Title: Mems optical switch and method of manufacture
Inventor: COUILLARD JAMES G
IPC: G02B6/35
Filed: 2000-11-14
Abstract: An optical switch (20) on a planar optical circuit substrate (30) includes a  cantilevered arm (40) having a control element (32) selectively movable into  a waveguide slot (12) of the substrate for switching optical signals carried b y the waveguide (24). The arm (40) can be actuated by thermal or Piezoelectric  actuators to deflect between a rest position allowing a signal to continue along waveguide (24) and a second position with the control element (32) in slot (12) for blocking or changing direction of the signal. A second arm may  be provided which moves laterally and is actuated in sequence with cantilevered arm (40) for overlying and latching cantilevered arm (40) in th e second position, thus the switch can remain in an active state without furth er application of control signals. Arrays of MEMS switches formed on a single wafer by etching are bonded to arrays of waveguides to provide multiple swit ch modules.

Patent CA-2398009-A1 (CA)
Inventor: ENGEL THOMAS
IPC: H04L12/70
Filed: 2001-01-09
Abstract: According to the invention, in order to control the access of traffic streams (VS) to the communications network (KN), an available capacity (VK), placed at the disposal of an access node (ZK) for transferring traffic streams (VS) to said communications network (KN), is determined from an access node (ZK) of the communications network (KN), taking into account the total transfer capacity (G) of the communications network (KN). The available capacity (VS) is notably redetermined whenever the routing information (RI) of the access node (ZK) is modified. An access control of this type guarantees the quality of service required in a connectionless communications network.

Patent CA-2422648-A1 (CA)
Inventor: BRUNTZ JORDAN S
IPC: D06F34/28
Filed: 2003-03-20
Abstract: A control system for a clothes dryer includes a control circuit adapted to set the amount of power sent to a main heater of the dryer during various cycles of operation. The control circuit automatically controls the maximum temperature reached in a particular dryer cycle through the use of a thermostat that switches the main heater from a full power setting to a low power setting when the temperature in the dryer reaches a certain maximum preset temperature. By providing low power, rather than no power as the thermostat trips at its preset high temperature, the total drying time required to dry articles of clothing within the dryer is reduced.
