Patent CA-2474664-A1 (CA)
Title: Optical amplifier controller having adjustable slew-rate limiter
Inventor: DONALDSON CHARLES JOHN
IPC: H01S3/067
Filed: 2003-01-28
Abstract: A method and apparatus is provided for controlling the optical output power from an optical amplifier arrangement. The arrangement includes a rare-earth doped fiber for imparting gain to an optical input signal propagating therethrough, a pump source for supplying pump power to the rare-earth doped fiber, and a tap for receiving a portion of the output power generated by the rare-earth doped fiber and converting it to a control signal. A controller is also provided for receiving the control signal and generating a bias current in response thereto for driving the pump source. The method begins by receiving an optical input signal that is being amplitude modulated at a prescribed frequency. The slew-rate of the controller is adjusted so that the bias current drives the pump source to generate pump power that cannot vary at a rate greater than a slew-rate limit established by the controller. In this way resonance between the input signal and the frequency of the feedback control loop can be avoided.

Title: System and method for web-based procurement
Inventor: HANSEN JON WILLIAM
IPC: G06Q30/08
Filed: 2004-08-31
Abstract: The invention relates to the field of business-to-business (B2B) commerce and in particular to a real-time, computer implemented system and method for conducting a reverse auction for procuring maintenance, repair and operations components over the Internet. Integral to the present invention is a Reverse Auction Module (RAM) which is a web-based system that allows buyers or sourcing agents (SA) to electronically solicit a group of remotely situated potential suppliers to bid on a requirement. Those suppliers that respond before bid closing will have their bids evaluated by the system against multiple criteria. The system then presents the SA with the results of the evaluation. The SA or buyer is able to accept the recommendation or override the recommendation and create a proposal based on the bid information from one of the suppliers. The proposal is then given to the customer. If the customer accepts the proposal by providing a purchase order then the SA can award the opportunity to the winning supplier and create a purchase order to buy the item. Additionally, the system verifies that the price and terms offered are consistent with those that are generally available from suppliers that are not registered with the system.

Title: Method, system and telecommunication node for alternative prepaid support
Inventor: MORIN STEPHANE
IPC: H04M17/00
Filed: 2003-09-04
Abstract: A method and system for providing alternative prepaid service when a serving Packet Data Service Node (PDSN) does not support prepaid or at least the type of prepaid the user has subscribed to. The serving PDSN sends an access request to a Home Authorization, Authentication & Accounting Prepaid Server (HAAA/PPS) with an indication of its capability to support prepaid service and to terminate sessions based on requests from remote nodes. When the serving PDSN is neither capable of prepaid service, nor does it support session termination by a remote node, the HAAA/PPS determines that a prepaid session is allowed and supported in combination with a Home Agent (HA) for duration-based prepaid service. When the PDSN is not prepaid capable but supports session termination capability, the HAAA/PPS determines that any type of prepaid service can be allowed and supported by the HAAA/PPS in combination with the HA.
