Abstract: An apparatus (partition carriage) having a plurality of approximately vertically directed partitions (10) for receiving plate- or sheet-shaped articles (11, 12), such as sheets of glass or panes of insulating glass, has a bottom plate (1) and approximately vertically directed lateral supports (9) which bound the partitions (10) for the sheet-shaped articles (11, 12). In the bottom plate 1, in the region of every partition (10), grooves (15) and at least two recesses (17) which run transversely to the partitions (10) and are open towards the partitions (10) in the region of the grooves (15) are provided. Arranged in the recesses (17) are rotationally driven transport rollers (18) which reach into the grooves (15) in the bottom plate (1) and with which articles (11, 12) can be conveyed into the partitions (10) or out of the partitions (10). <IMAGE>

Abstract: A container (1) for transporting and storing, in particular, flammable and non-flammable liquids which are a hazard to water in cubic tank containers and large packaging means in the form of a container has a fluid-tight bottom trough (10) which is covered by a bottom grid (15) and is provided with two closable ventilation openings which are arranged, in particular, opposite each other at the end face. The container (1) is an exchangeable container made of non-flammable material and designed in the manner of a suitcase with a centring tunnel and four supporting legs (20) which can be folded in. The bottom trough (10) has a bottom plate (11) which is profiled in the longitudinal direction. Two lateral longitudinal supports (12) and two end-face transverse supports (13) are integral constituents of the bottom trough (10). The other transverse supports (14) are arranged extending solely within the bottom trough (11) between the longitudinal supports (12) and are connected to the latter. The centring tunnel is formed by two guide profiles (16) which are spaced apart and are mounted outside the bottom trough (10). The bottom trough (10) thus formed also constitutes the bearing understructure of the container (1). This results in an extremely flat construction of the understructure, such that the dual function of storing and transporting can be implemented in an exchangeable container designed in the manner of a suitcase with a centring tunnel. <IMAGE>

Abstract: An image forming apparatus includes a finite length recirculating duplex path (69) without a duplex tray and having an inverter (68). A receiving sheet is delayed in the inverter (68) by a time which is variable in order to vary the recirculating path time. Preferably, the time is varied according to the length of receiving sheet used so that maximum usage can be made of the image forming apparatus. 
     A preferred inverter includes entrance (23) and exit (25) nips and a stop (3) at the end of a paper chute. The stop (3) is positioned to receive the leading edge of a sheet fed into the chute and hold the sheet through a variable time delay. The stop (3) is then moved toward the exit nip at the end of the time delay to begin to move the receiving sheet out of the inverter. The receiving position of the stop (3) is variable to receive sheets of different intrack length.

Abstract: An optical transmission system of an N : 1 or an N : N type is provided, in which there is no deterioration caused by beat noise between signals. A plurality of optical modulators (110,210,310) are cascaded in an optical fiber transmission path (10) having a light source (20) and a light receiver (40) connected to two respective ends of the optical fiber transmission path (10), and carrier waves having frequencies respectively different are applied to the optical modulators (110,210,310). This enables the light receiver (40) to receive a radio frequency signal (50) in which the carrier waves (120,220,320) are frequency-multiplexed. The light receiver (40) receives only the signal beam (30) so that there is no occurrence of beat noise. In another arrangement, at the optical network terminal (300), a part of a signal beam (30) is split and the split beam (34) is intensity-modulated responsively to carrier waves (320) by an optical modulator (320) and, thereafter, is combined again to a passing beam (33). It is possible to obtain at the signal beam receiver (40) a received signal (50) in which carrier waves from respective optical network terminals (100,200,300) are frequency-multiplexed. This prevents occurrence of intermodulation distortion in the cascaded optical modulators.

Abstract: A maximum-likelihood sequence estimator (MLSE) with a variable number of states. A channel response estimator (101) calculates channel responses from a received signal having a predetermined burst length and a reference signal. A controller (102) checks the latest (L-th) response having a larger power than a predetermined threshold value of the channel responses and determines the L number of effective channel responses having the larger power. A Viterbi equilizer (103) with a variable number of states executes a maximum-likelihood sequence estimation on the basis of the trellis with M  (L-1)  states (M is a multi-value number of a modulation signal) using the L number of effective channel responses. The MLSE is operated with the minimum number of states every burst to reduce an average processing amount without degrading characteristics and to achieve a low consumption power of receivers.

Abstract: First, welding protrusions of two aluminum alloy plates are butted against each other, and an engagement projection of one of the aluminum alloy plates is brought into engagement with an engagement recess of the other aluminum alloy plate, thereby maintaining the butted state and defining voids in back of butt regions of the welding protrusions in a direction of irradiation of a laser beam. Then, the laser beam is irradiated to the butt regions to bond the welding protrusions to each other. The Al₂O₃ films located on the surfaces of the welding protrusions on a back side in a direction of irradiation of the laser beam are pushed into the voids by a molten pool and hence, they cannot intrude into a weld zone to form a notch. By employing this arrangement in the butt welding using the laser beam, the need for a jig for maintaining the butted state of the aluminum alloy plates is eliminated and a butt joint having a high strength can be obtained.
