IPC: G06T15/00
Filed: 2000-05-18
Abstract: An image generating apparatus and image generating method determine the distributions state of dot-sequences on a two-dimensional screen using two-dimensional Gaussian distribution in the event that the plurality of dot-sequences randomly exist in a sphere within the three-dimensional space, and generate an image of dot-sequences on the two-dimensional screen based on the distribution state on the two-dimensional screen. The two-dimensional Gaussian distribution can be factored to the product of one-dimensional Gaussian distributions, and the one-dimensional Gaussian distributions can be generated by uniform random numbers. Thus, it is easy to create an image by projecting a plurality of dot-sequences randomly existing in a three-dimensional space onto a two-dimensional screen.

Abstract: An optical waveguide system for securing live fibres against tampering and tapping off of data in optical fibre communication links is disclosed. The communication link includes a waveguide (1000) which extends from one location to another for transmitting a data signal. A data transmitter (20) launches the data signal into the fibre (1000) and a data receiver (22) receives the data signal. A sensing signal transmitter (40) launches a sensing signal into the fibre (1000) and a sensing signal receiver (42) receives the sensing signal for the fibre (1000). The transmitters (20 and 40) are coupled to the fibre (1000) by wavelengths multiplexing/demultiplexing coupler (30) via input arms (76 and 66) of the coupler (30). The signals are transferred to the receivers (22 and 42) by a further wavelength multiplexing/demultiplexing coupler (32) via output arms (7c and 6c). The couplers (30 and 32) ensure that the signals are combined with minimum power loss and are separated for transmission to the detectors also with minimum power loss and with substantially all of the data signal being transmitted to the receiver (22) and all the sensing signal being transmitted to the receiver (42).
