Abstract: A semiconductor light receiving element for use in monitoring an optical communication fiber network has high quantum response, low dark current and high current multiplying efficiency for light having wavelength of 1.65 µm. The semiconductor light receiving element comprises an InP substrate, an InP buffer layer formed on one surface of the InP substrate, an n-InAsP buffer layer formed on the InP buffer layer, a distortion InGaAs light absorbing layer formed on the n-InAsP buffer layer and having wavelength of 1.85 µm, an InGaAs linear step layer formed on the distortion InGaAs light absorbing layer and having wavelength changing from 1.85 µm to 1.67 µm, an InGaAs intermediate layer formed on the InGaAs linear step layer, an n-InP multiplying layer formed on the InGaAs intermediate layer and an InP window layer formed on the multiplying layer. Light having wavelength of 1.65 µm and incident on the window layer side is absorbed by the distortion InGaAs light absorbing layer, converted into carrier by photoelectric conversion and flows to an external circuit. Dark current produced by lattice mismatching between the InP layer and the InGaAs layer can be restricted by providing the InAsP layer therebetween.

Abstract: Method and apparatus are disclosed for efficient encoding of symbols with multilevel encoding, where components of the symbols that are more susceptible to errors are encoded more robustly than components that are less susceptible to error. A non-binary constellation of symbols is handled with a fractional bit rate converter that combines with the multilevel encoder (31-33) to create an effective and efficient constellation of symbols. Illustratively, digital data is encoded and mapped onto a set of symbols, with the two least significant bits of the symbols being encoded with a multi-level code. The least significant bit is encoded with a code that is more robust than the code of the next-to-least significant bit, in recognition of the fact that errors in the least significant bit are much more likely. The most significant bits are mapped with the aid of a fractional bit rate mapper (33) that optimizes a selected aspect of the symbol constellation, such as average power.

Abstract: The invention provides an electrical program guide system and method by which a desired program can be selected rapidly with certainty, intuitively and directly from among a large number of programs. For example, nine reduced screens reduced from nine screens of different programs are arranged in a 3x3 matrix to construct one multi-screen as a screen for program selection. Six such screens for program selection are individually produced by multi-screen production circuits and encoded by MPEG video encoders, and then multiplexed by a multiplexer so that they may be transmitted via a single transmission channel. The multiplexed signal is subjected to error correction coding and QPSK modulation by a transmission line coding apparatus and then it is further subjected to frequency conversion by an up converter. The resultant signal is transmitted to an artificial satellite through a mixer and a parabola antenna. Each multi-screen received on the reception side from the satellite is displayed as 3x3 pieces of reduced screens of full motion, and a viewer will find out and directly select a desired program from a preview screen formed from the reduced screens.

Abstract: A method of detecting a malfunction or failure of a pressure regulator in a corrosive or reactive gas distribution system while in use involves continuously measuring or monitoring the output pressure of the pressure regulator, both in the presence and the absence of gas flow. The onset of a malfunction of the pressure regulator can be predicted when the differential output pressure between flowing and non-flowing gas fluctuates highly and increases gradually. Failure of the pressure regulator or of the total system is detected when the differential output pressure in the presence and absence of flowing gas exceeds some experimentally determined value.

Abstract: Cette invention concerne une configuration de tête d'impression perfectionnée permettant de conserver la résistance de la microplaquette le long de la ligne des buses à un niveau approximativement égal à 50 % de la résistance normale de la microplaquette. A ces fins, on divise chaque rangée de buses en segments, et l'on déplace certains de ces segments (de préférence un segment sur deux) dans la direction d'impression. Le déplacement du segment de buses se fait suivant la direction d'impression de telle sorte que les buses puissent encore imprimer les mêmes pixels sur le milieu d'enregistrement grâce à une simple modification de l'instant auquel les buses disposent des informations particulières à imprimer. De préférence, les segments déplacés sont déplacés sur une distance légèrement supérieure à la largeur de la fente (ou du canal d'alimentation en encre) dans laquelle les buses du segment approprié sont formées.

Abstract: A digital-to-analog conversion method and interpolating digital-to-analog converter (20) for a data modulation system which reduces the spurious energy content of the output signal by an order of magnitude to thereby permit use of a less complex reconstruction filter to smooth the analog output. The process is a two step charge redistribution with feedback to interpolate between samples. DC offset is minimized by using double sampling techniques which permit a fully held signal between interpolation samples. A first conversion stage (22) converts the first n bits of an N bit data signal received at an input rate to a first output value, and a second conversion stage (26) converts the remainder of the N bits and combines signals from the two conversion stages to provide a combined output (28) to an interpolation stage (30) which provides an interpolated output (32) at an interpolation output rate. A feedback circuit (34) provides the interpolated output to an input of the second conversion stage (26).
