Abstract: The invention relates to solid state relay circuits
which produce a low level of electrical noise.
The invention has a switch circuit (2) with a primary
switch including a thyristor (7,9) for controlling an AC
power supply and a control circuit (4) for receiving a
control input signal (25) which controls the operation of
the primary switch. The switch circuit (2) and the
control circuit (4) are electrically isolated from one
another and coupled to one another by first (11,12) and
second couplers (19,26), both of which can be optical
couplers. The signal received by the control circuit (4)
varies with the AC supply voltage such that a signal
is emitted from the control circuit (4) at a
predetermined AC supply voltage amplitude as said AC
supply voltage approaches zero in order to actuate
the primary switch.

Abstract: An optical gain equalizer is provided with an erbium-doped
optical fiber (EDF). The gain equalizer selects two
lights out of wavelength-division-multiplexed light,
controls pumping light to the EDF based upon the result of
the comparison of the levels, and flattens the inclination
of the gain of the wavelength-division-multiplexed light.
Another optical gain equalizer is provided with an EDF and
a variable attenuator. The optical gain equalizer selects
two wavelengths of the wavelength-division-multiplexed light
and attenuates the wavelength-division-multiplexed light
based upon the result of a comparison between the levels of
the two selected wavelengths of light. The pumping light
powr to the EDF that amplifies the wavelength-division-multiplexed
light is controlled based upon this attenuation,
and the inclination of the gain of the wavelength-division-multiplexed
light is flattened.

Abstract: A vehicular electronic key system includes an
on-vehicle apparatus which is communicable with an
electronic key when the electronic key is in a
predetermined area outside of a vehicle. The
on-vehicle apparatus generates alarm when a door
lock operation is executed from the outside of the
vehicle and when the on-vehicle apparatus is not
capable of communicating with the electronic key.
Further, on-vehicle apparatus generates alarm when a
key ID does not corresponds with an apparatus ID.
Therefore, the electronic key system can firmly
prevent the electronic key from being mislaid in the
vehicle.

Abstract: There is disclosed a ternary lithographic att-PSM (half tone)
photomask that allows to simultaneously expose a
photoresist-coated semiconductor wafer with three different
levels of light intensity during the photolithography process.
The improved photomask comprises a transparent plate having a
patterned layer of a phase shift material (PSM) according to a
first configuration formed thereon and a patterned layer of
chromium according to a second configuration formed onto the
patterned PSM layer. Each of said first and second
configurations corresponds to a different masking level. Using
this photomask, it is thus now possible to produce a
photoresist layer having a corrugated surface in a single
exposure pass of the semiconductor wafer during the
photolithography process instead of using two photomasks and
two exposure steps as usual.

Abstract: A data mapping management server (72) collects data mapping information about functions for providing virtual storage regions, and provides an administrator with a management view on which the virtual storage regions created/managed in each virtual storage region providing function can be comprehensively grasped based on the collected information. The order to migrate data with the destination after mapping alteration can be accepted on interactive views. The data mapping management server (72) produces a procedure plan for carrying out the accepted data mapping alteration order, and presents it to the administrator. The administrator decides if this plan can be carried out. If the administrator permits this plan to be carried out, the server orders each virtual storage region providing function to migrate data and create new virtual storage regions according to the produced plan.

Abstract: Flexible joint which is used for the repair during the production of metallic
tubes which enclose loosely inside them optical fibers, surrounded by a
suitable filling material or for the connection of long lengths of the above
mentioned tubes during the manufacturing of submarine cables which contain
these tubes. 
     The joint comprises a connecting metallic tube (6), which connects externally
with overlapping at its ends the metallic tubes (3, 10) after splicing is
performed between the optical fibers which they enclose and which are
separated in bundles (1,2). 
     The mechanical connection of the joint is achieved through plastic
deformation of the over-applied connecting metallic tube by creating grooved
rings (11) at the sections where it overlaps the metallic tubes to be connected
(3,10). The water tightness of the joint is obtained by welding the ends (8) of
the over-applied connecting metallic tube (6) to the external surface of the
metallic tubes to be connected (3,10). In the case the metallic tubes carry a
plastic coating (4), this is restored in the area of the joint (9, 5).
