Abstract: Ein optisches System mit einem eine laseraktive Substanz enthaltenden optischen Verstärker (20) dessen laseraktive Substanz durch Pumplicht auf ein metastabiles Energieniveau angeregt wird, enthält außer dem das verstärkbare Licht (λ2) erzeugenden Laser (2) einen weiteren Laser (3) durch dessen Ausgangslicht die Verstärkung des zu verstärkenden Lichts steuerbar ist. Dies geschieht dadurch, daß durch Absorption des Lichts (λ3) des weiteren Lasers (3) Übergänge der laseraktiven Substanz von dem metastabilen Niveau auf ein höheres Niveau bewirkt werden, so daß dadurch die Besetzung des metastabilen Niveaus, von der die Verstärkung des zu verstärkenden Lichts abhängt, beeinflußbar ist. Ein erster Anwendungsfall für das neue optische System ist ein Nachrichtenübertragungssystem, bei dem die Wellenlänge des zu übertragenden optischen Signals in die Wellenlänge des durch den optischen Verstärker (20) verstärkbaren Lichts umwandelbar ist. Ein zweiter Anwendungsfall ist ein optisches Nachrichtenübertragungssystem, bei dem die Verstärkung eines zu übertragenden optischen Signals optisch steuerbar oder durch eines oder mehrere Zusatzsignale zusätzlich modulierbar sein soll. <IMAGE>

Abstract: In a mobile wireless apparatus, electric power consumed at the time of reception standing-by is saved by using intermittent reception or the like because electric power is consumed even in the state of standing-by. It is therefore an object of the present invention to more greatly reduce electric power consumed at the time of intermittent reception. The mobile wireless apparatus according to the present invention operates to shorten the period of intermittent reception when electric field intensity detected at the time of intermittent reception is weak to thereby avoid wasteful battery consumption caused by the continuation of the receiving operation when the mobile wireless apparatus is out of its service area.

Abstract: Magnetic resonance signals for imaging species having short spin-spin relaxation times (T₂) are obtained without the need for a refocusing lobe. A series of RF excitation pulses are applied to the species with magnetic resonance signals being detected after each RF excitation pulse is applied. The magnetic resonance signals are then combined to provide the imaging signals. In one embodiment, each RF excitation pulse is half of a conventional slice-selective pulse with each pulse being slewed to zero. Contrast between the imaged short T₂ species and longer T₂ species can be enhanced by first applying an RF signal having sufficient amplitude to excite the longer T₂ species but insufficient amplitude to excite the short T₂ species whereby the longer T₂ species are tipped by the RF signal. A magnetic gradient can then be applied to dephase the tipped nuclei of the longer T₂ species. The imaging signals are then obtained from magnetic resonance signals from the short T₂ species.

Abstract: An ink container for storing ink and an ink jet apparatus having such an ink container is provided. The ink container has an ink tank providing an enclosed space within an inner wall of the tank. The ink container is filled with inner and outer porous members having open pores for holding ink. The inner porous members are disposed within the enclosed space so as to only contact and press against other inner or outer porous members or both. The outer porous members are disposed within the enclosed space so as to contact and press against the inner porous members and the inner wall of the ink tank. This arrangement of inner and outer porous members within the ink container prevents an uneven compression distribution which occurs when conventional porous members are inserted into ink containers or when ink containers containing such conventional porous members suffer impacts. Further, the porous members can fill the entire ink container regardless of the shape of its interior, thus reducing the amount of non-dischargeable ink and leakage.
