Abstract: A splitterless optical broadcast switch (110) for routing a plurality of optical carrier signals. The splitterless optical broadcast switch (110) includes an optical source (112) for generating a plurality of unmodulated optical carrier signals. A first stage routing module (114) routes the plurality of unmodulated optical carrier signals. A modulating module (116) receives a plurality of RF input signals and modulates each of the RF input signals onto any number of the unmodulated optical carrier signals to generate a plurality of modulated optical carrier signals. A second stage routing module (118) routes the plurality of modulated optical carrier signals complimentary to the first stage routing module (114). An output module (120) receives the plurality of modulated optical carrier signals such that the optical output from the optical source (112) is paired to a complimentary optical input of the output module (120).

IPC: G01N33/558
Filed: 1998-06-04
Abstract: Described herein is a new immunochromatographic device for the detection of
analytes in a biological sample, comprising a chromatographic membrane
provided with a support, at one end of which is applied, possibly by an absorbent
pad in contact with the said membrane, a marked agent (antibody or conjugated
antigen) that is specific for the analyte. After seeding and hence fixing the
biological sample in an intermediate area (i.e., between the two ends) of the
chromatographic membrane, the user sets an appropriate buffer ahead of the
marked agent, which is then drawn along chromatographically up to the band
where the sample is laid, with consequent conjugate-analyte immunological
reaction, which may be visually detected in the form of a coloured band.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an optical
attenuator comprising first and second attenuator units
cascaded on an optical path, and a control circuit
connected to the first and second attenuator units. Each
of the first and second attenuator units includes a
Faraday rotator provided on the optical path. The
Faraday rotator generates a Faraday rotation angle given
as a function of wavelength. Each of the first and
second attenuator units further includes polarizing unit
for generating an attenuation determined by the Faraday
rotation angle on the optical path. The control circuit,
for example, controls the Faraday rotation angle in each
of the first and second attenuator units so that a
wavelength characteristic of attenuation in the first
attenuator unit is substantially canceled by a wavelength
characteristic of attenuation in the second attenuator
unit. With this configuration, although each Faraday
rotator generates a Faraday rotation angle given as a
function of wavelength, a wavelength characteristic of
total attenuation is substantially flattened by the
operation of the control circuit.

an amount of fuel delivered, and controls an amount of exhaust gas admitted
to the engine so as to remove a difference between an amount of intake air
monitored by an air flow sensor and said target amount of intake air.

Abstract: When a shutter button of a digital camera is pressed, a picture
signal fetched from a CCD is converted to a digital signal and compressed and
written into a nonvolatile memory means like a flash memory card as a picture
file which can be identified uniquely.By turning on a reproduction switch, a
picture file is read out from the nonvolatile memory means, the compressed data
is expanded and converted to an analog signal, and the converted picture is
displayed on a liquid crystal display. By pressing a display feed key, another
picture file is read out and displayed. A user can produce a control file for
controlling print processing, display processing, transmission processing and the
like for the picture file by selecting a particular picture file using an operation
key. The nonvolatile memory means can be removed. By mounting this memory
means on a printer unit, display unit or picture transmission unit, the digital
camera also can be used during print, display or transmission of the picture. If
multi-screen print is carried out on the printer unit, a vertical direction of each
picture is unified. Further, upon reprint operation for multiple order persons,
sorting work after the print is facilitated by providing with an identification
means for identifying each order person.

Abstract: An illumination optical system and related apparatus and methods for maintaining
illumination efficiency at an object plane. The illumination apparatus (104) comprises a light
source (110) for generating a light beam (111), a first optical integrator (114) having an
incident surface (114i) and an exit surface (114s), and a second optical integrator (120)
having an incident surface (120i) and an exit surface (120s). An aperture stop (122) is
arranged proximate the second optical integrator exit surface. A relay lens system (118) is
disposed between the first and second optical integrators, and includes a first lens group
(118a) with a focal length f1 and a second lens group (118b) with a focal length f2, wherein
f1 ≠ f2. At least one of the lens groups is axially moveable such that the relay lens system
has a variable focal length. The relay lens system is designed such that the incident surfaces
are substantially conjugate and the exit surfaces are substantially conjugate. The apparatus
further comprises a condenser lens for condensing light from the second optical integrator
onto the object plane. Illumination intensity at the object plane is substantially maintained
even when the aperture stop diameter is changed (i.e., the illumination coherence is changed),
by adjusting the focal length of the relay lens system to illuminate a region on the incident
surface of the second optical integrator corresponding to the aperture diameter.

Abstract: A inflator mechanism (10) has a valve (14) adapted to
secure with the device to be inflated. A compressor (18) is
fluidly coupled with the valve mechanism (14). The
compressor mechanism (18) generates fluid to inflate the
device. The compressor mechanism (18) includes a motor to
drive a piston, a piston (42), a piston cylinder (48), an
outlet (52) coupled between the piston cylinder (48) and the
valve (14), and a housing (12). A biasing spring (54) is
positioned in the housing (12) to exert a force on the
cylinder (48). The biasing force maintains the cylinder
(48) in a first position when the fluid in the cylinder (48)
is at a low pressure. The cylinder (48) moves in the
housing (12) against the force of the biasing spring (54) to
a second position when the fluid in the cylinder (48) is at
a high pressure. A displacement control valve (72) is
associated with the cylinder (48) to control the fluid
displacement of the compressor (18). Thus, at low pressure,
fluid displacement is high and as pressure in the cylinder
(48) increases, the fluid displacement is reduced. A power
source (13) is coupled to drive the motor (28) of the
compressor (18)(e.g. battery).

Abstract: A control valve system for a multiple ratio automatic

reaction brake for reverse drive (B3). A first clutch (C3)
establishes a driving connection between an input gear
element and a torque input shaft establishes a forward drive
torque flow path when the forward drive brake (B1) is engaged. A
second clutch (C3) connects a different torque input gear element
of the transmission to the torque input member when the
reverse reaction brake (B3) is applied. A pressurised valve
circuit with three variable force solenoids, including one
variable force solenoid, establishes a controlled circuit
pressure, a second variable force solenoid is dedicated for
reverse engagement control and a third variable force
solenoid is dedicated for forward engagement control,
whereby independent reverse engagement pressures and
independent forward engagement pressures on the clutches and
brakes, are established. A neutral idle characteristic
conditions the clutches and the brakes for minimal threshold
capacity, which effectively interrupts the torque delivery
path through the transmission when the torque input shaft is
driven at idle speeds.

consists of, in physical order, an x-ray source, a front two-dimensional
x-ray detector, a beam selector, and a rear two-dimensional
x-ray detector. The subject is located between
the x-ray source and front detector. The beam selector
prevents primary x-rays from reaching selected locations of

detector image is calculated, from which a high-resolution
primary dual-energy image pair is calculated. In addition,
the data decomposition method can be used to calculate a pair
