An electronic driver circuit for comnmunicating a logic value along a conductor (12) from one part of a system (10) to another (14) by representing each of two logic values by one of two logic levels (VDD, Vss).A capacitor (CR1) reduces ground and power reference differences between a chip containing the driver and the board on which it is mounted. The capacitor also provides power and ground decoupling. According to another aspect, a controlled slew rate ramp initiates an incident or outbound wave or turn-on and circuits are described for this. The time taken to complete the controlled slew rate ramp can be adjusted. The arrangements allow reduced power consumption, whilst at the same time producing desirable signal characteristics.

The present invention relates to a LED soft glow nightlight and more particularly, to a LED soft glow nightlight with a ultra-thin assembly by utilizing a simple light-emitting diode (LED) as a source of illumination and a transparent plastic film. When LED light passes through a transparent plastic film, it generates speeding clear light. The transparent plastic film allows light to form an evenly distributed glow, making it a safe and reliable way of illumination.

A shape measuring machine includes a slider that supports a scanning probe including a tip sphere. A scale unit detects a displacement of the slider. A tip sphere displacement detection unit detects a displacement of the tip sphere. A calculation unit includes a correction filter and an adder, and calculates a measurement value from the displacements of the slider and the tip sphere.

Elevator safety and safety related information needs to be sent reliably to safety controlling systems. Existing elevator communication devices may be used for transmitting this information by processing the received safety and safety related information and processing it before sending it over the communication bus from the elevator car or floor equipment to the controlling devices. A separate communication unit may be used for receiving and processing safety and safety related data packets before they are transmitted over a common bus used for safety and safety non-critical submission.

In order to accurately remove an unnecessary periodic noise component from an image, a reconstruction unit generates a reconstructed image without a periodic noise component by fitting to a face region detected in an image by a face detection unit a mathematical model generated according a method of AAM using a plurality of sample images representing human faces without a periodic noise component. The periodic noise component is extracted by a difference between the face region and the reconstructed image, and a frequency of the noise component is determined. The noise component of the determined frequency is then removed from the image.

An optical disk device has an aperture of an objective lens in an incoming path of a beam from a semiconductor laser to an optical disk formed larger than an aperture in a return path from the optical disk or an aperture is varied in recording and in reproduction. This configuration improves recording / reproducing ability since light is focused on an optical disk with high numerical aperture. In addition, since reflected light from the optical disk is detected with low numerical aperture, margins for tilt and defocus are not reduced. Furthermore, since unnecessary signal components contained in the reflected light can be eliminated, a S / N (signal-to-noise ratio) of an information signal also increases. Thus, a high-performance optical disk device can be obtained. Alternatively, by varying the aperture of an objective lens in recording and in reproduction, an optical disk device in which recording density and recording quality are increased without deteriorating reproduction quality can be obtained.
