Abstract: A system for providing bi-directional RF services over a point-to-multipoint Passive Optical Network (PON). A system that can transport upstream RF signals generated by devices such as a set top box or a cable modem, through a passive Optical Network while simultaneously supporting downstream RF video and bi-directional base-band services on the PON.

Abstract: When a cloth article being treated is sandwiched between a main roll 1 and a heating bed 1a and sent in the direction indicated by arrow L is sucked onto a suction roll 15a about which a guide belt 15d has been wound, the transfer of the cloth article being treated to that guide belt 15d is aided, and, in particular, the continued turning of the article being treated together with that main roll, in a condition where it is stuck to the surface of the main roll 1 is prevented. In order to attain the object stated above, compressed air is blown as indicated by arrow j from an air jet pipe 21 having nozzle holes bored therein. The article being treated blown by the compressed air flow is blown away from the main roll 1, sucked over to the suction roll 15a as indicated by arrow s, transferred to the suction belt 15d, and conveyed along as indicated by arrow e.
