Patent EP-0859247-A3 (EP)
Inventor: KATO TAKATOSHI
IPC: H04B10/00
Filed: 1998-02-12
Abstract: The present invention provides a dispersion-shifted
fiber which can effectively restrain nonlinear optical
effects from occurring and is suitable for long-haul
transmission. As characteristics at a wavelength of 1,550
nm, this dispersion-shifted fiber has a dispersion whose
absolute value is from 1.0 to 4.5 ps/nm/km, an effective
core cross-sectional area of at least 70 µm 2 , a cutoff
wavelength of at least 1,300 nm at a fiber length of 2 m,
and a dispersion slope of 0.05 to 0.09 ps/nm 2 /km. Also,
in this dispersion-shifted fiber, the position where the
optical power distribution in the fundamental mode of the
signal light is maximized is radially separated from the
center of the core region by a predetermined distance, and,
when the optical power in the fundamental mode of signal
light at the center of core region is P 0  and the maximum
value of the optical power distribution in the fundamental
mode is P 1 , the maximum value P 1  is greater than the value
of 1.2 times the optical power P 0  at the center of core
region.

Abstract: Die Erfindung betrifft eine radial aufweitbare Stützstruktur zur Offenhaltung von Lumina innerhalb
eines Körpers, insbesondere eines Blutgefäßes, die einen rohrförmigen Körper umfaßt mit
einer sich zwischen einem ersten und einem zweiten Ende erstreckenden Wandfläche, die aus
langgestreckten, miteinander verbundenen Gliedern gebildet ist, die im wesentlichen in Längsrichtung
des rohrförmigen Körpers verlaufen, wobei jeweils zwei benachbarte Glieder unter Bildung
eines einen Schlitz bildenden Gliederpaares an ihren Enden miteinander verbunden sind
und wobei die Gliederpaare untereinander mit, jeweils in Umfangsrichtung des rohrförmigen
Körpers gesehen, benachbarten Gliederpaaren verbunden sind. 
     Um während der Aufweitung der Stützstruktur keine oder nur eine sehr geringe Längenverkürzung
zu erhalten, sind benachbarte Gliederpaare jeweils durch einen Steg miteinander verbunden,
wobei die geometrischen Mittelpunkte von mindestens zwei dieser benachbarten Gliederpaare
in Längsrichtung des rohrförmigen Körpers gegeneinander versetzt sind.

Abstract: Upon sequentially transmitting plural data frames
to one destination address, each communication
apparatus(1) inverts "1" or "0" of a switch flag to add
a new switch flag to a source address and a destination
address, in a flag setting section(8), and the source
address and the destination address added with the new
flag are transmitted as a monitor data. Each
communication apparatus(1) receives all data frames on a
network, and the monitor data of the data frames
received in a preceding time and in a present time are
compared with each other, in a malfunction detecting
section(6). By the inversion control of the switch
flag, the monitor data of the data frames received in
the preceding time and in the present time cannot be
equal to each other. Therefore, a malfunction
specifying section(7) detects a comparison result output
indicating coincidence between the monitor data, thereby
to detect occurrence of a trouble.

Abstract: An infant incubator is disclosed having an infant compartment (36) that contains the
infant and which is set to a desired temperature above ambient by the user. The
incubator has at least one access door (38) that opens to allow the caregiver to perform
an intervention on the infant and which is actively heated when in the open position,
e.g. electrically or by a flow of heated air passing though a passage (50) within the

Abstract: An object of the present invention consists in providing
a new spool case in which the stored spool can be held without
contacting with it by hand, engaging or disengaging of the
spool in respect to the bonding device can be carried out
without having any relation with a length of the holder or
presence or non-presence of an engaging means, a reliability
in holding the spool is high and a spool held state can be
easily maintained. In addition, solving means of the present
invention can be handled such that the spool is held by the
engaging pieces 7 arranged at the base 3 and the spool is not
directly contacted with hand. The spool held state is
maintained by the resilient engaging force of each of the
engaging pieces 7 and this is not released so long as each
of these engaging pieces 7 is not resiliently deformed and
is not released from the flange. The held state causes each
of the engaging pieces 7 to be engaged with the outer
circumferential edge of the flange, wherein no interference
occurs against the wire wound around the spool barrel section
section or inside the barrel section.

single examination area (16), an improved view port (20) is
disclosed having a view port casing (26) and a mounting
apparatus arranged so that the view port casing is
movable between a first and second active positions. In

eye test apparatus may further have a position sensor (58)
system for sending the present position of the casing.
In one embodiment of the invention, a control unit (12) is
provided which is responsive to the position sensor
system so that administration of a test to a patient is
permitted only if the casing is in an active position,
and may further be made responsive to the sensor system
so that data captured during the test by the control
unit is automatically categorized according to which eye
is currently being tested.
