An optical receiver module that receives a wavelength multiplexed light and a process to assemble the optical receiver module are disclosed. The optical receiver module provides a coupling unit to collimate the wavelength multiplexed light and a device unit that installs an optical de-multiplexer and photodiode elements within a housing. The front wall of the housing through which the wavelength multiplexed light passes is polished in a right angle with respect to the bottom of the housing.

Optical receiver module and process to assemble optical receiver module

An optical receiver module that receives wavelength multiplexed light and a process to assemble the optical receiver module are disclosed. The optical receiver module provides a coupling unit to collimate the wavelength multiplexed light and a device unit that installs an optical de-multiplexer and photodiode elements within housing. The front wall of the housing through which the wavelength multiplexed light passes is polished in a right angle with respect to the bottom of the housing.

A process of installing optical components as precisely aligning optical axes thereof is disclosed. The process, which relates to an optical module having a signal port and/or a local port, and optical components optically coupling the ports with an active device having a built-in photodiode (PD), includes steps of (a) preparing a reference mirror that emulates a housing with a side to which the ports are attached, (b) aligning an optical axis of the auto-collimator with an optical axis of the reference mirror; (c) replacing the reference mirror with the housing; (d) aligning optical axes of the optical components with the optical axis of the auto-collimator; and (e) installing the optical components within the housing.

Method of producing optical module and optical module

An optical transceiver is disclosed, where the optical transceiver includes an optical subassembly (OSA) with a bottom plate for dissipating heat and connected to an electronic circuit with a flexible printed circuit (FPC). The FPC is soldered with the side electrodes of the OSA as forming a solder fillet in the plane electrode, or the FPC is soldered with the plane electrodes of the OSA as forming the solder fillet in the side electrodes, and leaving a limited room for receiving the curved FPC in peripheries of the OSA.

An apparatus for continuously producing polyester comprises three single reactors, i.e. a single esterification reactor (first reactor), a single initial polymerization reactor (second reactor) and a single final polymerization reactor (third reactor or final polymerizer), where at least one of the first reactor and the second reactor is free from an external stirring power source, or the third reactor is a horizontal, one-shaft-type, low speed rotation type reactor. Necessary number of reactors for the esterification and polycondensation reactions can be a minimum and necessary stirring power consumption for the reaction can be a minimum, and thus polyester polymers of good quality can be efficiently produced at a minimum energy cost in a necessary minimum reactor structure.

The computer of the present invention is provided with a main body on which keys to be operated by the user are disposed and a display unit that displays an image in accordance with each operation executed for the main body. Each key disposed on the main body is composed of its body having a key top and a light accumulator recess opened in the key top. The light accumulator recess is formed in a manner indicative of the character or symbol associated with such key. The light accumulator recess has embedded in it a light accumulating material such that the character or symbol associated with the key is illuminated by the residual light emission of the light accumulating material when the computer is operated in a location with little or no ambient light.

In a network management system in which a management application performs management operations on respective managed objects in a communication network, a template management portion stores a processing sequence described by the user into a database, and when a start request is given from a management application, a processing sequence execution portion issues a table generating request to an internal table generating portion. The internal table generating portion generates tables and then delivers an end report and the generated tables to the processing sequence execution portion, so that the processing sequence execution portion executes management operations for managed objects on the basis of the set of tables. The aforementioned processing is repeated whenever a start-up request arises from the management application. Thus, a user not only can describe behavior of management services without consciousness of a program language but also can execute management operations by describing the behavior.

Method of creating information for executing network management

The present invention relates to a resilient hollow grip cap for removable mounting on the top of a computer control device i.e., a finger actuated pointing stick. The cap has a plurality of short fibers adhered to its outer surface and extending outwardly away from the surface of the cap.
