Title: Eye measurement of optical signals by optical sampling
Inventor: ROBERTS KIM BYRON
IPC: H04L1/20
Filed: 1997-11-25
Abstract: A pulsed optical signal (13) of a network is monitored to obtain eye measurement data as an indication of signal degradation. Optical sampling of the optical signal is effected by means of an interferometer (2) in which sampling optical pulses (8). having a duration short compared with that of the signal pulses (13), are propagated equally through arms (3) and (4) of the interferometer which include semiconductor optical amplifiers. The optical signal to be monitored (13) is counter propagated through one arm of the interferometer, thereby setting an interference condition of the interferometer by cross modulation in one of the semiconductor optical amplifiers. The sampled output signals (10) are detected and converted to electrical signals which are processed to obtain the eye measurement data. Parameters defining the quality of the eye are extracted and processed to locate defects occurring within a network and to control network elements by deploying eye monitors at a number of locations.

Title: Electrically controllable optical attenuator
Inventor: DAY STEPHEN
IPC: G02F1/01
Filed: 1998-03-06
Abstract: A known form of electrically controlled optical attenuator is formed by a Mach Zehnder waveguide configuration with a variable refractive index element in one arm to modify the undulatory spectral characteristic of the network to give a specific attenuation at a specific wavelength. The spectral characteristic of the network makes the attenuation that it provides wavelength dependent. An attenuator with a wavelength dependence of reduced magnitude is provided by the series combination of two Mach Zehnder networks 30a and 30b, one having an electrically controllable optical path length adjuster (which may be constituted by electrical heating elements) in its longer interference arm, and the other with its adjuster in its shorter arm. The Mach Zehnder networks contain 3dB couplers 33a, 36a, 33b, and 36b.

Patent GB-2330188-A (GB)
Title: Anti-backlash gear
Inventor: LONG CHARLES E
IPC: F16H57/022
Filed: 1998-05-07
Abstract: In an anti-backlash gear comprising two engaging gear wheels 60, 70 with a spring bias 81 for relatively rotating the gear wheels about a common centre 54, the circular width (T70, Fig 8A) of the teeth 76 of one gear wheel 70 is greater than the circular width (T60) of the teeth 66 of the other gear wheel 60 to cause loading in excess of the spring bias 81 to be shifted to the one gear wheel 70 so as to reduce reverse bending loads. The spring bias 81 provides a maximum torque of at least 100 foot-pounds so as to reduce noise. The two gear wheels 60, 70 may be adjustably rotated relative to each other by a threaded stem 90 coupled to the one gear wheel 70 and having a head 94 bearing against the other gear wheel 60 in opposition to the spring bias 81. Alternatively, the two gear wheels may have respective inclined splines (561,571, Fig 10) which engage each other about a common rotational axis for rotating the two gear wheels relative to each other. The gear is assembled in a gear train by establishing a first mesh (48, Fig 1) between it and a gear (42) and then adjusting the position of a third gear (100) relative to it by an adjusting mechanism (120) to form a second mesh (96).

Title: Clock pulse generator for LCD
Inventor: CAIRNS GRAHAM ANDREW
IPC: G09G3/36
Filed: 1998-10-27
Abstract: A clock pulse generator comprises N stages which provide pulse outputs successively on lines Nn,Pp. The clock input CK to each stage 1,2 is gated by a transmission gate M3,M4, M9,M10 under control of the output A,D of the preceding stage to pass a clock pulse to the output Nn,Pp of the stage. When the transmission gate of a stage is enabled by the previous stage and the clock signal is then asserted, the control circuit M5,M6,M11,M12 of the stage is asserted to activate the following stage. The control circuit is subsequently disasserted by the control circuit of the next-but-one stage. Gating of the clock reduces loading of the clock line. A two-phase clock may be used. Overlapping and non-overlapping outputs may be obtained.

Title: Method and device for the production of hollow bodies of thermoplastic materials
IPC: B29C49/00
Filed: 1974-05-13
Abstract: A cylindrical, synthetic plastic container having reinforcing hoops permanently bonded around the ends of the container is manufactured in a single blow molding process. Half of the outer peripheral edge portion of each of two reinforcing hoops is positioned in a semi-cylindrical mold half to place the hoops in spaced, parallel, co-axial alignment. Thereafter, a tube of soft thermoplastic is extruded through the open central portions of the hoops until the end of the tube overlies a co-axially positioned pneumatic nozzle. The semi-cylindrical mold half with the hoops retained therein is moved into engagement with a mating, semi-cylindrical mold half to form a cylindrical mold. End plates are moved into engagement with the hoops from opposite ends of the cylindrical mold; and air under pressure is admitted through the nozzlel to blow the walls of the tube of soft thermoplastic against the interior walls of the mold, the end plates and exposed circumferential portions of the reinforcing hoops to form a homogeneous bond with the hoops.
