Patent EP-1115185-A2 (EP)
Inventor: AKIYAMA KOICHI
IPC: H01S3/094
Filed: 2001-01-05
Abstract: A control circuit controls a directional-coupling type optical switch, inputs
excited light from an excitation LD light source mainly via a WDM coupler to an
EDF, and thereby intensifies forward excitation and controls drive current of the
light source so that signal light with a desired value is output. On the other
hand, when signal light power with a desired value is not obtained even when
the drive current of the light source reaches an upper limit, the control circuit
gradually increases the ratio of the excited light to be entered to the EDF via
the WDM coupler, and at the same time controls the drive current of the light
source so that the signal light with the desired value is output.

IPC: H02P5/54
Filed: 2001-04-30
Abstract: A control system is disclosed for a rotary press comprising a plurality of printing
mechanisms in which driving means rotate N turns while plate cylinders P rotate one turn, so
that printing images can be printed on a paper web sequentially passing through each printing
mechanism. A control section replaces the rotational phase of the plate cylinder with the
rotational phase of the driving means M corresponding to that rotational phase so as to match
the printing images with a predetermined reference, converts a shift between the rotational
phase of the driving means M for matching and the rotational phase of the driving means M in
a normal state into the number of outputs of the first pulse signals, sets it as a correction
value, and obtains a virtual feedback value by shifting the rotational phase of the driving
means M by the amount of the correction value. Control is accomplished by synchronizing
the driving reference phase with the virtual feedback phase of the driving means M.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé et un système destinés à l'identification sécurisée d'une personne dans un environnement de communications électronique, un ordinateur hôte étant conçu pour être capable de communiquer avec un dispositif de communications électronique spécifique activé par la personne. La personne se voit attribuer un code masque, connu uniquement de la personne et stocké dans l'ordinateur hôte, mais qui n'est jamais transmis sur le plan électronique. Lorsque la personne doit s'identifier auprès de l'ordinateur hôte, celui-ci transmet une chaîne pseudo-aléatoire au dispositif de communications électronique spécifique, suite à cela, le code masque peut être appliqué à ladite chaîne, selon des règles prédéterminées, de manière à générer un code d'identification volatile qui est alors retransmis à l'ordinateur hôte. Le système réalise une identification positive lorsque le code d'identification volatile correspond au code d'identification volatile engendré au sein de l'ordinateur hôte par application du code masque stocké à la chaîne pseudo-aléatoire. Ainsi, un code masque de la personne n'est jamais transmis sur le plan électronique et est donc relativement protégé face à une interception. Ainsi, le code d'identification volatile sera différent pour chaque chaîne pseudo-aléatoire différente, ce qui rend sans intérêt une communication interceptée de manière frauduleuse.
