Title: Blockless fiber optic attenuators and attenuation systems employing dispersion tailored polymers
Inventor: MCCALLION KEVIN J
IPC: C11D7/12
Filed: 1999-08-23
Abstract: Controllable fiber optic attenuators (100) and attenuation systems are disclosed for controllably extracting optical energy from a fiber optic (30), and therefore attenuating the optical signal being transmitted through the fiber optic. In one aspect, material is removed from a portion of the fiber optic (30), thereby exposing a surface through which optical energy can be extracted. The portion of the fiber (30) is suspended between two support points, and a controllable material (160) is formed over the surface for controllably extracting optical energy according to a changeable stimulus applied thereto, which affects the refractive index thereof. In one embodiment, the changeable stimulus is temperature, and a controllable heating/cooling source (170) can be provided in the attenuator for control of the attenuation. The limited amount of thermal contact between the suspended, side-polished portion of the fiber optic (30) and the controllable material (160) to surrounding structures offers a more predictable response, and improved response time. The controllable material (160), in one embodiment, may be a dispersion controlled (e.g., matched) polymer, offering uniform spectral characteristics of attenuation across a wavelength band of interest.

Title: An image processing and manipulation system
Inventor: BUHR JOHN DOUGLAS
IPC: G03B27/46
Filed: 2001-05-01
Abstract: An image processing and manipulation system provides a user the opportunity to customize images exposed on dry process photosensitive film. That is, the system of the present invention permits a user to choose a particular look that is to be associated with exposed images on photosensitive film. The looks can be, but are not limited to, for example, accurate color reproduction, portraiture, brilliant color, black and white, etc. Therefore, with the system of the present invention, a customer is presented with the option of choosing a photographic appearance and or look that the customer desires for planned images. In the system and method of the present invention, an order based on a photographic film selected by the customer and a selected appearance characteristic is associated with the images exposed on the film. A code is assigned to at least a sample of the selected film and/or the order. At a photofinishing site, the film is developed to produce the images captured by the user, and scanned to produce a digital record of the captured images. The digital record is thereafter digitally processed based on the user selected appearance characteristic to produce processed images that reflect the user selected appearance characteristic.

Title: Electromagnetic wheel
Inventor: PALMA FLORENCIO NETO
IPC: H02K7/14
Filed: 2001-05-09
Abstract: The apparatus according to the present invention comprises three independent complementary brush-less variable speed electric motor generators having a common stator with three radial and lateral electromagnets, which are interfaced to a complementary rotor with permanent magnets installed within a magnetic field containment frame as a means provide a virtual self-centering electromagnetic bearing for the power ON mode of operation. A pair of radial and lateral roller bearings provides support for the wheel in the power OFF mode of operation. Two sealing rings between the stator and rotor, and an "O" ring in the outer rim of the rotor covers form a watertight assembly. The rotor forms a tire rim that adapts to conventional tubeless tires fitted with a flat and blowout proof multi closed cell assembly and a tire compression rim to facilitate tire exchange. A conventional hydraulic foot operated drum brake like system, which is manually and electrically interfaced, in addition of electromagnetic braking by automatic computer control, is adapted to the front-side of the rotor and stator. An integral stator rear heat sink is cooled by forced air induced by slanted vanes in the rear rotor-cover, to provide a heat pump for the electromagnets by thermal conduction. A decorative cover is installed over the stator assembly, which is interfaced to a stationary mounting plate in the vehicle, having threaded stud bolts matching the drillings in the stator.

Abstract: A chlorophyll-rich and salt-resistant chlorella which contains a large amoun t of chlorophyll. When used as a feed for rotifers in pisciculture, the chlorella makes it possible to provide fishes with relieved contamination wi th environmental contaminants such as dioxin having been concentrated by the fo od chain from seawater. Further, it survives over a long time in seawater and, therefore, is suitable for feeds for sea surface fish cultivation, fishery feeds, etc. This chlorophyll-rich and salt-resistant chlorella mutant, which  can grow in a medium containing 1 % by weight or more of sodium chloride and  contains chlorophyll at a high concentration (i.e., 4 % or more in total on the basis of dry matter), can be constructed by mutagenizing chlorella by repeatedly UV-irradiating and treating with a mutagen such as a methanesulfonic acid ester or acriflavine.

Abstract: A customer-based and customer-initiated electronic content presentment, response and analysis system is configured to allow customer to trigger the delivery of content such as statements, bills, invoices, advertisements and newsletters in electronic form. On the content receiver side, the system provides functionalities to schedule when to poll electronic contents from content providers, to inform arrival of electronic contents, to manage unpaid bills/invoices, to alert customer when a payment due date is approaching, to let customer to pay bills/invoices electronically, and to analyze statistics of bills/invoices and expenses. Also, all of the electronic contents are stored electronically in the content receiver's computing peripheral for future reference and analysis. The content receiver system also contains a capability to archive and retrieve contents. On the content provider side, it contains an interface to allow content receiver's system to extract his/her contents electronically. In order to minimize the transmission of data and maximize the security of the transmission, only encrypted dynamic data will be transmitted. When the content receiver receives the encrypted dynamic data, the data must be decrypted and combined with a static template in order to show the complete electronic content. On top of the content receiver and content provider sides, there is one more entity that allows content receivers to select their content providers to be used in their system. This selection is used to configure the content receiver's system to include the selected content provider and to obtain the content provider's static template.

Title: Process and device for accelerating the destruction of at least two vortexes in the slipstream of a moving object, especially an airplane
Inventor: CORJON ALEXANDRE
IPC: B64C23/06
Filed: 2002-02-05
Abstract: The device accelerates the destruction of contra-rotating vortices (5A,5B) formed in the rear of the aircraft wings (3A,3b) by the fusion of two co-rotating vortices (7A,8A,7B,8B).

Title: The use of microfluidic systems in the detection of target analytes using microsphere arrays
Inventor: STUELPNAGEL JOHN R
IPC: B01L3/00
Filed: 2000-05-22
Abstract: The invention relates generally to methods and apparatus for conducting analyses, particularly microfluidic devices for the detection of target analytes. The detection module of the microfluidic devices described herein are based on previous work comprising a bead-based analytic chemistry system in which beads, also termed microspheres, carrying chemistry chemical functionalities are distributed on an array substrate comprising a patterned surface od discrete sites that can bind the individual micropheres. The beads are generally put onto the substrate randomly, and thus several different methodologies can be used to "decode" the arrays. In one embodiment, unique optical signatures are incorpored into the beads, generally fluorescent dyes, that could be used to identify the chemical functionality on any particular bead. This allows the synthesis of the candidate agents (i.e. compounds such as nucleic acids and antibodies) to be divorced from their placement on an array, i.e.  the candidate agents may be synthesized on the beads, and then the beads are randomly distributed on a patterned surface.
