Wave power plant consisting of frame carrying at least two paddles unit, capable of moving successively in series, when driven by progressive waves and returning by the gravitation power and the backward wave's force. The plant has an appropriate means with at least one crankshaft mechanism for transferring the successive motion of paddle units in two ways into electric energy. Each of the paddles units have a rod, to be submerged into the sea and which is secured on the frame with possibility for pivoting with respect thereof, the lower extremity of the rod is terminated by a paddle plate and the paddles units are arranged around the frame in series. The energy consumed successfully by each paddle unit is equal to the energy of the paddle's movement forward from the forward wave's force plus the energy of the paddle's movement backward from the backward wave's force and the paddle's gravity. The plant's energy is consumed, in at least one hydraulic engine, which rotate generators.

An antenna system measurer for a repeater and a base station measures powers of a progressive wave and a reflected wave of a transmit / receive antenna, and transmits measured results to a monitoring server in a radio data format such as an SMS message. The monitoring server receives the radio data, identifies a repeater and a base station from sender information of the radio data, and calculates a VSWR based on the measured values. The VSWR is modified based on characteristics of the base station such as length and substance of feeders from a base station identifier corresponding to the sender information. According to the present invention, the remote antenna system is monitored in real-time without visits or installation fees, and a plurality of repeaters and base stations is managed in a combined manner.

Disclosed herein in an energy absorption device that incorporates a diverse range of uses within a single shock absorber. The disclosed energy absorption device is a novel combination of interaction between various components (e.g., piston head, shock tube, cylinder end, external cylinder, and adjustment mechanism) within a single shock absorber. When the components disclosed herein are considered together and designed as an interrelated assembly, the ability to incorporate such a diverse range of uses within a single device emerges. The ability to combine dashpot, square wave, progressive wave, and self-compensating damping in a single device is unprecedented, as is the ability to deliver sublinear damping force vs. input velocity performance in an adjustable device. The disclosed device allows a user to make simpler sizing calculations and decisions, and provides the user with the ability to adjust the shock absorber to a specific application, for example, with the turn of an adjustment knob.

A high frequency detection circuit in accordance with the present invention detects information about a first high frequency power in a high frequency power source device supplying the first high frequency power having a first frequency (f) and a second high frequency power having a second frequency (f1) lower than the first frequency (f) to a load (7). A third high frequency signal (V1) that is a mixed signal of a first high frequency signal having the first frequency (f) and a second high frequency signal having the second frequency (f1) is detected by a directional coupler (12). The third high frequency signal (V1) is converted to a fourth high frequency signal (V1') having a third frequency (Deltaf) between the first and second frequencies (f, f1) using a heterodyne system. A progressive wave power (Pf) of the first frequency (f) is detected based on the fourth high frequency signal (V1').

The present disclosure relates to a non-invasive and real-time diagnostic analysis concept for a working single-mode fiber optic communication system and a method of using the same. The system includes optical fibers capable of being non-invasively diagnosed, including optical fibers for delivering light beams. The optical fiber includes a first end for receiving a light beam and a second end opposite thereto, a core including an inner wall and a cladding around the core, the optical fiber further includes at least one cladding-free portion comprising a plurality of quantum dots dispersed in a medium, and wherein the quantum dots become activated by evanescent wave coupling caused by total internal reflection of a light beam contacting the inner wall of the core of the optical fiber, and wherein the activation results in light Emission from quantum dots.

A developing device, process cartridge, and image forming apparatus that use ETH development, and are capable of forming good multi-color images with a simple construction, and are capable of preventing the dispersal of powder. The developing device is for developing latent images on a latent image carrying member by applying powder to the latent image carrying member, and comprises: a transport member disposed in opposition to the latent image carrying member and having a plurality of transport electrodes that generate a progressive wave electric field to move the powder; a voltage supply device for applying a multi-phase voltage to the transport electrodes; and a transport member surface potential determination device for determining the surface potential of the transport member. The voltage supply device in the developing device according to the present invention applies a multi-phase voltage to the transport electrodes so that the surface potential on the transport member is between the potential of the image portions and the potential of the non-image portions of the latent image carrying member.
