The present invention discloses a concept of natural index contrast (NIC) for producing photonic waveguides and methods of fabrication thereof. Such waveguide forms the basis of a class of chip-scale micro- and nano-photonic integrated circuits (PICs). The NIC method utilizes the built-in refractive index difference between two layers of dielectric thin films of two different materials, one laid on top of another. This new class of waveguides simplifies the PIC fabrication process significantly. Based on the NIC based waveguides, PICs can be fabricated for a number of photonic applications such as arrayed waveguide grating (AWG), reflective arrayed waveguide grating (RAWG), interleaver, interferometer, and optical sensor. Additionally, several other PICs can also be fabricated via tiers of integration, such as triple-phase integration. Examples of such devices include optical amplifier, wavelength router, sensor, optical modulator, transmitter, receiver, transponder, fully built dense wavelength division multiplexer and demultiplxer, optical power splitter, multicahnnel tunable optical attenuator, and multicahnnel tunable optical add-drop multiplexer. Unlike hybrid integration, triple-phase integration monolithically integrates multiple optical functionalities on a single chip.

A toner container (101) is detachably attached to a developing device (104). A toner (120) stored in the toner container (101) is supplied through a supply opening (104a) to a hopper (105) of the developing device (104). A movable shutter (123) is provided below the supply opening (104a). The shutter (123) opens the supply opening (104a) when the amount of the toner (121) in the hopper (105) is less than a predetermined amount, and closes the supply opening (104a) when the amount of the toner (121) in the hopper (105) is greater than or equals to the predetermined amount.

The leadscrew follower structure further includes a bearing in which the threaded insert is received and which permits the threaded insert to rotate about the insert axis, a bearing support in which the bearing is received, and a preload structure which biases the insert thread against the leadscrew thread.

In the present invention, processing for setting a parameter expressing a measurement condition of three-dimensional measurement to a value necessary to output a proper recognition result is easily performed. The three-dimensional measurement is performed to stereo images of real models WM1 and WM2 of a workpiece using a measurement parameter set by a user, and positions and attitudes of the workpiece models WM1 and WM2 are recognized based on the measurement result. An image expressing the recognition result is displayed, and numerical data indicating the selected recognition result is set to sample data in response to a user manipulation for selecting the recognition result. A setting value of the measurement parameter is changed every time in a predetermined numerical range, the three-dimensional measurement and recognition processing are performed using the setting measurement parameter, and a numerical range of the setting parameter is set to an acceptable range when the recognition result in which an amount of difference with sample data falls within a predetermined value is obtained. An intermediate value of the acceptable range is fixed and registered as an optimum value of the parameter.
