  • Patent number: 8785775
    Abstract: The present invention provides a waterproof box which can improve water performance and work efficiency, and can reduce space. When washing water hits in the lower surface (33h) of first waterproof portion (33) of an upper cover (15), spay is generated. At this time, an outer surface (30b), which is formed in a tapered shape, of first waterproof portion (30) abuts on an inner surface (33g), which is formed in a tapered shape, of the first waterproof portion (33). Further, the outer surface (30b) engages with the inner surface (33g). As a result, the inlet of a minute path (27) is closed. Even if water leaks, force of the water is reduced because the water enters in a groove (33b or 35a). The water in which force of the water is reduced falls down.

  • Patent number: 8457003
    Abstract: This invention enables an abnormality analysis to be easily and reliably performed in the FA system of the EtherCAT (registered trademark). A controller has a protocol monitor function of operating in a monitor system program, and constantly monitors data communicated with a remote device. The controller has an abnormality diagnosis function of detecting abnormality, and thus holds the data monitored immediately before when abnormality is detected. As the protocol monitor function is incorporated, a protocol monitor does not need to be newly plugged into the network as an external device after the occurrence of abnormality, and the data that becomes the cause can be held from the abnormality that occurred first by monitoring from the beginning of the operation of the system and can be used for analysis.

  • Patent number: 8285144
    Abstract: An optical device for rearranging wavelength channels in an optical network is disclosed. The optical device has a wavelength selective coupler having one input port and a plurality of output ports coupled to a plurality of input ports of an optical grating demultiplexor such as an arrayed waveguide grating. The wavelength channels in each of the input ports are dispersed by the demultiplexor and are directed to a plurality of output ports of the optical grating demultiplexor. As a result, at least one wavelength channel at each of the input ports of the optical grating demultiplexor is coupled into a common output port. The optical device is useful in passive optical networks wherein a same demultiplexor is used for simultaneous multiplexing and demultiplexing of wavelength channels.

  • Publication number: 20120245119
    Abstract: A method for easily and efficiently separating a sialyllactose material from a milk material is disclosed. The method comprises removing proteins from the milk material to obtain a protein-free liquid, adjusting the pH of the protein-free liquid to obtain a pH-adjusted liquid, and concentrating the pH-adjusted liquid by an ultrafiltration (UF) membrane. Since the method also allows separation of sialyllactose from lactose and minerals, sialyllactose can be obtained with high purity, making the sialyllactose material highly useful for food, pharmaceutical, and other applications.

  • Publication number: 20120195544
    Abstract: An optical interferometer for demodulating a differential phase shift keying optical signal includes a planar lightwave circuit and at least one free space delay line optically coupled to the planar lightwave circuit. The planar lightwave circuit has a waveguide splitter, a waveguide coupler, and a phase adjuster. In operation, the splitter splits the optical signal into equal portions, the phase adjuster adjusts the relative phase of the optical signal portions, and the free space delay line provides one-bit delay between the portions of the optical signal. The delayed signals are mixed in the waveguide coupler. The free space delay line can be made variable for adjustment of the bit delay for operation at different bit rates, and/or for optimization of the interferometer performance.

  • Patent number: 8123882
    Abstract: A shrinkage suppression layer used in the production of a ceramic substrate according to a non-shrinkage process provides favorable removal performance while sufficiently ensuring the restraining performance of the shrinkage suppression layer. Resin beads, which disappear at a temperature lower than the sintering temperature of a low-temperature sintering ceramic material of a base material layer to form open bores in a shrinkage suppression layer, are added to the shrinkage suppression layer and dispersed uniformly at least in a principal surface direction. The shrinkage suppression layer provides sufficient restraining performance to the base material layer in the step of firing, and after the firing, forms open bores, thereby improving the removal performance of the shrinkage suppression layer.
