Abstract: An optical coupler for use in fiber optics for splitting light
signals (11) into two or more portions (21,81) wherein the intensity of
the light on the outgoing optical fibers can be accurately controlled.
The optical coupler consists of a sending GRIN lens (12) and two or more
adjacent receiving GRIN lenses (22,23) wherein a portion of each
receiving GRIN lens has been removed and the receving GRIN lenses are
attached along a common border (50) formed by the removed portion of the
GRIN lenses. 
     The collinated end (14) of GRIN lens (12) is covered more by the
collimated end (24) of GRIN lens (22) than the collimated end (34) of
GRIN lens (32), therefore collimated light (18) enters GRIN lens (22)
than GRIN lens (32). The relative percentages of light spit off from the
incoming light signal (11) can thus be controlled simply and accurated
by moving the GRIN lens (12) to the border line (50) of the adjacent
GRIN lenses (22) and (32).

Abstract: The invention provides improved computer network firewalls which include one
or more features for increased processing efficiency. A firewall in accordance with the
invention can support multiple security policies, multiple users or both, by applying any
one of several distinct sets of access rules. The firewall can also be configured to utilize
"stateful" packet filtering which involves caching rule processing results for one or more
packets, and then utilizing the cached results to bypass rule processing for subsequent
similar packets. To facilitate passage to a user, by a firewall, of a separate later
transmission which is properly in response to an original transmission, a dependency mask
can be set based on session data items such as source host address, destination host
address, and type of service. The mask can be used to query a cache of active sessions
being processed by the firewall, such that a rule can be selected based on the number of
sessions that satisfy the query. Dynamic rules may be used in addition to pre-loaded
access rules in order to simplify rule processing. To unburden the firewall of application
proxies, the firewall can be enabled to redirect a network session to a separate server for
processing.

Abstract: A tool for transforming SGML documents using SGML architectures
determines to what class of element an element in a first document
belongs, from the first document type definition, by searching at least part
of the first document type definition for a qualifier to an element,
indicating an association with a definition of the class of element. It then
determines for that class, at least one corresponding element in the second
document type definition, and includes in the second document, an
instance of the corresponding element or elements. Interchange of
documents becomes easier because a single generic tool can be used for
transformation between many different types of documents.

IPC: G01S7/486
Filed: 1998-09-04
Abstract: During an optoelectronic measuring method, an emitting device sends a sequence of optical impulses during a measuring cycle. A receiving device is provided for receiving reflected signals from a target located in the beam path of the emitting device. Said receiving device amplifies received signals in a signal processing step. The signals are eventually converted and digitized, whereby the individual samples of a digitized received signal are filed in cells of an electronic memory and the samples of other digitized received signals are added in a cophasal manner in these memory cells or with a defined phase displacement with regard to the emitter impulse. The emitted impulse sequences are divided into a plurality of impulse packets or so called "bursts". These bursts are separated by impulse absorption. A received impulse assigned to a target is detected in an electronic computer by means of defined algorithms which are each from the discrete-time, digitized and added received signals of the impulse of every burst. In addition, a distance value is calculated in said electronic computer from the running time of this reconstructed received impulse with regard to a pertaining start impulse. At the end of a measuring cycle, a velocity value for a target is calculated, produced and/or displayed from the plurality of distance values and the assigned measuring times.

Abstract: A recording layer and a flux adjustment layer have
different magnetic polarities so that their magnetizations
are countervailed at room temperature, with the result that
a weakened leakage magnetic flux is released therefrom. A
reproducing layer, a reproducing assist layer and an inplane
magnetization layer exhibit in-plane magnetization at
room temperature. In a first temperature area having a
temperature not more than the critical temperature of the
reproducing layer, the reproducing layer 1 exhibits in-plane
magnetization so that magnetization of a recording magnetic
domain is not copied to the reproducing layer. In contrast,
a second temperature area having a temperature rise between
the critical temperature and the Curie temperature of the
reproducing layer, the flux adjustment layer and the in-plane
magnetization layer have reached their Curie
temperatures and lost their magnetization; thus, a leakage
magnetic flux generated by the magnetization of the
recording magnetic domain is copied to the reproducing
assist layer that is in a perpendicular magnetization state,
and further copied to the reproducing layer. Moreover, in
a third temperature area having a temperature rise exceeding
the Curie temperature of the reproducing layer, the
reproducing layer has lost its magnetization.
