Title: Segmented complex fiber gratings
Inventor: MOSSBERG THOMAS
IPC: G02B5/18
Filed: 1999-06-18
Abstract: Segmented waveguide gratings are disclosed that include a plurality of grating segments or "subgratings" (1-8). The subgrating (1-8) are defined by periodic variations in an optical property of the waveguide, such as index of refraction or transmittance. A spectral transfer function of the segmented waveguide grating is defined by the subgratings, and the subgratings (1-8) can be selected to produce a cross-correlation of an optical input with a reference optical waveform, a specified temporal waveform, or a selected filtering function. The waveguide structures can be optical fibers, and the waveguide structures can be used as multiplexers/demultiplexers in optical communication systems. Methods for fabricating such segmented waveguides are disclosed.

Title: Solid combustible element for disintegrating a combustion deposit layer and method for producing such an element
Inventor: LEFEVRE CHRISTOPHE
IPC: C10L10/06
Filed: 2001-03-29
Abstract: This invention relates to a solid combustible element and a method for manufacturing it, whereby in the element an open or closed internal space is provided, and in this space is placed a chemical product for disintegrating a combustion deposit layer. When burning this element in a combustion device, such as e.g. a hearth or a stove, the product is released so that a combustion deposit layer (e. g. consisting of soot, ash and tar) formed on the walls of the combustion device or the smoke flue is disintegrated. The element is preferably formed by compressing an amount of loose particles of one or several solid combustible materials, such as among others wood waste and sawdust, without adding any binding agent.      Such an element can be manufactured at lower raw material and production costs than the known elements in which such a product is incorporated.

Title: Device for preventing uncontrolled acceleration of an elevator car installed in an elevator installation
Inventor: WATZKE FRANZ
IPC: B66B5/04
Filed: 2000-02-09
Abstract: The invention relates to a device for preventing uncontrolled acceleration of an elevator car (1) installed in an elevator installation. The inventive device comprises a limiting cable (18) which is guided over rollers (19, 20) in a direction of movement of the elevator car (1). A  braking device (6) joined to the elevator car (1) is connected to the limiting cable (18) via a release (7) and brakes the elevator car (1) in both a downward and upward direction when the limiting cable (18) transmits a predetermined release force to the release (7). A speed limiter (27) is connected to one of the rollers (19) and stops the roller (19) when the traveling speed of the elevator car (1) exceeds a predetermined limiting speed either in a downward or upward direction. According to the invention, the release (7) of the braking device (6) is connected via a slide connection (30) to the limiting cable (18) for limiting the force transmitted to the release (7) so that the limiting cable (18) slides through on said slide connection (30) when a force which is significantly larger than the release force required for releasing the braking device (6) is transmitted from the limiting cable (18) to the release (7) of the braking device (6).

IPC: G06Q20/28
Filed: 2000-02-18
Abstract: A credit card system is provided which has the added feature of providing additional limited use credit card numbers and/or cards. These numbers and/or cards can be used for a single or limited use transaction, thereby reducing the potential for fraudulent reuse of these numbers and/or cards. The credit card system finds application to "card remote" transactions such as by phone or Internet. Additionally, when a single use or limited use credit card is used for "card present" transactions, so called "skimming" fraud is eliminated. Various other features enhance the credit card system which will allow secure trade without the use of elaborate encryption techniques. Methods for limiting, distributing and using a limited use card nubmer, controlling the validity of a limited use credit card number, conducting a limited used credit card number transaction and providing remote access devices for accessing a limited use credit card number are also provided.

Title: Method and apparatus for maximizing the use of available capacity in a communication system
Inventor: TIEDEMANN EDWARD G JR
IPC: H04W52/50
Filed: 2000-03-06
Abstract: A method and apparatus for maximizing the use of available capacity in a communication system having a base station and a plurality of mobile stations.  The forward link in the mobile radio system includes a plurality of traffic streams sent on at least one channel from the base station to the mobile stations. The forward link is subject to a maximum power ceiling. A first output power level associated with simultaneously transmitting a first set of one or more traffic streams from the base station to the mobile stations on the forward link is initially determined. Next, the first output power level is compared to the maximum power ceiling. In response to the comparing step, at least one time frame in the forward link having available capacity for transmitting a portion of at least one further traffic stream is identified.  The first set of traffic streams and the portion of the at least one further traffic stream are then transmitted simultaneously during the at least one frame on the forward link.
