Abstract: A receptacle for terminating an optical fiber at an active device such as a photodetector or solid-state light source. The receptacle includes a housing, a termination fixture and an active device. The housing has an opening for receiving the terminal portion of an optical fiber, a door located at the opening, biased to a closed position and having a latch for releasably receiving an optical fiber plug, and a removable plate allowing access to an interior of the housing. The termination fixture and the active device may be mounted to a common substrate attached to an interior portion of the housing. The termination fixture includes a base and a projection attached to the base proximate a light-transmitting portion thereof, the projection having a fiber-receiving groove directed toward a fiber stop surface located on the light-transmitting portion of the base. The base can have a lens integrally molded with the light-transmitting portion. The active device is positioned with respect to the termination fixture to receive light from, and/or transmit light to, any fiber whose terminal portion is located in the V-groove and abutting the fiber stop. An optional optical plate may be used to adjust the optical characteristics of the termination fixture.

Abstract: An apparatus for tracking the varying resonant frequency of an electrically resonant structure, characterized by: a variable frequency oscillator providing an excitation signal of a variable frequency encompassing the possible resonant frequency range of the resonant structure, a bidirectional RF transmission line connecting the variable frequency oscillator and the resonant structure, the transmission line incorporating a directional coupler which generates a directional coupler signal proportional to the reflected signal from the resonant structure, the directional coupler signal being conditioned by a processor to provide a feedback signal to the input of the variable frequency oscillator, such that the mean frequency of the excitation signal is caused to continuously track the varying resonant frequency resonant structure. Typically the tracking of the varying resonant frequency involves at least two functions, a first search function for initially searching the possible resonant frequency range of the resonant structure and, once resonance of the resonant structure is established, a second following function for following the variable resonant frequency as it varies as a function of time.

Abstract: The separation device of the invention is directed to a container having an interior surface defining a channel. The container further has an inlet and an outlet. On the interior surface of the channel are pole tips which may be in a sawtooth configuration having sharp angles facing the interior of the channel that generate a high gradient magnetic field in the channel. Within the channel may be incorporated separating material. The separating material eliminates the direct contact of cells with the magnetic pole material. The separating material, as well as the sawtooth pole tips also serves the purpose of creating a field gradient across the entire container to avoid the problem of zero field gradient in the center of the container where the velocity is greatest, and where more cells flow. The separating material is designed to cause a substantially unobstructed flow of medium through the channel so that unlabeled substances are not trapped in the separating material.

Abstract: Rate charging rules and principles concerning mobile calls in a cellular communication system can be improved by providing the mobile station with a locator object which, at certain intervals, determines the cell in which the mobile station is currently located. Stored in the mobile station is a list of cells or areas in which a special rate is to be applied in charging for calls originating from the mobile station. The locator object monitors calls made from the mobile station and, when it detects that a call is being made, it determines whether the mobile station was in a denoted special rate area at the time that its location was most recently determined. If so, then the object informs the network that the call is entitled to the special rate. Since the last location function was executed just before call setup commenced, a special rate call is possible even if the mobile station has thereafter moved some distance into a cell applying a normal rate. Disposed in a billing center is a billing object, to which the locator object sends data indicating whether the call was initiated from a cell or area in which a special rate is applicable, as well as data identifying the particular call. The second object receives the billing records generated by the mobile switching center, which also contain call identifying data, and compares the call-specific data in those records with the data sent by the first object. In this way, the second object can identify from the billing records those calls that are entitled to a special rate, regardless of whether the mobile station has moved during call setup from the original cell into a cell where another rate, e.g. a higher rate, is applicable.

Abstract: The present invention includes processes and resulting structures for producing a modified polymer having interconnecting channels. The interconnecting channels act as controlled transmission passages through the polymer. A hydrophilic agent is blended into the polymer so that it is distributed within the polymer. In one embodiment, a releasing material is blended into the polymer so that the releasing material is distributed within the product. The product is solidified so that the hydrophilic agent forms passages in the product through which a desired composition is communicable to the releasing material that is entrained within the product. The solidified product may be used to form a desired shaped article such as plug type inserts and liners for closed containers, or it may be formed into a film, sheet, bead or pellet.
