Abstract: A reflection characteristic of a sample is measured using an integrating sphere by: measuring an apparent reflectance of a reference sample by using integrating sphere, the reference sample having a known true reflectance under a given illumination condition; calculating coefficients for rendering a linear combination of a measured apparent reflectance of the reference sample and N-th power (N is 2 or more integer) of the measured apparent reflectance closer to the known true reflectance of the reference sample; storing calculated coefficients in a storage medium as coefficients for the given illumination condition; measuring an apparent reflectance of a desired sample by using the integrating sphere; calculating a true reflectance of the desired sample under the given illumination condition by multiplying the terms of the linear combination of an measured apparent reflectance of the desired sample and N-th power of the measured apparent reflectance of the desired sample by the coefficients stored in the stor

Abstract: The measuring apparatus of the present invention measures the optical properties of a sample containing a fluorescent material by irradiating the sample with light containing a UV component. In the present invention are provided a first light source for irradiating the sample with light containing a UV component, a second light source for irradiating the sample with light which does not contain a UV component, light receiving element for receiving light reflected from the sample irradiated by said light sources, and output means for generating weighting coefficients for weighting the output of the light receiving element during emission by each light source. The optical properties of the sample is calculated based on the output of the light receiving element for a first light source, output of the light receiving element for a second light source, and the respective weighting coefficients.

Abstract: In a control device for controlling a CPU 11 in accordance with an input voltage which is applied to the CPU and which results from a power source voltage, a first detecting circuit 16 produces a first detection signal when the power source voltage is lower than a first voltage. Responsive to the first detection signal, a switching circuit 21 stops supply of the input voltage to the CPU and the CPU assumes to a waiting state. A condenser 15 discharges an electric voltage in order to compensate a drop of the input voltage. When the input voltage is lower than a second voltage which is lower than the first voltage, a second detecting circuit 17 produces a second detection signal to make the CPU become a reset or an initial state.

Abstract: A cordless telephone system includes a fixed unit and a portable unit which communicate with each other over a radio link. The portable unit includes a rechargeable battery, and a battery saving device for interrupting a power supply to predetermined sections of the portable unit in response to a control signal. The fixed unit includes a charging device for converting and AC voltage into a DC voltage to produce a charging voltage, and a detecting device for detecting when the rechargeable battery is being charged by the charging voltage, and for outputting a detection signal in response thereto. The fixed unit further includes a supplying device which is responsive to the detection signal for outputting the control signal and for supplying the control signal to the portable unit together with the charging voltage.

Abstract: A method of connecting a cordless telephone by radio without using control channels selects priority radio channels from radio channels which are shared by cordless telephones and assigns each of them to a respective one of the cordless telephones. So long as the priority radio channel assigned to any of the telephones is not occupied by another telephone, that telephone uses it. A portable unit of the telephone is allowed to enter into a call origination flow in response to a call origination request only after confirming that an incoming calling signal is not being sent over the priority radio channel from a fixed unit which is associated with the portable unit. Even when a call origination request occurs before a radio connection for an incoming call, the fixed and portable units are prevented from tuning to different radio channels without the need for a control channel.

Abstract: A mobile radio communications system for wide area mobile radio communications allows any two remote mobile stations to hold communications by way of a public switching network. A fixed station governing an area in which a calling mobile station is located sends to a switching network its own identification (ID) data and ID data associated with a mobile station which is connected to the fixed station by radio. Based on the two kinds of ID data, a called mobile station sees a telephone number assigned to the calling mobile station and a telephone number assigned to the fixed station which is associated with the calling mobile station.

Abstract: A multi-frequency (MF) signal transmitting control apparatus and method for use in a cordless telephone system, according to which a dial signal discrimination code within a transmitted dial signal causes an audio circuit to be turned off for a sufficient length of time to enable all of a multi-frequency signal to be sent to an exchange. As a result of the audio circuit being turned off at this point, the amount of noise received by a listener during a conversation in which dialing buttons are accidentally pressed by the bearer of the device is reduced.

Abstract: A line switching circuit for a communications system which includes a cordless telephone and gives priority of use to an ordinary telephone associated with the cordless one is disclosed. The circuit includes a current detector for detecting a current which flows through the telephone, a circuit having a time constant on only one of positive going edges and negative going edges of an output of the current detector, a relay interposed between the cordless telephone and a subscriber's telephone line, and a driver for driving the relay. The relay is closed immediately upon change of the telephone from an off-hook state to an on-hook state and opened with a predetermined time constant upon change of the same from an on-hook state to an off-hook state, whereby a hand-over of conversation between the telephones may be effected without any malfunction even if a ringing signal from a central office is received.

Abstract: A cordless telephone system which is capable of connecting a plurality of mobile stations to a single base station over a radio link is disclosed. The mobile stations are classified into a master and slaves. While the master mobile station is capable of originating and receiving a telephone call, the other or slave mobile stations are only capable of receiving a telephone call.
