Abstract: Each imaging element (2a) of an array (2) includes a photosensitive element (3) for sensing light incident on the imaging element (2a) and for storing charge representing the incident light and a rectifying element (D1). The imaging elements (2a) are arranged in rows and columns with each photosensitive element (3) and the associated rectifying element (D1) being coupled in series between an associated first conductor (4) and an associated second conductor (5, 6) for allowing charge stored at a selected imaging element (2a) to be read out by applying voltages to the second conductors (5, 6) to forward bias the rectifying element (D1) of the selected imaging element to cause a current representing the charge stored at the photosensitive element (3) of the selected imaging (2a) element to flow through the associated first conductor (4). Each rectifying element (D1) is formed by a photosensitive element for also receiving light incident on the imaging element and the relative dimensions of each photosensitive element (3) and the associated rectifying element (d1) are such that when an imaging element (2a) is receiving light but is not selected any leakage current flows internally within the imaging element (2a) and makes no significant contribution to any current flowing through the associated first conductor, thereby reducing the possibility of vertical cross-talk.

Abstract: A superfluorescent broadband fiber laser source
comprises a fiber doped (108) with laser material coupled
to a multiplexing coupler (104). In the preferred
embodiment, a source (100) of pumping illumination provides
pumping light to the doped fiber (108), and the coupler
(104) is adjusted to have a 0% coupling efficiency at the
wavelength of the source (100). The pumping light is
sufficiently intense to produce amplified spontaneous
emission within the doped fiber (108), and gives rise to a
forward signal and a backward signal. One of the
superfluorescent signals is reflected back to the doped
fiber (108) by a reflector (113) cemented to one end of the
doped fiber (108) or to one end of another fiber through
the coupling function of the coupler (104). The coupler
(104) is adjusted to provide complete coupling at the
frequency of the lasing light. The temperature dependence
of the coupler (104) can be selected to reduce or cancel
the temperature dependence of the superfluorescent signal.
Other arrangements utilizing the multiplexing properties of
the coupler (104) are also described. An all-fiber
reflector can also be used.

exists in a received video signal. In the case of the
video signal having a helper signal, the video signal is
automatically recorded into a 16:9 wide recording format.
In the case of a video signal having no helper signal, an
aspect ratio is detected. Then, if an old movie video
signal of a 16:9 aspect ratio is received, it is recorded
into a 16:9 wide recording format, while in the case of a
4:3 general video signal, it is recorded into a general
recording format. Thus, the video signal can be recorded
according to an aspect ratio thereof.

Abstract: A handshake between sending and receiving devices (10) that exchange DTMF
signals across a network (14) is accomplished by having the receiving device send a
DTMF ready tone (digit) for a prescribed interval following receipt of a call set-up
message received after the sending device has initiated a call. Upon receipt of the DTMF
ready digit, the sending device sends to the receiving device a data message includes a
string of digits of interest prefixed by  M  header digits. After receiving at least a portion
of the data message, the receiving device stops transmitting the ready digit. Once the
receiving device has received the entire data message, the receiving device strips the
protocol digits (the  M  header digits and any of the ready digits received due to echo). By
analyzing the stripped protocol digits, the quality of the handshake between the receiving
and sending devices can be determined.

Abstract: A natural gas reformer (10) comprising a stack of thermally conducting plates (12) interspersed with catalyst plates (14) and provided with internal or external manifolds for reactants. The catalyst plate is in intimate thermal contact with the conducting plates so that its temperature closely tracks the temperature of the thermally conducting plate, which can be designed to attain a near isothermal state in-plane to the plate. One or more catalysts may be used, distributed along the flow direction, in-plane to the thermally conducting plate, in a variety of optional embodiments. The reformer may be operated as a steam reformer or as a partial oxidation reformer. When operated as a steam reformer, thermal energy for the (endothermic) steam reforming reaction is provided externally by radiation and/or conduction to the thermally conducting plates. This produces carbon monoxide, hydrogen, steam and carbon dioxide. When operated as a partial oxidation reformer, a fraction of the natural gas is oxidized assisted by the presence of a combustion catalyst and reforming catalyst. This produces carbon monoxide, hydrogen, steam and carbon dioxide. Because of the intimate thermal contact between the catalyst plate and the conducting plates, no excessive temperature can develop within the stack assembly. Details of the plate design may be varied to accommodate a variety of manifolding embodiments providing one or more inlets and exit ports for introducing, pre-heating and exhaust the reactants.
