object beam emitted from the optical fiber (23) is then
caused to enter a photo-refractive polymer layer (6).
On the other hand, a reference beam divided by the light

polymer layer (6) from the opposite side. In
this manner, the object beam is superimposed on the
reference beam in the photo-refractive polymer layer (6)

to the strength of light intensity. The interference
pattern is recorded on the photo-refractive polymer
layer (6) as a diffraction grating (4). This
diffraction grating (4) exhibits a specific
characteristic to emit the object beam emitted from the
optical fiber (23) in the direction of the reference
beam, namely parallel to an optical axis of the optical
fiber (23).

Abstract: The invention relates to a composite structure consisting of a relatively long filtration bar comprising, from the outside, an ultra-thin layer ( 26 ) that is selectively permeable to hydrogen and made from palladium or silver alloy. Said layer is disposed on a permeable, rigid, refractory substrate consisting of a more or less solid body ( 30 ) that is covered with an intermediary thin layer ( 28 ) having a relatively smooth surface. The body ( 30 ) and the intermediary layer ( 28 ) are made respectively by sintering with fine and ultra-fine Inconel grains. A rigid metallic axial structure ( 32 ) is embedded in the body ( 30 ). Veinlets ( 31 ), which are made in the body ( 30 ) through the destruction of thermo-destructible wires during sintering, increase the permeability of the substrate. The invention is particularly applicable to hydrogen-producing combustible gas processors.

Abstract: The present invention is related to a medium access control (MAC) protocol for avoiding collisions among stations when two or more overlapping basic service sets (OBSSs) co-exist and operate in the same channel. To achieve this, each mobile station operating under a hybrid coordination function (HCF) maintains a first counter known as Network Allocation Vector (NAV) and a second counter known as Overlapping Network Allocation Vector (ONAV), which is updated within a mobile station by frames coming from OBSSs, during the Contention Free Period (CFP) or during a Contention Free Burst (CFB) granted by a polling frame. The mobile station uses the NAV to update only to the medium occupancy in its own BSS to ensure that the mobile station will not interfere with the transmissions in its own QBSS, while the ONAV is used to avoid collisions with the mobile stations from the OBSS.

Abstract: Power is conserved in a Global Positioning System (GPS) receiver by shutting down selected components during periods when the GPS receiver is not actively calculating the GPS receiver location. A low power time keeping circuit accurately preserves GPS time when the selected components are deactivated. When the selected components are turned on in response to a wake-up command, time provided from the low power time keeping circuit, corrected for actual operating temperatures, and data from the GPS clock temperature/frequency table, are used to recalibrate time from a GPS oscillator. Positions of the GPS satellites are then estimated such that the real GPS time is quickly determined from the received satellite signals. Once real GPS time is determined from the detected satellite signals, the selected components are deactivated. The process described above is repeated such that accurate GPS time is maintained by the low power time keeping circuit.

Abstract: An attachable pad, which is produced by blending polymeric binders with hard particles
is manufactured in a mould whose shape is that which mirrors a railway track. 
     Attaching these pads to the railway track using mechanical or chemical fixing, reduces
the vibration of the track as a train passes over, which in turn reduces the incident noise
pollution. The pads can be different heights to allow maintenance work on the track
without removing the pads. 
     To further reduce the noise pollution, the pads can be porous which acts as a sound
absorber, thus the combination of vibration and sound attenuation gives better results than
theory suggests.
