  • Patent number: 5428586
    Abstract: A magneto-optical recording method employs a magneto-optical recording medium having a first magnetic layer which exhibits a low coercive force at room temperature and a high Curie temperature and a second magnetic layer which is exchange-coupled to the first magnetic layer and which exhibits a higher coercive force and a lower Curie temperature as compared with those of the first magnetic layer. A magnetic field modulated in accordance with information to be recorded is applied to the magneto-optical recording medium while irradiating it with a light beam of a constant intensity so as to record the information. The recorded information is simultaneously confirmed by using a reflected light of this light beam.

  • Patent number: 5311117
    Abstract: In a watt-hour meter in which first and second input signals representing an analog electric current and an analog voltage of an alternating current are converted into first and second digital signals, a first adder produces a sum signal which represents a sum of the first input signal and an additional analog signal of a frequency different from that of the first input signal and which is substituted for the first input signal. The meter may further comprise a second adder which adds another additional analog signal to the second input signal. Alternatively, the meter comprises low-pass filters and oversample-and-convert circuits to produce the first and the second input digital signals.
