Abstract: A disk cartridge includes a cartridge main body in which an optical disk such as a magneto-optical disk is rotatably mounted and in which an opening for exposing the signal record area and a chucking area of the optical disk to outside is formed. The disk cartridge also includes a shutter movably mounted on the cartridge main body for opening or closing the opening, and a torsion spring mounted at a corner in the cartridge main body towards a position in which the shutter opens the opening. The torsion coil spring biasing the shutter in the opening closing direction has the end of its one arm section retained at a retaining portion formed in the cartridge main body and the end of its other section retained by the shutter. An insertion opening for the torsion spring is provided on the front side of the cartridge main body mounting the shutter. A movement control portion is also provided on the front side of the cartridge main body which controls the movement direction of the other section when a coil section of the torsion coil spring is inserted via the insertion opening with the end of the one arm section of the torsion coil spring being retained by the cartridge main body and with the arm sections being closed on each other, and the other arm section is then moved in the opening direction with respect to the other arm section and into engagement with the shutter.

Abstract: A method for manufacturing a coated optical fiber includes depositing a conductive coating on the optical fiber and measuring a value of conductance of that coating. Featured within the manufacturing method is a method for measuring the thickness of the conductive coating on an insulator, e.g., carbon on an optical fiber, including the following steps. An electromagnetic field is established by an input signal. The conductively coated insulator is moved through the energized electromagnetic field. The conductive coating on the insulator is oriented with respect to the electric field so that their interaction increases transmission loss from input to output. An output signal is extracted from the electromagnetic field. From changes in the output signal with respect to a predetermined standard, or reference, the conductance and the thickness of the conductive coating are determined. From the measured thickness of the coating, a control signal is generated for dynamically controlling one or more of the process parameters for depositing the coating on the insulator from a precursor gas. The coated insulator continuously moves through the apparatus without any physical contact. No interruption of the production process occurs.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to a self-calibrating clock synchronization system that receives a periodic, digital clock signal as a reference and generates therefrom a system clock signal that dynamically tracks and is synchronized to the reference clock. The invention utilizes state machine controlled selection circuitry that comprises a plurality of predetermined delays tapped to produce a number of phase-related clock signals, and multiplexing circuitry, for selecting one of the plurality of clock signals as the system clock. A comparator compares the selected clock signal and the reference clock to determine which leads or lags the other. In response to the comparison, selection, from the plurality of clock signals, of a system clock that most closely matches the reference signal is made.

Abstract: To extend the range and the possibilities of application for the contactless transmission of identification from a normalised chip-carrying identification medium (1.1), for example a credit card or a key, a method is proposed which makes use of a relay station (3) between the identification medium (1.1) and the reader (2.2). The relay station (3) receives the identification signals (A) of the identification medium (1.1), decodes them, if necessary, for a specific reader (2.2) and retransmits them with a greater range. So that the normalised identification medium (1.1) can be used for short-distance (Fig. 1a) and long-distance applications (Fig. 1b) and so that the relay station (3) can be used for identification media (1.1) having different identification and/or different shape, the relay station (3) is designed in such a manner that the identification medium (1.1) can be attached to it in an interchangeable manner. <IMAGE>
