Abstract: A bi-directional wavelength division multiplexing self-healing optical network is disclosed that is constructed of a bi-directional self-healing optical network with one strand of optical fiber which uses a wavelength switching bi-directional add/drop multiplexing unit. The bi-directional wavelength division multiplexing self-healing optical network includes a plurality of nodes. Each of the nodes include a wavelength switching bi-directional add/drop multiplexing section and a switching section for sensing whether at least one optical signal, which is received from a plurality of odd- and even-numbered channel pairs, exists, and for switching such an optical signal to at least one failure-free channel. This allows the optical signals to be transmitted through pairs of failure-free channels when a failure, such as breakage of the optical fiber, takes place. The network causes the same data to be carried on each odd- and even-numbered channel of a pair of channels, separates and transmits the carried data in opposite directions within a single optical fiber between each node. A check is performed to determine whether data to be transmitted exists in order to perform switching.

Abstract: Droplet deposition apparatus comprises an array of fluid chambers (300,310), each chamber communicating with an orifice for droplet ejection, a common fluid inlet manifold (220) and a common fluid outlet manifold (210,230), and means for generating a first fluid flow into the inlet manifold, through each chamber in the array and into the outlet manifold, the fluid flow through each chamber being sufficient to prevent foreign bodies in the fluid from lodging in the orifice. Each chamber is associated with means for effecting droplet ejection from the orifice resulting in a second fluid flow simultaneously with the fluid first flow through the chamber. The resistance to flow of one of the inlet and outlet manifolds is chosen such that the pressure at a fluid inlet to any chamber in the array varies between any two chambers by an amount less than that which would give rise to significant differences in droplet ejection properties between these two chambers. The first fluid flow is greater than the maximum value of the second fluid flow.

Abstract: A set of three cathodes, a control electrode, an
accelerating electrode, a first focus electrode, a second focus
electrode, a third focus electrode, a fourth focus electrode,
a final accelerating electrode and a shield cup electrode are
provided successively in an electron beam travelling direction.
The shield cup electrode has a pair of screen-shaped electrodes
that sandwich electron-beam through-holes in a vertical
direction. A quadrupole lens that has a horizontal convergent
action and a vertical divergent action is generated by an
electrical potential difference between the screen-shaped
electrodes and the final accelerating electrode. Accordingly,
even if vertical and horizontal convergence power difference
in a main lens formed by the fourth focus electrode and the final
accelerating electrode is not large, a composite lens formed
through a combination of the quadrupole lens and the main lens
has strong horizontal convergence power and weak vertical
convergence power.

Abstract: There are provided with a determination means for
determining whether or not the correlation between the pressure
value detected by the primary pressure sensor (114) and the
pressure value detected by the secondary pressure sensor (115)
is an actually impossible relation (Step 5), and a switchover
means for switching over to an open control while prohibiting
a feedback control when the correlation is determined to have
become a relation actually impossible by the determination means
(Step 6). Presence or absence of a fault to the primary pressure
sensor (114) or the secondary pressure sensor (115) (particularly,
fault of fixed output voltage) is judged based on the correlation
between the output voltage of the primary pressure sensor (114)
and the output voltage of the secondary pressure sensor (115)
to prohibit the control of a primary pressure and a secondary
pressure using the hydraulic pressure sensors when it is judged
that there is a fault.
