Patent EP-0913896-A3 (EP)
Inventor: NAKANO MASAYUKI
IPC: H01S5/042
Filed: 1998-10-27
Abstract: In a laser diode driving method, a bias
current set about the light emission threshold current
of a laser diode, and a pulse current for causing the
laser diode to emit light are adjusted in accordance
with the ambient temperature. The laser diode is driven
by a current prepared by superposing the bias current
and the pulse current, thereby controlling the optical
output and extinction ratio of the laser diode at a
constant level. A laser diode driving circuit is also
disclosed.

Abstract: A laser printer (10) is provided having an
automatic printhead identification system for use in a
family of laser printers that are compatible with more
than one model of printhead. For example, a single
laser printer model can be made so that two different
printheads can be successfully used, so long as the
printer system knows which laser printhead has actually
been installed. To detect which printhead has been
installed, the printer operating system provides a
reference clock signal (REF CLK) having a pre-determined
frequency, which dictates the rotational speed of the
motor (42). Once the motor (42) has achieved a "lock"
operational speed, the printer (10) measures the scan
rate of the faceted mirror by detecting the time
interval between pulses of the "HSYNC" signal. The
HSYNC signal is sent to a "divide-by-n counter" circuit
(40) which divides the pulse frequency of the HSYNC
signal, thereby increasing the time interval (by a
factor of "n") that must be sensed by the system to
determine which printhead is in fact installed. So long
as the HSYNC "lock" frequency is different between the
various models of printheads that are compatible with a
particular model laser printer, the principles of the
invention can be used without adding any extra hardware
sensors, signals, or memory addresses and detecting
codes.

Abstract: The present invention is for facilitating
removal of water around the catalytic layers (2) of a polymer
electrolyte fuel cell and for providing a polymer
electrolyte fuel cell which can prevent a drop in
output performance caused by excessive wetting of
electrode layers due to a long-hour operation or a large
current outputting operation. The polymer electrolyte fuel
cell according to the present invention uses an electrode
layer (7) having a water repellent porous base area and
penetration areas which are higher in water permeability
than in the base area. Such base area and penetration
areas are formed as by imparting water repellency unevenly
on a hydrophilic pore material, for example.

Abstract: An apparatus (34)
and a method of recording and reading data to
and from a multi-track magnetic tape (106 and 122) utilize a multi-transducer
magnetic head (100 and 120) that is able to change its azimuth angle relative
to the magnetic tape to compensate for variations in tape width due to
sources of dimensional instability, such as age-related tape shrinkage. In one
embodiment, the magnetic head contains at least eight write/read pairs (102)
positioned between two servo readers (104). Each servo reader includes a
servo read transducer (111). During the original recording operation, the
magnetic head (140) is positioned at a write azimuth angle, for example, twenty
degrees, such that a small change in the azimuth angle can compensate for
age-related tape shrinkage. A read operation includes aligning two servo
read transducers to two recorded servo tracks (114A,114B,114C,124A,
124B and 124C) by laterally moving the magnetic head and changing the
azimuth angle of the magnetic head to a read azimuth angle. In the preferred
embodiment, the lateral movement of the head aligns the top servo read
transducer to a desired servo track. Then, the magnetic head is pivoted
about the top servo read transducer until the bottom servo read transducer
is aligned to an adjacent servo track. The re-recording operation includes
recording new data into the recorded tracks (112,116,126 and 128) using
the magnetic head that is positioned at the read azimuth angle.

Abstract: This invention provides a bonded substrate stack
separating apparatus. A bonded substrate stack (101) is
sandwiched and supported from both sides by a pair of substrate
supporting members (201, 202) each having an annular shape. An
enclosed space (210) is formed around a porous layer (101b)
exposed to the edge of the bonded substrate stack (101). A fluid
is injected into the enclosed space (210), and pressure is
applied to the fluid. The pressure of the fluid substantially
standing still is applied to the porous layer (101b) to separate
the bonded substrate stack (101) at the porous layer (101b).
This invention also provides a separating method suitable to
separate a bonded substrate stack. A bonded substrate stack
(100) formed by bonding a first substrate (10) having a
cavity-containing layer (e.g., a porous layer formed by
anodizing) (2) on a main body substrate (1) and, on the
cavity-containing layer, a non-cavity-containing layer (e.g.,
a single-crystal Si layer and an insulating layer) (3) to a second
substrate (20) is stored in a closed vessel, and pressure is
applied. Cavity walls (2a, 2c) break due to the pressure
difference between the external pressure and the internal
pressure in cavities (2b, 2d) in the cavity-containing layer
(2). Break progresses into the cavity-containing layer (2), so
the bonded substrate stack (100) is separated at the
cavity-containing layer (2).
