Abstract: A land-based cable station is provided for interfacing with first and second undersea transmission segments of an undersea optical transmission system. The cable station includes optical transmission terminal equipment for receiving and transmitting optical signals that undergo opto-electric conversion therein. A first interface device is operably coupled to the terminal equipment for bidirectionally communicating optical signals between the terminal equipment and the first undersea transmission segment and for providing signal conditioning to the optical signals received from the terminal equipment so that the optical signals are suitable for transmission through the first undersea transmission segment. A second interface device is operably coupled to the terminal equipment for bidirectionally communicating optical signals between the terminal equipment and the second undersea transmission segment and for providing signal conditioning to the optical signals received from the terminal equipment so that the optical signals are suitable for transmission through the second undersea transmission segment. At least one first bypass optical transmission path is provided for selectively coupling refiectometry probe signals and backscattered and reflected signals located at a prescribed wavelength from the first interface device to the second interface device. At least one second bypass optical transmission path is provided for selectively coupling reflectometry probe signals and backscattered and reflected signals located at a prescribed wavelength from the second interface device to the first interface. The first interface device includes a first loopback path for selectively coupling the backscattered and reflected optical signals from a first optical transmission path located therein that receives the reflectometry probe signals from the second bypass path to a second optical transmission path located therein that couples the reflectometry probe signals to the first bypass path. The second interface device includes a second loopback path for selectively coupling the backscattered and reflected optical signals from a second optical transmission path located therein that receives the reflectometry probe signals from the first bypass path and a first optical transmission path located therein that receives the reflectometry probe signals from the second bypass path.

IPC: H02S30/20
Filed: 2006-06-16
Abstract: The invention provides a film of fluoropolymer having glass microspheres dispersed in said fluoropolymer. The addition of glass microspheres to the fluoropolymer can overcome the behaviour of the fluoropolymer to stick to itself in a stack or when wound on itself in a roll. Hence an additional intermediate sheet or like material is not needed. Additionally, it has been found that the glass microspheres can be used during normal manufacturing of fluoropolymer films by melt-extrusion and moreover, films can be obtained in which other desired properties of the fluoropolymer are not adversely affected or any adverse effects are minimal.

Abstract: A ductless HVAC system is controlled by light frequency signals, for example, in the infrared (IR) band. A repeater within the line-of-sight of the ductless HVAC system is used in concert with a remote thermostat. A user may operate the remote thermostat as desired, and the remote thermostat generates and broadcasts an RF signal stream responsive to the user-entry. This suitably encoded RF signal stream penetrates any wall or other opaque impediment to light frequency transmission and is received by the repeater, decoded by the repeater, re-encoded by the repeater into a signal suitable for driving an IR transmitter and broadcast as an IR beam to the receiver/interface.

Filed: 2008-01-21
Abstract: The invention provides co-solvents for preparing clear solutions of a biocidal agent known as 10, 10'-oxybisphenoxarsine (OBPA). The clear solutions are stable over a relatively broad range of temperatures and have very low Volatile Organic Carbon (VOC) content. They can be included in master batches for the manufacture of plastic materials, such as flexible PVC. The co-solvents of this invention have very low VOC values, do not have troublesome odors, do not cause significant irritation during the high temperature plastic manufacturing process, and are miscible in a range of useful concentrations with plasticizers presently employed by plastics manufacturers. The use of castor oil and/or modified castor oils such as glyceryl ricinoleate, dehydrated castor oil, and certain alkoxylated castor oils as a co-solvent to increase the dissolvable concentration of OBPA, alone or in solution with a plasticizer, was not known or expected.

Title: Sodium chloride solution for drug reconstitution or dilution
Inventor: WEBB CHANDRA A
IPC: A61K47/02
Filed: 2006-10-27
Abstract: The invention provides methods for preparing pharmaceutical formulations for injection such that upon injection the formulation does not cause erythrocyte agglutination, hemolysis, and/or cell shrinkage. To prevent agglutination, a pharmaceutical formulation ready for injection needs to have a sufficient ionic strength. To prevent hemolysis or cell shrinkage, a pharmaceutical formulation ready for injection needs to be about isotonic with respect to plasma. The invention provides methods that prepare pharmaceutical formulations for injection that have both the sufficient ionic strength to prevent agglutination and the requisite tonicity to prevent significant hemolysis or cell dehydration or shrinkage. The present methods involve the use of sodium chloride solutions that are about 25 mM to about 150 mM for reconstituting lyophilized cakes (or other non-liquid pharmaceutical formulations) into solution or for diluting pharmaceutical formulation solutions.
