Title: Wheel-cap mounting structure
Inventor: UCHIDA OSAMU
IPC: B60B7/06
Filed: 2003-06-18
Abstract: In a structure of mounting a wheel cap to a wheel, a plurality of pairs of support plates are projectingly provided on an inner wall of the wheel cap made of a synthetic resin and arranged annularly so that the support plates in each pair are opposed to each other in a circumferential direction. A pair of elastic support legs extending from opposed surfaces of the support plates in each pair are integrally connected to each other to form a V-shape. A locking claw is formed on a connection between the support legs and capable of being engaged into a locking recess in an inner peripheral surface of a rim of the wheel. An annular setting spring is connected to the locking claws for biasing the locking claws in a direction to come into engagement in said locking recess. Thus, it is possible to form each of the support legs supporting each of the locking claws sufficiently long to enhance the flexibility of the support leg, thereby improving durability of the support legs and mounting property of the wheel cap.

Title: Using gain tilt for local compensation of unwanted power gradients
Inventor: PEETERS BRAM
IPC: H04B10/17
Filed: 2003-06-25
Abstract: A compensator for optical transmission systems exploits gain tilt inherent i n optical amplifiers. The amount of SRS induced spectral power gradient is determined, and the amplifier gain is change to cause a compensating gain gradient in the optical amplifier to compensate for the SRS induced spectral power gradient. Fewer components are needed, and so it can be less expensive. It can be implemente d as a simple software upgrade to existing systems. Many such compensators can be distributed through the system, without requiring a large inventory of individually specified filters. More accurate compensation can be achieved by making it dependent on the distribution of wavelengths within a band.
