Abstract: This invention relates to invention relates to a method for filtering and a variable slope
optical filter for in-line use with an optical amplifier signal. The filter has a wavelength
response that is substantially linear in slope within a band of operation wavelengths of the
amplifier; the slope of the filter in an operating band of wavelengths is between zero and
a only one of a positive or negative number, furthermore the filter has an amplitude
response that has an opposite and counter slope as a function of wavelength to that of a
gain tilt of the amplifier within the operation band of wavelengths. The filter having
means of operating on polarized light such that different wavelengths within a band of
wavelengths within the operation band are subject to different levels of attenuation
according to their polarization state. A wave plate having a predetermined thickness
provides a relative polarization difference between two wavelengths of in incoming beam
in a controlled manner. A polarizer receives light from the wave plate and only allows a
predetermined of light to pass therethrough unattenuated and variably attenuates or
substantially prevents and/or attenuates other predetermined polarizations of light to pass
therethrough.

Abstract: An improved oscillator circuit (100) increases the signal power of a
generated oscillating signal while decreasing phase noise. The circuit includes an
oscillating stage having an inductor (L 1 ) and capacitors (C 1 , C 2 ) for producing a periodic
oscillating signal and a first control signal (V 1 ). An active stage (Q) having a transistor
with a gate terminal, a source terminal and a drain terminal is connected to the tank
stage so that the first control signal is provided to the source terminal of the transistor.
A second control signal (V 3 ) is provided to the transistor gate terminal for increasing the
voltage applied to the gate terminal when the first control signal decreases the voltage
applied to the source terminal, thus controlling the activation of the transistor for
supplying signal boosting power to the tank stage.

Inventor: AGARWALA SANJIVE
IPC: G06F13/14

Abstract: The transfer controller with hub and ports employs a parallel
size calculation/write annulment decision. A default burst size
register (501) stores a default burst size for the port. An
address register (512) stores a next data address and initially
stores the data transfer start address. A transfer count register
(509) stores a transfer count of remaining data to be transferred
and initially stores the number of words of the data transfer. A
transfer size register (520) stores a data transfer size and
initially stores the default burst size. A first comparator (508)
determines the least of the default burst size and the transfer
count. A two's complement unit (502) forms a two's complement of
a number of least significant bits of said address store in said
address register corresponding to the default burst size. A second
comparator (506) determines the least of the two's complement and
the output of the first comparator. A third comparator (521)
enables data transfer at the next data address of the data transfer
size when the second comparator output equals the data transfer
size and annuls data transfer otherwise. This technique
facilitates the process of setting up complex transfers without
risking brute force inefficient processor cycles. Annulment
determination allows detection of cases when a set of data cannot
be output immediately and the destination pipeline postpones
execution of the write command.

Abstract: The invention relates to an arrangement for
electrically locking the steering shaft (2; 31) of a
motor vehicle, having a housing (4) and a first
electric motor (5) which is arranged in the housing and
has an actuator (6) connected downstream, for
displacing a blocking element (7; 36) which is arranged
so that it can be displaced from its unlocked position
into a locked position. 
     In order to achieve, firstly, short unlocking
times for the blocking element (7; 36) and, secondly, a
space-saving construction of the arrangement (1), the
invention proposes that the actuator (6) used be a
spindle drive, with a driver (11) with internal screw
thread (11) arranged on the threaded spindle (8), which
driver can be displaced in linear fashion, engages in
the screw thread (13) of the threaded spindle (8) and,
on its side which is remote from the threaded spindle
(8), has a seat (14) for the blocking element (7; 36).
Moreover, the arrangement (1) comprises an adapter part
(15) which is releasably connected to the housing (4),
can likewise be connected to the steering device and is
designed in such a manner that, in the event of the
steering shaft (2; 31) being twisted violently in the
locked position of the blocking element (7; 36), it
absorbs the forces acting on this element.

Abstract: When the male and female connector housings (10, 20) are being fitted,
locking arm and detent (31, 40) provided therein may be biased in the
circumferential direction. In such a case, the male and female connector
housings (10, 20) are rotated relative to each other in order to find a matching
position. The inventive connector housings include a positioning groove (44)
and a positioning rib (34). When they are brought together, the locking arm
and detent (31, 40) are fitted to each other. The male and female connector
housings (10, 20) are thus fixed at a predetermined position in the
circumferential direction. When the normal fixed state is attained, the locking
arm and detent (31, 40) are locked. As the locking arm and detent (31, 40)
comprise the positioning groove and rib (44, 34), it is no longer needed to
position the male and female connector housings (10, 20) through visual
checking.
