  • Publication number: 20020149819
    Abstract: A first coupler, a second coupler, FBG, a third coupler, BA, and a fourth coupler are connected in series and inserted between an input-side optical fiber and an output-side optical fiber. An input wavelength multiplexed signal is branched by a branching filter connected to the second coupler into individual wavelengths, and, based on the output of the branching filter, the number of wavelengths in branch optical signal is computed in a branch optical signal wavelength number computation section. On the other hand, the number of wavelengths in insertion optical signal is computed in an insertion optical signal wavelength number computation section based on insertion optical signal, and the number of wavelengths in input optical signal is computed based on an SV signal branched from the first coupler.

  • Patent number: 6339684
    Abstract: The recording apparatus of the present invention acquires time data from a clock built in the main body of the apparatus, and generates first calculation data by calculating the time data with a predetermined calculation method. Meanwhile, in the cartridge attached to the main body, the time data is acquired from the main body, and second calculation data is generated by calculating the time data with the same calculation method as the above-mentioned predetermined calculation method. As a result of comparing the first calculation data to the second calculation data, it is judged that the attached cartridge is proper when both of the data match, and it is judged that the attached cartridge is not proper when both of the data do not match. It is thereby possible to judge whether or not the cartridge attached to the main body is proper.
