摘要:
Fluorescent particles strongly fluorescing upon irradiation with ultraviolet rays, as well as a process for producing the same, are provided. A water-insoluble fluorescent dyestuff and/or pigment fluorescing upon irradiation with ultraviolet rays and a powdery material including starch, cellulose, other polysaccharides and sugars are mixed and granulated. The surface of granules of the powdery material may be coated with the fluorescent dyestuff and/or pigment. In granulation or coating, a resin having reactive groups reacting with the hydroxyl groups of the powdery material is used in combination, whereby particles excellent in water resistance can be obtained. Further, the interaction between an anionic binder contained in the granules and a cationic material contained in the coating layer or between a cationic binder contained in the granules and an anionic material contained in the coating layer can be utilized to confer water resistance on the particles. By inclusion of the fluorescent particles in paper, there can be provided anti-falsification paper wherein the particles fluorescing in a specific hue can be clearly visually recognized upon irradiation with ultraviolet rays.

摘要:
A video signal output circuit which permits switching an output video signal from one input video signal source to another without loss of synchronization of the video monitor. A first pulse signal is produced synchronized with the vertical synchronizing signal of the first video signal. A first detector circuit detects the phase difference between the first pulse signal and a second pulse signal synchronized with the vertical synchronizing signal of the second video signal, and the period of generation of the first pulse signal is controlled in response to the phase detected phase difference. A second phase detector detects when the phase difference between the first pulse signal and the second pulse signal is within a predetermined range easily tolerated by the monitor. Switching from the first to the second video source is permitted when this phase difference is within the predetermined range.
摘要:
A main optical waveguide portion and/or branching optical waveguide portions of the optical waveguide is tapered in such a way so as to expand towards the output side for reducing a coupling loss due to mismatching of numerical apertures N.A. between optical fibers and the optical waveguide, wherein the light entering the optical waveguide at an angle determined by the numerical aperture N.A. of the optical fiber gradually reduces its angle of incidence to an interface of the core and cladding as it passes by a portion where the taper is provided and when the light reaches the output side of the optical fiber, the numerical aperture N.A. thereof is effectively reduced to a value which is lower than the numerical aperture N.A. determined by a difference of refractive-indices in the optical waveguide. By making the numerical aperture N.A. of the optical waveguide a little greater than that of the optical fiber, it is possible to reduce the loss at the input side as well as the loss at the output side simultaneously, and further, the taper need not necessarily be a straight taper but a curved taper also can be used.
