Abstract:
The present invention aims to simultaneously solve problems such as those related to the jig during skewing process of end surface at the final stage of production of glass capillary tube, and the shape of the exterior surface of the glass capillary tube being restricted by the structure of optical component such as optical waveguide device. Means for solving the problems include forming one or a plurality of flat portions 8, 9, and one or a plurality of partial cylindrical portions 10, 11 connected to such flat portions 8, 9 on exterior surface 7 of glass capillary tube 1 for holding optical fiber, all partial cylindrical portions 10, 11 being formed from a single central axis X and with the same radius, and forming insertion hole 3, into which optical fiber 2 is inserted and held, at a position deviated from central axis X in a direction perpendicular to first flat portion 8, which serves as a benchmark.
Abstract:
An object of the present invention is to very accurately position and align a plurality of optical fibers in each groove of a substrate for an optical fiber array, without leading to inappropriate upsizing and complication of an apparatus and increase in cost. To achieve the object, an optical-fiber aligning part 3 of a substrate 1 is formed, in parallel, with a plurality of grooves 2 at least on the top thereof, the plurality of grooves retaining and aligning a plurality of optical fibers 5. A cross section perpendicular to a longitudinal direction of the grooves 2 is recessed at a center portion of the top in the widthwise direction, and depths A of the grooves 2 provided at the center portion are shallower than depths A of the grooves 2 provided at both ends in the widthwise direction.

Abstract:
The present invention's method and apparatus to generate test sequences for communication protocols input the data of the finite state machines (FSM) representing the specification of the communication protocols, and convert the test sequence generation problem to the SAT problem, and generate test sequences for communication protocols by solving the SAT problem. In addition, the present invention converts the test sequence generation problem to the SAT problem by modifying the FSM and describing the test sequence generation problem by using a conjunctive normal form formula based on the modified FSM. According to the present invention, by considering the multiple UIO sequences and the overlapping of the UIO sequences, the minimum length test sequence to check whether the states described in the specification of the protocol exist in the implementation of the FSM can be generated. According to the present invention, by considering the overlapping of the subsequences, the minimum length test sequences to check whether the state transitions described in the specification of the protocol is correctly implemented in the implementation of the FSM can be generated.
