Multiplexing-technology based large-capacity transmission requires the installation of many types of interface card. In addition, supporting a redundant configuration for preventing data communication from being interrupted requires the devices and cards more than double those required for the production system. An optical communication card includes multiple optical signal transmission/reception units, main signal processing units corresponding to the optical signal transmission/reception units and required for a multiplexed system, and a connection selection unit that can switch among multiple optical transmission lines, and each of the main signal processing units includes multiple function units and a function selection unit.

Direct alcohol fuel cells using solid acid electrolytes and internal reforming catalysts are disclosed. The fuel cell generally comprises an anode, a cathode, a solid acid electrolyte and an internal reforming catalyst. The internal reforming catalyst may comprise any suitable reformer and is positioned adjacent the anode. In this configuration the heat generated by the exothermic fuel cell catalyst reactions and ohmic heating of the fuel cell electrolyte drives the endothermic fuel reforming reaction, reforming the alcohol fuel into hydrogen. Any alcohol fuel may be used, e.g. methanol or ethanol. The fuel cells according to this invention show increased power density and cell voltage relative to direct alcohol fuel cells not using an internal reformer.

A dispersion compensating fiber whose chromatic dispersion is positive and a negative dispersion compensating fiber whose chromatic dispersion is negative are prepared, and division-multiplexed optical signals, after being guided to either dispersion compensating fiber to once shift the whole wavelength band to positivity or negativity, are subjected to fine adjustment with a dispersion compensating fiber of a reverse sign.
摘要:
In the WDM systems, the OSNR and the signal loss among the optical signals are substantially minimized at the receiving terminal to combat the SRS effects. An equal amount of the signal loss is expected for every span in the transmission path so that the optical amplifier gain tilt is not affected among a number of wavelength frequencies in the optical signal. This is accomplished by controlling the amplification process according to a feedback from the monitoring units for monitoring the optical signal.

摘要:
There is suppressed deterioration of transmission quality resulting from FWM light generated in the optical fiber of an optical transmission apparatus that performs wavelength division multiplex transmission. To suppress deterioration of the transmission quality due to the FWM light, the sender apparatus adjusts the intensity of wavelength-division-multiplexed light output to the optical fiber, according to a level of FWM crosstalk observed by receiver apparatus.
