Abstract: A connector for one or more optical fibers (F) has a ferrule (E) into which the optical fibers are glued directly with their outer cladding. No stripping of the fibers is required any longer before gluing them to the ferrule and thus, the difficulty of the fragility of the stripped fibers is overcome. The fibers are special fiber having a primary coating with smaller tolerances of ±2 microns. The fibers are arranged on a flexible foil which forms an optical overlay for a printed circuit board.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to a method and system for
disaggregating and connecting A/V components, and communicating A/V content
stream information. An A/V stream from a source device is packaged for transmission
over an IP network to one or more output devices. A brick device enables the
integration of legacy A/V systems into the network supported A/V system. The brick
device operates to provide analog signal and IP protocol conversion, along with the
synchronization of received A/V stream data packets. The rendering and play of the
AN stream content on multiple output devices is synchronized to overcome
distortions and other network idiosyncrasy and to facilitate a pleasant user experience.

Abstract: There is provided a method for flue gas desulfurization
which is capable of conducting minute control of oxidation
and which is capable of maintaining the concentration of
sulfurous acid in an absorbent liquid within a proper range
in a highly reliable and efficient manner, even in the case
where an abrupt change occurs in the operational conditions
of the system. In the method for controlling the oxidation
in flue gas desulfurization, the value of proportional
sensitivity (K) in the feed back control process, which is
based primarily on the oxidation-reduction potential (ORP),
is increased depending on the deviation (ε) in a region where
the detected value (PV) is below the target value (SV) in
correspondence with the characteristic change of the
oxidation-reduction potential against the concentration of
sulfurous acid (PN).

Abstract: A mirror for use in a lithographic apparatus and a lithographic apparatus with such a
mirror. The apparatus has a source (SO) to provide radiation of a desired wavelength,
e.g., EUV. The source (SO) generates a stream of undesired metal particles that are
deposited to form smaller and larger nuclei on the mirror. The mirror has a top layer (8)
of a predetermined metal, that may interdiffuse in a predetermined temperature range
with nuclei of the metal deposition. Thus, an additional layer (14) of an alloy of the
metal particles and the metal of the top layer (8) is formed that has a higher reflectivity
than a layer only comprising the metal particles would have.

Abstract: A method for managing multicast subscribers in a mobile network, comprising: classifying
data related to multicast traffic into multicast-related record data and multicast route data.
The multicast-related record data is stored in the system for query, while the multicast
route data is hierarchically stored in the system to determine how to forward multicast
data. When a subscriber joins in a multicast group or the multicast subscriber exits a
multicast group, the hierarchical multicast route data and said multicast-related record data
are modified accordingly. When the multicast subscriber performs a position register and
position update in the network, the hierarchical multicast route data in the system is
modified accordingly. The management of multicast subscribers in the mobile network
can be achieved easily and both management efficiency and the utilization coefficient of
system resources are improved.
