Inventor: KOIKE SHIGEAKI
IPC: G11B27/031
Filed: 1995-11-28
Abstract: A data recording and reproducing apparatus (1) which can easily perform the editing of audio and/or visual data even at the camera site. In the data recording and reproducing apparatus (1), a VTR portion (10) and an MO disc portion (30) are integrally constituted. Audio and/or visual data input from an outside apparatus is recorded on a video tape (110) by the VTR portion, and further reproduced from the video tape and transferred to the MO disc device (32) at a high speed and recorded. The user of the data recording and reproducing apparatus (1) quickly finds the desired video image by actively utilizing the random access property of the MO disc device and sequentially inputs the same to the VTR device, records the same on the video tape (110), and performs the editing of the audio and/or visual data.

Abstract: Apparatus and methods for tensioning and steering a moving web (11) in a conveyance machine without contact of the web to the machine by means of a pair of parallel air bars (19, 21) in a single moveable frame (35) which is adapted to pivot controllably about two intersecting orthogonal axes (29, 41) in a plane through the air bars. The tensioning and steering apparatus is preferably isolated in sensing and response from the rest of the conveyance machine by suction feed rollers (15, 17) upstream and downstream from apparatus of the invention. Separate feedback control systems monitor the tension and position of the web and adjust the orientation of the frame about each axis to adjust tension and lateral position of the web independently and continuously. Additional fixed air bars (31, 33) on opposite sides of the web in the web path between the moveable air bars provide high and unvarying web wrap angles on the moveable air bars to increase the tension and steering operating range and sensitivity. An additional moveable air bar (27) is provided downstream of the pair of moveable air bars and is adapted to pivot controllably about another axis (49) orthogonal to the direction of the tensioning and steering axes so that the axial direction (12, 47) of the moving web (11) can be changed.

Abstract: The isobaric die for pressing ceramic tiles comprises a semi-die (1) having a plate (6;39;42;48,48a) delimiting a cavity (7) of the semi-die (1) in which is contained an incompressible fluid (F) and anchored to the said semi-die (1) by means of an elastic component (2;68) sealing the incompressible fluid inside the said cavity, the said plate (6;39;42;48,48a) being free to perform limited displacements closer to, and further from, the bottom of the cavity (7), the plate (6;39;48,48a) being provided with openings (22a;40;43) passing through it. 
     This affords the particular advantage of obtaining uniform pressing whilst maintaining a substantially homogeneous thickness of the tile, due to the discontinuities in the plate (6;39;48;48a) acting in a differentiated manner on the various areas of the surface of the membrane (2;68) in function of the loads transmitted locally by the powders during pressing.

The volume of space occupied by the storage apparatus itself is small, thus improving utilization of the available space. The invention may be applied to multi-tier parking lots for bicycles and automobiles, distribution warehouses and under-the-floor storage apparatuses.

Abstract: The method involves transmitting a preamble comprising several bits, before transmitting useful a block of useful data. Before the preamble is transmitted, a pilot signal is sent for a relatively short time and at a relatively large amplitude. The frequency of the pilot signal lies at a null point of the code used for transmitting the useful signal, or outside the signal spectrum of the useful signal. At the receiving end, a control signal is generated from the transmitted pilot signal and is used to activate the clock recovery circuit and/or the level control circuitry. The frequency of the pilot signal may correspond to the clock frequency of the useful signal being transmitted. The period of the pilot tone corresponds to about 5 bit periods of the useful signal. A pilot signal may also be transmitted at the end of a burst.

Abstract: Deep drawing of a work can be made by securing a certain amount of feed of the work from the side of a cushion ring to a vertical wall surface of a stationary die. In this drawing method, for the drawing of the work, a die part interlocked to a movable die is engaged in a recess of the stationary die in a direction different from the direction of pushing. An edge of the work is displaced in unison with the cushion ring and the movable die clamping it in cooperation, and the die part starts to push the work immediately before the instant when the work located in the vicinity of the cushion ring is brought into contact with the edge of the recess of the stationary die. The resistance of contact between the work and the stationary die thus is not increased in the vicinity of the cushion ring when the die part pushes the work, and a certain amount of feed of the work from the side of the cushion ring can be secured.

Abstract: The hollow segments (1) have an opening (1,2) at one end which is stepped down so that it fits into the open end (1.1) of the next cassette. The units are build-up to form a rigid wheel rim structure. Before assembly the stepped down sections are covered with e.g. a heat setting adhesive. To avoid having to distort the wheel during assembly of the last unit, the wheel rim is built-up from two halves which are plugged together. The wheel rim can be covered with fibre bonded plastics sheets to further reinforce it. The wheel rim is used e.g. for mounting between the outer rim and the hub of wheels running on rails.

Abstract: A light wavelength filtering circuit in a wavelength-division multiplexing light communication system minimizes transmission loss in the waveguide after wavelength discrimination by having a linear output waveguide added to an output end of a light wavelength discriminating element, at which a signal having a long wavelength is outputted. A curved output waveguide is added to the rear stage of the output end at which a signal having a relatively short wavelength is outputted. Hence, a radiation loss at the output waveguide at the output end is minimized, while a space between the output light waveguides is being widened. Additionally, a core layer bandgap wavelength at the output waveguide of the long wavelength signal is set to be longer than a core layer band gap wavelength in another region. Hence, a substantial light confinement is formed in a horizontal direction even in the output waveguide at the long wavelength signal side and even if the output waveguide at the long wavelength signal side is curved, and the radiation loss can be reduced.

Abstract: The present invention discloses methods and apparatus for implementing automatic graphics operations with selectable triggering mechanism. One mechanism is hardware related, using the vertical counter in the video control section of the graphics processor. The other mechanism is software related, using the host to directly command the graphics engine. The graphics operations are specified in the header file written by the host in the frame buffer memory. Several header files can be chained together to form a sequence of header files corresponding to very complex graphics operations. Automatic graphics operations, therefore, can be completed without further host intervention resulting in powerful graphics, video, and animation performance.

Abstract: Disposing optical fiber gratings 10a each reflecting
a wavelength λ1 which is different from a signal wavelength
λs along an optical fiber line 10 at suitable intervals and
positions. The wavelength λs of signal light is not
reflected by the grating 10a, but transmitted through the
optical fiber line 10. An optical pulse tester 14 outputs
probe pulse lights of wavelengths λ0, λ1, which are
different from the signal wavelength λs, at slightly
different times. The probe lights of the wavelengths λ0, λ1
are input into the optical fiber line 10 through an optical
adding and dividing device 16 and transmitted through the
optical fiber line 10. Reflected light of the wavelength λ1
of probe light contains therein reflection pulses of the
grating 10a, and each reflection pulse serves as a position
reference. The probe light of the wavelength λ0 does not
contain reflection light of the grating 10a. Comparison of
the reflected lights of the wavelengths λ0, λ1 to each other
by the optical pulse tester 14, provides determination of
whether there is a fault location, and, if so, detection of
fault location with high precision can be made.
