Abstract: A front-end circuit includes a power amplifier circuit, a low noise amplifier circuit, a connection switching circuit, a bypass circuit and an attenuation unit. The connection switching circuit switches connections in response to a control signal. The bypass circuit forms a bypass in response to a control signal. The attenuation unit includes a plurality of attenuation circuits. The plurality of attenuation circuits include attenuation circuits. In the case where an antenna terminal is electrically connected to the power amplifier circuit, the attenuation circuits attenuate a branch signal leaked from the transmission signal into a transfer line for transferring the reception signal in response to the control signal. In the case where the antenna terminal is electrically connected to the low noise amplifier circuit, the attenuation circuit attenuates the reception signal in the transfer line in response to the control signal.

Abstract: The present invention provides an optical amplifying device which can be easily downsized, increased in output, and stabilized. An optical amplifying device 1A includes an optical amplifier 10A and an energy supplier 30. The optical amplifier 10A includes an optical amplifying medium 11 and a transparent medium 12. The energy supplier 30 supplies excitation energy (for example, excitation light) to the optical amplifying medium 11. The optical amplifying medium 11 is supplied with the excitation light to amplify light and output it. To-be-amplified light passes through the transparent medium 12 in the optical amplifying medium 11 a plurality of times. The transparent medium 12 can propagate the to-be-amplified light, for example, zigzag inside.

Abstract: A cylindrical lens (4) diverges a laser beam (L1) in the Y-axis direction (i.e., within the YZ plane) but neither diverges nor converges it in the X-axis direction (i.e., within the ZX plane). An objective lens (5) converges the laser beam (L1) emitted from the cylindrical lens (4) into a point P1 in the Y-axis direction and into a point P2 in the X-axis direction. A pair of knife edges (13) adjust the divergence angle (?) of the laser beam (L1) incident on the objective lens (5) in the Y-axis direction. As a consequence, the cross section of the laser beam (L1) becomes an elongated form extending in the Y-axis direction at the point P2, while the maximum length in the Y-axis direction is regulated. Therefore, locating the point P2 on the front face of a work (S) can form an elongated working area extending in the Y-axis direction by a desirable length on the front face of the work (S).

Abstract: An animal motion toy wherein a toy body modeled in the form of an animal has movable arm frames on both sides, movable leg frames on both sides, an openable mouth portion, and a built-in sounding member. The arm frames are rotated by a first crankshaft incorporated in the toy body and the mouth portion is opened and closed and the sounding member makes a sound by a second crankshaft incorporated in the toy body. The leg frames are moved by a third crankshaft incorporated in the toy body. A gear changeover mechanism is connected to a motor which is turned on when a microphone provided in the toy body receives a sound generated by an external signal. The gear changeover mechanism is operative to drive either said first and second crankshafts or said third crankshaft.
