Abstract: In this invention, in an optical disk (1) on which data is to be recorded in units of one ECC block constructed by 16 sectors, dummy data is recorded at the manufacturing time or at the initial time such as the application starting time, then the dummy data is reproduced to determine a sector with primary defect, the address of the sector which is determined to have the primary defect is recorded on the optical disk (1), and at the time of data recording, data recording is effected in units of one ECC block while skipping over the sector with the primary defect. The determining condition for the primary defect is a case where address data of the address field cannot be reproduced (first condition), or where the number of rows in which the number of error bytes is four or more is five or more (second condition). Further, in the optical disk (1) on which data is to be recorded in units of one ECC block, data is recorded at the time of data recording other than the initial time, then the data is reproduced to determine an ECC block having a sector with secondary defect, and data of the ECC block which is determined to have the sector with secondary defect is recorded in an ECC block which is separately prepared. The determining condition for the secondary defect is a case where address data of the address field cannot be reproduced (first condition), where the number of rows in which the number of error bytes is four or more is five or more (second condition), where the number of rows in which the number of error bytes is four or more is not larger than five, the number of rows in which the number of error bytes is four or more is three or more and the number of rows in which the number of error bytes in one block area is four or more is ten or more (third condition), or where at least two sector areas in which the number of rows in which the number of error bytes is four or more is five or less and the number of rows in which the number of error bytes is four or more is three or more are present in one block area (fourth condition).

Abstract: A method and apparatus for reducing noise in optical communication systems, wherein the frequency of light output from a signal laser is modulated or dithered to broaden the optical spectrum of the signal laser. The broadening allows error-free data transmission within signal bands, despite the presence of optical beat interference. Different dithering tones are emitted by each laser in the network. The dithering tone for each signal laser in an optical network is chosen so that distortion resulting from the dithering tone falls outside the signal bands.

Abstract: A spread spectrum communication receiver includes a transmission path state estimating unit 6 which estimates states of paths from a received signal, and demodulator units 1, 2, 3 independently performing demodulation processes on signals propagated through the respective paths. A symbol combiner 5 combines output signals of the demodulator units 1, 2, 3. A decision unit 7 is directly or indirectly coupled to the symbol combiner 5 and makes a decision on an output signal of the symbol combiner 5. An unnecessary component eliminating unit 4 eliminates a component of a first symbol which is an unnecessary component that is propagated through one of the paths and overlaps with a received component of a second symbol to be demodulated, so that the unnecessary component has been eliminated from the output signal of the decision unit.

Abstract: Limit depth in excavation is to be increased by making up a deficiency of
excavation in traversing excavation. To this end, the present invention provides a
method of excavating an underground continuous ditch by rotating a chain type

cutter (4) is changed from a rake-up direction in normal excavation to a rake-down
direction and excavation is performed while the cutter is moved vertically, to

Abstract: A high speed communications system is provided which uses a selectable, desirable
portion of the total available bandwidth of a transmission channel. In a preferred
embodiment, the invention is an ADSL compatible modem which selects a sub-set of the
available downstream DMT sub-channels based on an evaluation of such sub-channels by
appropriate signal processing circuitry. An analog front end (AFE) contains sub-band
filtering causes an upstream transceiver to use only this selected number of available sub-channels
for downstream data transmission. This reduces hardware costs and complexity
while still preserving compatibility with applicable ADSL standards and providing a high
speed data link. The target data rate of the modem can be further enhanced to the point of
achieving full protocol capability by increasing or upgrading the AFEs, and/or the signal
processing circuitry in order to increase the number of processable transmitted downstream
sub-channels.

material at a uniform density over the terrain. The metering
disk is a component of a product container which is removably

to disperse the deposited material at a uniform distance from the
apparatus, and the position on which the material is deposited on
the impeller is adjustable. A clutch permits the user to
