Abstract: The present invention is an optical monitoring and test access interconnection
module especially adapted for use with a fiber optic distribution frame for a fiber optic
communications system. The interconnection module provides a combination of
monitoring and test access for two fiber lines, typically a transmit/receive pair, where
wavelength division multiplexer (WDM) test access is provided to both the transmit and
receive fibers. In one embodiment of the present invention, the interconnection module
monitors only the receive fiber line where a power monitoring circuit receives a monitor
level optical signal via an optical tap and converts the optical signal to an electrical
output. Processing electronics and firmware within the module are operable to generate
alarms and other control signals when changes in the power level of the received signal
are detected. A test access path is provided on the module for use, for example, with an
optical time domain reflectometer (OTDR). In one embodiment of the present invention,
the interconnection module incorporates a unique physical design arrangement that
separates the optical signal processing from the electronic processing into partitioned
sub-modules. The optical and electronic sub-modules may advantageously be assembled
(and dis-assembled) by means of guides that allow the module halves to slide together.
A unique optical mating connector is provided in the sliding arrangement to join the
optical module to an opto-electronic photodetector in the electronic module.

Abstract: A clip and collected assembly thereof are provided and including a method
of forming the clip and clip assembly. The clip (12)
is formed with at least one slot (16)
that has at least one projection for keeping a resilient cord press fit in the slot
therein against forces tending to shift it out therefrom. Preferably, two parallel
slots (12) are provided for receiving two cords (14) therein
with there being two opposing
projections (58,60) extending into the slot (12) opening from
either side of the slot. The slot
projections (58,60) provide an attendant manufacturing
benefit as the punches (78) of the die
press apparatus that punch slugs from the blank fed thereto will not suffer from
slug pulling problems because of the presence of corresponding
projections (58,60)
extending into the die cavity openings from either side thereof.
In addition, while
the clearances between the projection of the die cavity and
the punches (78) are at
normal tight tolerances, the clearance between the
cavity sides (84,86) and ends and the
punches (78) are oversized so that burrs are formed on the
corresponding clip slot (16) sides
and ends for gripping the cord (14) and providing additional
resistance to shifting in the
slot. Improved configurations
for the cords (14) are also provided to meet the
tolerances required for the press fit in the slots (12) and to be readily severed by an
application tool (34). Special shapes for the slot ends can be provided so that as the
cords (14) are press fit therein,
areas of weakness will be created in the cords to assist
in the severing thereof. Preferred cord materials include those that will not bead
when run through spring tempering heat treat ovens, such as nylon and PBT.

Title: CDMA transmitter capable of reducing transmission power

IPC: H04J13/00
Filed: 1999-09-27
Abstract: In a CDMA transmitter operable in response to a plurality of input data signals to produce a transmission signal, a dummy symbol is generated by a dummy symbol generator to reduce a peak value of a synthesized signal obtained by subjecting the input data signals to spread spectrum modulation. The dummy symbol is attained by spreading the peak value by spread codes which are not used for the spread spectrum modulation and is subtracted from the synthesized signal to suppress the peak value. A level adjustment value is multiplied by a peak suppressed signal so as to compensate a variation of average power which might occur due to the dummy symbol. <IMAGE>
