Abstract: A laser apparatus capable of emitting a laser beam upon wavelength
conversion and intensity modulation, which comprises a fundamental wave
resonance means comprising a light emitting part, an optical resonator
comprising mirrors sandwiching the light emitting part and capable of laser
resonating, and a modulation-conversion means set inside said optical resonator,
said light emitting part being a semiconductor light emitting element or a laser
medium, said modulation-conversion means converting, by a nonlinear optical
effect, a fundamental laser resonance wavelength light, and phase modulating
said light by an electro-optical effect, and a modulation part of said modulation-conversion
means comprising electrodes for application of a modulation voltage.
The laser apparatus of the present invention is compact and has a simple
structure as compared to conventional ones, but it is capable of wavelength
conversion of the fundamental wave beam by SHG and intensity modulation of
this SHG laser beam at a high modulation degree with a low modulation voltage,
and emission of the light. The method of use thereof is also very simple and can
fulfill the need of a laser apparatus which serves well as a light source for optical
communication and the like.

Abstract: An improved connector feeding apparatus for use with a wire harness-making
system (1) is described and includes a series of slots (9) for holding
longitudinal trains of connectors, a finger plate (6) positioned above individual
connector slots that is driven by a linear drive mechanism (27) in a manner that

Abstract: A postal scale system is updated, by telephone or other communication
medium, by a remote service provider whenever postal rates or regulations are
changed, without requiring shipment or replacement of IC chips. The system
provides for remote updating of both application software and databases such
as rates, zip codes and the like. By having direct communication between the
provider and the postal scale, the invention permits relevant data, including
scale model number, software version number and the like to be accessed by
the provider, thus to update the service provider's database and to provide
updates only to the correct systems. The inventive system further uses
automated telephone billing, available as 1-900 service, thus to reduce expenses
and errors associated with billing for update services.

Abstract: A wireless communicator, such as a cellular telephone or personal communicator,
includes a power source (26) (e.g., two series connected batteries (B1, B2)) providing
output voltages VSS, VDD, and V1, where V1=(VDD-VSS)/2. The power source (26)
is coupled to a first load (14) for powering the first load with VSS and VDD. The
wireless communicator further includes a power source switching unit (S1, S2) having
first inputs coupled to VSS, VDD and V1, a second input coupled to a MODE signal,
and outputs coupled to a second load (14a, 16a). The power source switching unit is
responsive to a first state of the MODE signal for powering the second load with VSS
and V1, and is responsive to a second state of the MODE signal for powering the
second load with V1 and VDD. By periodically toggling the MODE signal, such as at a
frame rate of the wireless communicator, the power drawn from each battery (B1, B2)
by the second load is equalized, while providing the second load with a desired lower
operating voltage. Also shown is interface circuitry (26a) for level shifting signals
output from the first load to the second load, and signals output from the second load
to the first load. The interface circuitry is also responsive to the state of the MODE
signal for accommodating the changes in levels of the second load input/output
signals between VSS-V1, and V1-VDD.

Abstract: A steering column assembly includes two bearing seats
(46,48) for angular contact bearings (42,44), each bearing
seat being tapered so that the diameter of a bore (52) of
a housing (40) for the bearings tapers radially inwardly
and a third bearing seat (54) associated with a column
shaft (38) is also tapered to seat one of two inner rings
(60) of the respective bearings, which are pre-loaded and
axially aligned with the bearing seats. This construction
eliminates the need for the press fit while still meeting
the application requirements. 
     Other designs reduce the rotational effort and torque
variation of the system and facilitate assembly. The
mating tapers give the bearings freedom to self-align and
thereby avoid common "clicking" noise.

Abstract: A catalyst for purifying an exhaust gas includes a support composed of a
porous oxide, an oxygen storage-and-release material, and a noble metal. The
support and the oxygen storage-and-release material are composited at an
approximately atomic level to constitute a composite oxide support. The noble
metal is loaded on the composite oxide support. In the catalyst, the fine
particles of the oxygen storage-and-release material are trapped in the fine
compartments of the support, and are accordingly inhibited from moving when they
are subjected to a high temperature. Thus, the support exhibits a specific surface
area which decreases less after a high-temperature durability test. In addition, the
oxygen storage-and-release material and the noble metal are kept from growing
granularly at elevated temperatures. Hence, the catalyst maintains the high purifying
performance even after the high-temperature durability test.

Abstract: An input/output driver circuit which provides a buffer
interface between a functional digital circuit (14) and a
common bus (18) for other digital circuits achieves high

only two power supply pins (38,42), by using two PMOS
switching transistors (T1A,T1B) between the circuit's output
line (30) and an output power supply terminal(42),
rather than only one. To turn the transistors OFF, the
output power supply (40) voltage is applied to the gate of
one of them and the output line voltage to the gate of the
other. This assures that at least one of the transistors
is fully OFF when desired, whether or not the output line
voltage exceeds the output power supply level.
