Patent EP-1130820-A3 (EP)
Inventor: SHIMOJOH NAOMASA
IPC: H01S3/10
Filed: 2000-12-06
Abstract: An object of the invention is to provide, for an optical amplifier which performs
amplification of optical signals of two wavelength bands, an optical amplifier and an
optical amplification method of a simple configuration which can deal with restrictions
on installation space, power consumption and the like. Hence with the optical amplifier
of the invention, optical circulators are respectively connected to opposite ends of an
optical amplifying means, and optical signals of the respective wavelength bands of a
first wavelength band and a second wavelength band are input and output to the
optical amplifying means via each of the optical circulators so that the propagation
directions of the respective optical signals of the respective wavelength bands are in
mutually opposite directions inside a rare earth element doped fiber. As a result, the
optical signals of the respective wavelength bands can be collectively amplified with a
simple configuration using a single rare earth element doped fiber.

Abstract: An engine control apparatus of a vehicle comprises an air
conditioner with a variable displacement compressor (104). The
pressure difference measured between two monitoring points in a
refrigeration circuit represents the compressor displacement. The
compressor is controlled by a control valve (109), which operates
based on the pressure difference between the discharge chamber (23)
and the high pressure conduit (40). A controller compares the
temperature of the passenger compartment with a temperature
setting. If they differ, the controller determines a target
pressure difference for the control valve. The controller
computes the compressor torque based on the target pressure
difference signal. The controller determines a target engine
torque based on the compressor torque and controls the engine
based on the target engine torque.

Abstract: An apparatus for bursting perforations on an article has a
retractable burst member and an opposed second retractable burst member
that imposes an impact force on the perforations on the perforated lid.
Retractable burst members are arranged for vertical movement towards and
away from one another in a common plane. The article is positioned in a
plane substantially perpendicular to the movement of the burst members so
that the burst members can engageably contact the article at the
perforations. A separator is used to capture the perforated lid at the burst
perforations and then retract for separating the perforated lid from the main
portion of the article.

Abstract: A table-top coffee vending machine (10) providing
slide-out storage containers (30, 32) for easy filling and
removal, a compact fast acting coffee brewing system and a
filter paper cutting and storage system. A plurality of
storage containers (30, 32) for ground coffee, hot chocolate
ingredient and condiment are provided in a rack system that
allows the group of containers (30, 32) to be slid out of
the machine cabinet (12) on telescoping rails (36, 38) to
allow easy filling and removal of the containers (30, 32).
The brewing method includes simultaneously supplying water
and coffee grounds to a brewer, stopping the supply of both,
allowing the mixture to steep and then beginning to remove
the mixture from the brewer while reinitiating the supply of
water to the brewer for a sufficient time to supply a
complete cup of coffee at a cup station (20). The filter
paper cutter cuts lengths of paper (56) from a continuous
supply of filter paper (56) after it is used in the brewer
to filter the coffee. The cutter is saw-toothed and a paper
clamping mechanism is used to clamp the paper (56) in the
area where it is to be cut. The cut lengths of paper are
collected in a removable tray (18) and are compressed into
a stack by a sweeper bar (134) that is activated in
conjunction with the cutter action.

Abstract: A metal gasket is disclosed in which a shim(2)
laid on a bead plate(1) around bore apertures(3) in the
bead plate(1) is varied in radial width along the
peripheries of the bore apertures(3) to compensate for
sealing stress circumferentially of the bore apertures
(3). The metal gasket is composed of a bead plate(1)
with beads(7) around its bore apertures(3) and a shim
(2) including annular areas defining bore apertures(6)
and bridges (4) connecting together any two adjoining
annular areas. The shim(2) around the bore apertures
(6) has a radial width at the bridges (4), which is
substantially equal with a width across a web defined
between any adjoining cylinder bores formed in mating
surfaces of the cylinder block and cylinder head.
Moreover, the shim(2) at areas other than the bridges
(4) is varied continuously in its radial width in a
range of from a flat area(8) around the bore apertures
(3) to an area corresponding to the bead(7) on the bead
plate (1). Variations in radial width of the shim(2)
makes compensate partly for a sealing stress
distribution around the first bore apertures (3).

Abstract: Responsive to image data of three colors, six hue data
are obtained, and then first comparison-result data each
relating to one of the six hues, and second comparison-result
data each relating to one of the six inter-hue areas
are obtained. Matrix calculation is performed on the first
comparison-result data, and the second comparison-result
data, using coefficients. By varying the coefficients,
adjustment can be made to only the target hue or inter-hue
area, without affecting other hues and inter-hue areas.
Thus, the six hues and six inter-hue areas can be varied
independently, and the large-capacity memory is not
required. The coefficients used for the matrix calculation
are stored in a storage, which can be set and altered by the
use of a setting unit.

IPC: H01H61/02
Filed: 2000-10-26
Abstract: Microelectromechanical structures include a
microelectronic substrate and spaced apart supports on
the microelectronic substrate. A beam extends between
the spaced apart supports and expands upon application of
heat thereto, to thereby cause displacement of the beam
between the spaced apart supports. The application of
heat to the beam creates a thermal conduction path from
the beam through the spaced apart supports and into the
substrate. A thermal isolation structure in the heat
conduction path reduces thermal conduction from the beam,
through the spaced apart supports and into the substrate,
compared to absence of the thermal isolation structure.
The thermal isolation structure preferably has lower
thermal conductivity than the beam and the supports. The
heat that remains in the beam thereby can be increased.
The thermal isolation structure may include a thermally
insulating structure at each end of the beam, a thermally
insulating structure in each spaced apart support, a
thermally insulating structure in the substrate adjacent
each spaced apart support, and/or at least one thermally
insulating structure in the beam. Accordingly, improved
thermal efficiency for microelectromechanical structures
may be provided, to thereby allow lower power, higher
deflection, larger force and/or higher speed.
