Patent EP-1075096-A3 (EP)
Inventor: BANERJEE SONALI
IPC: H04B10/17
Filed: 2000-06-06
Abstract: Distortion and crosstalk that occurs when operating optical amplifiers in saturation is
substantially reduced by passively compensating for gain variations caused by changes in input
power to the optical amplifiers. More specifically, in an optical communication system having one
or more optical amplifiers, a "reservoir" optical channel is supplied in addition to the other traffic-carrying
optical channels. The wavelength of the reservoir channel is selected such that the power
level of the reservoir channel varies in response to changes in power levels of the traffic-carrying
channels. Because gain variations are typically highest around the gain peak region in an optical
amplifier's gain bandwidth, the reservoir channel in one exemplary embodiment is assigned a
wavelength around the gain peak region. As such, the reservoir channel can absorb or otherwise
receive most of the distortion and crosstalk while the traffic-carrying channels located away from
the gain peak region will experience less distortion and crosstalk. Importantly, this passive
compensation scheme can be used in an amplified system which is operating in the presence of
nonlinear distortions caused by gain variations, such as inter-modal distortion and saturation
induced crosstalk.

Abstract: A process for producing an electrodeposited copper foil, comprising electrodepositing a copper foil from an electrolyte containing copper sulfate dissolved therein, in which said electrolyte contains a small amount of lead (Pb) ions, which comprises adding a salt of a metal of Group IIA of the periodic table to the electrolyte in an amount of 10 to 150 mol per mol of lead (Pb) ions contained in the electrolyte so that the lead (Pb) ions contained in the electrolyte react with the metal of Group IIA of the periodic table to thereby form an insoluble composite substance to precipitate, said insoluble composite substance followed by removing it from the electrolyte and forming an electrodeposited copper foil in the electrolyte having the lead (Pb) ions removed therefrom. The invention further provides an electrodeposited copper foil produced by the above process, a copper-clad laminate comprising an insulating substrate having at least one side thereof laminated with this electrodeposited copper foil, and a printed wiring board having desirable wiring pattern formed from the electrodeposited copper foil of the copper-clad laminate.

Abstract: Good receiving characteristics are achieved by receiving a path
immediately after the path appears. 
     A path timing comparing section (3) compares correlation peak
values and their path timings detected from a delay profile with
correlation peak values and their path timings assigned to fingers (5)
in the previous cycle. If a path timing determining section (4)
determines from the comparison result that a path with high
intensity level has appeared, it immediately assigns the path
to a finger (5). This enables maintaining good receiving
characteristics.

Abstract: A variable resolution transition placement circuit in an
electrophotographic imaging device allows transitions to be placed within a
stream of video data (408) so that the pixel resolution achieved over a scan line is
adjustable on a pixel by pixel basis using a system clock (400). Pixel data defines
transition positions relative to a synthesized video clock (402) defining pixel time
periods. A converter converts positions of the transitions relative to the
synthesized video clock (402) to positions relative to the system clock (400) using
a value provided by a synthesized video clock (402) to system clock transform
generator. The value can change between synthesized video clock cycles
(402) to change the pixel resolution. A synthesized video generator generates
values of a synthesized video clock (402) relative to the system clock (400). Offset
values generated from values of the synthesized video clock (402), the positions of
the transitions relative to the system clock (400), and phase difference values from
a phase measuring device (102) are combined to determine the positions at which
the transitions will be generated relative to the system clock (400). The values
representing the positions at which the transitions will be generated are stored in a
transition queue. The integer portions of these values are decremented on
each system clock cycle (400). When the integer portions of these values reach
zero, the fractional portion of these values (representing the position of transitions
within system clock cycles (400)) are provided to transition generation logic
to generate transitions at the specified positions in system clock cycles (400).

Abstract: An electronic device battery pack for a battery requiring
cycling to prolong lifetime is divided into at least two
parallel cells for which the charging state is automatically
maintained. When external power is available and one or more
cells is substantially discharged, the substantially
discharged cell(s) are selected one at a time to be fully
drained and recharged. A partially discharged but not
substantially discharged cell will be left in that state until
use of the electronic device has substantially discharged the
cell. Once a cell has been recharged, the next substantially
discharged cell is drained and recharged, and so on until all
cells are fully charged. If the charging of a cell is
interrupted by removal of the external power, another cell is
utilized to provide power to the electronic device and
recharging is resumed once the external power is restored. A
device kept in a charging cradle except when being utilized
may thus be used and returned to the charging cradle without
adversely impacting battery life.

part between the outer link members. The inner or outer link members of each link has
a row of teeth for engagement in openings between links of the drive chains. The
drive chains being disposed so as to engage the teeth at a rectilinear stretch of the
chain loop so as to drive the chain in a longitudinal direction. The inner and outer
links of the conveyor chain being arranged to define an opening designed to receive a
projection on said load. The assembly serves to spread the load between the drive
chains and their drive systems. The conveyor chain does not articulate under load and
can be reduced in weight. This results in reduced chain wear, elimination of the
polygonal effect, the facility to carry increased loads and enables the chain to travel at
