Patent EP-0653382-A1 (EP)
Inventor: TSUCHIYA ICHIRO C O YOKOHAMA W
IPC: C03B37/014
Filed: 1994-11-11
Abstract: An optical fiber preform manufacturing apparatus which continuously monitors the weight of a preform during manufacture by a load cell without increasing the amount of offset of the preform. The preform (42) manufacturing apparatus includes a rotary chuck unit (34) moved vertically by an elevating unit (20) and a seed rod (38) gripped by the rotary chuck unit (34) and extending vertically downwards. At the time of manufacturing a preform (42), the elevating unit (20) and the rotary chuck unit (34) are driven to lift and rotate a starting rod (44) suspended from the lower end of the seed rod (38). A support plate (62) is fixed to the rotary chuck unit. Three or more load cells (64a,64b) are arranged between the support plate (62) and an elevating plate (26) of the elevating unit (20). The rotary chuck unit (34) is firmly supported by these load cells, so the rotating shaft (50) is not inclined. A hole is formed in the elevating plate (26), and the rotary chuck unit (34) extends through the hole with a gap therebetween. A load from the support plate (62), the rotary chuck unit (34), the seed rod (38), a starting rod (44) and the preform (42) acts on the load cells. Therefore, the weight of the preform can be detected from an output from the load cells.

A pillow portion (15) is formed in the one end portion at a region nearer to the end of the one end portion than the tongue. The pillow covers the tongue, and an extending end of the one watchband lays on the pillow in a longitudinal direction of the base.

Abstract: Thin-film circuits comprising e.g. TFTs have inferior performance as compared with monolithic integrated circuits, and this inferior performance limits their use for e.g. drive circuits in large-area electronic devices such as an active matrix liquid-crystal display. In accordance with the invention, feedback with an external amplifier (150) is used to enhance the performance of a thin-film circuit. The feedback is taken from parallel nodes (40) of sequential stages (T1) of the circuit so that a common feedback line (51) and common external amplifier (150) can be used, thus reducing the number of substrate terminals and external connections required. Various buffers may be included between the feedback line (51) and the feedback terminal (56) to reduce the capacitive load on the line (51).

Abstract: A ball joint compensates for manufacturing tolerances of the components and functions smoothly under large compressive loads. A rigid and resilient bearing seat (17) has an elastic restoring force that compensates for component tolerances under varying load conditions. A ball joint housing (2) and fitted bearing seat permit incremental increases in the load bearing area within the ball joint as an operating load increases. The increase in load bearing area permits the ball joint (1) withstand larger loads than in conventional ball joints without permanent deformation of the bearing seat (17). The ball joint (1) is more durable and operates more smoothly over a wider range of loads than conventional ball joints.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for reducing noise in optical communication systems (21,24,26,27,28) is effected by modulating or dithering the laser (21) output frequency at a relatively low rate. The laser (21) may be dithered by applying a low frequency sine wave (from 22) either to the resistive heater in the phase control section or to the laser's active section directly. By dithering the laser at a low frequency and at a sufficiently high amplitude to cause large optical frequency excursions, the noise caused by multipath interference will decrease without substantially increasing negative dispersion effects.

Abstract: A multi-zone restaurant type of griddle is modularly constructed so that all maintenance may be done at the front of the griddle housing. The griddle plate (28) is only three-eights of an inch thick with heat being spread uniformly by an aluminum plate (48) in intimate contact with the bottom of the griddle plate. A thermocouple temperature sensing element is located at the bottom of a hole in the underside of the griddle plate so that the element is very near the cooking surface and is sensitive to the temperature of the load on the cooking surface, as distinguished from being sensitive to the temperature of the heating element below the griddle plate. With the modular construction, the front access, and light weight, all of the repairable parts of the griddle may be removed and replaced by one man as distinguished from most prior art griddles where two-man service teams were routinely required because they had to lift and invert a very heavy griddle which had a very thick steel griddle plate.

Abstract: When an electronic instrument has taken a predetermined attitude, an attitude-detecting switch (19) incorporated in the instrument detects the attitude, and outputs a switch signal to a CPU (15). The CPU (15), in turn, drives a lighting device (21) for lighting a liquid crystal display device (17). The lighting device (21) is driven, for example, only when a predetermined number of pulses of the switch signal are generated within a predetermined period of time, or only when the switch signal has continued for a predetermined period of time or more. Thus, there are cases where the lighting device (21) is not driven irrespective of the generation of the switch signal. As a result, the lighting device (21) is prevented from operating so often, and hence the life of its battery is lengthened.
