Title: Method and apparatus for an optical filter
Inventor: MALUF NADIM
IPC: G02B6/28
Filed: 2002-02-08
Abstract: An optical device that can be used in a range of telecommunications applications including optical multiplexers/demultiplexers, optical routers and optical gain scalers. The optical device splits and combines optical signals of frequency division multiplexed optical communication channels which are evenly spaced apart in frequency from one another. In a embodiment of the invention the optical device includes a first and a second filter. The first filter splits and combines odd and even channels depending on the propagation direction of the optical signal. The first filter exhibits complementary phase retardations corresponding with odd integer multiples of half a wavelength for each center wavelength associated with a selected one of the odd and even set of channels and with integer multiples of a full wavelength for each center wavelength associated with a remaining one of the odd set and the even set.  The second filter couples with the first filter to filter the odd and even sets of channels with phase retardations complementary to those experienced by the odd and even set of channels in the first filter. This complementary filtration has the effect of reducing dispersion in the device. In an alternate embodiment of the invention a modular optical filter is disclosed with two or more couplers with a pair of delay paths between each pair of couplers in a sequence to generate a range of optical filter functions. The desired filter profile/function is obtained by proper selection of the coupling ratio for each coupler and by the length of each pair of delay paths.  The couplers may be implemented aspolarization or intensity beam splitters. In an embodiment of the invention the filter may be passively thermally stabilized.

Inventor: BLOOM GREGG
IPC: G06Q20/00
Filed: 2002-03-15
Abstract: An automated system of storage locker bins to efficiently provide the storage and self-service retrieval of articles. The articles can be packages and the automated system of storage locker bins can be used effectively in a package delivery process in which packages are transported in bulk to a destination centralized pickup location for recipients. The automated system of storage locker bins can be utilized to receive and store the bulk delivered packages as they can be loaded randomly into the automated system of storage locker bins, reducing the time and effort required by the package shipper to deliver the packages. The automated system of storage locker bins can operate at a high level of efficiency with regard to space utilization to further reduce storage costs and ultimately reduce delivery costs by employing moving and stationary bins to allow recipients to retrieve packages stored at heights above the reach of those recipients and bins which are configurable in size to allow storage locker bins to be adjusted to sizes more closely approximating the size of the articles or packages to be loaded into them. The automated system of storage locker bins can further reduce the cost of the package delivery effort by employing a notification function to automatically notify recipients of the bulk delivered packages following their being loaded into the bins of the automated system and by enabling recipients to perform self-service retrieval of their articles or packages. The automated system of storage locker bins can enable self-service retrieval following an authentication of the recipient by providing recipients the location of the storage machine unit containing their package and a temporary access code to retrieve their package.

Abstract: A drop-fill assembly and method for uniformly distributing electrode active particles onto a current collector is described. The drop-fill assembly comprises a conduit containing two or more spaced apart sifting screens. A funnel is located upstream of the sifting screens to distribute an electrode active powder into the center of the conduit with a downward velocity. The mesh of any one sifting screen is out of direct alignment with respect to the next or previous screen. The electrode active powder is poured into the funnel and distributed across the conduit's cross-section as it bounces off and passes through the misaligned sifting screens. The powder exits at the bottom of the conduit lying in a thin, uniform layer on a current collector, taking on the shape of the desired electrode due to the boundary of the conduit and pressing fixtures located above and beneath the current collector. The powder layer is then pressed on to the current collector to produce an electrode.

Abstract: A weight-actuated vacuum pump and shock absorber for an artificial limb.  Ambulation causes the vacuum pump, under the influence of the wearer's body weight, to draw air out of the artificial limb socket cavity, producing a vacuum within the socket. The vacuum pulls the residual limb into firm and total contact with the socket and prevents the loss of fluids in the residual limb. A shock absorber acts in conjunction with the vacuum pump to reduce the shock of impact on the wearer caused by ambulation.
