摘要:
An object of the invention is to provide a control apparatus and a control method having a simple constitution, which can stably perform switching of optical path in an optical signal exchanger, while suppressing an influence on a control due to the mechanical resonance of tilt mirrors. To this end, the control apparatus of the optical signal exchanger is constituted such that in an optical signal exchanger of three-dimensional type using one set of MEMS mirror arrays, each having a plurality of tilt mirrors arranged on a plane, each tilt mirror having a reflecting surface an angle of which is controllable, when the angle of the MEMS mirror on the optical path is feedback controlled by detecting power of an optical signal output from a specific position, a resonance component removing section that removes a resonance frequency component included in a control signal is shared corresponding to a pair of driving electrodes arranged in a coaxial direction of the MEMS mirror. As a result, the influence on the feedback control by a resonance action of the MEMS mirror can be reduced, while suppressing an increase in circuit size.

In a digital filter device which filters a plurality of signals by a single digital filter, an input data memory stores the input data strings generated by computing processors, and a digital filter reads the input data strings in a predetermined sequence to be filtered and generates output data strings. An output data memory stores the output data strings, and a data processor reads the output data strings in a predetermined sequence to be processed. Furthermore, a filter memory and coefficient memories respectively store data-under-calculation and a filter coefficient in a delay circuit included in the digital filter.

A stabilization apparatus according to the present invention comprises a stopper which is in contact under pressure with one side face of a movable body capable of swinging around a torsion bar, this one side face being vertical to an axial direction of the movable body, to damp the movable body. The stopper is displaced between a first position at which the stopper is in contact under pressure with the side face of the movable body, and a second position apart from the side face, according to a drive voltage applied to a stopper electrode. The drive voltage for the stopper electrode is controlled by a control section at the appropriate timing according to a drive condition of the movable body. As a result, the resonance operation can be reliably suppressed even when an angle of the movable mirror is changed at a high speed, and thus, it becomes possible to stabilize the movable mirror to be in a desired state in a short time.

A mirror controller of an optical switch comprises a signal generator (10, 82, 83) for passing the optical signal on the same light path as the one for optical communication using the optical switch, and an image analyzer (15, 16, 81) detecting the optical signal as the light scattered by at least one of tilt mirrors (111, 123) and an output collimator array (14). The image analyzer detects the position of the light beam image as a control position (121, 141, 85) based on the scattered light, and controls the tilt mirrors in such a manner that the detected control position coincides with the predetermined desired target position (122, 142, 84, 86) on at least one of the tilt mirrors and the output collimator array. The mirror controller can realize the connection test of the optical signal between input and output with high accuracy and reliability.

An electrode includes a fixed electrode and a movable electrode. The electrode drives a mirror disposed on the side of the movable electrode by generating electrostatic force between the fixed electrode and the movable electrode when voltage is applied. The fixed electrode and the movable electrode are formed so that a distance between the fixed electrode and the movable electrode increases as an overlapping area between the fixed electrode and the movable electrode increases.

An optical device includes an I/O port group and a movable mirror reflecting light input through an input port of the I/O group, aligning the light reflected with an output port of the I/O port group, and changing the angle of the light reflected according to a driving voltage supplied thereto. The optical device further includes a control unit that adjusts the driving voltage within a range lower than the voltage at which the degree of alignment of the light with respect to the output port is maximized and controls attenuation of the light reflected by the moveable mirror.

摘要:
Instant noodles are produced, which have an excellent reconstitution property, can be reconstituted by pouring of boiling water even if the noodles are thicker than before, and have excellent taste and texture. The instant noodles are produced by: making raw noodle strings each having a multilayer structure including three or more layers; spraying superheated steam to the raw noodle strings; gelatinizing the noodle strings to which the superheated steam has been sprayed; and drying the noodle strings which have been gelatinized. It is preferable to gelatinize the noodle strings by spraying the superheated steam to the noodle strings, supplying moisture in liquid form to the noodle strings, and further heating the noodle strings by using the superheated steam and/or saturated steam.
