Abstract: Provided are a plug that makes it possible to
readily connect a power supply such as a solar battery
or fuel cell to an external load or system power and to
enhance safety, as well as a power converter and power
generating apparatus having the plug. The plug has a
movable insulating member for covering the plug
electrodes when the plug is connected to an outlet and
for exposing the electrodes when the plug is not
connected to the outlet. In another example of the
plug, the plug has at least two electrodes and switches
corresponding to respective ones of the electrodes,
wherein the switches are opened (turned off) when the
plug is pulled out of the outlet. In still another
example of the plug, the plug has at least two
electrodes and a switch that is opened/closed in
dependence upon the state of the connection between the
electrodes and the outlet. When the plug is connected
to the outlet, the switch is closed (turned on) to

Abstract: Information and control are synchronized as they flow through a large distributed IP
router system with independent clocks. The IP router includes multiple equipment racks and
shelves, each containing multiple modules. The IP router is based on a passive switching
device, which in some embodiments is an optical switch. Control and data come to the
switching device from different sources, which have different clocks. Timing and
synchronization control are provided, such that information and control both arrive at the
switching device at the proper time. A single point in the system originates timing, which is
then distributed through various ASICs of the system to deliver configuration control to the
switch at the appropriate time. The launch of information to the switch is also controlled with
a dynamic feedback loop from an optical switch controller. Control aspects of the optical
switch are aligned by this same mechanism to deliver control and data to the optical switch
simultaneously.

Abstract: An ultrasonic probe which is used for ultrasonic diagnosis
comprises a transducer element, a sonic speed control element, and
an acoustic matching layer. The sonic speed control element has
a function to control the sonic speed of the ultrasonic waves
traveling therethrough, and has an inclined characteristic in the
sonic speed control effect in which the sonic speed control effect
changes continuously along the direction of travel of the
ultrasonic waves (thickness direction). The specific acoustic
impedance of the sonic speed control element at the end near the
living body corresponds to the specific acoustic impedance of the
acoustic matching layer at the end away from the living body. The
acoustic matching layer is preferably formed by layering 2 or 3
or more overlapped members. The boundary between two adjacent
members has a shape with a plurality of hills and valleys. The
crossing angle between the direction of travel of the ultrasonic

Abstract: An optical wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) device comprising
optical components that are integrated together to provide an optical WDM that does
not require circulators, that has simplified alignment and that is relatively low in cost.
The WDM device comprises an integrated port separator (251), a dispersive element (28) and a
reflector (30). The integrated port separator comprises various optical components that
spatially separate the polarization components of a light beam input (I1,I2) through an input
port of the integrated port separator. The spatially separated polarization components
are output from the integrated port separator and impinge on the dispersive element,
which spatially separates the wavelengths associated with the polarization components
impinging thereon. The spatially separated wavelengths then impinge on the
reflective element and are reflected with angles of polarization that depend on the
state of the reflective element. The reflected polarization components maintain their
respective wavelengths when they are reflected. However, when they are reflected,
they are directed along a path through the integrated port separator that depends on the
angles of polarization of the reflected polarization components, which depends on the
state of the reflective element being rotated or not rotated.

Abstract: An event clustering method uses foreground and background segmentation for clustering images from a group into similar events. Initially, each image is divided into a plurality of blocks, thereby providing block-based images. Utilizing a block-by-block comparison, each block-based image is segmented into a plurality of regions comprising at least a foreground and a background. One or more luminosity, color, position or size features are extracted from the regions and the extracted features are utilized to estimate and compare the similarity of the regions comprising the foreground and background in successive images in the group. Then, a measure of the total similarity between successive images is computed, thereby providing image distance between successive images, and event clusters are delimited from the image distances.
