Abstract: This disclosure describes a precision optical fiber connection system buildable with a minimum of precision-made components. Sets of fibers (13-16) to be mated are contained in V-grooves in respective opposing silicon-etched fiber holders. A lense-sphere (27) is fixedly deployed in the groove (25) next to the end of each fiber. An initial gross positioning of the lense-spheres of the upper fiber holders (11,12) with respect to their receiving grooves in the lower fiber holder (10), is achieved by using a cylinder (53) disposed adjacent to the fiber grooves. Tapered sides (52) of the upper holders engage the cylinder to funnel the lense-sphere into their receiving grooves (41). Also disclosed is a three-point support system for assuring that the opposing fiber groove surfaces remain parallel and do not experience relative rotation.

Abstract: A monolithically integrated MOS output stage component, particularly a DMOS output stage, is proposed which is provided with an output stage element (10) exhibiting a gate, a source and a drain terminal and with an overtemperature protection device (15). An integrated gate bias resistor (11) is provided. The overtemperature protection device (15) is also integrated in the output stage component and exhibits a series circuit of a Z diode (17) with a temperature-dependent resistor (16) having a positive temperature coefficient, which is connected to the source terminal (S), a supply voltage being supplied to this series circuit. The overtemperature protection device (15) furthermore contains a semiconductor arrangement (19, 21, 23), controlled by a control voltage at the tap (18) of the series circuit, for reducing the gate voltage when overtemperatures occur. This results in a steep overall slope for the evaluating signal whilst making little demands on the temperature-dependent resistor. Well leakage currents do not play a significant role. The output stage component according to the invention can be completely integrated in a simple manner and can thus be inexpensively produced. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A method for expressing image data and for image restoration does not depend on the format of input/output devices, does not suffer from block distortion in the restored image, provides superior scale ability, and can be easily applied to motion pictures. The distribution of a pixel feature, such as luminance or chrominance, in a two dimensional (x,y) image space is expressed by contours,  i.e.  an isoluminance line or a line of equal color difference, on a curved surface with the feature along a z-axis. When restoring image data, regions between contours of the feature and regions in which peaks or saddles exist, even if the contours do not accompany them, are feature interpolated, and said curved surface is reproduced as a surface of a polyhedron, wherein the contour is a contour of a cross-sectional area of a curved surface that represents an image in x-y-z space in which the two-dimensional image on x-y plane is combined with the feature along z-axis.

Abstract: The invention provides for a circuit design extending the range and linearizing the transfer characteristic of a fast voltage controlled oscillator (VCO). In addition, such a VCO which also exhibits a multi-range operation is described. Range extension is achieved by modifying the delay cell (58) of a current controlled ring oscillator. The VCO transfer characteristic is linearized by piece-wise linear current control (50,52,54,56) added to the delay cell (58). Additionally, a VCO capable of multi-range operation can be provided. With the addition of multiple current sources which control booster inverter current, and by selectively enabling the additional current sources, a VCO with multiple frequency ranges can be achieved.

Abstract: This invention relates to a photomultiplier for detecting the incident position of a plane of incidence, where a weak light beam is reached and to a photomultiplier having a structure for minimizing crosstalk near the incident position of the weak light beam to improve the precision of the position resolving power. Particularly, the anode of this photomultiplier, which extracts the incident position of the incident weak light as an electrical signal, is constituted by a first anode component for detecting the incident position of the incident plane in the X direction and a second anode component for detecting the incident position of the incident plane in the Y direction. The first and second anode components have flat surfaces. These flat surfaces cause the first and second anode components to capture secondary electrons emitted from a dynode in correspondence with the incident position of the weak light beam, at a position closer to the emission position. The photomultiplier detects the incident position of the weak light beam at a higher resolving power while minimizing the crosstalk.

Abstract: The present invention provides a chromatogenous testing system for urinalysis, by which urine to be tested is applied directly on a urine applying sector of the system. On upper surface of a support member (1), a developing phase (2) is provided, and a reagent phase (3) is positioned on a sector closer to one end of the developing phase (2). With the reagent phase (3) as a border, a sector closer to one end of the developing phase (2) is used as a urine applying sector (4), and the longer sector is used as a urine reagent developing phase (5). In one embodiment a water repellent agent (6) is coated on the regions from both sides of the reagent phase (3) and the urine-reagent phase (5) to both sides of the support member (11) where the reagent phase (3) and the urine-reagent developing phase (5) are attached, and the repellent agent is solidified. In another embodiment, the reagent phase (3) and the urine-reagent developing phase (5) as well as the support member (1) with these two phases attached on it are accommodated in an envelope-like or cylindrical transparent resin film or container (8). 
     The urine to be tested is directly applied on the urine applying sector (4). Even when the urine to be tested is directly applied on the urine applying sector (4), the splashed urine is repelled by the water repellent agent (6) and the transparent resin film (7) or by the envelope-like or cylindrical transparent resin film or container (8). Thus, normal development of the urine and reagent in the reagent phase and the urine-reagent developing phase (5) is ensured, and accurate reaction results can be obtained.
