Publication number: 20050201708Abstract: An object of the present invention is to provide a method for manufacturing a bared optical fiber having a good end surface of a coating when the coating of the coated optical fiber is removed, and a device for manufacturing the same. To achieve the above object, according to the invention, a laser beam is applied to an coated optical to fuse the coating or work the coating in other manners, if a coating material has a lower melting point as compared with the material of the bared optical fiber to remove the coating, whereby a bared optical fiber is manufactured. In addition, a cyanogen gas generated when the coating of the coated optical fiber is fused or worked in other manners is decomposed by ozone, thereby being made harmless.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 14, 2003Publication date: September 15, 2005Inventors: Koichi Arishima, Yoshi Kurosawa, Masaru Kobayashi, Mamoru Hirayama, Ryo Nagase

Patent number: 5212380Abstract: An automotive engine control system is provided for an automobile having a variable rotation speed engine which has a plurality of spark plugs served by respective spark plugs. The system includes an optical rotary encoder having a rotatable pulse scale having a row of code pattern with specific light-permeable or light-deflection slits each for outputting a reference position signal and other light-permeable or light-reflection slits each adapted to reduce the amount of light for outputting an angular signal, both of the optical signals being photoelectronically converted and the waveform of the resultant electric signals being shaped based on threshold voltages into electric pulse signals indicative of a reference angle of 0.degree.Type: GrantFiled: May 11, 1992Date of Patent: May 18, 1993Assignees: Optec D.D. Meico Laboratory Co., Ltd., Optec Dai-Ichi Denko Co., Ltd., Mitsubishi Denki Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Seiichi Sato, Kazuo Yamaguchi, Yoshi Kurosawa, Atsushi Ueda, Masami Matsumura

Patent number: 5130536Abstract: An optical rotary encoder having a rotatable pulse scale having a row of code pattern with specific light-permeable or-deflection slits each for outputting a reference position signal and other light-permeable or reflection slits each adapted to reduce the amount of light for outputting an angular signal, both of the optical signals being photoelectronically converted and the waveform of the resultant electric signals being shaped based on threshold voltages into electric pulse signals indicative of a reference angle of 0.degree. and the accumulated angle of rotation, in which the circumferential width of each specific reference slit is made narrower than that of other slit so that the pulse width for angular position indicating of the angular pulse signal is always equal and constant for ensuring more accurate detection of the angle of rotation.Type: GrantFiled: October 26, 1990Date of Patent: July 14, 1992Assignees: Optec D.D. Melco Laboratory Co., Ltd., Optec Dai-Ichi Denko., Ltd., Mitsubishi Denki Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Seiichi Sato, Kazuo Yamaguchi, Yoshi Kurosawa, Atsushi Ueda, Masami Matsumura

Patent number: 5073001Abstract: A photointerruptor for use in an optical transmission-type rotary encoder comprising a rotatable pulse scale having a code pattern and a light-emitting optical fiber and a light-receiving optical fiber secured to a housing with their end faces being opposed to each other on both sides of the code pattern. The housing has a housing main body a pair of optical fiber opposing members for previously inserting the top ends of the respective optical fibers and a housing main body having fitting recesses for holding the optical fiber opposing members with the end faces of the optical fibers being opposed to each other at a predetermined distance on both sides of the code pattern. The housing main body may be constituted by a pair of optical fiber opposing members engageable with each other.Type: GrantFiled: October 26, 1990Date of Patent: December 17, 1991Assignees: Optec D.D. Melco Laboratory Co., Ltd., Optec Dai-Ichi Denko Co., Ltd., Mitsubishi Denki Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Seiichi Sato, Yoshi Kurosawa, Kazuo Yamaguchi, Atsushi Ueda, Masami Matsumura

Patent number: 5038031Abstract: An optical encoder comprising a photointerruptor having light-emitting and light-receiving optical fibers and a rotatable pulse scale disposed in an optical path between both of the opposed end faces of the optical fibers so as to shut the optical path intermittently, thereby generating optical pulses in accordance with an angle of rotation of the pulse scale, in which the light-receiving optical fiber has a larger diameter and a greater numerical aperture NA than those of the light-emitting fiber. The light-emitting optical fiber may be replaced with a light-emitting device. Further, a reflector may be interposed in the optical path. Optical pulse signals indicative of an angle of rotation can be detected effectively and it is possible to facilitate the assembling or wiring operation and reduce the production cost.Type: GrantFiled: June 19, 1990Date of Patent: August 6, 1991Assignees: Optec D.D.
