Patent EP-1157584-A1 (EP)
Inventor: HALLOCK ROBERT
IPC: H04Q11/00
Filed: 2000-08-23
Abstract: La présente invention concerne un réseau de composants optiques présentant sensiblement les mêmes pertes en voie pour chaque canal acheminé dans un noeud de commutation dans une configuration de réinsertion que pour les canaux de contournement. Une entrée de réseau à plusieurs canaux optiques est couplée à une première entrée de noeud. Dès lors, une seule transition fibre-faisceau-fibre suffit à l'obtention d'un faible niveau de perte en transmission dans un noeud de commutation. Cette faible perte en transmission s'additionne aux autres pertes du réseau de façon que le trajet de contournement conserve une perte d'insertion restant dans limites des 3 dB. Dans une configuration particulière, un réseau d'acheminement à trois noeuds de commutation est compensé en pertes en fonction du trajet de contournement. Selon un autre mode de réalisation, un barreau filtrant multicanal dans le trajet de contournement permet d'améliorer la suppression du signal résiduel lorsqu'un noeud est basculé en configuration d'adjonction-insertion.

Abstract: A semiconductor tunable laser (10) and an interferometer (12) coupled to the tunable laser (10) are monolithically fabricated in a semiconductor heterostructure. The laser also comprises a buried ridge stripe waveguide laser. The interferometer (12) has a semiconductor optical amplifier (38) coupled in each arm. A cross-gain semiconductor optical amplifier converter is coupled to the interferometer (12). The semiconductor optical amplifier (38) coupled in each arm is biased so that an optical path length difference between the two arms is in antiphase which results in destructive interference. The output of the tunable laser (10) is coupled to a coupler. A semiconductor optical amplifier (38) is used as a gain controller for the semiconductor optical amplifiers in the interferometer (12) to allow wavelength conversion over a larger range of input signal powers. The heterostructure substrate comprises a low bandgap waveguide layer and thinner multi-quantum well active regions disposed above the low bandgap waveguide layer. The heterostructure substrate has nonabsorbing passive elements formed therein by selectively removing the quantum wells regions above the waveguide layer to allow formation of active and passive sections in the waveguide layer without having to perform a butt joint regrowth. The invention is also characterized as a method of fabricating an integrated optical device as disclosed above in the heterostructure substrate.

Title: Method for operating an internal combustion engine comprising at least one working piston
Inventor: STIEBELS BERND
IPC: F02D13/02
Filed: 2000-09-22
Abstract: The invention relates to a method for operating an internal combustion engine which comprises at least one working piston and which has a variable compression ratio that can be altered according to the operational state of the internal combustion engine, whereby an excessive compression ratio is determined by a knock sensor in order to reduce the compression ratio to a level that is lower than the knock limit, and whereby the compression ratio can be subsequently increased again. The invention provides that the compression ratio (V) is reduced by a first value (V1), which can be predetermined according to the operational state, over a predeterminable first period of time (t1-t0) when the knock limit (L) is exceeded or reached. In addition, the compression ratio (V) is subsequently increased by a predeterminable second value (V2) over a predeterminable second period of time (t2-t1) until the knock limit (L) is reached or exceeded.

Abstract: La présente invention concerne un dispositif pour verres de lunettes qui comprend une monture (20) pour verres de lunettes principale et une monture(10) pour verres de lunettes auxiliaire, chacune contenant des lentilles. La monture (20) principale comprend un pont (25) et des branches connectées à des extensions (21) situées de chaque côté de la monture. Le pont peut être fabriqué dans un alliage souple à mémoire de forme tel que NiTi ou CuAlBe. Les extensions (21) possèdent des aimants montés sur leur face inférieure. La monture auxiliaire (10) comprend également un pont (13) et des extensions (11) temporales. Ces extensions de la monture auxiliaire possèdent des aimants montés sur leur partie supérieure. Ces aimants entrent en contact magnétique entre eux de façon à connecter la monture auxiliaire à la monture principale. Les ponts souples des montures principale et auxiliaire permettent d'éviter que la monture auxiliaire se désolidarise de la monture principale en cas de mouvements incontrôlés du porteur de ces montures, car ces ponts peuvent supporter une légère déformation.

Abstract: The liquid crystal cell (1) comprises a diffraction grating (10) formed on one face (7) of a liquid crystal layer (2) in the form of parallel strips (11,12) separated by intervals (13,14) containing the liquid crystal in a chamber whose opposite faces (7,8) are defined by two substrates (3,4) equipped with transparent electrodes (5,6). The liquid crystal is birefringent, that is presents the ordinary and the extraordinary indices of refraction according to the direction of axis. <??>The strips (11,12) are made of a transparent isotropic material having a refraction index substantially equal to one of the refraction indices of the liquid crystal. The material of the strips (11,12) is a polymer, in particular a photopolymer, and the strips are formed by etching a layer of photopolymer. The cell is switchable between two states, excited and non-excited. The excited state is obtained by applying an electric voltage to the electrodes (5,6) sufficient to orientate the liquid crystal axis parallel to the beam of light (21) when the liquid crystal presents the extraordinary index of refraction. In the non-excited state the liquid crystal axis is aligned with the strips (11,12) and the liquid crystal presents the ordinary index of refraction which is substantially equal to the refraction index of the material of the strips. The cell can be used for optical beam splitting by selectively applying a voltage to the electrodes of the cell. In the second embodiment, the liquid crystal cell comprises a second diffraction grating different from the first and formed on the other face (8) of the liquid crystal layer in the form of parallel strips separated by liquid crystal intervals. The strips are made of a transparent optically isotropic material having an index of refraction substantially equal to the other of two indices of refraction, that is the extraordinary index. The geometry of the second grating is different from that of the first grating. The liquid crystal is of nematic type, and the electrodes (5,6) are extended over the total surface of the useful region of the cell.
