Inventor: MOCHIDUKI MASATAKA
IPC: B41J2/44
Filed: 2003-04-11
Abstract: There is provided an emission control apparatus
with which it is capable of variably controlling the
intensity of a light beam to be set, in a stable manner
and at a low cost without increasing the circuit size. A
semiconductor laser diode LD emits a light beam. A photo
diode PD detects the intensity of the light beam emitted
from the semiconductor laser diode LD. A driving circuit
supplies driving current to the semiconductor laser
diode LD. A switching section switches the driving
current according to a video signal. An input terminal
receives a pulse width modulation signal. A smoothing
circuit smoothes the received pulse width modulation
signal. A laser driver controls a value of the driving
current according to smoothed voltage obtained by the
smoothing circuit such that the detected intensity of
the light beam is equal to a target intensity.

Abstract: Response pattern extracting unit 220 extracts absence
detection response patterns including moving subject responses to
be judged and presence detection response patterns that have
symmetrical time component structures to these absence detection
response patterns based on moving subject responses of moving
subject detecting sensor 110 (at least one moving subject detecting
sensor 110 is placed in respective rooms). Leaving room response
pattern determining unit 230 adds flags showing leaving room
response pattern to the above-mentioned absence detection
response pattern when a response pattern extracted in response
pattern extracting unit 220 includes a pair of time components that
are in time reversal correlation with each other and practically equal
to each other. Leaving room judging unit 240 refers to leaving
room response pattern determining unit 830, the unit checks
whether a flag showing a leaving room response pattern is added to
the absence detection response pattern to be judged, and judges
that someone left the room when receiving an absence detection
response pattern to be judged from response pattern extracting unit
220.

Abstract: The invention aims to provide an optical transmission system that specifies such a transmission condition so as to obtain high spectrum efficiency and a large transmission distance-capacity product at the same time, and uses low cost and small sized optical senders and optical receivers, to realize a high density wavelength multiplexing optical transmission. For this purpose, a WDM optical transmission system of the invention has a system structure that specifies by calculation the spectrum efficiency at which the transmission distance-capacity product becomes a maximum value based on the determination of the type of signal light modulation and the assumption of an equation model expressing transmission characteristics of an optical multiplexer and an optical demultiplexer, and optimizes a bit rate and frequency spacing of signal light output from each optical sender, and the transmission characteristics of the optical multiplexer and the optical demultiplexer, so as to approach the spectrum efficiency.

Abstract: A batch sheet feeder (14) has an upstream first conveyor section (34) arranged to convey sheets
singly in a downstream direction to a downstream second conveyor section (40). The second
conveyor section (40) has an upper second conveying section and a lower second conveying
section forming a gap therebetween. The gap is largest at an upstream end of the second
conveyor section (40) and diminishes in size toward a downstream end of the second conveyor
section (40). A gate (62) positioned proximate the downstream end of the second conveyor section (40)
selectively blocks sheets fed along the second conveyor section (40). In another embodiment,
the sheet feeder has a sheet conveyor, sheet sensor (86), and visual attribute sensor (82). The visual
attribute sensor (82) has a field of view covering an area of the conveyor at a certain downstream
location so as to sense an area of any sheet on the conveyor at this downstream location.
The visual attribute sensor (82) can compare a sensed area of a sheet at the downstream location
with a stored visual attribute. In this way, where the sheets of a batch are different, the
visual attribute sensor (82) can be used to verify that a sheet of a batch has visual characteristics
matching those of the expected sheet at that ordinal position in the batch. This assists in
ensuring a batch is not faulty. In a related method of verifying batches of sheets, for each
sheet at a given ordinal position in each batch a visual attribute measure for at least an area
of the sheet is obtained. A comparison is made of the visual attribute measure with a stored
visual attribute measure. Each batch is selectively verified based on this comparison.

Abstract: A gas sensor includes an element case 42 with an internal peripheral surface
formed as a taper surface 100. A portion of a housing section 43 surrounded by the
taper surface 100 and a protective film 48 is filled with a filler 49. When the filler 49
thermally expands at high temperature, the filler 49 is subjected to a component of
force in an upward direction by the taper surface 100. Therefore, projection of an
element portion 44 involving deformation of the protective film 48 is suppressed, a
change ΔL of a propagation distance L to a reflecting section 33 is also suppressed,
and a detection accuracy never decreases. In addition, reverberation is reduced.

Abstract: The present invention provides for gaskets in a
storage element such as a battery or an electric double-layer
capacitor of a multiple-layer construction
composed of a plurality of layers having holes of
different inside dimensions wherein the upper-layer
gaskets have holes with an inside diameter that is the
same size as the outside diameter of the solid
electrodes, and the lower-layer gaskets have holes with
an inside diameter that is larger than the outside
diameter of the solid electrodes. The electrodes are
each closely fitted within the holes of the upper-layer
gaskets and, as a result, are firmly secured and
prevented from shifting and the fusion surface area of
the upper-layer gaskets that are bonded together is
increased. The existence of spaces for holding
electrolytic solution between the inside diameter of the
holes of the lower-layer gaskets and the outside diameter
of the solid electrodes increases the amount of internal
electrolytic solution that can be held.

Abstract: The method consists of detecting an enteric virus in a
test sample, where the detection of said enteric virus in
said test sample indicates the existence of
contamination. The method allows us to detect the
presence or absence of enteric viruses in a test sample,
and then to determine the existence of environmental
contamination, especially faecal contamination of
livestock origin, in the test sample and, therefore, the
place where the test sample was taken. The
characterisation and/or molecular or serological
typification of the enteric virus detected and its
comparison with that of other enteric viruses present in
sources of contamination near to where the samples were
taken for analysis, also allows us to identify the origin
of said contamination.

Abstract: A communication system is presented for transmitting packet data from
a communication terminal device (10) to a mobile station (50), which is
connected to a plurality of base stations (42,43,44). In order to realise
soft handover, packet data sent from each of the base stations has to be
received by the mobile station at the same time. A multipath point MP
high-order switching device (20) is adapted to determine transmission
timing at which each of the devices included in the communication paths
(C) transmits the packet data. By making the determination of the
transmission timing at the MP high-order switching device instead of at
an MP low-order switching device (31,32), relaying of packet data and
redundant communication paths are avoided.
