Patent EP-1054272-A1 (EP)
IPC: G02F1/225
Filed: 1999-05-21
Abstract: A planar arrayed waveguide grating (15) [WDG] comprises I/O slabs (53a, 53b)
interconnected by a grating region (51). The grating region (51) comprises many, e.g.
at least 25 and preferably 50 to 500, individual cores (61,62,63). which have
different lengths so as to provide wavelength selectivity by causing phase changes in
light conveyed between the I/O slabs (53a, 53b). There are bends (64) for providing
the different lengths and, to improve optical guidance round the bends, empty (R.I.
= 1) grooves (71) are located adjacent to the inside (71.1) and outside radii (71.2) so
that the evanescent fields extend into the grooves (71). In order to keep the
dimensions small, which improves the optical accuracy, tight bends (preferred radii of
curvature of less than 2mm and especially less than 500 µm ) are desirable. The
grooves conveniently have tapered ends and they extend into straight portions
adjacent to the bends. The WDG is preferably implemented in silica glass with
dopants to adjust the refractive index and/or the melting point.

apertures (22) and connecting pins (3) is in the range of 0.5 µm or
lower, the length of the sheared surface of the aperture is in the range
of 90% or higher of the axial length of the aperture, and a hardened
vanadium carbide layer with a thickness of 20 µm or higher is formed on
the connecting pin (3). In addition, the thickness of the outermost
inside link plates is greater than the thickness of the remaining link
plates and the thickness of the central link plates in the guide row is
greater than thickness of the remaining link plates.

Abstract: A hybrid equalizer for a communications receiver has a decision
feedback equalizer having a feedforward filter (10) and a feedback
filter (16). The feedforward filter (10) receives an input data stream
comprising modulation symbols representing received intelligence which
may be subject to distortion, and produces an output data stream partially
corrected for such distortion. A reduced state sequence estimator (12)
receives the partially corrected output data stream and calculates a
sequence of symbols received. A processor (20) executes the Viterbi
algorithm for estimating the values of symbols received, based on the
partially corrected data stream and on a channel reference, and produces
an output. The output of the processor is coupled to the input of the
feedback filter (16). The feedback filter coefficients provide the
channel reference for the reduced state sequence estimation.

for securing the hinges fit into threaded holes passing through the supports
(6) so that, when they are tightened, they act against the wall of the section
(8) and push the supports (6) towards it, locking them in the desired
position.

Abstract: La présente invention concerne un système de distribution de faisceaux laser, utilisant une technique permettant une ablation lisse et uniforme des tissus, notamment pour reconstituer la cornée de l'oeil, même dans des conditions réelles telles qu'un oeil en mouvement. Cette technique consiste à former plusieurs lignes de balayage (22, 24, 26, 28, 30, 32, 34, 36, 38, 40, 42, 44) dans une zone d'ablation (135) sur les tissus, et à former une pluralité de points d'ablation par faisceaux laser (46, 48, 49) le long de chaque ligne de balayage. On procède au balayage d'un faisceau laser d'ablation le long d'une série de lignes de balayage non adjacentes (22, 26, 30, 34, 38, 42) faisant partie de la pluralité des lignes de balayage, les tissus étant soumis à une ablation par intermittence au niveau des lignes de balayage non adjacentes des points d'ablation à faisceau laser (46, 48), sur chaque ligne de balayage non adjacente. Dans un autre aspect de l'invention, on divise une zone d'ablation (135) en une pluralité de domaines (70), puis on détermine dans chacun de ces domaines une profondeur moyenne d'ablation. On pratique ensuite l'ablation des tissus en commandant dans chaque domaine (70) un certain nombre d'impulsions de faisceaux laser d'ablation, proportionnellement à la profondeur moyenne d'ablation dans chaque domaine (70).

Abstract: A lipid or other hydrophobic or amphiphilic compound (collectively referred to herein as "hydrophobic compounds") is integrated into a polymeric matrix for drug delivery to alter drug release kinetics. In embodiments where the drug is water soluble, the drug is released over longer periods of time as compared to release from the polymeric matrix not incorporating the hydrophobic compound into the polymeric material. In contrast to methods in which a surfactant or lipid is added as an excipient, the hydrophobic compound is actually integrated into the polymeric matrix, thereby modifying the diffusion of water into the microparticle and diffusion of solubilized drug out of the matrix. The integrated hydrophobic compound also prolongs degradation of hydrolytically unstable polymers forming the matrix, further delaying release of encapsulated drug.

Abstract: L'invention concerne l'utilisation, par des téléphones cellulaires mobiles standard, de transmission de signaux en rafales raccourcies pour synchroniser la transmission d'un appel dans un réseau téléphonique cellulaire. Ces rafales raccourcies ainsi que d'autres rafales de canal de trafic peuvent permettre de localiser la position du téléphone cellulaire. Pendant l'opération, une station de base primaire envoie un message de désignation de canal de trafic à un téléphone mobile sélectionné qui commence alors des transmissions en rafales de canal de trafic, telles que des rafales raccourcies, dans un intervalle égal ou inférieur à cinq secondes. La station primaire et au moins deux autres stations de base de voisinage reçoivent ces transmissions en rafales et déterminent les distances respectives les séparant du téléphone cellulaire sur la base du moment d'arrivée des rafales ou d'une autre mesure appropriée liée à la distance. Un centre de commande détermine la localisation du téléphone cellulaire par triangulation des mesures de distance des stations de base.

Abstract: The invention relates to a device and method for coating substrates in a vacuum, wherein a plasma is to be generated from a target and ionized particles of the plasma are to be deposited on the substrate in the form of a layer, as has long been used in a very wide range of known PVD processes. The intention of the invention is to prevent droplets and particles from settling in the applied layer, which droplets and particles have an adverse effect on the properties of the layer, or at least to reduce the number of these droplets and particles. To solve this problem, an absorber electrode which is at an electrically positive potential is used, which electrode is a few mm away from the root of the plasma, and is arranged in front of or next to the plasma in such a way and is shaped in such a way that an electric field is formed around the absorber electrode. The electric field vector is to be oriented at least approximately orthogonally to the direction of movement of the ionized particles of the plasma.

     The object is attained, by an antenna feeding circuit,
according to the present invention, in which micro-strips lines are
constituted from one or more pair(s) of band conductors (5a, 5b)
disposed on the outer surface of the cylindrical body (1) and an inner
conductor (6) disposed on the whole of the inner surface of the
cylindrical body (1). A 180 degree distributor (2) supplies electric
power to the band conductors (5a, 5b) so that the phase difference
between the currents in the band conductors (5a, 5b) is 180 degrees,
and due to this, inutile current generated in accordance with the
connection of the balance and unbalance lines. 
     Inutile current induced in the inner surface of the inner
conductor can be cancelled out, because the inner conductor 6 is
disposed on the whole of the inner surface of the cylindrical body
(1).
