Abstract: The end of an optical fiber (5) is slantingly cut at an angle . A beam
propagating refracts on the end surface at a slanting angle α. A Laser chip (S)
should ideally be mounted at a spot deviating by x 0 =Ltan α from the center on
the package, where L is the distance between the lens center plane and the
laser surface. The fiber should be deviating in the reverse direction of the
deviation of the laser The deviation of the fiber should ideally be a product
of x 0  and the multiplying ratio of the lens. The orientation of the fiber
should be in the direction where the lowest point of the end surface of the fiber
is the closest to the lens axis. In practice, the fiber end should be aligned for
maximizing the light power by moving the fiber end parallel in xy-plane and
by moving axially in z-axis without rotation. The deviation of the laser
alleviates the cost and the time of alignment in the laser module.

Title: Disk type inverter-stacker
Inventor: HOLTJE BRUCE E
IPC: G03G15/00
Filed: 1997-10-16
Abstract: Described herein is a rotatable disks type sheet inverting, registration and stacking system
(10) which comprises a disk unit (12) having finger units (16a, 16b), with sheet carrying slots (18a,
18b), which are mounted to the disk units (12) for variable radial movement. The finger units (16a,
16b) automatically adjust their radius to release sheets from their respective slots (18a, 18b) closely
adjacent to the top of output stack (44) at their registration position to compensate automatically for
variations in the height of the stack (44), preferably by limited force engagement of the ends of the
fingers (16a, 16b) with the top of the stack (44). Preferably, the finger units (16a, 16b) are radially
pivotally outwardly lightly spring loaded to provide a transporting and inverting position for the
sheets which is at a substantially greater radius than the reduced radius thereof for releasing sheets
at the stacking registration position. A vertically movable sheet hold-down bail system (30, 32, 34,
36a, 36b) is automatically actuated in coordination with the release of the sheet only to engage the
sheet when it is very closely adjacent to the top of the stack (44).

Abstract: The invention relates to inhaler products, such
as medicaments, and particularly to an inhaler for
transferring to a patient a metered dose of medicament
contained in a pressurised dispensing container. The
inhaler comprises a housing for receiving a
pressurised dispensing container of medicament and a
mouthpiece for insertion into the mouth of a user of
the inhaler. An outlet in the housing communicates
with the mouthpiece via a duct ending in an outlet.
At least one air inlet is provided for allowing air
into the inhaler, the air inlet(s) being positioned
downstream relative to the duct outlet. A restricted
airflow passage is provided between the air inlet(s)
and a location adjacent to the outlet of the duct.
The inhaler further comprises vortex generating means
in the restricted airflow passage, such that, in use,
when a user inhales through the mouthpiece, a swirling
airflow is created from the inlet(s) to the mouthpiece
along the passage towards the duct outlet, such that
the airflow has a component directed in reverse to the
airflow from the duct outlet of the mouthpiece.

Abstract: In a gas sensor for measuring a specific gas
component especially hydrocarbon in a gas to be
measured, a hydrocarbon prevention filter (4)
preferably made of zeolite is used. There is obtained
the oxygen concentration difference between (i) the
oxygen concentration in the gas being measured from
which hydrocarbons are removed by the hydrocarbon
prevention filter and further combustible components
are removed, measured by a cell (2,3,5), and (ii) a
known oxygen concentration or an oxygen concentration
in the gas from which only the combustible components
are removed. The oxygen amount necessary for a
combustion of hydrocarbons is then calculated to
provide the hydrocarbon concentration in the gas to be
measured.

Abstract: In a traceback unit for an M-step Viterbi decoder for a convolutionally encoded data
stream, each of the traceback stages has a group of K input wires representing K
possible candidate states. A bank of K multiplexers selects one of 2 M  of the input
wires according to M bits of traceback data. The K multiplexer outputs feed a
succeeding traceback stage. M groups of K wires carry the traceback data, with each
wire being connected to a selection line of each multiplexer. At the output of the
traceback unit an identification circuit identifies a subgroup of the K possibilities
which has a maximum number of candidate states remaining therein. The arrangement
obviates the need for retiming between every traceback stage.

Abstract: Paper jams and damage to a printing medium resulting from movement of a print head carriage
are prevented in a printing apparatus in which a print head unit (11) moves orthogonally to the
direction in which the printing medium (P) is transported through a transportation path past the
printing unit (10) for printing. A pair of transportation rollers (15a, 5b) is supported on opposite

Abstract: A convenient and practical apparatus for transporting digital
images for display is achieved by incorporating an internally fixed base camera
memory into an electronic or hybrid camera. Specifically, a camera includes a
digital imaging system (16, 70) for generating a first digital image of first
resolution in response to an exposure signal, a first storage memory (124) for
receiving and storing the first digital image generated by the digital imaging
system, a fixed memory or a removable memory interface connector (130) for
receiving a removable memory device, and a processor (120) for controlling the
transfer of the first digital image from the first storage memory to the fixed
memory or removable memory interface connector for subsequent storage in a
removable memory device, when a removable memory device is coupled to the
removable memory interface connector. The processor selectively generates a
second digital image of a second resolution lower than the first resolution from the
first digital image stored in at least one of the first storage memory or a fixed
memory or a removable memory device coupled to the removable memory
interface connector in response to a display signal. A display screen (36) is
provided in the camera for receiving and displaying the second digital image
generated by the processor. The second digital image displayed on the display
screen is selective stored in a second storage memory (126) in response to a
storage signal entered via an operator interface (74). The images stored in the
second storage memory constitute album images that remain with the camera until
specifically deleted by the camera operator.

attributes of the print job. A database (600) contains

the clients. A database query is used to filter the
attributes extracted from a print job against the
attributes of the physical printers (422) associated with
the logical printer (412) to which the print job was sent
to determine whether the print job is printable by at least
one of the associated physical printers. A queue stores
print jobs that are determined to be acceptable. Each

idle. A second database query, based on the attributes of

attributes of the printable jobs in the associated queue,
to determine which available jobs are printable on the
available printer. One of the determined printable jobs is
then output to the available physical printer.

Abstract: An all-optical polarization splitting switch of the Mach-Zehnder type
includes a polarization maintaining fiber, an optical input signal, an optical pump
signal, two polarization cross couplers, and a polarization splitting coupler. The
polarization maintaining fiber carries the optical signal and the optical pump
signal while maintaining polarization orientation. The first polarization cross
coupler splits the optical signal into two portions having mutually perpendicular
polarization states which have approximately equal power. The optical pump
signal, when present, changes the phase of the first portion of the optical signal
with respect to the second portion of the optical signal. The second polarization
cross coupler combines all the optical power into a combined optical signal. The
polarization splitting coupler couples the combined optical signal into a first
output port or a second output port in accordance with the polarization state of
the combined signal. This configuration eliminates many of the signal phase
discrepancies that occur due to thermal instability and unequal fiber lengths
which the Mach-Zehnder type switch exhibits. One application for this invention
is a polarization splitting switch for a distributed sensor array.
