A method for producing a tapered waveguide layer is disclosed. The method includes the steps of: forming a resist pattern on a substrate; setting the substrate in an apparatus for forming a film such that particles constituting the film reach the substrate from a direction which is oblique relative to the substrate; forming the film on a region of a surface of the substrate which is not covered by the resist pattern, the film having a thickness distribution corresponding to a shadow which the resist pattern creates on the substrate in accordance with an angle between the substrate and the direction; and removing the resist pattern, thereby forming the tapered waveguide layer consisting of the film on the substrate.

摘要:
A correction device for correcting the deviation of light beams of a primary scanning direction used for an image forming apparatus in which a plurality of light beams are simultaneously scanned on a recording medium in the primary scanning direction so that a plurality of lines are simultaneously recorded. A plurality of beam detectors, the number of which corresponds to the number of beams of light, are disposed in a scanning region in parallel with the primary scanning direction. Only one light beam is incident upon each beam detector, and a difference of detection time between the plurality of beam detectors is detected by a same beam detection interval detector. A different beam detection interval detector detects a time difference between detection of different light beams are detected. Based on the time differences detected by the same beam detection interval detector and by the different beam detection interval detector, a deviation time calculator calculates the deviation of a plurality of light beams of the primary scanning direction. Based on the calculation result of the deviation time calculator, a deviation corrector controls the phase of a printing clock for the image formation conducted by the plurality of light beams and also controls a timed relation of the start of image formation.

An optical integrated circuit is disclosed. The optical integrated circuit includes: a dielectric waveguide having at least a waveguide layer for transmitting light in a first direction; a first reflector for reflecting the light in a substantially opposite direction to the first direction, the first reflector being formed on an end face of the waveguide layer; a grating coupler having a grating for diffracting at least a part of the light in a second direction which is different from the first direction, the grating coupler being formed at a surface of the waveguide layer; and a light detector for detecting the diffracted light, the light detector being optically connected with the dielectric waveguide.

Disclosed is an engine for an automotive vehicle designed such that a mixed gas supplied to the combustion is burned first in the periphery of the combustion chamber and then over the entire length in the peripheral direction of a cylinder, followed by burning the mixed gas in the center of the cylinder. Plural sources of ignition, i.e. ignition gaps of spark plugs, are so disposed at a peripheral end portion of the combustion chambers in spaced relationship with each other in a cylindrically peripheral direction as to allow the flame ignited by each of the spark plugs to coincide or collide with each other in the cylindrically peripheral direction and thereafter in the center of the cylinder. This arrangement can eliminate NOx and HC and perform dilute combustion, thereby improving fuel economy.

A dial-type timer device having a timer body and a dial on a face of the timer body. A cover, including a locking pawl, is placed on the face of the timer body so that the dial protrudes through a hole therein. A setting ring is mounted on the dial and engages the locking pawl at a selected location to repeatedly set the time. Alternatively, two setting rings, each including a tooth on its outer periphery, are mounted on the dial to limit the range of rotation of the dial. Also, in a timing circuit of the timer, a dummy resistor of substantially the same impedance as an output relay, with its own switching element is connected in series with the output relay. By switching current alternatively through the output relay and the dummy resistor, fluctuation of current in the circuit is minimized and stable power is supplied to the time-limit circuit.

An image processing apparatus includes an image memory for storing image information, an execution process for processing the image information stored in the image memory. A table is also included, for storing a use condition of the image information stored in the image memory, as well as a management process for managing a memory area of the image memory on the basis of the use condition stored in the table.
摘要:
A numerical value setting device which accomplishes a numberical value setting or registering operation whether a power supply is interrupted or restored during its operation has a set value registering timer. The set value registering timer defines a period at the end of which the set value is registered. The set value registering timer counts different period clock pulses depending on the states of the power supply to assure that the correct numerical value is registered.
