  • Patent number: 10193630
    Abstract: A selection and distribution circuit (13) is provided between N optical transceivers (11) and one PON control circuit (12). The selection and distribution circuit (13) selects the optical transceiver (11) corresponding to an upstream frame that time-divisionally arrives, thereby transferring the upstream frame opto-electrically converted by the transceiver (11) to the PON control circuit (12) and distributing a downstream frame from the PON control circuit (12) to each optical transceiver (11). A power supply control circuit (23) stops power supply to at least one of one of optical transceivers (11) that are not used to transfer the frame of the optical transceivers (11) and a circuit that is not used to transfer the frame in the selection and distribution circuit (13). This can reduce the system cost per ONU in the optical transmission system.

  • Publication number: 20180212897
    Abstract: An upstream allocation circuit (14) and a downstream allocation circuit (15) are provided in an OLT (1). For example, a superimposed frame obtained by bundling upstream frames (upstream control frames+upstream data frames) from all ONUS is input to the upstream allocation circuit (14) via a frame reproduction circuit (12-1). The superimposed frame may be generated at the stage of optical signals or generated after converting optical signals into electrical signals. The upstream allocation circuit (14) allocates each of the upstream control frames bundled into the superimposed frame to a predetermined PON control circuit (13) based on information (PON port number or LLID) added to the frames. The downstream allocation circuit (15) allocates, to a preset frame reproduction circuit (12), each downstream control frames output from the PON control circuits (13).

  • Publication number: 20180144017
    Abstract: A technique of operating a system is provided that processes data with one or more data processing modules provided in parallel. A synchronization token is input into at least one data processing module that is in an operational state from the one or more data processing modules provided in parallel, in response to a request to change allocation of the data. The allocation of the data is changed to the one or more data processing modules provided in parallel, after the synchronization token is input. In response to the synchronization token having arrived at a data processing module at a later stage, the at least one data processing module, that stopped the processing, starts processing data after the synchronization token is input to the at least one data processing module.

  • Publication number: 20180024369
    Abstract: A head mounted display (HMD) is provided with a frame worn on the head of an observer and supporting an optical unit, and a position adjusting mechanism. The position adjusting mechanism adjusts the position, in a vertical direction, of the optical unit by moving a nose-pad portion in the vertical direction relative to the frame. The optical unit includes: an observation optical system positioned in front of the eyes of the observer to cause light representing an image generated by an image generation unit to be diffracted and reflected by a hologram optical element in the direction of the observer's pupil, thereby enabling the observer to observe a virtual image of the image; and a rotating mechanism for causing the optical unit to rotate about an axis along the eye-width direction of the observer and to be held in an arbitrarily defined position.
