Abstract: The invention relates to a method for regulating the average wavelength of a laser, especially a semiconductor laser, comprising a wavelength-selective, at least partially reflecting optical element ( 27 ) and being operated in a unimodal manner. The inventive method involves the following steps: a control variable influencing the optical resonator length (L<SUB>opt</SUB>) of the laser ( 29 ) over a pre-determined range is modified continuously or step-by-step; the characteristic of the optical monitoring power (P<SUB>mon</SUB>) which is influenced in this way and emerges on the side opposite the optical output of the laser ( 29 ), or the characteristic of a detection variable dependent on the optical monitoring power, is detected continuously or step-by-step; and the control variable influencing the optical resonator length (L<SUB>opt</SUB>) is regulated in such a way that a pre-defined value of the increase of the characteristic of the optical monitoring power (P<SUB>mon</SUB>) or the characteristic of the detection variable dependent on the optical monitoring power, is reached in a point inside the control variable range, or a pre-defined value of a functional dependence (F(dP<SUB>mon</SUB>/dL<SUB>opt</SUB>)) is reached, containing the increase of the characteristic of the optical monitoring power (P<SUB>mon</SUB>) or of the characteristic of the detection variable dependent on the optical monitoring power. Furthermore, the invention relates to a device for carrying out the inventive method.

Abstract: Infant nasal aspirators are known in which a hollow nose-piece, that in use communicates with the interior of a nostril, is connected via hollow pipe to a suction device. An aspirator (10) includes a nose-piece having formed therein a hollow chamber containing a sponge- or gauze-like filter (21). The material of the filter (21) absorbs mucus sucked thereinto and thereafter acts as a one way valve preventing backflow of the mucus.

Abstract: Hyperlinking or associating documents to other documents based on the names of people in the documents has become more desirable. Although there is an automated system for installing such hyperlinks into judicial opinions, the system is not generally applicable to other types of names and documents, nor well suited to determine hyperlinks for names that might refer to two or more similarly named persons. Accordingly, the inventor devised systems, methods, and software that facilitate hyperlinking names in documents, regardless of type. One exemplary system includes a descriptor module and a linking module. The descriptor module develops descriptive patterns for selecting co-occurent document information that is useful in recognizing associations between names and professional classes. The linking module tags names in an input document, extracts co-occurent information using the descriptive patterns, and uses a Bayesian inference network that processes a (non-inverse-document-frequency) name-rarity score for each name along with the name and selected co-current document information to determine appropriate hyperlinks to other documents, such as entries in professional directories.

Abstract: A communication apparatus and a communication method prevent responses from being simultaneously received from two or more communicating parties. A first NFC apparatus transmits data for requesting IDs, and acquires IDs sent from second and third NFC apparatuses in reply to the request. After acquiring the IDs of the second and third NFC apparatuses, the first NFC apparatus transmits data that includes their IDs as the data for the second and third NFC apparatuses. If the first NFC apparatus cannot properly acquire the IDs of the second and third NFC apparatuses, then it sends the data for requesting their IDs again. Upon receipt of the request for the IDs, the second and third NFC apparatuses generate their own IDs by using random numbers and send the generated IDs. If the second and third NFC apparatuses receive the request for their IDs again, then they re-generate their own IDs by using random numbers, and send the re-generated IDs again. The present invention can be applied to, for example, an IC card system.

Abstract: A thickened ion exchange polymer dispersion is obtained by applying ultrasonic vibration or a shearing force to an ion exchange polymer dispersion having a fluorinated polymer having sulfonic acid groups as an ion exchange polymer uniformly dispersed in a dispersion medium so that the viscosity of the dispersion at 25 DEG C at a shear rate of 10 (1/s) increases 2-2000 times in a thickening step. When formed into a membrane, the dispersion can forms an ion exchange membrane having a uniform and small thickness, high strength, which is free from cracking and shows constant swelling in water and steam. Further, a layer formed by applying a coating solution containing this dispersion and a catalyst powder comprising catalyst metal particles and a carbon support loaded with the catalyst metal particles to a substrate can be used to prepare a membrane-electrode assembly as a catalyst layer for at least one of the cathode and the anode by providing the catalyst layer adjacently to an ion exchange membrane. Because the catalyst layer is highly strong, has few defects and is excellently smooth, a high-performance membrane-electrode assembly for solid polymer electrolyte fuel cells can be obtained.
