Patent EP-1032145-A3 (EP)
Inventor: YANAGISAWA HIROKI
IPC: H03G3/30
Filed: 2000-02-25
Abstract: An automatic gain switching-type burst optical signal receiving circuit is
provided in which, even when an optical signal having a large power level is
inputted, waveform distortion can be suppressed effectively. An optical-signal-to-current
converting means, composed of a photodiode, receives an optical signal and
converts the received optical signal to a current signal Iin. A current-to-voltage
converting means, which is composed of a first transimpedance amplifier, a feedback
resistor unit and a first inverting amplifier, converts the current signal Iin to a
voltage signal. A current monitoring means, composed of a current mirror circuit,
generates a monitor current Imon by monitoring a current signal converted at the
optical-signal-to-current converting means. A gain controlling means, composed of
a second transimpedance amplifier, a feedback resistor, a second inverting amplifier,
a peak-value detecting circuit and an operational amplifier, controls a conversion gain
of said current-to-voltage converting means based on said monitor current Imon
monitored at said current monitoring means so that the voltage signal outputted from
said current-to-voltage converting means is not saturated.

Abstract: The present invention provides a skin care agent
comprising N-acetylglucosamine as an active ingredient.
The skin care agent is preferably in the form of tablets,
capsules, powder such as dust or granules, liquid or paste.

incorporated into foods such as confectioneries, powdered
soup and beverages. By orally ingesting the skin care
agent of the present invention, the N-acetylglucosamine as
an active ingredient is rapidly absorbed, and by utilizing
a part thereof as a starting material of acidic
mucopolysaccharides such as hyaluronic acid or chondroitin
sulfate, the moisture and tension of skin can be improved
and the rough skin and fine wrinkles can be prevented or
ameliorated.

Abstract: A balanced positioning apparatus comprises a balance mass which is supported so as
to be moveable in the three degrees of freedom, such as X and Y translations and rotation
about the Z-axis. Drive forces in these degrees of freedom act directly between the
positioning body and the balance mass. Reaction forces arising from positioning movements
result in corresponding movement of the balance mass and all reaction forces are kept within
the balanced positioning system. The balance mass may be a rectangular balance frame (2) having
the stators of two linear motors forming the uprights of an H-drive mounted on opposite
sides. The cross-piece of the H-drive spans the frame and the positioned object is positioned
within the central opening of the frame.

Abstract: The present invention provides for exposure apparatus including a projection
optical system that has an image field capable of exposing a shot area in a scanning
exposure apparatus in one shot. This allows a 1 in 1 exposure, with the shot area being the
maximum exposable range of the scanning exposure apparatus. In addition, the main
control unit changes the control factor of the exposure system contributing to the
throughput, in accordance with the minimum line width of the pattern. The control factor
is changed so that the state (or the value) moves into a state where more priority is put on
throughput, only when reduction in exposure accuracy is allowed. This makes it possible
to improve the throughput while maintaining the exposure accuracy, compared with the
case when the exposure system is controlled based on the same value at all times.

Abstract: An electronic pressure sensor 50 is incorporated into
a discharge pressure portion of a compressor 20. If the
pressure sensor 50 indicates that the discharge pressure
exceeds a maximum value, the operation of the compressor
motor 24 is stopped. The pressure sensor preferably sends
an electronic signal to a microprocessor 34 such that the
pressure can be compared to a predetermined maximum value.
The pressure sensor 50 includes a transducer to change the
sensed pressure to a voltage value. The microprocessor 34
communicates with a first switch 32, which may be a triac
switch, and which stops operation of the compressor motor
24 should an undesirably high value be detected. In
addition, a second switch 36 communicates with a comparing
circuit 40 which ensures the voltage from the pressure
sensor 50 is between a minimum and maximum value. The
purpose of the comparing circuit is to ensure proper
operation of the pressure sensor 50 and its associated
circuit.
