Abstract: A system and method for treating the surface of an optical lens is provided. A predetermined
pressure and a plasma gas are maintained in a coating chamber. A plasma cloud
of gas is established between electrodes in the chamber. An entry chamber is upstream
from the coating chamber, and an exit chamber is disposed downstream from the chamber.
A lens is moved into the entry chamber, and at least a portion of the entry chamber
adjacent to the coating chamber is brought to the predetermined pressure. Process gas is
introduced into this area. The entry chamber is then brought into communication with the
coating chamber, and the lens is moved into the coating chamber and through the cloud.
Process gas is introduced into at least a portion of the exit chamber adjacent the coating
chamber, and this portion is brought to the predetermined pressure. The lens is then moved
from the coating chamber to the exit chamber.

Abstract: A high-strength austenitic stainless steel strip excellent in flatness of
shape with Vickers hardness of 400 or more is newly proposed, which has the
composition consisting of C up to 0.20 mass %, Si up to 4.0 mass %, Mn up to
5.0 mass %, 4.0-12.0 mass % Ni, 12.0-20.0 mass % Cr, Mo up to 5.0 mass %, N
up to 0.15 mass % and the balance being Fe except inevitable impurities
under the condition that a value Md(N) defined by the formula (1) is in a
range of 0-125. It has a dual-phase structure of austenite and martensite
involving reverse-transformed austenite at a ratio of 3 vol.% or more. It is
manufactured by solution-heating a steel strip having the composition,
cold-rolling the steel strip to generate deformation-induced martensite, and
then re-heating at 500-700°C to induce reversion. The reversion effectively
flattens a shape of the steel strip.
 Md(N) =580-520C-2Si-16Mn-16Cr-23Ni-26Cu-300N-10Mo

Abstract: To reduce the size of a polarizing device used for a polarized light illuminator, to cut
the costs of the polarizing device and to reduce the size of the entire polarized light
illuminator, light from a lamp which is incident on a polarizing device, is subjected to
polarization separation, and is then incident on an integrator lens. The polarized light
emerging from the integrator lens is converted into parallel light via a shutter and a second
planar mirror by means of a collimator and is emitted onto a workpiece. As the polarizing
element, a polarizing element formed by a combination of several polarized light beam
splitters is used, and it is arranged such that the shadow is projected by the boundary surfaces
of the polarized light beam splitters onto the boundary lines of the lenses which form the
integrator lens. In this way, the reduction in illuminance and the deterioration of the
distribution of the illuminance on the irradiation surface can be prevented. Furthermore, the
polarizing device can be placed on the outlet side of the integrator lens and the boundary
surfaces of the polarized light beam splitters can be placed in the areas in which the
illuminance is reduced by the shadow of the light which strikes the boundary surfaces of the
individual lenses of the integrator lens.

Abstract: A magnetoresistive transducer includes a
magnetoresistive (MR) film (31) interposed between domain
control layers (42) along the surface of a lower non-magnetic
gap layer (34). Lead layers (43) are formed on
the domain control layers (42). An upper non-magnetic
gap layer (33) and an upper shield layer (35) are
sequentially formed to extend over the MR film (31) and
the lead layers (43). The upper shield layer (35) is
opposed to the surfaces of the MR film (31) and the lead
layers (43) at a flat boundary or interface. The
residual magnetization is supposed to exist in the upper
shield layer (35) in the direction of the magnetization
established in the domain control layers (42) after the
upper shield layer (35) has been subjected to the applied
magnetic field for the magnetization of the domain
control layers (42). The residual magnetization can be
kept continuous along the flat interface of the upper
shield layer (35). Any magnetic poles are hardly
generated along the interface of the upper shield layer
(35). The longitudinal bias field can be prevented from
receiving the interaction of the residual magnetization
in the upper shield layer (35). Reduction in the
longitudinal bias field can thus be suppressed.

Abstract: An automatic resolution
changing method and circuit for use in a high-precision
digital conversion of two-phase sinusoidal wave signals. The
angular velocity (d/dt) of the rotor obtained from the
difference between these two-phase sinusoidal wave signals
is integrated by a counter. Subsequently, digital
conversion of the rotation angle () of the rotor with
respect to the stator is performed, and a result of the
digital conversion is outputted. At this time, in the case
where the angular velocity (d/dt) is equal to or higher
than a first percentage of the follow-up speed at the
current resolution of the counter, the resolution of the
counter is reduced. Further, in the case where the angular
velocity (d/dt) is equal to or lower than a second
percentage of the follow-up speed at the current resolution
of the counter, the resolution of the counter is increased.

Abstract: There is disclosed a duplex communication system having multiple antennae at the
forward link transmitter. One method of transmitting a stream of information symbols from
the antennae is by beamforming. With beamforming the transmitter typically operates in
closed loop and uses channel information from the receiver to change beams in the forward
link. Another approach employs orthogonal coding. Orthogonal coding can be simpler to
implement because it can operate in an open loop system that is without channel knowledge at
the transmitter. Each has its advantages and disadvantages. What is here disclosed is a
method which is an alternative to using only beamforming or orthogonal coding. The signals
transmitted from at least two antennae are by beamforming or othogonal coding; or by
beamforming in combination with orthogonal coding in a proportion that is determined by a
reference value which is related to the differences between the signals from the antennae. The
reference value can be related to the amplitude or phase of the signals and it can be either
measured or estimated.

Abstract: The present invention is provided to clarify causes of hampering the performance by quantitatively associating a value of a parallel efficiency with factors of hampering the improvement of the performance of a parallel computer system. Processing time α(p, n) for a portion to be sequentially processed, processing time β(p, n)/p for a portion to be parallel processed and processing time σ(p, n) caused by an overhead for the parallel processing at the time of the execution of a parallel processing program are measured. A parallelized rate R para (p, n), a sequential calculation time ratio R α (p, n) and a parallel overhead ratio R σ (p, n) are calculated by using the obtained processing time σ(p, n) for the portion to be sequentially processed, β(p, n) for the portion to be parallel processed and σ(p, n) caused by the overhead for the parallel processing. A parallel efficiency E para (p, n) is calculated in accordance with an expression 1/R para (P, n)x(1-R α (p,n)-R σ (p, n)) .

Abstract: In an array of acoustic resonators, the effective coupling coefficient of first and second filters (68 and 73) are individually tailored in order to achieve desired frequency responses. In a duplexer embodiment, the effective coupling coefficient of a transmit band-pass filter is lower than the effective coupling coefficient of a receive band-pass filter of the same duplexer. In one embodiment, the tailoring of the coefficients is achieved by varying the ratio of the thickness of a piezoelectric layer (94 and 100) to the total thickness of electrode layers (92, 94, 96 and 98). For example, the total thickness of the electrode layers of the transmit filter may be in the range of 1.2 to 2.8 times the total thickness of the electrode layers of the receive filter.
