Abstract: A distributed feedback laser selectively performs one of two oscillations in different polarization modes, TE or TM. 
     Two modulation currents are injected into different electrodes of the semiconductor laser having a plurality of electrodes. The relationship between the phases of the two modulation currents is so adjusted that an output waveform is not distorted especially when a modulation frequency is low. Polarization modulation is applied as the modulation form.

Abstract: A first energy transfer circuit transfers the energy that stores in the transformer while the first switching element is ON, to the output side through an output winding of the transformer during the subsequent OFF period. A second switching element and the output winding of the second energy transfer circuit are connected in a circuit loop that runs through an input terminal, an output terminal, the load, the other output terminal and the other input terminal and transfers energy from the input side to the output side via the output winding when the second switching element is ON. The control circuit controls the ON pulse and the ON timing of the first switching element and the second switching element. A stable output voltage relative to a wide range of input voltages is obtained and, at the same time, a power factor correction is achieved.

Filed: 1995-11-29
Abstract: In an information processing system which operates applications by linking them in one computer or between a plurality of computers, information by which applications of each computer of the system are allocated to a predetermined hierarchical structure is stored. In specifying an application, a path to the application in this predetermined hierarchical structure is used as identification information of the application. This provides a flexible inter-application cooperative system capable of meeting a complicated environment in which the components can dynamically change, in a system constituted by one or a plurality of computers.

Abstract: A system for digitally trapping color images on a pixel-by-pixel is employed, whereby for each cyan, yellow, magenta and black color separation, an object-oriented trapping process is carried out. After each object is categorized, the original image is separated into a first copy and a second copy. Edge blurring is performed on the edges of the first copy of the original image; masking of a border region is completed on the second copy of the original image according to a Laplacian filter, a difference recursive filter or other method. A merged image is created by combining the blurred edge first copy of the image with the mask bordered second copy of the original image; the mask is thereafter removed from the merged image.

Abstract: There is disclosed a technique for efficiently utilizing memory in determining a next state accumulated cost in a communications system or a Viterbi decoder. The system includes a memory having an array of registers. A first present state accumulated cost is retrieved from a first storage register of the array. A second present state accumulated cost is retrieved from a second storage register of the array. A first next state accumulated cost is calculated based on the first present state accumulated cost. The first next state accumulated cost is stored in the first storage register of the array. An advantage of the invention is that such a technique requires less memory to calculate and store accumulated costs. The number of memory locations required is one for each individual state, which is substantially half of the memory locations required previously.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an MRI apparatus capable of preventing the quality of an image from being degraded under the influence of eddy currents and residual magnetization caused by a phase encode gradient. While an RF pulse P1 is sent, a phase encode gradient gy(i) is applied to a warp axis and a read gradient rr is applied to a read axis, an NMR signal is received, followed by application of a rewind gradient gyr(i)' to the warp axis. The rewind gradient gyr(i)' is defined as "(a basic component of opposite polarity equal in time integral value to the phase encode gradient gy(i)) + (a warp-axis correction component for correcting the influence of eddy currents or residual magnetization caused by the phase encode gradient gy(i))".

Abstract: The method involves transmitting signals between a base station (FP) and a repeater (RP), and between the repeater and a number of mobile units (PP), bidirectionally. The repeater shifts the transmission time slots (TX) with mobile unit functionality (MT) in a frame with respect to time, to minimize distance between the transmission and reception slots. The maximum number of bits for which the transmission time slot is shifted, is determined from the largest possible shift of the last slot in the frame with respect to the first time slot in the next frame, if the last slot is a transmission slot in the mobile unit mode and the first slot in the next frame is a transmission slot in a base unit mode.

Abstract: A fluid flow control valve is provided comprising a valve seat inside a housing for defining
a passage opening in the housing and a valve seal positioned against the valve seat for closing off
fluid flow. A push rod extends from the valve seal and through the passage opening. The push
rod is moveable for moving the valve seal off the seat to open the valve. The valve seal is
restricted to substantially axial movement, preferably by a spring biasing the valve seal against the
valve seat which spring is sized so as to engage the walls of the passage. A cam shaft rotatably
mounted in the housing is provided for moving the push rod upon rotation of the cam shaft. A
handle is non-rotatably connected to the shaft for rotating the cam shaft. A latch may be provided
for releasably locking the handle in a position where the valve is open. A safety may also be
provided on the latch arm so as to prevent the handle from being moved accidentally. A
manipulator accessible through an opening in the handle operates to both effect engagement of the
latch and release the safety. The valve is configured for maximizing fluid flow by allowing fluid to
flow around the outside rather than through the inside of the valve assembly. Moreover, a
substantial portion of the cam shaft is positioned out of the passage to maximize fluid flow around
the shaft when the valve is open.

to a call line that is independent of the system to be monitored. A controller is
connected to the monitored system and to the communications module. The
controller includes at least one detector for sensing various off-normal conditions
relevant to operating the monitored system. The controller also includes
an auto-dialer that is responsive to the detectors for triggering a call to a
remote site via the telecommunications module upon sensing the presence of
one of the off-normal conditions. A backup power source is connected to
power the controller and the communications module if a primary power
source fails. Preferably, the backup source includes at least one battery and
the backup source, the controller, and the communications module are
contained in a housing that is separate from the monitored system. Inputs to
the preferred self-contained unit include a cable from a telecommunications
switch (e.g., CBX) and ancillary inputs from equipment such as servers and
alarm equipment. A service port is included to allow on-site diagnostic
servicing and reprogramming of either or both of the monitored system and
the monitoring unit. Non-volatile memory is included and can be upgraded
locally using the service port or remotely using the communications module.
Because the communications module is detachable, the module can be
upgraded as desired, without affecting the implementation of the controller
logic and circuitry.
