Abstract: A ferrule (10) for an optical fiber (42, 43) comprises a
cover (16) and a base (14). The base (14) and the cover (16)
include a pair of complementary-profile mating surfaces (18,
26). At least one of the mating surfaces (18, 26) has a
trough (38, 40) that receives an optical fiber (42, 43). The
complementary-profile mating surfaces (18, 26) each have
geometric features that substantially align the cover (16) in
relation to the base (14) in both the lateral and the
longitudinal directions. The base-to-cover alignment is
performed on a passive basis by placing the cover (16) on the
base (14) in a manner that causes the noted geometric
features on the cover (16) to engage corresponding geometric
features on the base (14).

Abstract: In making use of an add/drop multiplexer for
demultiplexing or multiplexing signal light of a few
specific wavelengths from signal light subjected to optical
wavelength multiplexing, a fiber bragg grating (33-1,33-N) is excellent
for enhancing rejection of a leakage of a demultiplexed
light, but with respect to a high speed optical signal at
the demultiplexing or multiplexing, a waveform
deterioration occurs. When a dielectric multilayer film
filter is used for dealing with the high speed optical
signal, a plurality of filters are used to suppress a
coherent cross talk, resulting in an increase of loss of
pass-through light and an increase of costs. 
     For a filter portion of at least demultiplexing part (22-1),
a dielectric multilayer film filter (23-1,23-N) which is short in an
optical path and free from deterioration of a high speed
optical signal is used, and for demultiplexed light leakage
rejecting part between the demultiplexing part and the
multiplexing part, a fiber bragg grating (33-1,33-N) which is low in
loss of pass-through light, is low in cost and is excellent
in the rejection characteristics of filter light is used.

Abstract: A squeegee unit having a stirring squeegee and a
leveling squeegee fixed thereto is rocked with the
reciprocating operation of a transfer unit moving mechanism
to cause the stirring squeegee and the leveling squeegee to
approach the pan surface of a transfer unit on going and
returning paths. Consequently, the stirring squeegee stirs
a viscous fluid put on the transfer unit on the going path
of the transfer unit and the leveling squeegee uniformly
flattens the viscous fluid stirred on the going path to
have a predetermined thickness on the returning path of the
transfer unit, thereby forming a flat viscous fluid
transfer surface on the transfer unit. By immersing the
terminal portion of the electronic component in the viscous
fluid transfer surface, the viscous fluid is transferred to
the electronic component and the electronic component is
then mounted in a predetermined mounting position.

Abstract: A pressure fluid conduit coupling (18) fitting, wherein a nipple
tube conduit (26) fitting shank is made of specially grooved rigid material. A
conventional elastomeric hose conduit (34) having an open end telescopically
receives the grooved tube conduit, and a conventional crimp-collar (36) is
sleeved over and shrunk-deformed onto the hose open end to permanently
sealably secure the coupled conduit connection. An external circumferential
surface of the tube conduit has one or more circumferentially continuous sharp
edge external grooves (28) of a shallow depth (H) and predetermined width
(W 1 ) that are defined by ribs formed between the grooves. The junction of the
groove sidewalls (54, 56) with the respectively adjacent conduit outer surface
defines a circumferentially continuous sharp edge formed generally as a 90°
junction of these groove sidewalls and rib surface, plus or minus a few degrees.
These specially contoured sharp edge shallow depth external grooves enhance
the fluid sealing capacity (pressure rating) of the coupling connection while
reducing the magnitude of collar shrink crimping required, and minimize the
chances of hose damage because of over-crimping.

Abstract: Methods and constructs for the introduction of multiple genes into plants using a single transformation event are described. Constructs contain a single 5' promoter operably linked to DNA encoding a modified intein splicing unit. The splicing unit is expressed as a polyprotein and consists of a first protein fused to an intein fused to a second protein. The splicing unit has been engineered to promote excision of all non-essential components in the polyprotein but prevent the ligation reactions normally associated with protein splicing. Additional genetic elements encoding inteins and additional proteins can be fused in frame to the 5'-terminus of the coding regions for the second protein to form a construct for expression of more than two proteins. A single 3' termination sequence, such as a polyadenylation sequence when the construct is to be expressed in eukaryotic cells, follows the last coding sequence. These methods and constructs are particularly useful for creating plants with stacked input traits, illustrated by glyphosate tolerant plants producing BT toxin, and/or value added products, illustrated by the production of polyhydroxyalkanoates in plants.

Abstract: To combat base station power drift, the power transmission level of each base station in a diversity handover may be compared to a power reference established for all base stations in the diversity handover. The difference between the transmit power of each base station and the reference power threshold may then be used to correct the transmit power level of that base station. The reference power level(s) used in compensating for base station power drift is(are) advantageously determined using one or more parameters relevant to the current condition of the diversity handover communication. Rather than setting an arbitrary and static reference power level, the reference power level is set dynamically so that it is relevant to the current conditions of the diversity handover communication. Dynamic and adaptive reference power level setting results in more effective and more efficient downlink power control. Unnecessary power changes, both in frequency and in size, are avoided because the reference power level is more accurately determined for the current circumstances.
