    Abstract: A fiber-optic communication system for data bursts includes a plurality of nodes, each including a laser diode transmitter. In order to reduce the noise floor of the system, each laser diode receives bias current only when it is transmitting data. Due to the propagation delay between nodes, there is a dead time between data bursts received by each node during which no data signals are received. The bias current of the laser diode is adjusted following each data transmission, so that the light attributable to laser operation during the setting of bias is received during the dead time. The adjustment is accomplished by stepping an up-down counter by one clock pulse following transmission of each data burst.

    Abstract: An apparatus and method for accurately measuring and dispensing dry material into a portable container. The apparatus includes a frame with a material hopper connected thereto. An arm member with a valve mounted thereto is rotatably connected to the frame and the valve communicates with an outlet in the hopper. A funneling member is positioned proximate to the valve and is also connected to the arm member. Rotation of the arm member opens and closes the valve and also produces substantially vertical movement of the funneling member therewith. The funneling member includes a chute depending downwardly therefrom that inserts into the container opening when a container being filled is placed in the apparatus. The container is placed on a scale which communicates with an attached controller. The controller communicates with an actuator which rotates the arm member and thereby controls movement of the valve and the funneling member. The controller signals the actuator to close the valve at a time when the weight of the container reads a predetermined amount less than the desired amount. As the valve closes, the flow rate of material gradually slows. The valve is sealed at a time corresponding to the weight of the container reaching the desired amount.

    Abstract: A hand-powered apparatus and method for measuring and dispensing a predetermined volume of liquid. A predetermined volume of liquid is selected using a control knob on the apparatus and a valve is moved to a fill position. The handle on an attached hand pump is then moved alternately up and down causing fluid to be drawn into a measuring vessel. Further upward movement of the handle is prevented upon the fluid level in the vessel reaching the selected volume. Thereupon, the valve is moved to a dispense position whereby continued pumping of the handle is again possible. The handle is alternately pumped up and down causing the fluid to exit the vessel.

    Abstract: In a system for transmitting two level data bursts on a fiber optic (FO) bus, a circuit for turning on a light emitting diode to an excitation level induced by a current I.sub.B corresponding to the knee of the diode characteristic curve and increasing the emitted light in response to a second increasing excitation current over a second portion of the curve beyond the knee extending from excitation level I.sub.B to excitation level I.sub.M. The circuit includes first logic for exciting the diode by the first current, a light responsive device for determining when the emitted light reaches the intensity represented by the knee of the curve and induced by I.sub.B, and logic for reproducibly storing I.sub.B. Second logic responds to the excitation of the diode to the knee of its curve to further excite the diode with the second excitation current until the diode emits a desired light intensity induced by I.sub.B +I.sub.M. Logic is provided for reproducibly storing a signal I.sub.M. Switching logic supplies the current I.sub.M to the diode in response to the data bursts and supplies I.sub. B to the diode substantially concurrently with the data bursts. In the absence of the data bursts the current level I.sub.B is reduced to substantially zero.

    Abstract: Within a power supply circuit for a semiconductor laser, output current is maintained constant at each temperature level over an operating range and the magnitude of that constant current is varied directly with temperature to maintain the light output of the laser substantially constant over the operating temperature range. In the preferred embodiment, the negative temperature coefficient characteristic of the base-emitter junction voltage for bipolar transistors is utilized to compensate for the negative temperature coefficient characteristic of the light output from the semiconductor laser.
