Abstract: A two-way repeater apparatus for directly amplifying optical signals, to be transmitted in mutually opposite directions, with little distortion by directly exciting laser media. An outward optical signal (S6) passes ports 8b and 8c of an optical circulator 8, is amplified by an Er ion-doped optical fiber 11, and further passes ports 13a and 13b of another optical circulator 13 to become an outward output optical signal (S9). Meanwhile, an inward optical signal (S6r) passes ports 13b and 13c of the optical circulator 13, is amplified by another Er ion-doped optical fiber 10, and further passes ports 8a and 8b of the optical circulator 13 to become an inward output optical signal (S9r).

Abstract: A method and arrangement for collimating two optical apparatuses (14,18) with respective first and second optical patha. The method comprises orienting the optical patha in a predetermined orientation, interposing collimation means (24) comprising two reflecting means (20,22) such that each reflecting means intersects one of the optical patha, the predetermined orientation of the optical patha and the angle subtended by the reflecting means (20,22) being such that the optical patha are reflected to be generally parallel at a common input/output aperture. The invention thus allows collimation of optical devices without requiring a common optical path, so that collimated beams can be deflected to follow similar patterns.

Abstract: An improved extendible telephone having a main casing incorporating a receiver and an auxiliary casing incorporating a transmitter and dial keys and slidably mounted on the main casing. Guide grooves are formed in each of the slide surface of the main casing and a back plate which is fastened to the auxiliary casing. Rail members are fitted in the slide surface of the main casing. The auxiliary casing is slidable along the rail members toward and away from an extended position while being guided by the guide grooves. The rail members each has an angled lug while the back plate is formed with two spaced pairs of angled recesses. When the auxiliary casing is slid to the extended position or a contracted position, the angled lugs selectively mate with either of the two pairs of angled recesses to lock the auxiliary casing in position.

Abstract: A system for writing to, and reading from, optical media (10). For writing, the media changes when subjected to high intensity modulated light representing an image, such that the image is recorded. A deformable micro-mirror device (DMD)(130) receives electrical input representing the image to be recorded. A high intensity light source (120) illuminates the DMD (130), which reflects modulated light to an imaging lens (140). The lens focusses the image onto the media (160). To record multiple images on the same media, various means provide for scanning across the media. For reading, the media is illuminated with uniform low intensity light. The DMD provides this uniform light, which is transmitted through a pre-recorded media to an image capture device (170).

Abstract: A method and system for efficiently reading and processing multiple data blocks stored in a removable data storage medium within a data storage system, wherein each data block includes a header portion containing selected parameters necessary to identify and process an associated data block, and a data portion. Each data block is accessed within the removable data storage medium utilizing track logic circuitry and then coupled to a data block buffer for temporary storage. A header processing logic circuit is interposed between the track logic circuitry and the data block buffer and is utilized to initiate processing of only the header portion of each data block prior to storage of the data block within the data block buffer. After completion of processing of the header portion of a data block and completion of storage of that data block within the data block buffer, the data block is efficiently processed utilizing selected parameters contained within the header portion.

Abstract: , A telephone routing system for use with a programmable central office switch and a voice messaging system, wherein the programmable central office switch is of the type that provides prioritized features such as queuing, call forward busy line and call forward don't answer to the voice messaging system. The telephone routing system comprises a hunt group having one or more incoming telephone lines each having an individual hunt group telephone number associated with it. Each of the individual hunt group telephone numbers has a call forward busy line and call forward don't answer to the voice messaging system feature enabled but does not have a queuing feature enabled. A hunt group directory number is associated with the entire hunt group and has queuing, call forward busy line, and call forward don't answer to the voice messaging system features enabled. Calls are received by the hunt group on one of the individual hunt group telephone numbers. If all the telephone lines in the hunt group are busy, the call is forwarded to a common hunt group mailbox in the voice messaging system. The common hunt group mailbox plays a message asking if the caller wishes to leave a message or be placed in a queue. If the caller wants to be placed in a queue, the call is forwarded from the hunt group mailbox to the hunt group directory number. If all the telephone lines in the hunt group are still busy and an empty slot exists in the queue, then the call is placed in the queue. If all the telephone lines in the hunt group are still busy and there are no empty slots in the queue, the call is retrieved by the voice messaging system back to the common voice message mailbox, where the caller is instructed to leave a message or call again later.

Abstract: A data demultiplexer (5) for separating multiplex data including coded video data, coded audio data, timing data (DTSV) indicative of a video decoding start time, timing data (DTSA) indicative of an audio decoding start time, and timing data (SCR) indicative of a system clock reference time. The demultiplexer (5) comprises a circuit (21) for separating the multiplex data into the component data, and comparators (23,25) for comparing input data with the reference timing data. When the timing data (DTSV) indicative of a video decoding start time is inputted and detected, the video data is written in a video code buffer (6) at the maximum transfer rate. During such time period, the reference timing data (STC) indicative of the current time is monitored, and the operation of decoding the video data is started when the reference timing data has become equal to the video timing data (DTSV). A similar operation is performed with regard to the audio data as well, so that the video and audio data can be inputted fast consequently to enhance the responsivity at the start of reproduction.

Abstract: A VDD-type pacing system which may have a floating atrial electrode analyzes P-wave events and absences of P-waves to determine data indicative of the likelihood of P-wave undersensing. The pacemaker logic chooses a reaction algorithm to respond to atrial events in accordance with whether an absence of a P-wave is more likely to have been an undersense or an incidence of bradycardia. Specific algorithms are presented which illustrate pacemaker reactions to probable undersense and brady occurrences. The pacemaker also incorporates a subsystem for detection of undersense events.

Abstract: A durable and extremely water- and oil repellent ultra thin film is formed on the surface of a substates such as glass, ceramics, fabrics, fur and cloth by a dehydrochlorination reaction between a functional group such as a hydroxyl group or an imino group on the surface of the substrate. The coating film of the material comprises a plurality of chlorosilyl groups was formed on the surface of the substrate by dipping and holding the substrate comprising functional groups on its surface in a solution prepared by dissolving a material comprising fluorocarbon groups and a plurality of chlorosily groups in a non-aqueous solvent and drying the substrate which is then taken out from the solution in a substantially moistureless or low moisture atomosphere and removing the non-aqueous fluorocarbon-based organic solvent remaining on the substrate. Further, when the coating film is left in an atomosphere comprising moisture, i.e., humid air, the coating film is polymerized by a dehydrochlorination reaction between the coating film and the moisture in the atomosphere. The film is formed on the surface of the substrate containing hydroxyl groups, imino groups or carboxyl groups through -SiO- bonds or -SiN< bonds.
