Patent EP-1199823-A2 (EP)
Inventor: NAKAMURA KENTARO
IPC: H04L5/14
Filed: 2001-03-12
Abstract: Different bands (C-band and L-band) are allotted
respectively to an upstream optical signal and a downstream
optical signal. In a transmission-path optical fiber for
Raman amplification, the C-band optical signal is amplified
by pumping light from a C-band pumping light source, and
the L-band optical signal is amplified by pumping light
from an L-band pumping light source. As a result of this
configuration, the optical signals are Raman-amplified
through backward pumping in both upstream and downstream
directions, whereby negative effects, which could be
exerted on the optical signals by forward pumping, can be
avoided.

Abstract: The present invention comprises a method and apparatus
for magnetizing the surface of a disk (502). In particular, the
apparatus comprises a write head (800) which writes to a disk
surface using a perpendicular recording process. The write
head includes a leading pole (830) and a trailing pole, where the
trailing pole (820) has a recessed portion (840) along its trailing edge.
This recessed portion leads to an improved magnetic field
gradient across the write head, thereby enabling a higher bit
density during the write process.

Abstract: [Object] 
     To prevent the retainer from inadvertently moving from a partial locking position
to a full locking position. 
     [Solution] 
     A connector housing 11 is provided with a retainer 15 which can be held in a
partial locking position where the retainer 15 is located at a shallow insertion position
in a hollow portion 14a and permits the insertion and withdrawal of terminal fittings T,
and in a full locking position P3 where the retainer 15 is located at a deeper insertion
position in the hollow portion 14a to lock the terminal fittings T so as not to come out
of cavities. There are first and second partial locking positions P1 and P2 of the retainer
15 having different depths in an inserting direction. A holding force for partially
locking the retainer 15 in the housing main body 12 is set larger in the first partial
locking position P1 than in the second partial locking position P2 before the full

Abstract: A hybrid connector and a process for assembling the hybrid
connector are provided, by which the assmbling operation can be
simplified and optical element modules can be stably positioned so that
the workability of the assembling operation is improved and the optical
loss is reduced. The hybrid connector 1 is assembled by a process

of a housing 2. In the second assembly step, optical element modules 8
and 9 are pressed so that the sleeve 7 is further inserted into the
receiving cylinder 19 to reach the completely inserted state. Each
projection 35 of the optical element modules 8 and 9 engages with a
hollow portion 23 of the receiving cylinder 19. In the third assembly step,
a shielding case 10 holds the optical element modules 8 and 9 and
engages with the receiving cylinder 19 so as to fix a position of the
optical element modules 8 and 9.

Abstract: Overwrite protection for data storage-system is provided by including a dedicated
overwrite protection area to each data sector which can then be checked and/or written during the
write and verify steps typically undertaken by a data storage system. This dedicated overwrite
protection area is positioned at the beginning of each sector to allow easy and quick checking to
ensure that data has not been written in the designated sector. If an overwrite protection byte has
been written in this dedicated area, write operations can be ceased and appropriate notifications
created. After data has been written, the overwrite protection byte is then inserted into the
dedicated overwrite protection area during the verify pass. This will then ensure that data will
not be overwritten to this area, as the overwrite protection byte will be checked during any
subsequent write pass.

utilized in conjunction with the encoding of the given portion. The determined value of the
coding-related parameter may be at least a portion of a psychoacoustic model utilized in
encoding the given portion of the particular type of audio material in the perceptual audio
coder. As another example, the value of the coding-related parameter may be a setting of

Abstract: A shielded magnetic head (14) includes a magnetically shielded gap (7)
and first to fourth conductive magnetic films (1,2,3,4) disposed in the gap.
The first to fourth conductive magnetic films, each extending parallel to a
tip face of a magnetic head to be opposed to a magnetic recording medium (8),
are aligned at a distance from one another in a direction perpendicular to
the tip face so as to be away from the tip face in ascending order and
connected to one another so as to form a bridge circuit. The distance
between the first conductive magnetic film and the tip face is set so that a
signal magnetic field (10,11) from the magnetic recording medium is applied to the
first conductive magnetic film (1). By canceling impedance components that do
not vary depending on a magnetic field, the shielded magnetic head detects
only impedance components that vary depending on a signal magnetic field.

projector includes: an image distortion adjustment module (50) that
adjusts a display video signal, which represents an image to be
projected by the projector, according to values of a horizontal correction
parameter used for correcting an image distortion in the horizontal
direction and a vertical correction parameter used for correcting an
image distortion in the vertical direction, so as to correct an image
distortion arising in at least one of the horizontal direction and the
vertical direction; a two-dimensional input unit (120) that outputs a
two-dimensional operation signal, which is mapped to the horizontal
correction parameter and to the vertical correction parameter, in
response to a user's operation; and a parameter setting module (110)
that sets the values of the horizontal correction parameter and the
vertical correction parameter in the image distortion adjustment module
(50) in response to the two-dimensional operation signal. This
arrangement effectively enhances operatability in the process of
correcting the image distortion due to off-axis projection.
