The printed circuit board has a transistor (13, Tr1) for oscillation. A primary winding (15) has one end connected to the battery, and another end connected to a collector of the transistor. A secondary winding (16) is combined in mutual induction with the primary winding, has one end connected to the main capacitor, and another end connected to a base of the transistor. A tertiary winding (17) is combined in mutual induction with the secondary winding, has one end connected to the battery, and another end connected to the base of the transistor. An LED (21, 180) has a cathode connected to the one end of the tertiary winding with the battery, and an anode connected to the another end of the tertiary winding opposite to the battery. The LED is driven to emit light in response to charging of the main capacitor at a predetermined level. In a preferred embodiment, the photo film unit is pre-loaded with photo film (123) having speed of ISO 800 or higher, to allow the main capacitor to have small capacitance adapted to the high speed of the photo film.

Abstract: In a first node of an optical network, an OAM (operations, administration and maintenance) controller produces an electrical OAM signal to control an optical cross-connect switch. This OAM signal is converted to an optical OAM signal and optically multiplexed with an optical payload signal associated with an optical path established in the cross-connect switch, producing an optical multiplex signal which is transmitted. A second node of the network demultiplexes the transmitted signal into an optical payload signal and an optical OAM signal, the latter being converted to an electrical OAM signal and used by an OAM controller of the second node for updating the OAM information. The updated OAM information is used to control the optical cross-connect switch of the second node. The demultiplexed optical payload signal is associated with an optical path established in the cross-connect switch of the second node.

Abstract: A mechanism for finely oscillating (wobbling) a lens element (54) of an automatic focusing (AF) objective lens along the optical axis. The mechanisms include a disc shaped cam element (4) having a peripheral spiral-shaped cam surface abutting against an element (2) holding the lens to be wobbled, such that the lens wobbling is achieved by back and forth rotational oscillations of the disc (4). The spiral cam profile is such that the wobbling amplitude can be varied by varying the rotation angle (theta) of the cam disc. Thereby, automatic focus detection based on contrast detection can be performed by adjusting the wobbling amplitude of the lens in dependence of the depth of field of the objective. The mechanism is adapted to a variable focal length objective (zoom).

Abstract: A data receiving system has a radio frequency unit for demodulating a series of signals transmitted at a carrier wave frequency, a local oscillating unit for generating a demodulating frequency used for the demodulation of the series of signals, an equalizing unit for removing a distortion of the series of signals demodulated in the radio frequency unit, a phase shift estimating unit for taking out phase information from the series of signals, calculating a time changing rate of the phase information and estimating a phase shift caused by a difference between the carrier wave frequency and the demodulating frequency according to the time changing rate, and a correcting unit for correcting the series of signals transmitted from the equalizing unit according to the phase shift to remove the phase shift from the series of signals. Accordingly, because the phase shift is estimated by using the phase information placed in the series of signals, an influence of a bit pattern of a series of training bits arranged in the series of signals can be removed.

Abstract: Water which has been treated in a water softener is removed from a water softener process and assembly under counter-pressure. The degree of regenerative medium exhaustion is monitored in a by-pass to th soft water-removal point. The novelty is that the main flow is throttled (40) independently of th rate of flow, thus increasing the pressure gradient in the by-pass and measuring cell (29). Further claimed is that during regeneration and/or back-flushing when the main (42) and by-pass flows are reversed, the throttle (40) -effect is also reversed. The throttle (40) valve is a self-actuated assembly.
