Abstract: The present invention relates to a dispersion compensating fiber module excellent in pumping efficiency. The dispersion compensating fiber module includes a dispersion compensating optical fiber for compensating for a chromatic dispersion of an optical transmission line through which signal light propagates, and an optical fiber that can function as a Raman amplification optical fiber. The optical fiber that can function as a Raman amplification optical fiber, in particular, has the characteristics including an FOM Raman of 8 (1/dB/W) or more with respect to signal light having a wavelength of 1,650 nm when pumping light having a wavelength of 1,550 nm is supplied, and a chromatic dispersion with an absolute value of 10 ps/nm/km to 50 ps/nm/km at the wavelength of 1,650 nm.

Abstract: In a device array system, a failure alternate device is
fetched from another logic group of a higher redundancy
without needing a hot spare patrol, accordingly recovering
redundancy of data. In a case corresponding to a mirrored
device of RAID-1, as a logic group of a device array unit, a
construction control unit constructs a first logic group in
which the same data is stored into (N = 2) devices and
duplicated and a second logic group in which the same data
is stored into (N + 1 = 3) devices and triplicated. When
one device has failed in the first logic group having a
lower redundancy and the redundancy is lost, a failure
processing unit fetches one device from the second logic
group of a higher redundancy into the first logic group and
reconstructs data by using the fetched device as a failure
alternate device, accordingly recovering the redundancy of
the first logic group.

Abstract: Disclosed is a semiconductor memory device which
shortens an external access time when there is contention
between an external access and an internal access. The
semiconductor memory device includes an arbiter (13) which
receives a first entry signal for entering a first access
mode (external access) and a second entry signal for
entering a second access mode (internal access) and
determines priority of the first and second access modes in
accordance with an order of receipt of the first and second
entry signals. The arbiter (13) sequentially generates a
first mode trigger signal corresponding to the first entry
signal and a second mode trigger signal corresponding to
the second entry signal in accordance with the determined
priority. The arbiter (13) executes the first access mode
by priority over the second access mode when the arbiter is
supplied with the first entry signal with a predetermined
period after the second access mode has been determined to
have priority.

Abstract: A snap-through thermal actuator (15) for a micro-electromechanical
device such as a liquid drop emitter or a fluid control
microvalve is disclosed. The snap-through actuator is comprised of a base
element (10) having opposing anchor edges (14) which define a central plane. A
deformable element (20), attached to the base element at the opposing anchor
edges, is constructed as a planar lamination including a first layer of a first
material having a low coefficient of thermal expansion and a second layer of a
second material having a high coefficient of thermal expansion. The deformable
element is formed to have a residual shape bowing outward from the central plane
in a first direction away from the second layer. The snap-through thermal actuator
further comprises apparatus adapted to apply a heat pulse to the deformable
element which causes a sudden rise in the temperature of the deformable element.
The deformable element initially bows farther outward in the first direction, then,
reverses and snaps through the central plane to bow outward in a second direction
toward the second layer, and then relaxes to the residual shape as the temperature
decreases. The snap-through thermal actuator can be configured with a liquid
chamber having a nozzle, a fluid flow port to form a liquid drop emitter or a fluid
control microvalve, or to activate an electrical microswitch. Heat pulses are
applied to the deformable element by resistive heating or by light energy pulses.

Abstract: A system and method for combining the precision estimate of a database
entry's coordinate value such that the precision information is included as part of
the one-dimensional index. This is done by constructing a hierarchical index in
which the size of the grid is related to the precision of the coordinate value. A
grid index is a gridding of an n-dimensional space into a regular partition of the
grid space into grid units, for which for a point in space, x, there is a function
index (x), which retrieves a unique integer value for the grid that contains Point x,
and a function coordinate(y, s), which returns a point associated with the index y
at scale s. A hierarchical grid index is effectively a number of grid indices
overlaid on the same space, with grid units of different sizes. In this case, each
of the functions employs an additional argument that specifies the size of the grid
unit to use. Thus, assuming that the grid size, s, is drawn from a set of grid
sizes, S, Index (x,s) returns a unique integer value for the grid of size s that
contains Point x. Hierarchical indexes may be used to enhance the performance
of database queries. A query that seeks results from a small grid size, s small ,
does not seek matches at a large grid size, s large . Similar calculations can be
performed for a finite area A.
