Inventor: SMITH IAN S
IPC: G01J3/36
Filed: 2005-02-02
Abstract: An optical mode noise averaging device (300) including a multimode optical fiber (302) and means (308) for averaging a modal noise induced signal level variation of light propagating within the multimode optical fiber (302). The device may average modal noise induced signal level variations by cyclically varying an index of refraction of the multimode optical fiber (302) over a select period of time, scrambling a light distribution within the multimode optical fiber (302), or both. The index of refraction of the multimode optical fiber may be cyclically varied by cyclically varying the temperature of the multimode optical fiber (302). Alternatively, the index for refraction may be varied or the light distribution within the multimode optical fiber may be scrambled by cyclically manipulating the multimode optical fiber (302).

Filed: 2005-06-17
Abstract: A light distribution system is used in a method for converting solar or artificial light into electricity by collecting, concentrating and time-sharing light to a number of photovoltaic cells. A convergent lens and an optional optical collimator provide an intense parallel beam directed onto a spinning mirror reflecting the beam in a radial plane to its axis of rotation and time-distributing it to a number of photovoltaic cells which are in an inside surface of a cylinder in the plane. The apparatus has DC or AC output capability, in accordance with the connecting pattern of the PV cells and is protected against burnout due to spinning mirror failure by stopping the beam at a window. A light pipe can be used to carry the light from the collector to the mirror. The device can be used to transmit power in a laser beam to a remote station such as a robot. The same concept of distributing collimated natural or artificial light can be used where the receivers are optical fibers instead of PV cells to supply a series of lighting fixtures fed by the same collector.

Abstract: Browser frames residing on different domain servers may exchange information indirectly without compromising security that ordinary restricts frame to frame communication. The first browser frame causes the browser to generate a notification of a change of state of the browser frame. The browser sends the notification, together with data values from the content of the first browser frame, to a domain server that hosts the second frame. The server software running on the domain server receives and interprets the notification and data values, and updates the content of the second frame according to the interpretation. The domain server then sends the updated content back to the browser that issued the notification. The browser displays the updated content in the area allocated to the second frame.

IPC: B29C59/04
Filed: 2006-03-08
Abstract: Methods for compression molding through holes in polymer layers are provided, as are the resulting patterned polymer layers. Two key aspects of the invention are provision of a mold and substrate having different mechanical hardness , and provision of room for local flow of material. These aspects of the invention facilitate formation of through holes by compression molding that are not blocked or partially blocked by undesirable material. These polymer layers can be formed into three dimensional patterned structures by bonding patterned layers together. Since the layers include through holes, a three-dimensional polymer pattern can be formed. These patterned polymer layers and three dimensionally patterned polymer constructs have a wide variety of applications. For example, these constructs can be used for fabrication of micro-f luidic devices, and/or can be used for various medical and biological applications including drug delivery devices and tissue engineering devices.

Abstract: A tank filter is provided for a lead wire of an active medical device (AMD).  The tank filter includes a capacitor in parallel with an inductor. The parallel capacitor and inductor are placed in series with the lead wire of the AMD, wherein values of capacitance and inductance are selected such that the tank filter is resonant at a selected frequency. A passageway through the tank filter permits selective slidable passage of a guide wire therethrough for locating the lead wire in an implantable position. The Q of the inductor may be relatively maximized and the Q of the capacitor may be relatively minimized to reduce the overall Q of the tank filter to attenuate current flow through the lead wire along a range of selected frequencies. In a preferred form, the tank filter is integrated into a TIP and/or RING electrode for an active implantable medical device.
