Abstract: A photoelectric composite connector comprises a first connector unit which is connected to optical transmission means and a second connector unit which can be attached to and detached from a first connector unit freely. The first connector unit comprises a photoelectric conversion module and an electrical connector section having a first conductor which is electrically connected to the photoelectric conversion module. The second connector unit is formed as an electrical connector unit corresponding to the electrical connector section of the first connector unit and having a second conductor. The first conductor of the electrical connector section of the first connector unit and the second conductor of the second connector unit are electrically connected to each other when the electrical connector section of the first connector unit and the second connector unit are connected to each other by use of their electrical connector structures.

Abstract: A brush holding apparatus is mounted to an inner wall surface of a rear bracket and a cap mounted to a head portion of a brush holder portion is exposed through an opening in the rear bracket. Brushes are housed inside brush insertion apertures of the brush holder portion and are placed in elastic contact with slip rings by springs. An abrasion detection terminal is insert molded into the brush holder portion, a contact thereof projecting inside one of the brush insertion apertures and coming into contact with the corresponding spring when the brushes are abraded by a predetermined amount.

Abstract: An elevator signal transmitting apparatus of the invention has a parent station provided in a machine room so as to control signal transmission, a plurality of child stations respectively provided in halls so as to control signal transmission, first and second balanced transmission lines each having one end connected to the parent station, first and second unbalanced transmission lines each having one end connected to the plurality of child stations, a first interface unit connected to the other ends of the first balanced transmission line and of the first unbalanced transmission line so as to convert the balanced signal input from the parent station through the first balanced transmission line into an unbalanced signal and output the unbalanced signal to the plurality of child stations through the first unbalanced transmission line, and a second interface unit connected to the other ends of the second balanced transmission line and of the second unbalanced transmission line so as to convert the unbalanced si

Abstract: A semiconductor laser device includes a semiconductor laser element having a quantum well structure active layer having n levels of quantum states (n<2) from the first quantum level to the n-th quantum level in which the front facet reflectivity and the rear facet reflectivity are asymmetrical so that oscillation can occur at the n-th quantum level, a reflecting mirror having a reflectivity that causes oscillation of the semiconductor element to occur at a quantum level lower than the n-th quantum level, and a reflecting mirror moving unit for positioning the reflecting mirror in the neighborhood of the front facet or the rear facet of the semiconductor laser element. Therefore, a semiconductor laser device which can oscillate at two or more wavelengths with a simple construction is obtained.
