Abstract: A device for receiving messages like a combination of an alarm clock and an answering machine has a message receiving unit (11), a recording and playback unit (17), a clock (12), and controls an attention signal. The device has a do-not-disturb mode, an alarm mode, and times can be selected for the do-not-disturb mode and/or the alarm mode. In the do-not-disturb mode, messages are recorded and the attention signal is suppressed. The device has a response unit (20) for providing an override function for the remote sender for overriding a mode set by the user. Hence, the sender receives a response that the device is in the do-not-disturb mode, and has the option to generate the attention signal in spite of the do-not-disturb mode

Abstract: A sound output portion 7, a power supply switch 4,
and a power supply portion 3, which are provided at a
detachable portion A of a manipulation grip 1 are
configured to be detachable from a main body portion B
of the manipulation grip 1. Accordingly, upon
sterilization using a sterilizing gas such as an EOG,
the sound output portion 7, the power supply switch 4,
and the power supply portion 3 can be removed on a
detachable portion A basis. This in turn allows for
using a sterilizing gas such as EOG to sterilize the
radiation detector except the sound output portion 7,
the power supply switch 4, and the power supply portion
3, thereby preventing damage caused by a negative
pressure in the sound output portion 7.

IPC: G04C10/04
Filed: 2003-08-29
Abstract: In detecting power generation of an electronic timepiece having
a conventional power generating unit, voltage output by the power
generating unit is limited by output from a storage unit since the
power generating unit and the storage means are connected when the
power generation state is detected, and voltage equal to or larger
than voltage output from the storage unit cannot be detected. An
electronic timepiece is provided which can overcome the problem
and can check an operation of the power generating unit securely
irrespective of the state of the storage means. 
     In an electronic timepiece driven by power stored from a power
generating unit (1) into a storage unit (4), the electronic timepiece
includes a power generation detecting unit (2) that detects a power
generation state of the power generating unit (1) and a switch unit
(7) that separates the power generating unit (1) and the storage
unit (4) when the power generation state of the power generating
unit (1) is detected. In this case, the switch (7) between the power
generating unit (1) and the storage unit (4) is controlled to OFF
so that the output from the power generating unit (1) cannot be
limited by the output from the storage unit (4).

Abstract: Each of a series of optical amplifiers is arranged such that, in response to detecting particular stimuli occurring at an input or receipt of an adjustment start message from an upstream amplifier, adjusts certain amplifier parameters using small steps and completes the adjustment using large steps if it does not receive the adjustment start message within a predetermined period of time of starting the adjustment in response to detecting the stimuli. If the optical amplifier receives the adjustment start message, then it continues to perform the adjustment and completes the adjustment using large steps when it receives an adjustment done message from the upstream optical amplifier. At that point, the optical amplifier sends an adjustment done message to the next downstream amplifier if it is not the tail-end amplifier.
