Abstract: The optical isolator device comprises a first and a second optical isolator having an identical thickness and each comprising a birefringent element (10,20) for separating an input beam into an ordinary ray and an extraordinary ray, a polarization rotator (11,21) for rotating a plane of polarization of the ordinary and extraordinary rays by (2m ± 1/2) x 90 degrees (m being an integer), and a birefringent element (14,24) for combining the extraordinary ray passed the polarization rotator with the ordinary ray to output the combined rays. The first and second optical isolators are arranged in cascade. The birefringent element located at an input side of the second optical isolator has an optic axis rotated by 90 degrees in the same direction of rotation of the polarization rotators relative to an optic axis of the birefringent element located at an output side of the first optical isolator. As a result, the birefringent element at the input side of the second optical isolator reverses a polarization state to thereby provide the ordinary ray and the extraordinary ray separated by the birefringent element located at the input side of the first isolator element with optical paths of equal length. This optical isolator device is free from the polarization dispersion.

Abstract: Sheet processing apparatus are provided operating in a xerographic printing apparatus employing single-component magnetic toner. The inventive features of the sheet processing apparatus are directed toward smooth transportation and discharge of printing sheets sent through the printing apparatus (11), across a sheet transport guide (45), and through an image fixing and sheet transporting unit (16) which finally discharges the printing sheets. Conductivity of the transport guide (45) is selected by the material of which it is made, specified herein to have superficial resistivity in the range of ten thousand to one hundred million megohms. Charge applied to a printing sheet to electrostatically attract the magnetic toner during the xerographic printing is thus drained by the transport guide (45) gradually enough not to disturb the adhesion of the toner to the sheet, yet rapidly enough to prevent the sheet from being curled upward by electrostatic attraction toward a residual toner container (37) just over the downstream end of the guide, in the optimally compacted arrangement of the various components of the sheet processing and xerographic printing apparatus into a facsimile machine or the like.

Abstract: Ghosts accompanying a composite video signal are suppressed using one filter to suppress macroghosts and another filter to suppress microghosts, the filtering parameters of each of these filters being adjustable in response to digital programming signals generated by a computer. Computational methods are described, each of which includes data acquisition and channel characterization steps followed by a decision step comparing the most recent set of channel characterization results with the next most recent set to determine whether stable ghosting conditions obtain. The data acquisition and channel characterization steps are looped back through until stable ghosting conditions obtain, so the subsequent calculations of the filtering parameters for the filter used for suppressing macroghosts are accurately performed. Where the filter to suppress macroghosts comprises IIR and FIR sections for suppressing post-ghosts and preghosts, respectively, these calculations are carried out to a great extent on a separable basis, simplifying the calculations appreciably. Then, each of these methods performs a step of calculating the filtering parameters for the FIR filter used for suppressing microghosts. This step is followed by further data acquisition and channel characterization steps, followed by a decision step comparing the most recent set of further channel characterization results with the next most recent set of further channel characterization results to determine whether they are substantially the same. If the sets of further channel characterization results are substantially the same, either method loops back to the further data acquisition step; if the sets differ appreciably, either method resets the adjustable filtering parameters for the filters to initial values and the method restarts automatically.

Abstract: It is possible by means of the method according to the invention, and of the arrangement specified for carrying out the method, for absolute interferometry using radiation generated by laser diode for relative or absolute distance measurement to be carried out without a reference interferometer using only a single detector and with high accuracy in the determination of the measured distance. The fundamental idea of the invention consists in modulating the radiation generated by the diode laser in such a way that at least one discrete frequency is impressed on the diode laser and is then detected by means of a phase-sensitive detection method known per se. The modulation of the original radiation of the diode laser generates, as it were, a second laser beam, with the result that a measurement and reference beam result in a single beam path. Both beams, i.e. the measuring beam and the reference beam each possess a different frequency, but exhibit parallel wave fronts, cover exactly the same optical path in the uniform (standardised) beam path, and interfere on the single detector. The determination of the measured distance is then performed by the abovementioned determination of the phase shift, or by determining the change in phase of the modulation signal. As an alternative, the modulation frequency of the diode laser is varied until a prescribed phase shift has been detected by the detector, or has been carried out, between the original first beam of the diode laser and the second beam, of altered frequency, generated by modulation. By determining the modulation frequency at which the prescribed phase shift is achieved and forming a difference with respect to the output modulation frequency, the absolute magnitude of the measured distance can be inferred.

Abstract: A WAN (106) is formed using Frame Relay Protocol and a telephone network interface unit. An originating LAN (100) sends a message to a router (140) which communicates with a telephone network interface (148) unit using Frame Relay Protocol. The telephone network interface unit determines the destination of a packet received from the router (140) by interpreting the Frame Relay Protocol, and it associates a phone number with that destination. The interface unit (148) uses the phone number to establish at least one DS0 connection over a digital telephone network (130) to a destination network interface (158). A destination network interface unit (158) receives the packet from the digital telephone network (130) and provides the packet to a router (150) which interfaces to the destination LAN (102). The network interface units add or drop additional DS0 channels as required by the traffic load and thereby provide variable bandwidth.

Abstract: The invention relates to method and apparatus for measuring and displaying the eccentricity or off-set position with respect to coaxiality of a metallic conductor within an insulating coating during an extrusion process. The measuring apparatus employs a combination of optical and electrically inductive techniques to determine respectively the position of the outer coating of the cable and that of the core within the cable. By relating these positional measurements it is possible to determine the position of the core relative to a desired location namely the coaxial position so that appropriate corrections can be made to the extrusion process to keep the core in that coaxial position.

Abstract: In a CD type disk player, main data in a digital signal, which is read from a CD type disk (1) traced by a pickup (4), is decoded in a decoding means (13) in accordance with a bit clock regenerated in a clock (22) regenerator. The writing and reading of the data into and from a memory both can be synchronized with the bit clock. Also, a selector (25) can switch over the operation clock of the decoding means, thereby selecting the more important factor, of either time base precision or decoding ability, in correspondence with the kind of disk. While avoiding the enlargement in size and power consumption of the disk motor, the read out of the information from the disk can be conducted at a higher speed.

Abstract: A process for producing an optically active alcohol having a phenyl group is disclosed, comprising the step of carrying out interesterification between (a) a monoester between a racemic alcohol having a phenyl group and a fatty acid or a diester between a racemic alcohol having a phenyl group and a dibasic acid and (b) an optically inactive non-racemic alcohol having 16 or more carbon atoms in the presence of heat-resistant lipase and in the absence of a solvent under a substantially water-free condition at a temperature of not lower than 81°C under atmospheric pressure or reduced pressure and the step of separating an optically active alcohol having a phenyl group rich in either one of R- and S-forms from the reaction mixture. Use of heat-resistant lipase makes it possible to use high-melting point materials without using any solvent therefor and to perform interesterification at a high temperature thereby completing the reaction in a reduced time. Further, use of a high-melting point and high-boiling point starting material makes it possible to separate an optically active alcohol from the reaction mixture with high purity in high yield by means of a simple purification step taking advantage of a difference in physical properties. In particular, where the interesterification is carried out under reduced pressure, separation and purification of an optically active alcohol can be conducted simultaneously with the reaction progress.
