IPC: H01S5/50
Filed: 2000-04-12
Abstract: To provide an optical amplifier which optically
amplifies inputted WDM light and outputs the amplified signal
light, and a control circuit of an optical branching unit and
an optical output level detector and an optical amplifier,
which optically branches part of the amplified signal light
and monitors the light and controls the gain of the optical
amplifier and controls the optical output level of the
amplified signal light so that it may be constant.
Furthermore, there is provided a quasi-signal WDM which
wavelength-division-multiplexes the first and second
quasi-signal lights having a wavelength shorter than the
wavelength band of the WDM light and a wavelength longer than
that with the WDM light and which puts the light in the optical
amplifier. On the output side of the optical amplifier, an
wavelength division multiplexer is arranged, and a first
amplified quasi-signal light and a second amplified
quasi-signal light are taken out of the amplified signal light
respectively, and optical output levels thereof are detected,
and the attenuation amount of a variable attenuator is
controlled so that the levels of both may be approximately
the same, and the gain of the optical amplification imposed
on the optical amplifier is controlled. The optical
amplification can be performed in the state where the
degradation of the gain flatness of the optical amplifier
itself caused by the change of the ambient temperature or the
like is prevented and the gain uniformity between each signal
light of the WDM light is kept.

Abstract: An automatic transmission comprises a plurality of clutches 11 ∼ 15,
which are provided to select power transmission paths, respectively, in a
parallel shaft speed change mechanism TM and a plurality of shift valves 60 ∼
68, which are used for controlling the supply and drain of hydraulic oil to and
from these clutches. For this automatic transmission, a control system
comprises a plurality of solenoid valves 81 ∼ 85, which are used for controlling
the supply and drain of a line pressure so as to control the actuation of these
shift valves. This system, when the shift lever is manipulated to set the
neutral range, sets the transmission into either a first neutral mode or a second
neutral mode depending upon the speed of the vehicle, the first neutral mode
being set when the vehicle is driving at a speed equal to or more than a critical
speed, and the second neutral mode being set when the vehicle speed is less
than the critical speed. In this control, the combination of on/off operations of
the solenoid valves for setting the first neutral mode is different from the
combination for setting the second neutral mode.

Abstract: The invention provides methods and apparatus for decoding multiple program information, e.g., audio, video or image information, in a communication system. In an illustrative embodiment, a multiple program decoder includes a deinterleaver for deinterleaving information corresponding to a set of frames, using a specified deinterleaving length. A given one of the frames includes information from each of at least a subset of the programs, and the frames are encoded using an outer code, e.g., a CRC code, RS code, BCH code or other type of linear block code, and an inner code, e.g., a convolutional code, turbo code or trellis coded modulation. The multiple program decoder includes an inner code decoder for decoding the inner code over one or more of the programs, and an outer code decoder for decoding the outer code for a selected one of the programs. The deinterleaving length of the deinterleaver and operating rate of the inner code decoder can be configured such that the multiple program decoder provides substantially instantaneous tuning within a given cluster of programs, or within a set of clusters each including multiple programs. The programs may, but need not, include jointly-coded audio programs. The invention may be implemented in numerous applications, such as simultaneous multiple program listening and/or recording, simultaneous delivery of audio and data, etc.

Abstract: Load balancing of activities on physical disk storage
devices (31A-31E) is accomplished by monitoring reading
and writing operations to blocks of contiguous storage
locations, such as logical volumes on the physical disk
storage devices to obtain disk utilization information .
The disk utilization information provides a selection of
one block pair. After testing to determine any adverse
effect of making that change, an exchange is made to more
evenly distribute the loading on individual physical disk
storage devices. The exchange involves the use of a pair
of specially configured logical volumes that receive
copies of the data to be exchanged, allow a
reconfiguration of the blocks in the block pair and the
transfer of the data back to the other blocks in the block
pair to effect the exchange.

The transaction server provides an input queue (330), an output queue (340) and a control queue (350). The control queue (350) resides on the transaction server. Start of a transaction (355), depicted as the dotted line, activates the transaction interface which initiates a data flow to the control queue and stores a unique session information. The data flow to the input queue stores a request to the transaction server. The completion of the transaction is signalled by a response in the output queue. The client retrieves this response, and deletes the control queue information in a same Unit of Work. In case the application program crashes before the transaction is completed, the session information in the control queue is used for recovery processing.
