Patent AU-1604088-A (AU)
Title: Connector employing mode field modification
Inventor: NOLAN DANIEL ALOYSIUS
IPC: G02B6/26
Filed: 1988-05-11
Abstract: Disclosed is a mode field modifier (40) for use with an optical fibre (54) having a core (56) and a cladding (58) of outside diameter d. The modifier comprises a modifier core (42) having a refractive index n1. Surrounding the modifier core is first cladding layer (44) having a refractive index n2 that is less than n1. On the surface of the first cladding layer is a second cladding layer (46) having a refractive index n3 which is less than n2. The modifier is tapered intermediate its ends whereby it has a large diameter end and a small diameter end. The diameters of at least the core and first cladding layer at the large diameter end are greater than the corresponding diameters at the small diameter end. The diameter D1 of the first cladding layer at the large diameter end is greater than d. An axially disposed hole (52) in the large diameter end receives a fiber (54) which is held in such alignment with the mode field modifier (40) that it is in light coupling relationship with the modifier core (42). The mode field of a signal coupled from the fiber to the mode field modifier expands as it propagates through the tapered portion of the modifier to the small diameter end. An in-line coupler between two optical fibers is effected by connecting together in axial alignment two such mode field modifiers with their small diameter ends adjacent one another.

Patent AU-3396097-A (AU)
Title: A method and system for communication access restriction
Inventor: HAMDY-SWINK KATHRYN ANNE
IPC: G06F21/31
Filed: 1997-06-18
Abstract: A network-based telecommunications system and method that restricts the dial-in access to a resource of a subscriber to only a communication from an authorized user of the resource. A switch receives a communication directed to a subscriber from a calling party. Prior to connecting the communication to the terminating equipment associated with the subscriber, the switch requests processing information. An authentication unit determines whether the calling party is an authorized user by checking whether a passcode provided by the calling party corresponds to a passcode being held by the authentication unit. If the passcode corresponds, then the authentication unit identifies the calling party as an authorized user, and the communication then may be connected to the terminating equipment of the subscriber. If the passcode fails to correspond, then the authentication unit fails to identify the calling party as an authorized user. The communication is not connected to the terminating equipment of the subscriber.

Title: Hydroxy content reduction in optical waveguides
Inventor: STAUDIGL RUDOLF
IPC: C03B37/014
Filed: 1984-10-24
Abstract: The inert or oxidizing auxiliary gases used in the manufacture of optical waveguides often contain traces of water which can be the cause of disruptive OH groups in the glass fiber. According to the invention, this disruption is overcome by reducing the hydroxyl content of optical waveguides by treating the auxiliary gases with heavy water (D2O), so as to replace the hydrogen atom in the OH groups with deuterium, and then subjecting the gases to a drying step. Preferably, the auxiliary gases are subjected to a preliminary drying prior to treatment with D2O.

Title: Distributed management communications network
Inventor: AUERBACH JOSHUA SETH
IPC: H04L12/56
Filed: 1993-05-06
Abstract: A multinode, multicast communications network has a distributed control for the creation, administration and operational mode selection operative in each of the nodes of the network. Each node is provided with a Set Manager for controlling either creation of, administration or access to a set of users to whom a multicast is to be directed. The Set Manager maintains a record of the local membership of all users associated with the node in which the Set Manager resides. A given Set Manager for each designated set of users is assigned the task of being the Set Leader to maintain membership information about the entire set of users in the multicast group. One of the Set Managers in the communications network is designated to be the Registrar which maintains a list of all the Set Leaders in the network. The Registrar insures that there is one and only one Set Leader for each set of users, answers inquiries about the membership of the sets and directs inquiries to appropriate Set Leaders if necessary. All of the set creation, administration and control functions can therefore be carried out by any node of the system and provision is made to assume the function at a new node when failure or partition in the network occurs. <IMAGE>
