Abstract: A modulating apparatus (110) modulates data to be
transmitted according to a predetermined modulating system and
generates a modulated wave, so that an optical device (122) is
driven by the modulated wave and a light-modulated wave (10)
is transmitted. As a result, an optical data communication can
be realized. Since the optical device (122) has non-linearity,
a cross modulated wave is generated by the modulation of the
data. However, if a carrier frequency is chosen so that the
cross modulated wave does not enter a frequency band for
transmitting the data, the problem of the cross modulated wave
can be removed and data transmission without distortion can be
achieved. The cost can be low if an LED is utilized as the optical
device. Also, high-speed data transmission is possible if a
multi-value modulating system is utilized.

Abstract: Selon l'invention, une ou plusieurs surfaces extérieures d'une mousse extrudée sont revêtues par co-extrusion d'une peau de polymère sur la surface de manière à réduire la diffusion de gaz de moussage hors des alvéoles de la mousse polymère de solidification. L'effet d'étanchéité peut impliquer de revêtir un côté de la mousse extrudée (forme AB) ou les deux côtés (forme ABA). Les peaux peuvent être solides ou en mousse. En variante, un cylindre est formé à partir d'une filière annulaire et, de préférence, d'un mandrin cylindrique de refroidissement. Les propriétés physiques optimales de la structure peuvent être obtenues par extrusion et étirage du cylindre de mousse sur un mandrin cylindrique refroidi qui étend le diamètre du cylindre. Ceci s'explique par l'étirement de la structure de mousse dans les sens longitudinal et latéral. De préférence, le polymère de moussage présente une résistance à la fusion intrinsèque et un durcissement par écrouissage de façon que les alvéoles présentent une taille et une forme plus consistantes. Les polymères préférés sont le polypropylène ou le polystyrène.
