Patent CA-2358571-A1 (CA)
Inventor: SUBH NAIF TALEB
IPC: G02B6/38
Filed: 2001-10-10
Abstract: An optical cable tracing system is constructed using an optical/electrical (hybrid) cable [10] containing both optical and electrical transmission media.  This cable provides desirably high bandwidth via optical fibers (15] while connection accuracy is provided via electrical wires [13], which are used to operate indicator lights [941] at one or both ends of the cable. A hybrid plug connector [300] terminates the cable at each end and includes a dielectric housing [20, 30]  that encloses the optical fiber (glass or plastic), which extends through a front opening [21] in the housing. A single cantilever latch [22] is mounted on a top-side of the housing that is adapted to engage a mating jack receptacle [440] in a locking relationship. A conductor-holding apparatus is molded into the bottom side of the housing where it holds a number of insulated electrical conductors and metallic blade terminals [36] that pierce the insulation and make electrical contact with each of the conductors. The mating jack receptacle includes a row of spaced wire springs [449] at the entrance of the optical connecting portion of the receptacle.   The wire springs either extend to an opposite side of the receptacle to provide electrical interconnection between a pair of hybrid plug connectors, or the wire springs are arrayed to fit into a printed wiring board [710] for interconnection with electrical circuitry [730] thereon.

Title: An optical switch having a planar waveguide and a shutter actuator
Inventor: JONES ROYDN DAVID
IPC: G02B26/08
Filed: 2000-11-22
Abstract: An optical switch having an input waveguide and two output waveguides separated by and disposed around a trench. The input waveguide and a first output waveguide have respective optical paths defined by their respective cores; those optical paths (and cores) being coaxial with each other. Those waveguides are also separated by a trench having a medium provided therein that has a refractive index different from that of the waveguides. The input  waveguide and first output waveguide are separated by a distance defined by the trench and that is insufficient to affect the transmission characteristi cs of an optical signal propagating from the input waveguide to the first outpu t waveguide, even though the optical signal experiences different refractive indices as it propagates across the trench from the input waveguide to the first output waveguide. The input waveguide and a second output waveguide ar e arranged generally on the same side of the trench such that an optical signa l passing from the input waveguide to the second output waveguide does not completely traverse the trench. Thus, even though an optical signal passing from the input waveguide to either of the first or second output waveguide encounters different refractive indices, the distance over which the optical  signal must travel between the waveguides is small enough so as to not affec t the optical transmission characteristics of that signal.

Title: Device and method for pathogen inactivation of therapeutic fluids with sterilizing radiation
Inventor: BOGGS DANIEL R
IPC: A61M1/36
Filed: 2001-01-26
Abstract: A device and method for inactivating pathogens in therapeutic fluids with sterilizing radiation in a continuous flow arrangement while exhibiting radiation dose uniformity and narrow residence time distribution of the fluid within the device. The device (10) comprises a radiation permeable cylindrical tube (12) having a concentric cylindrical rotor (14) disposed therein, thereby providing a thin gap (16) therebetween. A top plate (18) having a fluid outlet (26) and a bottom plate (20) having a fluid inlet (24) seal the cylindrical tube (12). The inlet (24) and outlet (26) are both in fluid communication with the thin gap (16). A rotor shaft (36) is diposed axially through the cylindrical rotor (14) and is connected to a motor (30). A pump provides fluid flow through the device (10). A radiation source provides sterilizing radiation to the fluid through the cylindrical tube (12). As the fluid flows, the motor (30) drives the rotor (14) to impart Taylor vortices to the fluid flow, which exchanges the fluid closer to the cylindrical tube (12) with the fluid closer to the rotor (14).

Title: A seismic source, a marine seismic surveying arrangement, a method of operating a marine seismic source, and a method of de-ghosting seismic data
Inventor: MOLDOVEANU NICOLAE
IPC: G01V1/38
Filed: 2001-03-29
Abstract: A staggered vertical marine seismic source contains upper and lower arrays (10, 11) of emitters of seismic energy (S11, S12; S21, S22). The upper array (10) is horizontally displaced relative to the lower array (11). The source is used in a marine seismic surveying arrangement that has means for moving the source and at least one seismic receiver. In use, the source is moved through the water in a direction parallel to the direction in which the two arrays are displaced. The arrays (10, 11) are fired sequentially, and the time delay between the firing of the first-fired array and firing of the second-fired array is chosen such that each seismic emitter in one array is fired at the same x-and y-coordinates as the corresponding emitter in the other array. The seismic wavefields generated by firing the two arrays are thus generated at the same x- and y co-ordinates, but at different depths. The seismic data recorded at the receiver(s) as a consequence of firing the first array can be used to de-ghost the seismic data acquired as a result of firing the second array or vice-versa, thereby eliminating or reducing the effect of source-side ghost reflections and reverberations.
