Abstract: In an automatic film developer, measurements are taken of internal temperature parameters during a warm up phase. Based on measured temperature values a time for completing the warm up phase is calculated. The calculated time for warm up is displayed so that it can be read by an operator. When the calculated time for warm up completion has elapsed, an indication is displayed that the film developer is operational. During the warm up phase, film is not allowed to advance through the automatic film developer. When the calculated time for warm up completion has elapsed, advance of film through the film developer is automatically started.

Abstract: A time-keeping section is programmed in such a manner that a predetermined number of virtual particles are caused to reciprocatively move between two virtual space regions successively, and the time-keeping section can sequentially keep time with accuracy using, as a basic time unit, a time required for the predetermined number of virtual particles to make a single travel from one of the space regions to the other space region. With the time values yielded by the time-keeping section, it is allowed to accurately accumulate the basic time unit over a preset time period (e.g., time data for 1,000 years). By incorporating such a time measuring device in each selected computer, accurate common time can be set for shared use among computers connected in a network and also with a computer loaded in an artificial satellite operating far from the earth. In addition, communication among the computers and remote control of any of the computers can be performed very smoothly.

Abstract: An RZ (return-to-zero) signal mode is adopted as a transmission coding format, whereby the effect of cross phase modulation is suppressed. The duty factor of each of signal light waves is allowed to vary at a digital signal processing stage, whereby the average power levels of the signal light waves are controlled so as to become constant in an optical repeater, with the result that the peak power levels of the signal light waves are allowed to vary. In consequence, the transmission characteristics of the signal light waves can be varied.
