  • Patent number: 6188916
    Abstract: The malfunction of a vibrator as a drawback of a conventional independent vibrator type portable terminal is obviated. A communication system of a portable communication terminal comprises a portable communication terminal capable of movably communicating with another communication terminal via radio communication with a base station, and peripheral equipment which performs a predetermined operation via radio communication with the portable communication terminal. The portable communication terminal transmits a radio signal to the peripheral equipment by using a time division multiplex access system for exchanging signals by putting data on a time slot as the radio communication between the portable communication terminal and the peripheral equipment and using the time slot in a time zone excluding other time zones in which the portable communication terminal is transmitting a radio signal to the base station.

  • Patent number: 5381261
    Abstract: An optical isolator not dependent on the plane of polarization of an incident beam and does not allow the plane of polarization to change on the outgoing side. The optical isolator comprises a first parallel flat double refractive crystal substance; a first Faraday rotor for rotating the plane of polarization of a beam; a second parallel flat double refractive crystal substance; a second Faraday rotor for rotating the plane of polarization in a direction opposite to that in which said first Faraday rotor rotates the plane of polarization; a third parallel flat double refractive substance; a fourth parallel flat double refractive substance; and permanent magnets for magnetizing the Faraday rotor and second Faraday rotors. Since a pair of Faraday rotors for rotating the plane of polarization in opposite directions, the plane of polarization on the incident side does not change on the outgoing side.
