Patent EP-0934146-A1 (EP)
Inventor: JONES RICHARD ALBERT
IPC: D04H1/54
Filed: 1997-10-06
Abstract: A polyolefin plaque is made by hot compaction of an assembly of fibres of the oriented polymer. It has been found to be beneficial to subject the fibres to a prior crosslinking process. Hot compaction is then less temperature-sensitive and produces plaques with excellent hot strength properties. Preferably the fibres have been subjected to prior stages of irradiation and annealing, both in a non-oxidising environment, for example acetylene.

Abstract: Cette invention concerne un système et un procédé qui permettent de créer et de traiter un débit unifié de données comprenant des données temporelles ainsi que des données non temporelles, ceci de préférence sous un format comprimé. Un programmateur (602) va prendre des données temporelles (comme des données de son) et des données non temporelles (comme des données d'images), puis les intercaler de manière à former un débit de données unifié (610). Un processeur va décomprimer les données d'images comprimées, et produire une image de sortie tant à partir des données d'images décomprimées que des données d'images non comprimées. Le processeur va en outre lire les données temporelles (604) tout en décomprimant les données temporelles comprimées. Les données temporelles (604) peuvent se présenter sous quelque format que ce soit, y compris des données vocales ou des fichiers MIDI, ainsi que sous forme de données d'images telles que des images vidéo ou des images fixes. Une série de diapositives informatiques peut être obtenue en programmant et en lisant les données vidéo et audio (y compris MIDI et vocales), lesdites données vidéo et audio étant intercalées en un débit de données unifié (610).

Abstract: In accordance with the invention, a tunable fiber grating comprises a fiber grating
secured between a pair of magnets so that magnetic force (repulsive or attractive)
applied to the magnets is transmitted to the grating. An electromagnet is disposed
adjacent the magnets for applying the field to magnetize them. Control of the current
applied to the electromagnet permits control of the force transmitted to the fiber grating
and, thus, control of the grating strain, spacing and reflection frequency. In a preferred
embodiment the electromagnet is actuated to produce magnetic pulses which control the
remanent force between the two magnets, eliminating the need for continuous power.
An add/drop multiplexer employing the tunable gratings is described.

Abstract: Known dispersion-compensating (DC) optical fibers typically are sensitive to
small changes in fiber parameter (e.g., fiber diameter and/or core refractive index), and
thus are difficult to manufacture. The disclosed DC fibers (21) are relatively insensitive
to small departures from the nominal fiber parameters, and are therefore more
manufacturable. Exemplarily, the nominal refractive index profile of a DC fiber is
selected such that the fiber supports LP 01  and LP 02  (and typically one or more further
higher order modes), and the dispersion is substantially all in LP 02 . The total dispersion
is more negative than -200 ps/nm · km over a relatively wide wavelength range. The
nominal refractive index profile typically comprises a refractive index "nng" (13) that is
spaced from the fiber core (11).
