Abstract: A dishwasher is disclosed which includes a washing cabinet, a frame disposed within the washing cabinet, and a basket, which is placed on the frame, and whose height is adjustable by a back and forth movement. With this construction, there is no need to lift the basket, rotate it 90°, and reposition the basket to adjust a height of the basket. Rather, it is possible to adjust the height of the basket by a simple operation of pulling the basket forward or pushing it rearward.

Abstract: An optical sensing apparatus for use in a ring laser interferometer measuring a physical quantity of an object includes a ring laser cavity formed by several internal mirrors, of which at least two internal mirrors are partly light-transmitting. The ring laser cavity generates two laser beams of an identical wavelength, the two laser beams propagating in counter direction to each other in the ring laser cavity. External mirrors are disposed at a distance from the ring laser cavity, whereby portions of the two laser beams, which pass through the internal mirrors and travel on optical paths toward the external mirrors, are reflected back into the ring laser cavity. The apparatus further includes at least one platform for mounting the external mirrors.

Abstract: An absorption type continuous neutral density filter controls an intensity distribution of a light beam from a laser to provide the intensity distribution of the light beam desired by an user. In the filter, the intensity distribution of the light beam is controlled by adjusting absorption of the light beam by the varying thickness of medium of the filter. This control of the distribution of the light intensity is accomplished by predefining the variance of thickness of the filter to a form required by the user. As a result, the continuous neutral density filter can be easily fabricated.

Abstract: A multiview three-dimensional image display system comprises an image projection screen, two image generation components, a bifold mirror, an spatial light modulator, and projection optics. Each of the image generation components generates successive finite time sequences of time-multiplexed multiview images and thus form a channel of multiview images. Each of the reflecting surfaces of the bifold mirror reflects a different one of the two channels of multiview images. The spatial light modulator comprises a plurality of strip-like shutters, each of which transmits a different one of the finite time sequences of time-multiplexed multiview images. The projection optics projects the images through the spatial light modulator onto the image projection screen, where the spatial light modulator is imaged to make a single viewing zone.

Abstract: An error correction method and apparatus for correcting multiple errors in received digital data word signals calculates syndromes S.sub.0, S.sub.1, S.sub.2 and S.sub.3 from a block of n received data words and a parity check matrix H. First coefficients .sigma..sub.1 and .sigma..sub.2 are calculated from the derived syndromes and a second coefficient K is calculated from the first coefficients .sigma..sub.1 and .sigma..sub.2. An error location value x.sub.1 is calculated from the second coefficient K, actual error location values X.sub.1 and X.sub.2 are calculated from the value x.sub.1, and error values Y.sub.1 and Y.sub.2 are calculated from the actual error location values X.sub.1 and X.sub.2. The received data words are then corrected by applying the calculated error values Y.sub.1 and Y.sub.2. The error location value x.sub.1 calculator is preferably constituted by logic gates which enable the apparatus to be smaller and faster than those using a conventional ROM table.
