Abstract: 2.1 In the swings used hitherto, there is the danger of physiological postural damage due to the substantially sitting position of the small child. 2.2 According to the invention, there is provided a see-saw or swing (1) for small children, in particular for small children aged from about one month to about twelve months, which has a support (2) for receiving the small child (3), on the upper side of which the small child lies face down, and a supporting device (4) for suspending the support (2) at such a height (h) above the floor that the feet (14) of the small child reach the floor. The support (2) is formed from a shell ergonomically adapted to the physical shape of the small child lying face down, of which shell the bearing surface (17) for the hands and head in the front region follows the contours of an oval and tapers rearwardly to the abdominal part and approximately continuously into a rear extension (18). The transition region is designed such that it descends slightly rearwardly and serves as a supporting surface (19) for the abdominal and thoracic part of the small child (3). 2.3 Used for infants to prevent postural damage. <IMAGE>

Abstract: There is provided an apparatus for measuring the
characteristics of an optical fiber in which a frequency difference
between first and second coherent light respectively generated by
first and second light sources can be accurately set and wherein
preferable coherent detection can be carried out in accordance with
frequency components of returned light. First coherent light at
a frequency f1 is converted into a pulse light which is output to
the optical fiber to be measured. The characteristics of the
optical fiber are measured by multiplexing returned light from the
optical fiber to be measured and second coherent light at a
frequency f2 and by detecting the multiplexed light. A component
|f1 - f2| is detected from an optical signal obtained by the
multiplexed light and is mixed with a signal at a frequency fr to
decrease the frequency. An electric signal at a voltage level
corresponding to a differential frequency |f1 -f2| - fr included
in the mixed signal is generated, and a predetermined voltage level
is generated which corresponds to a set value for an optical
frequency difference between the first and second coherent light,
The second light source is driven based on the difference between
the two voltage levels to correct the frequency of the second
coherent light.

Abstract: In a modulation/demodulation system for an infrared data
communication, a three-bit serial-to-parallel converting circuit captures
an input signal in units of three bits in synchronism with an input clock,
and outputs a three-bit parallel data to a decoder. This decoder converts
the three-bit parallel data into a four-bit parallel data having different
patterns corresponding to all different patterns of the three-bit parallel
data in a one-to-one relation. In this four-bit parallel data, regardless of
how the four-bit parallel data are serially arranged, the total length of the
continuing "1" bits is two bits at maximum, and the total length of the
continuing "0" bits is six bits at maximum. A four-bit parallel-to-serial
converting circuit receives the four-bit parallel data, to serially output a
serial data in synchronism with a modulation clock. Thus, the data
transfer rate can be elevated in the infrared data communication.

Abstract: An electric shaver including a display that indicates when it is time to clean the
shaving debris (52) accumulated on a shaving debris receiving part (56a) that is covered by an outer cutter
frame (58) of the shaver. A counting device (20) of the shaver counts the use time (or the load current) of
the motor (64) that drives the inner cutter (54) so that a control device compares the counted use time with
a preset reference value; and when the counted use time reaches the preset reference value, the
control device judges that the time for cleaning has arrived and actuates the display (62) so that the
display shows that it is time for cleaning. Thus, the user detaches the outer cutter frame (58) and
removes the shaving debris (52) from the shaving debris receiving part (56a) in which a light-receiving
devices (18) is embedded. When the shaving debris (52) is removed and the light exceeding a preset light
quantity impinges on the shaving debris receiving part (56a), the control device detects via the light-receiving
device (18) that light exceeding the reference quantity of light has impinged on the shaving
debris receiving because of the removal of the shaving debris; as a result, the control device resets
the counting device so that the counting device re-starts the count of the use time.
