Inventor: SUEMORI SHIGERU
IPC: G02B6/44
Filed: 1998-09-22
Abstract: The present invention relates to an apparatus and
method for making a slotted rod for an optical cable, which
improves manufacturing efficiency, while alleviating the
load applied to the apparatus. In the present invention,
a rotatable die for forming a slot in a resin surface covering
a tension member is rotated about the moving direction of
the tension member such that the rotatable die alternately
reverses its rotational direction for every predetermined
reverse pitch of the tension member, and the tension member
is alternately twisted in rotational directions opposite
to the rotational directions of the rotatable die in
synchronization with the rotation of the rotatable die.

Abstract: The specification describes photonic integrated
circuit structures, and methods for making structures in
which the active and passive waveguides are coplanar, and
further in which all the layers of both the active and
passive device regions are essentially coplanar, resulting
in a planar surface and design flexibility for contact pad
and metallization placement. The fabrication strategy
eliminates the deep etch used in conventional processing
to form laser devices, and thereby eliminates the step
between the laser mesa and the passive waveguide sections.

Abstract: Power control of output RF signals in a mobile radio communication network is described. A base transceiver has a booster module (12) attached for increasing the power of the output RF signals. A power levelling loop controls the transmission power of the unboosted transceiver. When a booster module (12) is attached, the loop is extendible to control the power of the boosted RF signal output from the booster module. A node (52, 53) connects the amplifier circuit (4) of the transceiver and booster module (12). The node allows an RF signal to be supplied from the amplifier circuit (4) to the booster module (12) for transmission. The node (52, 53) also forms part of the extended power control loop and allows the detected level of the boosted signal to be returned to the transceiver.

Abstract: It is an object of this invention to provide a
piezoelectric film element which has structural
characteristics capable of preventing the generation of
cracks in the steps of manufacturing the piezoelectric film
element and of increasing the thickness of a piezoelectric
film. The piezoelectric film element of this invention
comprises a dislocation layer in the piezoelectric film.
This "dislocation layer" is the layer of which atoms in
crystals are partly defective, which is caused by lattice
defects. In the step of forming the piezoelectric film,
when a sol which is a piezoelectric film precursor is turned
into a gel by means of thermal treatment and when crystal
grains of the sol grow, a lattice arrangement over the
surfaces of the crystal grains is disturbed moderately.
Accordingly, when the piezoelectric film is formed over the
gel, the dislocation layer can be formed in the
piezoelectric film. It is particularly desirable that the
piezoelectric film have a plurality of dislocation layers
in its film thickness direction and that the dislocation
layers be formed in a manner such that the distances between
the adjacent dislocation layers are the same or gradually
become shorter from the lower electrode side to the upper
electrode side. As stresses caused at the time of formation 
of the piezoelectric film strongly affect the surface of
the piezoelectric film (on the upper electrode side), the
above-described structure can effectively relax the
stresses caused at the time of formation of the
piezoelectric film. Therefore, it is possible to increase
the thickness of the piezoelectric film.

Abstract: An incinerator for bulk refuse has an inlet (231) for receiving bulk
refuse and a floor (33) located at a level below the inlet opening. A grate (234) is
located immediately adjacent the inlet opening (231) and above the level of the
floor (33). Accordingly, newly introduced bulk refuse is initially contained on the
grate (34), but falls through openings in the grate onto the floor where combustion
is completed. Preferably, the grate is sized such material introduced into the
incinerator falls through the grate onto the floor before the majority of the fixed
hydrocarbons in the bulk refuse have burnt. The grate arrangement is
advantageous in allowing drying of wet material and in preventing high energy
materials burning at high temperature on the floor of the incinerator and thereby
causing slagging.

Abstract: An imaging and recording apparatus for
electrically recording an optical image of a subject as
an image information signal which facilitates memory
access from an external device and prevents image
information from being changed. Upon manipulation of a
recording trigger switch (5), an image outputted from a
camera signal processing circuit (17) at that time is
written into a semiconductor memory (12), then subjected
to data compression in a data compression circuit (21),
and stored in a semiconductor memory (13). It is now
assumed that an external device not illustrated is
connected to a connector (14) and this external device
orders taking in the image of the semiconductor memory
(13). If at this time the semiconductor memory (13) is
writing an image, a state detection circuit (23) detects
the fact and inhibits the external device from taking in
the image. Furthermore, while the external device is
taking in the image of the semiconductor memory (13),
the state detection circuit (23) detects this fact.
Even if the recording trigger switch (5) is manipulated,
an AND gate (6) turns off in response to an output of
the state detection circuit and inhibits image writing
into the semiconductor memory (13).
