Abstract: Time-divisionally-multiplexed light receiving signals are sampled at a predetermined time interval as they are, and then converted into digital data. Then, address is determined based on an index signal as a standard of the time-divisional multiplexing, and the data are sequentially stored in a data memory. When the data are sequentially read out, change of quantity of the data is obtained to determine a period having the smallest change in quantity as an effective period. Then, the data included in the effective period are selected and separated to a sample side beam, reference side beam and cutoff period. Thus, the multiplexed light receiving signals are accurately separated by the digital data.

Abstract: A pulse signal generator comprising a magnetic element able (1) to cause a large Barkhausen jump; a detection member (2) for detecting a magnetic change in the magnetic element to generate a pulse signal; and a pair of magnetic field sources (3, 4, 6, and 7) provided in parallel to each other on both sides of the magnetic element such that their poles (3A, 4A) are opposed to each other so that when an object (5A) advances from one of opposite poles to the other of the magnetic field sources, a magnetic field applied to the magnetic element changes, causing a large Barkhausen jump in the magnetic element, thus causing the detection member to generate a pulse signal.

Abstract: In a seat belt retractor, when a collision predicting signal is generated from a collision predicting device, a motor rotates counterclockwise, and a pawl is thereby raised via a lever so as to move to a position contacting saw-blade teeth of a ratchet gear. In this state, when a rotational force is applied in the seatbelt-extraction direction, the rotation is prevented. On the other hand, the rotation in the seatbelt-retraction direction can be performed by pushing down the pawl with a diagonal portion of the saw-blade tooth of the ratchet gear.
