Abstract: In this invention, a control circuit (111) controls both the power supply voltage (VDDQ) and the transistor size of the external output buffer to thereby select the lowest supply voltage that achieves the impedance matching with the transmission line (100), to thereby save bus termination by a resistor, thus consequently achieving both the lowering of the power consumption and the speeding-up in the data transmission. The power consumption during the data transmission is proportional to the square of the supply voltage. If the operational supply voltage of the external output buffer is lowered, the power consumption will be reduced accordingly. If the operational supply voltage of the external output buffer is lowered, the impedance thereof will be increased apparently; and at the same time, if the transistor size of the external output buffer is increased, the increased impedance will be decreased.

Abstract: In a rotary pump for a braking apparatus, a discharge trench is formed on an axial direction end surface of a second side plate that forms a mechanical seal. As a result, rotors are pressed back toward a side of a first side plate by a discharge pressure of brake fluid channeled to the discharge trench. Accordingly, a force pressing the rotors toward the second side plate is reduced and frictional resistance is reduced.

Abstract: A rotary pump such as a trochoid pump is composed of a housing and a rotating structure including an inner rotor and an outer rotor. The rotating structure is rotatably enclosed in a rotor space formed in the housing. The rotor space is divided into a low pressure space communicating with an inlet port and a high pressure space communicating with an outlet port by a pair of peripheral seals disposed in radial grooves formed in an inner periphery of the housing and by a side seal disposed in an axial space between the rotating structure and the housing. The side seal is disposed in the axial space not to cover sidewalls of the radial grooves belonging to the high pressure space, so that the side seal is bent by the pressure in the high pressure space to effectively seal the axial space.

Teeth gap portions formed by the outer and inner rotors in mesh communicate with an outer circumference gap between the circumference of the outer rotor and inner circumference of a center plate and also with a shaft hole of the inner rotor through extremely slight gaps formed by concave and convex of the radial line grinding stripes so that contact surface between the outer and inner rotors and the second side plate is well lubricated to reduce torque loss.

Abstract: A signal light passes through an isolator, and is coupled by a coupler with a pump light from a pump light source. Then, the signal light passes through an ASE reflection filter, is amplified by an EDF, and is transmitted from an isolator. At this time, an ASE light having a predetermined wavelength among ASE lights that occur within the EDF and proceed to the ASE reflection filter is reflected and again input to the EDF. By setting the predetermined wavelength to a wavelength on the short wavelength side of an amplification band of the EDF, gain deviation occurring on the long wavelength side of the amplification band can be cancelled.
