Abstract: A turning chamber is composed of upper and lower guides disposed vertically with a gap in between. An inputting device is provided in the upper position of the opening of the turning chamber while a discharging device is disposed in the lower portion of the opening of the turning chamber. The lower guide is inclined forming a down slope toward the discharging means. A fan is provided for sending air across the underside of the sheet as it is being inputted into the turning chamber. A duct is attached to the fan and is disposed between the inputting device and discharging device with the blower port thereof directed to the lower guide. The sheet inputted through the inputting device falls due to gravity whilst air is blown across the underside of the sheet so that the sheet can be accommodated into the turning chamber.

Title: Polirazed superfluorescent fiber sources
Inventor: DIGONNET MICHAEL J F
IPC: H01S3/06
Filed: 1997-04-09
Abstract: A superfluorescent fiber source outputs highly polarized light without a substantial decrease in output power efficiency. According to one embodiment, a polarizer is spliced within the superfluorescent fiber at a selected location along the length of the fiber (e.g., near the middle of the fiber). According to another embodiment, the entire length of the superfluorescent fiber is polarizing to thereby assure that one of the polarizations of light is substantially extinguished while the other polarization of light is nearly double the power which that polarization would have if the polarizer were not present within the superfluorescent fiber. In this manner, superfluorescent sources can be adapted especially for use in fiber optic gyroscopes, or the like, which require highly polarized light, without a substantial reduction in efficiency.

Abstract: A printing head (3) rotatably supported by a supporting shaft (32) parallel to the shaft (21) of a platen (2) is pressed by an elastic member (4) such as a sheet spring for example, and comes into contact with the platen. A pair of arm members (41,42) are provided on either side of the platen (2), the arms having through holes for rotatably mounting the platen shaft (21). A bar member (45) for receiving a spring force from the elastic member (4) is linked to the other end of the arm members, passing across the space between the arm members. The bar member (45) is freed from contact with the elastic member (4) by rotating at least one of the arm members (41,42) around the platen shaft (21). Another method frees the bar member from contact with the elastic member (4) by moving at least one end of the bar member in a direction away from the platen (2). In the latter case, a crank mechanism (60) is used for changing the effective length of one of the arm members. Thus, a printer (e.g. thermal printer) is made compact and light, has high printing reliability, and allows easy maintenance and replacement of the printing head (3).

Abstract: The invention features a method of processing
cryopreserved cells by thawing and equilibrating the
cells at warm temperatures (e.g., between 30°C and 43°C).
Either the cell suspension in the cryoprotective medium
is thawed to a temperature between 35°C and 43°C or the
cryoprotective medium is equilibrated with a culture
medium at a temperature between 35°C and 43°C, or both
steps are carried out at the warm temperatures. By
thawing and equilibrating the cryopreserved cells at warm
temperatures, the viability, (especially after 3 hours of
culture), and metabolic activity (i.e., diazepam
metabolism) of the cells can be improved over traditional
cold cell processing (i.e., at temperatures of between
2°C and 8°C).

Abstract: The currents (Ia,Ib,Ic) supplied to a motor (M) by an invertor comprising six pairs of diodes (T1-D1,..T6-D6) may be measured by using shunts (Su,Sv,Sw) connected between three of the transistor diode pairs and the direct current supply return terminal. The voltages from the shunts are supplied to a reconstruction unit (5) where they are filtered before feeding differential amplifiers. The differential amplifier outputs are combined in two operational amplifiers to produce signals which under balanced conditions will represent two of the currents being supplied to the motor. These signals are considered indirect current representations and a switching system allow them to be used when the direct values from the differential amplifiers are not available.

Abstract: The invention relates to a photocatalytic glass pane
including a glass substrate and at least one layer formed on at
least one major surface of the glass substrate. The at least one
layer has an outermost layer made of a photocatalytic titanium
oxide. The outermost layer is prepared by a chemical vapor
deposition. The titanium oxide is such that an X-ray
diffraction chart of the titanium oxide has at least a first peak
when a spacing between adjacent crystallographic planes of the
titanium oxide is 3.5 angstroms and a second peak when a
spacing between adjacent crystallographic planes of the
titanium oxide is 1.9 angstroms and that the second peak has a
height that is at least one-tenth of a height of the first peak.
The glass pane is high in photocatalytic activity. The
invention further relates to a method for producing the
photocatalytic glass pane. This method has the sequential
steps of (a) providing a gas mixture comprising a vapor of an
organic titanium compound and an oxygen gas; and (b) bringing
the gas mixture into contact with the glass substrate that is
under a heated condition, thereby to form the outermost layer
on the glass substrate. The glass pane can easily be produced
by the method with high efficiency and low cost.

Abstract: A variable-curvature mirror for a laser which
makes it possible to obtain a high-accuracy spherical
surface by uniformly deforming a reflecting mirror under a
low load without stroke loss of an actuator. A top lid
has a restricting surface for receiving the peripheral
portion of the reflecting mirror to prevent translational
movement of the reflecting mirror in the pressurizing
direction. A gap is formed to permit pivotal motion of
the peripheral portion of the reflecting mirror about the
contact point with the top lid. Its thickness is radially
changed so that its thickness reduces toward the
peripheral portion. The reflecting mirror can thus be
smoothly and uniformly deformed.

Abstract: A flexible and scalable architecture and method that implements
dynamic rate control scheduling in an ATM switch. The scheduler shapes a
large number of streams according to rate values computed dynamically based
on switch congestion information. To handle a large range of bit rates, a
plurality of timewheels are employed with different time granularities. The
streams are assigned dynamically to the timewheels based on computed rate
values. The shaper architecture and method supports priority levels for
arbitrating among streams which are simultaneously eligible to transmit. 
     Specifically, a scheduling timestamp is determined by the scheduler in
consideration of a dynamic rate varied in dependency upon congestion
information, a peak cell rate, and/or a sustainable cell rate, and a burst
threshold while a shaping timestamp is also determined with reference to the
scheduling timestamp determined by the above-mentioned manner. The
scheduler may shape a stream in accordance with a rate determined by an
ABR mechanism along with the dynamic rate.

Abstract: In views of a disadvantage that in a conventional method

of software is increased and the scale of hardware is enlarged,
this invention has been achieved to solve such a problem and
intends to provide a processing method for audio signal to be
inputted from an appropriate sound source capable of higher
precision localization of sound image than the conventional
method. When a sound generated from an appropriate sound source
SS is processed as an audio signal in the order of inputs on
time series, the inputted audio signal is transformed into audio
signals for the left and right ears of a person and further each
of the audio signals is divided to at least two frequency bands.
Then, the divided audio signal of each band is subjected to a
processing for controlling an element for a feeling of the
direction of a sound source SS and an element for a feeling of
the distance up to that sound source, which are appealed to
person's auditory sense and outputting the processed audio
signal.
