  • Publication number: 20080063208
    Abstract: A data communication system is provided in which a time required for a wiretapper to decrypt an encrypted text is significantly increased so that concealment is improved. In a data transmitting apparatus (17105), a multilevel encoding part (111) switches a plurality of key information to generate a multilevel code sequence in which the average values of signal levels are different, and then combines the generated multilevel code sequence with information data to generate a multilevel signal having a level corresponding to the combination of the two signal levels. A light modulating part (125) converts the multilevel signal into a modulated signal of a predetermined modulation scheme and transmits it. In a data receiving apparatus (17205), a light demodulating part (219) demodulates the received modulated signal into the multilevel signal.

  • Publication number: 20080056405
    Abstract: A data communication apparatus which improves security against eavesdropping is provided for secret communication using Y-00 protocol. A multi-level code generation section 111 generates, based on key information 11, a multi-level code sequence 12 in which a signal level changes so as to be approximately random numbers. A level conversion section 113 irreversibly converts the multi-level code sequence 12 such that a converted multi-level code sequence 19 does not constitute a mapping of the multi-level code sequence 12. A multi-level processing section 112 generates a multi-level signal 13 having a plurality of levels each corresponding to a combination between the information data 10 and the multi-level code sequence 12. A modulator section 114 modulates a multi-level signal 14 in a predetermined modulation method and outputs a modulated signal 15.

  • Publication number: 20080031630
    Abstract: An optical SSB-SC modulation section 13 subjects an optical signal fa outputted from an optical source 11 to an optical SSB-SC modulation based on the amplitude of an external electric signal fc to thereby output an optical intensity-modulated signal. An optical phase modulation section 14 subjects the optical signal fa to an optical phase modulation based on the amplitude levels of the first to nth external electric signals having frequencies f1 to fn to thereby output the resultant signal as an optical phase-modulated signal. An optical combining section 15 combines together the optical intensity-modulated signal and the optical phase-modulated signal. An optical detecting section 16 performs an optical homodyne detection through a squared detection of the optical intensity-modulated signal and the optical phase-modulated signal combined together to thereby produce a wideband modulated signal, being the difference beat signal between the two optical signals.

  • Publication number: 20080025511
    Abstract: A data communication system wherein the concealment is enhanced by significantly increasing the time required for the wiretapper to decrypt a cipher text. The data communication system is constituted by connecting a data transmitting apparatus (13105) to a data receiving apparatus (11201) via a transmission path (110). In the data transmitting apparatus (13105), a multilevel encoding part (111) receives a predetermined first initial value (key information) and in formation data and generates a multilevel signal that varies in level substantially in a random number manner. A dummy signal superimposing part (118) superimposes a dummy signal on the multilevel signal. A modulating part (112) converts the multilevel signal to a modulated signal of a predetermined modulation form and transmits the modulated signal.

  • Publication number: 20080019523
    Abstract: A data communication apparatus wherein the stealthiness has been enhanced by significantly increasing the time required for a wiretapper to decrypt an encrypted text. The data communication apparatus is constituted by connecting a data transmitting apparatus and a data receiving apparatus via a transmission path. The data transmitting apparatus receives a first predetermined initial value (key information) and information data, generates a multi-valued signal the level of which varies substantially like a random number, and converts the multi-valued signal to a modulated signal of a predetermined modulation format for transmission. The data receiving apparatus demodulates the modulated signal to output the multi-valued signal, and then reproduces the information data from the multi-valued signal and a second predetermined initial value (key information) that is received.

  • Publication number: 20070289284
    Abstract: A method of manufacturing of power transmission chain 1 by interconnecting plural link plates 2 with pins 3. Individual pin pairs 3 are arranged and temporarily fixed to places. The link plates 2 are sequentially stacked in layers by press-fitting respective through-holes 4 of the link plates 2 about the respective pin pairs 3, whereby the link plates 2 are interconnected to form a circular chain (an endless loop). Subsequently, the individual pin pairs 3 are released from the temporarily fixed state. Thus, the manufacture of the power transmission chain 1 is decreased in the number of operation steps, so that the chain may be assembled easily.

  • Publication number: 20070149331
    Abstract: A power transmission chain of the invention includes: plural link plates individually including through-holes and arranged in a chain advancing direction and a chain widthwise direction and with predetermined spacing; and plural pins inserted through the through-holes for flexibly interconnecting the link plates. Since the link plates are arranged in the chain widthwise direction with the predetermined spacing, a respective pair of adjoining link plates are prevented from coming into friction contact with each other during the operation of the power transmission chain. Hence, the power transmission chain may be prevented from suffering the decrease of power transmission efficiency.

  • Patent number: 7218829
    Abstract: An optical transmission module and method are capable of suppressing the occurrence of multiplexed reflection light, thereby making it possible to easily carry out an optical coupling operation at low cost. A loss generator having an attenuation factor determined based on an extinction ratio of a modulation signal is provided to attenuate reflection light in a transmission path, thereby making it possible to provide a low-cost optical transmission module, which ensures a practically satisfactory efficiency, without providing an optical isolator component. Also, in the optical transmission module, the intensity of light is adjusted by the loss generator. Thus, it is possible to realize the optical transmission module using an optical mounting technique with such accuracy as employed for an ordinary module.

  • Publication number: 20070058975
    Abstract: Modulators respectively modulate baseband signals into IF signals having different frequencies. A multiplexer multiplexes the IF signals. An electrical-optical converter intensity modulates the multiplexed IF signals into optical signals. A local oscillation signal source outputs a predetermined local oscillation signal. An external modulator intensity-modulates the optical signal using the local oscillation signal. An optical branching portion branches the intensity-modulated optical signal and respectively outputs branched optical signals to radio base stations. An optical-electrical converter converts the optical signal into an electric signal, to obtain an RF signal by frequency-converting the IF signal. An antenna only transmits a component having a desired radio frequency extracted in a band filter from the RF signal to a subscriber terminal.

  • Patent number: RE39785
    Abstract: In an optical transmission system, a multiplexer frequency-division-multiplexes a plurality of signals, and outputs the resultant signal to an FM modulator. The FM modulator converts the frequency-division-multiplexed signal into an FM modulated signal through frequency modulation using the frequency-division-multiplexed signal as an original signal. A frequency-divider converts the FM modulated signal into a frequency-divided FM modulated signal whose frequency is ½n (n is an integer of not less than 1) the frequency of the FM modulated signal. An optical modulator has a predetermined input-voltage vs. output-optical-power characteristic, and is biased at the minimum point (voltage) about the output optical power. The optical modulator modulates an unmodulated light fed from a light source with the applied frequency-divided FM modulated signal to produce an optical signal whose optical carrier component is suppressed, and sends the optical signal to an optical transmission line.
