Patent EP-0878925-A3 (EP)
Inventor: MAJIMA MASAO
IPC: H04B10/07
Filed: 1998-05-13
Abstract: In a wavelength locking method, and in an apparatus
and a network system using the method, a wavelength
of a tunable filter is caused to track a wavelength of
light from a light source by controlling a control signal
by controlling an operation condition of the tunable
filter in a feedback control system of a wavelength
locking system. According to the method, an error signal
relevant to a deviation of the wavelength of the tunable
filter from the wavelength of the light source is
generated, an operation signal for feedback control of the
wavelength locking system is generated by using the error
signal, the operation signal is detected, and a bias
component of the control signal is corrected or renewed
based on the detected operation signal such that an
absolute value of the operation signal does not exceed
a predetermined value.

Abstract: An apparatus for cutting a tail in a web sheet (10) traveling through
a nip (21) between the queen roll (12) and king roll (14) of a calender (16)
includes a waterjet (30) positioned adjacent the edge of the web (10)
upstream from the nip (21) for directing a jet of water towards the web
(10) and the queen roll (12). The waterjet (30) cuts a tip or leader and
creates a tail (54) that continues to travel with the remainder of the web
sheet (10) towards and through the nip (21). The waterjet (30) penetrates
the web (10) and splashes against the queen roll (12) such that the wetted
portion of the queen roll (12) compresses against the leader of the tail (54)
to carry or pull the tail (54) around the queen roll (12). A doctor blade
(34) is mounted in engagement with the queen roll (12) in line with the tail
(54) to direct the tail (54) away from the queen roll (12) and towards the
next section (29) of the papermaking machine. Guide trays (36, 40)
positioned downstream of the doctor blade (34) guide the tail (54) to the
next section (29) of the papermaking machine. The doctor blade (34) can
be mounted stationary against the queen roll (12).

Abstract: An optical system such as an add and/or drop WDM multiplexer
allows the wavelength fluctuation of an optical carrier to be tracked so that a
corresponding fiber Bragg grating (FBG) can be responsively tuned. The
preferred embodiment of the wavelength tracking system in an optical system
such as an add and/or drop module includes a three-port optical circulator (22),
three optical fibers (12, 26, 28), a series of tunable FBGs (30, 32, 34, 36, 38
and 40), a source of a broadband optical noise signal (48), an optical spectrum
analyzer (OSA) (50), and an FBG tuner (44). In operation, an LED generates
modulated probe lightwaves that are inserted into a drop module (20). The
LED lightwaves and the optical carriers propagating through the drop module
are monitored by an OSA. The monitoring procedure determines the conditions,
in terms of target wavelengths of the FBGs, and the stability or instability
of the optical carriers. The FBGs are then tuned in response to the FBG and
optical carrier information. In another embodiment, the wavelength of an
optical carrier is tracked using a modulated tracking grating (94) and an FBG
(102) is adjusted in response to the tracking information.

Abstract: A mekod for delivering liquids is disclosed wherein a quantity of the liquid is
provided within a cell within a cassette. The cassette is received within a sleeve having an
open end. A flap at the open end of the sleeve extends inwardly through the open end
between the sleeve and cassette to abut a lip on the cassette and hold the cassette therein.
Impingement of the flap pushes the flap away from the lip to allow the cassette to move
out of the sleeve. A label mounted within the sleeve rotates between a viewable position
where it is visible through a window in the sleeve and a retracted position away from the
window. Extraction and reinsertion of the cassette into the sleeve moves the label from
the viewable to the non-viewable position.

Abstract: A terminal apparatus is provided for an electro-optic sampling probe
that performs measurement on signals transmitted on a distribution
constant transmission path such as a coaxial cable. The terminal
apparatus supports a projection portion of the electro-optic sampling probe.
In the terminal apparatus, an electrode such as a center electrode of a
connector connected with the distribution constant transmission path is
placed in an electric connection with a contact provided at a tip end of the
projection portion of the electro-optic sampling probe. The terminal
apparatus has a terminal circuit, which performs termination process on
the distribution constant transmission path. Herein, the terminal circuit
has impedance which is substantially equivalent to impedance of the
distribution constant transmission path. For example, the terminal circuit
is configured using a terminal resistor which is connected to the electrode.
Due to the termination process which is performed by the terminal
apparatus with respect to the distribution constant transmission path, the
electro-optic sampling probe is capable of performing high-precision
measurement in a stable manner on (potentials of) signals transmitted on
the distribution constant transmission path.
