  • Patent number: 12216898
    Abstract: An equipment-management device associated with at least one of multiple pieces of equipment in a building under management, the equipment-management device including a display-information generator, a touchscreen, and an action-control-information generator. The display-information generator generates display information on a management screen wherein icons are arranged, each of the icons including an outer frame and a first area set at one end along the major axis within the outer frame. The touchscreen displays the display information and receives an input of information relating to an operation performed on the management screen. Upon detecting that a slide operation performed on one of the icons of the management screen from the first area through a first slide-operation detecting line set inside the outer frame excluding the first area, the action-control-information generator generates action-control information that switches the power supply of the corresponding equipment on or off.

  • Patent number: 7583896
    Abstract: An optical transmitter of an optical-wireless hybrid transmission system according to the invention outputs a first single-mode optical signal (center frequency: fC1) to an optical receiver, generates a polarization-coupled optical signal by orthogonal-polarization-coupling a second single-mode optical signal (center frequency: fC2) with a third single-mode optical signal (center frequency: fC3) so as to give the two waves orthogonal polarization directions and the same optical power, and transmits the generated polarization-coupled optical signal to a base station as an optical carrier signal. The optical receiver couples a modulated optical signal transmitted from the base station with the optical signal output from the optical transmitter, demodulates an electrical signal having intermediate frequencies fIF1 and fIF2 that is obtained by photodecting a resulting coupled optical signal, and generates transmit-data by filtering a resulting output signal.

  • Patent number: 7236708
    Abstract: An optical communication system can increase a minimum optical reception level or the number of connectable optical receivers by controlling optical output levels of its optical transmitter. The optical communication system includes the optical transmitter having an optical variable splitting controller for splitting received light into N parts and supplies them to N optical fibers, and N optical receivers for receiving the signals sent via the N optical fibers. The optical variable splitting controller regulates its optical output levels to be supplied to the N optical fibers by controlling the optical coupling ratios. For example, the optical variable splitting controller may regulate its optical output levels by controlling its optical coupling ratios such that optical reception levels become equal for all the N optical receivers.

  • Patent number: 5896216
    Abstract: The AM/FM converter of the present invention comprises an optical frequency modulation section which receives multi-channel AM video signals and outputs an optical-frequency-modulated optical signal beam; and an optical heterodyne detection section comprising an optical frequency oscillator composed of a semiconductor local laser which outputs a local oscillator optical beam having an optical frequency separated by a designated intermediate frequency, an optical coupler, and a photoelectric converter composed of a photodiode, which receives the optical signal beam and outputs an electrical batched FM modulation signal which is frequency-modulated and frequency-converted to the intermediate frequency. By means of this configuration, the invention offers an AM/FM converter wherein the frequency band is made considerably wider.
