Title: Fish friendly hydraulic turbine distributor
Inventor: OTTAVIANO TEODORO ANGELO
IPC: F03B3/18
Filed: 2005-02-10
Abstract: A hydraulic turbine has a distributor located between the scroll of the turbine and its runner. The distributor has upper and lower stay ring portions with stay vanes extending therebetween. A plurality of movable wicket gates control flow of liquid through the distributor. The lower and upper stay ring portions have built up fish friendly projections adjacent sweep areas defined where the wicket gates sweep across the lower and upper stay ring portions.

Title: A method and system for removing the effects of corneal birefringence from a polarimetric image of the retina
Inventor: HUANG XIANGRUN
IPC: A61B3/12
Filed: 2003-09-30
Abstract: A scanning laser polarimetry (SLP) system that measures in vivo retinal nerv e fiber layer (RNFL) retardance ( .delta.N, .theta.N) in a single measurement without a variable corneal compensator (VCC). The diagnostic signal is biase d so that the detected RNFL retardance orientation angles are sufficiently similar at adjacent pixels in the retinal polarimetric image to permit resolution of the orientation angle ambiguity in a single polarimetric image without repeating the measurement at another signal polarization state. With a simple bias retarder, the effects of anterior segment retardance (.delta.N, .theta.N) can be removed from a single polarimetric image of the retina without a VCC. Alternatively, from two single polarimetric images obtained a t two different bias retarder positions, the anterior segment retardance magnitude .delta.C and orientation .theta.C and the RNFL retardance magnitud e .delta.N and orientation .theta.N can all be determined from the peripapilla ry RNFL image region alone.

IPC: H04B10/08
Filed: 2005-04-05
Abstract: An apparatus for measuring a set of frequency-resolved states of polarization (SOP) of an optical signal includes a local oscillator (LO), a polarization scrambler, a coupler for mixing the polarization-scrambled signal with the optical signal to produce a heterodyned signal with a radio frequency (RF) component, and an analyzer for passing a fixed polarization component and resolving the polarization and frequency from the RF component. The apparatus is used for measuring, monitoring or compensating the polarization mode dispersion (PMD) in a working channel of an optical telecommunication system. A method for measuring frequency-resolved SOP of an optical signal includes tuning and polarization-scrambling a local oscillator (LO), mixing the scrambled LO with the optical signal, and resolving the RF signal in frequency and polarization. The method is applied to measure and monitor PMD in a working optical channel, and to dynamically compensate for the PMD.
