Abstract: The gas sensitive layer includes a chemical buffer. This ensures that the gas detection signal obtained, shall not be falsified by variations in pH of adsorbed water. Preferred features: Design is for use at temperatures below 100 degrees C, especially at room temperature. In operation, water can be absorbed to a thickness of 1-30 monomolecular layers. The buffer medium or its components are formed by at least one component of a solid body mixture forming the sensitive layer. The buffer medium or its components are mixed into the sensitive layer or deposited as a dispersion onto it. The buffer is formed by surface modification at least of one sensitive component of the sensitive layer, especially modification of crystallites of a sensitive layer of granular construction. The buffer is constituted to impart a pH to the adsorbed water, of such a value to facilitate transfer of the gas to be measured into the water and/or the sensitive layer. Alternatively or in addition, in a semiconductor gas sensor based on the foregoing principles which is also claimed, the pH imparted is such as to facilitate return of the gas back into the gaseous phase. The buffer constitution is such that the pH value imparted, stabilizes the sensitive layer especially against aging and/or drift.

Abstract: When the SIR of the received signal is larger than
the SIR upper limit, threshold determining section 105
outputs an instruction for decreasing the transmit power
to control bit generating section 106. Further, when the
SIR is smaller than the SIR lower limit, threshold
determining section 105 outputs an instruction for
increasing the transmit power to control bit generating
section 106. When the SIR of the received signal is equal
to or smaller than the SIR upper limit and equal to or
larger than the SIR lower limit, threshold determining
section 105 outputs the determined result to control bit
generating section 106. When the SIR of the received
signal is equal to or smaller than the SIR upper limit
and equal to or larger than the SIR lower limit, control
bit generating section 106 refers to a last instruction
on the transmit power control stored in storage section
107, and outputs an instruction opposite to the last
instruction with respect to an increase or decrease in
the transmit power to storage section 107 and
multiplexing section 108.

Abstract: The invention refers to the non-destructive measurement of the ripening degree of
individual vegetable products, preferable fruit, in which such a measurement is carried out
by engaging each individual product between two seizing and conveying elements, i.e. a
moving upper means and a lower accommodating means, in which the latter travels along a
pre-defined rectilinear path, and the upper moving means is adapted to displace, also on the
vertical plane, with respect to a pre-defined level line. When moving, said upper moving
means is subject to an adjustable force tending to compress the vegetable product and,
therefore, tends to deviate, i.e. move away from its original position accordingly. By
measuring the vertical deviation of the upper moving means across a pre-defined
displacement path the possibility is given for the pliability of the surface of the vegetable
product, and therefore the ripening degree thereof, to be assessed along with other factors
involved.

Filed: 2001-09-06
Abstract: To realize an optical demultiplexer with a constant
chromatic dispersion value, an optical signal of wavelength
(λ1) enters a port (A) of an optical circulator (10), and an
optical signal of wavelength (λ2) enters a port (A) of an
optical circulator (12). A port (B) of the optical circulator
(10) connects to a port (X0) of an interleaved optical filter
(14), and a port (B) of the optical circulator (12) connects to
a port (X1) of the optical filter (14). A port (Y0) of the
optical filter (14) connects to a port (Y1) of the optical
filter (14) through an optical isolator (16). The optical
isolator (16) allows the optical propagation from the port (Y0)
to the port (Y1) of the optical filter (14) and refuses the
optical propagation from the port (Y1) to the port (Y0). An
optical coupler (18) combines the input lights of the input
ports (X0 and X1) from ports (C) of the optical circulators (10
and 12) and outputs from the output port (Y0). The optical
filter (14) transmits wavelength (λ1) in the straight
propagation between the ports (X0, Y0) and between the ports
(X1, Y1) and transmits wavelength (λ2) in the cross propagation
between the ports (X0, Y1) and between the ports (X1, Y0).

Abstract: In accordance with the invention, a tunable optical all-pass filter
comprises a substrate-supported multilayer waveguiding structure
comprising a first layer including a waveguiding optical ring resonator, a
second layer for spacing, and a third layer including a curved waveguide.
The curved waveguide is optically coupled to the resonator by two spaced
apart optical couplers extending through the spacing layer, and tunability
is provided by a first phase-shifter to control the optical pathlength of the
resonator and a second phase-shifter operative on the waveguide to
control the strength of coupling between the waveguide and the resonator.
In one embodiment, the waveguide and the resonator are horizontally
spaced apart in the non-coupling regions to provide optical isolation. In
another, the waveguide and resonator can overlap horizontally, but the
spacer layer is thicker in the non-coupling regions to provide optical
isolation.

workpiece (30,32, 34) has a flat surface (38,42,46,48) and
is larger than a predetermined size (X) to form excess
portions (62, 64, 66). The predetermined size (X) is
