Abstract: In an interactive video-on-demand system, real-time programs are encoded as a transport stream including a plurality of transport stream packets. Some of the transport stream packets include timing signals indicating the real time of the program. The transport stream packets are formatted into transport cells for transport over an asynchronous transfer mode network from a source to a destination. The cells are transported at a transport rate which is determined by a network clock. The transport rate is chosen to deliver the transport stream faster than the real time of the program. While transporting the transport stream, it is determined if the transport stream is being transported ahead of the real time of the program. In this case, idle cells are injected into the transport stream to have the program arrive at the destination in the real time of the program.

Abstract: In a developing device (2) for an image forming apparatus and of the type using a developer consisting of toner and magnetic carrier, a toner hopper (8) has an opening for replenishing toner stored therein. The developer is regulated by a doctor blade (6) to form a thin layer on a developing sleeve (4). The developer scraped off by the doctor blade is introduced into a developer storing chamber (10) and caused to move toward the opening (8a) of the hopper due to its own internal pressure and gravity. The developer taken in toner from the hopper is returned toward the doctor blade along the surface of the sleeve. The developer on the sleeve and regulated by the doctor blade is conveyed to a developing position where the sleeve faces an image carrier (1). The toner contained in the developer is a magnetic toner. When the toner concentration of the developer has reached an upper limit, a space or gap exists in the developer storing chamber.

Abstract: A high concentration n-type semiconductor region (21) having a width (W) and a distance (D) of constant ranges is selectively formed to be overlapped with or adjacent to a buffer layer (2). When a thickness (L) of an n-type semiconductor layer (3) is 50 µm and the distance (D) is 3 µm, for example, the width (W) is set in the range of 3 µm to 7 µm. In this case, a saturation voltage (V CE (sat)) and a fall time (t f ) are improved best as compared with a conventional device having no high concentration n-type semiconductor region (21). Thus, the saturation voltage (V CE (sat)) and the fall time (t f ) are compatibly reduced.

Title: Polarization diversity receiver systems
Inventor: HALL D B
IPC: H04B10/61
Filed: 1996-12-10
Abstract: A polarization diversity receiver system for yielding multiple heterodyne optical output signals from an incident optical beam having a p-polarized component and an s-polarized component comprises first and second sequentially-arrayed polarizing beamsplitters (42, 54), and three photodetectors (48, 58, 64), each of which receives a heterodyne optical signal. The polarization diversity receiver system tracks the largest of these three signals, and uses only this largest one for subsequent signal processing. There is a minimum for this largest signal that is dependent on the input polarizations of two optical fields whose beat note is the heterodyne signal, so that one can maximize the minimum of this largest of the three heterodyne signals. The first polarizing beamsplitter (42) ideally splits the incident beam into a transmitted beam portion (T), including approximately 100% of the p-polarized component and approximately 33% of the s-polarized component, and a reflected beam portion (R) including approximately 0% of the p-polarized component and approximately 67% of the s-polarized component. The reflected beam portion (R) exits from the first polarizing beamsplitter (42) as a first heterodyne optical output signal, and impinges on a first photodetector (48). The transmitted beam portion (T) exits from the first beamsplitter (42), and then undergoes an effective 45 o  rotation of its polarization eigenstates around its axis of propagation, either prior to or during its passage through the second polarizing beamsplitter (54). The second beamsplitter (54) splits the rotated transmitted beam portion into second and third heterodyne optical output signals which respectively impinge upon second and third photodetectors (58, 64).
