Publication number: 20150180583Abstract: [Problem] In relation to optical communication of a wavelength-division multiplex method, provided is an an optical transmission device capable of performing transmission of an optical signal wherein the influence of waveform distortion or the like generated when the optical signal passes through a device or the like on a transmission line is suppressed, and deterioration of waveform is accordingly small. [Means for solution] The optical transmission device comprises a multiplexing means 80, an amplification means 81 and an optical signal correction means 82. The multiplexing means 80 multiplexes together optical signals inputted to it by means of paths in accordance with respective channels of the optical signals, and outputs thus produced signal as a multiplexed signal. The amplification means 81 amplifies the multiplexed signal and outputs thus produced signal as an amplified signal.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 24, 2013Publication date: June 25, 2015Applicant: NEC CORPORATIONInventor: Takeshi Nakata

Patent number: 8717601Abstract: For a web application which takes time to execute processing, Internet connection between a web browser and the web application needs to be maintained until the completion of processing. In a web application server which provides conversion processing from document data into print data, the conversion processing itself is provided as a software process asynchronous with the web application. The web application only accepts a conversion processing execution request. The progress is confirmed using Comet communication, and the web server delays a response to an HTTP request.Type: GrantFiled: April 6, 2011Date of Patent: May 6, 2014Assignee: Canon Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Kenta Yabe, Takeshi Nakata
