount of scattered light reaching the laser, all optical components are placed behind the isolator in the laser package design.
