Patent EP-0844511-A3 (EP)
IPC: G02F1/355
Filed: 1993-10-07
Abstract: An optical wavelength converting device is provided with
a LiTaO 3  substrate, a plurality of inverted-polarization
layers periodically arranged in an upper surface of the LiTaO 3 
substrate, and an optical waveguide crossing the inverted-polarization
layers. The upper surface of the LiTaO 3  substrate
is directed toward a -X-crystal axis direction. The inverted-polarization
layers are formed by exchanging Ta +  ions of the
LiTaO 3  substrate for H +  ions. The substrate is formed by
cutting out LiTaO 3  crystal along a plane inclined to the C-crystal
axis towards the X-crystal axis. The spontaneous
polarization is directed in a +C-crystal axis direction.
The optical waveguide is formed by exchanging Ta +  ions of
the LiTaO 3  substrate and the inverted-polarization layers
for H +  ions to set a refractive index of the optical
waveguide higher than that of the LiTaO 3  substrate. The
optical waveguide extends in a -Y-crystal axis direction.
Fundamental waves polarized in a transverse electric mode
induce electric field directed in ±Y-crystal axis
directions and are converted into second harmonic waves in
the optical waveguide.

Abstract: In an electric power steering apparatus, it is judged
whether or not a value of primary delay of temperature increase
in a driving circuit for an electric motor (5) tends to decrease,
and when the value of primary delay is judged to tend to
decrease, a new value of primary delay is obtained with a time
constant set smaller, so that an upper limit value of a motor
current can be decided on the basis of the new value of primary
delay. Thus, a steering power can be rapidly recovered.

Abstract: A shift by wire vehicle transmission system includes control methods that are
especially useful for controlling the transmission under start-from-stop conditions.
Since the master clutch (18) must be manually operated under such conditions, the
invention includes a method of determining whether the clutch (18) is open or closed.
The rotational speed of the engine output shaft (16) is compared to the rotational speed
of the transmission input shaft (20) and if the difference between those speeds is greater
than a preselected value, the clutch (18) is determined to be open. Another use of the
disclosed method is to provide an indication to the driver whether a desired gear has
been engaged. A visual or audible signal indicates to the driver that the desired
gear is not yet engaged. Once engagement is confirmed, the signal is turned off and
the driver knows that the desired shift has been accomplished.

signal (4) and an input signal preceding by two symbol
periods, a four-symbol differential detector (24) for
performing phase comparison between the current input
signal (4) and an input signal preceding by four symbol
periods, and two error correction circuits (25, 27). By
making use of the four-symbol differential detection
signal, error correction of the two-symbol differential
detection signal is performed by the error correction
circuit (25) while error correction of the one-symbol
differential detection signal is performed by using the
corrected two-symbol differential detection signal. By
diminishing the error of the two-symbol differential
detection signal (6), the error correcting capability for
