Abstract: At a transmitting end, transmission signals corresponding to more than one channel are allocated different microwave frequencies and carriers of the microwave frequencies are modulated with the transmission signals in modulators. A filter (32-1 to 32-k) is placed in the preceding or succeeding stage of a respective modulator (31-1 to 31-k) to band-limit a corresponding transmission signal before or after modulation. The band-limited and modulated transmission signals are combined to produce a microwave frequency-division multiplexed signal. The multiplexed signal modulates an optical frequency modulator (33) to produce an optical modulated signal. The optical modulated signal is transmitted to the receiving end. At the receiving end, the optical signal transmitted from the transmitting end is detected and converted to an electrical signal. The channel components are extracted from the electrical signal by bandpass filters (36-1 to 36-k) and then demodulated. A local optical mixer is used for converting the received optical signal into a signal having an intermediate optical frequency.

Abstract: An apparatus (10) for inflating a vehicular inflatable device incorporates a porous piston (16) that is used to compress a stored pressurised oxidant or oxidant and inert gas mixture (24), while simultaneously introducing a hot, atomised liquid fuel into the gas mixture. The liquid fuel (18) stored in the piston is completely isolated from the oxidant gas, eliminating long-term storage concerns. The combination of elevated pressure and temperature in the stored gas chamber results in immediate and complete combustion of the liquid fuel, accompanied by a dramatic increase in stored gas pressure. A rupture disc (46) and diffuser arrangement (26, 48) is used to control the flow of gases from the stored chamber into the vehicular inflatable device. The apparatus incorporates common fuels and oxidants, and does not produce any particulate matter. By proper selection of the various parameters related to the piston structure and the properties of the stored gas, the performance of the apparatus can be tailored to meet specific requirements. Potentially, the gas mixture may be stored at relatively low pressures.

Abstract: Proposed is an improvement in the method for the preparation of a battery electrode consisting of a spongy metal sheet to serve as a substrate having a three-dimensional skeletal structure with intercommunicating open pores and an active material filling the open pores of the skeletal structure of the substrate. While the conventional process comprises the steps of imparting electroconductivity to the surface of the skeleton of a foamed resin sheet, forming a plating layer of a metal on the surface of the foamed resin imparted with conductivity and removing the resin by thermal decomposition to leave the metallic plating layer alone followed by impregnation of the open pores with a pasty active material, the improvement of the invention comprises subjecting the foamed resin sheet, prior to the step of imparting the resin surface with electroconductivity, to a low temperature plasma treatment so as to remove the spiky fragments or dendritic protrusions of the resin on the surface of the skeleton so that the impregnating work of the skeletal space of the spongy metal sheet with a pasty active material is greatly facilitated and the durability of the battery prepared by using the battery electrode is remarkably increased. Further, an additional improvement can be obtained by forming the metallic plating layer on the foamed resin skeleton having a larger thickness in the marginal areas of the foamed resin sheet than in the center area surrounded by the marginal areas.

Abstract: A photodetection system and related circuitry designed to sense the
intrusion of an opaque object in a light plane. Upon sensing the intrusion, the
system quickly initiates a machine-stopping sequence prior to the opaque
object coming into contact with the machine while that machine is operating.
The system comprises a SYSTEM microcontroller (1) and a WATCHDOG
microcontroller (2), both of which operate an output control device (11) of the
light curtain switch of the invention, wherein the output control device (11)
comprises a plurality of electromechanical relays. Both microcontrollers also
perform system hardware and software integrity checks. Furthermore, the
WATCHDOG microcontroller (2) evaluates the performance of the SYSTEM
microcontroller (1) by transmitting a false intrusion signal to a photosource,
determining whether the false signal has been detected, and then verifying that
the SYSTEM microcontroller (1) has initiated the machine-stopping sequence.
The machine-stopping sequence may be overridden by the WATCHDOG
microcontroller (2), or it may be initiated if the false signal is not detected. The
combination of electronic, mechanical, and optical modules of the present
invention provides improved reliability and accuracy. In addition, the SYSTEM
microcontroller (1) and the WATCHDOG microcontroller (2) are designed so as to
reduce the system's sensitivity to spurious signals.
