Abstract: In a optical transmitting and receiving module ,a
transmitting light beam having a wavelength 1 emitted
from a light-emitting device (6) passes through an optical
demultiplexing filter (5) and enters an optical fiber is
reflected from the optical demultiplexing filter and is

Abstract: A pin grid array includes a base having a first surface and a second
surface which is substantially parallel thereto. The base is formed with a
plurality of apertures which open through the base, and a plurality of
electrical connectors are mounted on the base. Specifically, the connectors
are formed with a central portion, and each connector has two deflectable
fingers which extend in opposite directions from this central portion. The
central portion of the connector is embedded into the base to cantilever the
fingers into juxtaposed apertures. When they are not deflected, one finger of
the connector projects outwardly from its aperture and beyond the first
surface of the base, while the other finger projects outwardly from its aperture
and beyond the second surface of the base. In a plurality of apertures, one
finger projects one way and another finger projects the other way. With this
combination, the electrical contact tips of the fingers are arranged as two
matrices, one over the first surface of the base and the other over the second
surface. Thus, a plurality of circuits are established between the first surface
of the array and the second surface.

Abstract: A lighting system for a discharge lamp includes an inverter circuit
(5, 5 a , 5 b , 5 c  or 5 d ) to which is connected a load circuit (6, 6 a  or 6 b )
including a resonant circuit of an inductor (12) and a capacitor (11) in
serial connection, with a discharge lamp (13) connected in parallel with
the capacitor. An inversely frequency dependent voltage is applied between
the lamp electrodes according to a predefined resonance characteristic
such that the resonance frequency ( f   o ) is less than a discharge start
frequency ( f   2 ) at which the lamp is to start glowing. For lighting up
the lamp the frequency of the inverter output voltage is changed from a
first frequency ( f   1 ) that is higher than the discharge start frequency to
a second frequency ( f   3 ) that is less than the resonance frequency. 
     If the lamp accidentally goes off, the current flowing through the
load circuit will advance out of phase with the inverter output voltage,
possibly resulting in the destruction of inverter switch or switches ( Q   1 
and  Q   2 ) due to overcurrent. This danger is precluded by constantly
monitoring the phase of the load current and, in event the load current
is found to be in phase advance, by making the inverter output frequency
higher than the resonance frequency of the resonant circuit and
thereby delaying the phase of the load current.

Abstract: An ultrasonic sensor (26) detects whether a piston (30)
is at the lowest position. The sensor (26) is not affected
by the environment or damaged by contact with other objects.
The sensor (26) is located in the bottom of a mast cylinder
(10), transmits ultrasonic waves to the bottom of a piston
(30) and receives ultrasonic waves reflected by the piston
(30). The sensor (26) then outputs electric signals based
on the received ultrasonic waves. The ultrasonic sensor
(26) is electrically connected to a transmitter-receiver
(47), which, in turn, is electrically connected to a
controller (48). The transmitter-receiver (47) includes an
ultrasonic wave generator and sends ultrasonic wave
transmitting signal having a predetermined frequency to the
ultrasonic sensor (26) based on control signals from the
controller (48). The controller (48) measures time from
when it outputs the ultrasonic wave transmitting signal to
when the sensor (26) receives a reflected wave. The
controller (48) then compares the measured time with a
threshold value thereby judging whether the piston (30) is
at the lowest position.

Abstract: A highly accurate, long life, low cost gas sensor is disclosed, particularly useful for
measuring oxygen in an environment. The gas sensor has a first, sensing electrode
(11) and a second, counting electrode (14). Dual electrolytes are electrically
serially connected between the first and second electrodes. One of the electrolytes
is an ion conducting solid electrolyte (12), the second is a liquid electrolyte
(13,113). In response to an electric current an electrical characteristic is produced,
and the electrical characteristic changes in response to changes in the concentration
of a gas such as oxygen introduced at the first, sensing electrode (11). The solid
electrolyte (12) can be a perfluorinated polymer which advantageously controls the
rate of the electrochemical reaction to give the sensor a long life without need for
continuous recalibration. A dense liquid impermeable membrane (20) may be
positioned over the first electrode (11) so that only gas reaches the first electrode
and all gas that reaches the first electrode passes through the membrane.
Advantageously, the solid electrolyte (12) isolates the liquid electrolyte from the
first, sensing electrode. The liquid electrolyte (13,113) may comprise an acidic
solution, a basic solution or a salt solution.
