Patent EP-0887954-A3 (EP)
Inventor: HENTSCHEL CHRISTIAN
IPC: H04B10/29
Filed: 1997-07-18
Abstract: Described is a noise figure measurement for optical amplifiers by disabling a
signal of a channel (Ch 3) before the measurement of the amplified
spontaneous emission (ASE) for that channel (Ch 3), and by distributing a
power equivalent (Δ p out,     2 , Δ P out,4   ) which is substantially equal to the power of
the signal of the disabled channel (Ch 3), at at least one other wavelength
(Ch 2, Ch 3). The noise figure measurement can be used as well in multi-channel
applications such as WDM, as in a single channel operation.

Abstract: Provided is a vending machine of which the depth is
shortened by eliminating dead spaces, so that commodities
can be dispensed with stability and loaded more easily into
commodity columns. In particular, a plurality of commodity
storage sections each including a plurality of rows of
commodity columns are arranged in stages in a machine body
and behind a door. Each commodity storage section is
provided with a swingable commodity guide flap that covers
its front face. When the door is closed, a commodity chute
in which the commodities selectively dispensed from the
commodity columns can fall freely is defined between
opposite commodity guide flaps in the commodity storage
sections on the body side and on the door side. When the
door is opened, the commodity chute is removed, and the
respective front faces of the storage sections are exposed
to provide a working space for commodity loading, for
example.

IPC: G02F1/133
Filed: 1997-05-16
Abstract: A passive liquid crystal device (Figure 1) is driven in a multiplexed manner by a strobe 
signal (STB) applied in succession to a plurality of row electrodes and data signals 
(DATa, DATb) applied to a plurality of column electrodes. A resultant signal (RESa, 
RESb) comprising the combination of the strobe and data signals is applied to the pixels 
in the device. The liquid crystal device is sensitive to the polarity of the resultant signal. 
Typically a blanking pulse of a first polarity is applied followed by a resultant signal of 
the opposite polarity. A first data signal (DATa) is intended to change the state of the 
relevant pixel (SELECT) while a second data signal (DATb) is intended to leave the 
pixel in the same state (NON-SELECT). According to the invention the resultant signal 
(RESa, RESb) comprises at least a portion which is substantially continuously varying. 
This can be achieved by either or both of the strobe and data signals including such a 
portion or portions. The invention may provide improved performance of the device 
through maximisation of the torque applied to the molecules of the liquid crystal during 
the switching process in response to a SELECT resultant (RESa). The invention is 
particularly applicable to ferroelectric liquid crystal devices (FLCDs).

Abstract: A self-clocked apparatus for eliminating race condition in high speed decoders is
provided. In multi-stage decoders, a first stage is generally composed of
predecoder blocks while a second stage is generally composed of decoder/driver
blocks. Each predecoder block receives several address bits and outputs a high or
low level signal depending on the address bits state. Each decoder/driver block
receives the output signal of the corresponding predecoder block, and outputs a
signal selecting or not selecting a connected line. The self-clocked apparatus of the
invention is cross-connected between adjacent predecoder blocks such that the ith
decoder/driver block is controlled by the i + 1th predecoder block, and conversely.
No external clock signal is used, and no time margins is required. Furthermore, the
invention provides a robust electrical design.

Abstract: A wide high concentration P +  type region (20) is
formed on the surface of an N -  type epitaxial layer (2)
formed on a P type substrate (1) in the vicinity of the edge
portion of a cell region in which a transistor device is
formed. As a result, holes generated at the outside of the
cell region mostly flow through the P +  type region (20) and
reach to an emitter electrode (8). Therefore, the flow
amount of the holes does not concentrate on a channel P well
(4) for forming a channel region of the transistor device at
the cell edge portion, whereby a ruggedness against a latch-up
phenomenon can be improved.

Abstract: The present invention is a method and apparatus for vacuuming
toner waste from a toner sump (86) in a xerographic printing machine. A
xerographic module in the machine contains a photoconductor (20),
charging devices, a cleaning unit and the toner sump (86). When the toner
sump (86) approaches a full condition, the toner waste must be removed in
order to prevent failure of the xerographic module seals. This is
accomplished by removing the xerographic module from the machine,
opening a sealed toner sump port (88) and attaching a vacuum source (180) to the
toner sump port (88) so that the toner waste can be removed with the
vacuum source. A disposal adaptor tool sealingly engages the vacuum
source to the toner sump at the toner sump port, allowing the toner to
removed in a clean glove environment. Once the toner waste is
removed from the toner sump, a new toner seal is placed over the toner
sump port and the xerographic module is returned to the machine for
further use.

Abstract: Die Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren und eine Einrichtung
zur Wellenlängenstabilisierung für mehrkanalige optische
Übertragungssysteme. 
     In mehrkanaligen optischen Übertragungssystemen (WDM-Systeme)
ist gegenwärtig ein Trend hin zu immer höheren
Kanalzahlen erkennbar, wodurch sich die Kanalabstände
zwischen den einzelnen Trägersignalen verringern. Wegen der
Verringerung der Kanalabstände ergeben sich höhere
Anforderungen an die Wellenlängenstabilität der einzelnen
Trägersignale. 
     Bekannte Verfahren und Anordnungen zur
Wellenlängenstabilisierung verwenden aufwendige optische
Komponenten wie Frequenzdiskriminatoren oder Referenzlaser. 
     Bei der vorliegenden Erfindung wird statt dessen direkt
deroptische Multiplexer für die Erzeugung des optischen
Gesamtsignals verwendet. Dies ermöglicht eine einfache
elektronische Regelung der Wellenlängen der optischen
Trägersignale mittels einer Auswertung der Amplitudenwerte
von niederfrequenten Signalen, die den optischen
Trägersignalen mittels Amplitudenmodulation aufmoduliert

Abstract: A process and apparatus is described to improve halftone image quality by
integrating different halftoning algorithms and managing their transitions based on
image content. The method works by applying different halftoning methods to
different regions of a continuous-tone image. Regions of the continuous-tone image
are evaluated to determine suitability for halftoning by at least two different halftoning
methods. The most suitable halftoning method is then used to halftone a particular
region. An activity index is used to evaluate each region. A halftoning method such as
error diffusion is deemed most suitable for application to detailed continuous-tone
image areas. A halftoning method such as smooth dither is deemed most suitable for
application to flat continuous-tone image areas . Also, hysteresis can be introduced to
compensate for sharp transitions in the image and thereby eliminate ghosting.

Abstract: In a mobile communication system using a code

factors of other ordinary symbols. As a result, it
