Abstract: A large area solid state x-ray detector employs
a plurality of cells arranged in rows and columns
composed of photodiodes that are charged, exposed to x-rays
which deplete their charge in proportion to the
exposure, and then recharged during part of each row
scanning period (74) to determine the amount of exposure.
Fast scanning of the photodiodes consistent with the
reduction of dark current effects is obtained without
ghost images by employing a non-imaging scan (76)
following the imaging scan. The non-imaging scan employs
a greater proportion of each scan duration for charge
restoration than the imaging scan. In one embodiment
simultaneous non-imaging recharging of the photodiodes is
performed to substantially reduce this non-imaging time.

Abstract: A cladding pumped optical fiber laser (40) comprises a length of optical fiber
having a rare earth-doped region of diameter d RE  > d 01 , where d 01  is the mode diameter of
the LP 01  mode of the fiber at the laser radiation at wavelength λ. In one embodiment the
fiber has a core diameter d c  selected such that the LP 01  mode is the only guided spatial
mode of the fiber, and d RE  is greater than d c . In another embodiment the fiber supports at
least one higher order guided spatial mode, typically LP 11  or LP 02 , and d RE  is
approximately equal to or larger than d c . Currently preferred embodiments comprise a
grating-defined laser cavity that comprises a mode-coupling refractive index grating (45).
Cladding pumped lasers according to the invention will typically have efficient conversion
of pump radiation to laser radiation, and consequently can typically be shorter than
analogous prior art cladding pumped lasers.

Abstract: A ferroelectric liquid crystal device, such as a display panel, has a plurality
of pixels arranged as rows and columns in a passive matrix arrangement.
Each pixel has a plurality of switching thresholds, for instance by having
different regions (7, 8) of different thicknesses, so as to provide a plurality
of grey levels. A voltage waveform is applied to each pixel for switching it
to a desired grey level. A blanking pulse of a first polarity is applied to
reset the pixel to a reset grey level. This is followed by a compensating
pulse (20) of polarity opposite the first polarity, after which a waveform for
selecting the desired grey level is provided. The effect of the
compensating pulse (20) is to reduce the effect of τmin shift so as to
provide a relatively wide driving window (13) to allow more reliable
selection of an intermediate grey level.

Abstract: In a receiver used in radio communication, when except
for a received signal frequency, two or more interfering
waves having different frequencies exist, a deterioration
in the receiving sensitivity resulting from a cross
modulation produced by a non-linearity of a high-frequency
amplifier and a frequency converter is minimised. The
received signal from an antenna 11 and an antenna sharer 65
is transmitted via a first variable gain means 67 with a
minimum gain quantity set, amplified, and transmitted via
a band pass filter 17 to a frequency converter 21. At the
same time, a local oscillating signal with a controlled
oscillating frequency is also input. These signals are
mixed, and a signal in an intermediate frequency band is
output via a band pass filter 71 to a second variable gain
means 73 whose gain is controlled, to make constant an
input signal power level of a demodulator 75. A gain
control signal of the second variable gain means 73 is a
voltage value as a gain quantity. The control circuit 81
grasps a gain control quantity based on the voltage value
of the control signal, and also a power value of the
received signal from a gain increase/decrease in each block
of the receiver. The signal from the second variable gain
means 73 is 
demodulated by the demodulator 75, converted to a base band
signal, and after AID conversion, fed to an error ratio
calculation means 77. Also a gain value control means 79
controls the gain value of the first variable gain means
67.

Abstract: A distributed communications switching system and its associated
telecommunications network infrastructure(10) includes a plurality of interconnected
switching systems (12 1 , 12 2  and 12 3 ), some of which may be controlled by another
switching system and its associated telecommunications network infrastructure. The
switching systems are controlled via at least one switch processing platform (16) that
generates generic commands for receipt by the switching systems in response to signaling
messages received by the SPP. A fabric application interface (19) couples the switching
systems to the switch processing platform for distributing generic commands to and from
the appropriate switching system and for translating the generic commands into native
commands (or vice versa) for execution by the switching system. The fabric application
interface also translates signals received at the switching system into generic commands
for receipt by the switch processing platform. The ability of the fabric application
interface to distribute generic commands to and from the switching systems and to
communicate signals received at the switching systems allows the switch processing
platform to exercise call control for each switching system regardless of the nature of the
call processed thereby, allowing greater flexibility and cost-effective use of application
software (both service control and basic call control), and other associated
telecommunications network infrastructure such as service circuit equipment.

Abstract: An initial correcting apparatus (U3) executes an
initial correction on the dynamic load radii of the tires
automatically, for example, at the time when the power
supply of the computer (2) for executing a tire air
pressure reduction detection processing (U4) is turned on for
the first time after the tire air pressure reduction
detecting apparatus has been installed. It is therefore
not required to press the initialization switch for making
an initial correction. This results in a reduction in the
number of inspection steps.

Abstract: A magneto-optical information recording/reproducing
apparatus in which a magneto-optical information
recording medium (1) at least including a first
magnetic film having magneto-optical information recorded
on a track and having perpendicular magnetic anisotropy,
and a second magnetic film to which the magneto-optical
information recorded on the first magnetic film is
transferred by irradiation of a laser beam, is used so that
a readout laser beam is irradiated onto the second magnetic
film to thereby readout the magneto-optical information
transferred to the second magnetic film. The apparatus
includes a 2-split detection circuit (18) constituted by
two detection elements (18a, 18b) for receiving the readout
laser beam reflected from the second magnetic film of the
magneto-optical information recording medium, and a
subtraction circuit (19) in which output signals of the two
detection elements of the 2-split detection circuit having
levels corresponding to the quantities of light received by
the two detection elements respectively are subtracted from
each other to generate a differential signal expressing the
difference between the output signals. The apparatus
further comprises a circuit (22, 23) for making a spot of
the laser beam jump one track before readout of the
magneto-optical information from the magneto-optical
information recording medium, a positive/negative balance
correction circuit (20) for detecting an amplitude ratio
between positive and negative side amplitudes in a track 
jump signal generated in the differential signal from the
subtraction circuit in response to the track jump to
thereby output a correction signal in accordance with the
amplitude ratio, and an addition circuit (21) for adding
the correction signal to the differential signal to thereby
generate a tracking error signal for tracking control used
in readout of the magneto-optical information from the
magneto-optical information recording medium.

Abstract: A master disk used for manufacturing an optical disk on

second (120) photoresist layers are sequentially disposed
on a substrate (20) and the first photoresist layer (110)
is less sensitive to exposure to a laser beam (LB1,LB2)

photoresist layers (110,120), so that the boundary between
grooves and information pits recessed from the grooves
becomes distinct and the grooves and information pits have
inner walls substantially perpendicular to the substrate.
Therefore, the reproduction characteristics of an optical
