Inventor: SANO TOSHIYUKI
IPC: H04N5/355
Filed: 2001-01-12
Abstract: A period for a long-term exposure signal is discriminated from a period for
a short-term exposure signal. Based on a discrimination signal, an AGC gain
selector (13) switches a set value for the gain and a knee point selector (14)
switches a set value for the knee point, thereby independently controlling the
gain and the knee point for each of the long-term exposure signal and the short-term
exposure signal.

Abstract: The invention provides a fire extinguisher horn having an inner tube, through which gas may pass from the nozzle of the fire extinguisher to the atmosphere, and an outer tube surrounding the inner tube to form a chamber around the inner tube along at least part of its length. The chamber provides an insulating space between the inner and outer tubes so that, although the inner tube may become very cold in use as the extinguisher gas expands through it, the outer surface of the outer tube remains closer to the ambient temperature. Thus, it is possible to hold the extinguisher horn safely. Preferably, the horn further comprises apertures that allow atmospheric air to flow through the chamber when the extinguisher is in use, maintaining the temperature of the chamber and, hence, of the outer tube close to the ambient air temperature.

IPC: H04B10/29

Abstract: An embodiment includes a polarization beam splitter and a feedback unit, preferably having an autocorrelator, a processing unit and a polarization controller. Polarized splitter separates the lower-speed tributary signals out of the higher-speed optical signal based upon a polarization relationship (e.g., orthogonal) between the tributary signals. The feedback unit, typically an autocorrelator and a polarization adjustment device, adjusts the higher-speed signal's state of polarization based upon an autocorrelation value of one of the lower-speed tributary signals. The autocorrelation value of one of the lower-speed tributary signals is provided to the polarization adjustment device, which typically includes a processing unit and a polarization controller. The polarization adjustment device adjusts the higher-speed signal's polarization state based upon the autocorrelation extinction ratio value. Ideally, this type of adjustment feedback is performed until the autocorrelation value is maximized for optimal demultiplexing. This type of adjustment is normally performed as part of a feedback loop to track changes in the higher-speed signal's state of polarization.
