Patent EP-1162484-A3 (EP)
Inventor: LACEY JONATHAN P R
IPC: H04B10/29
Filed: 2001-03-20
Abstract: An optical switch, preferably an add/drop switch, includes a
minimal number of two-state switching arrangements (102, 104, 106 and 108;
and 188, 190, 192 and 194), thereby facilitating a reduction of switch complexity.
Light pulses entering the switch via a given input port (110, 112, 114
and 116) may be directed to either a corresponding output port (118, 120,
122 and 124) or a corresponding drop port (126, 128, 130 and 132) by the
operation of the switching arrangements. Light pulses entering the switch via
a given add port (134, 136, 138 and 140) may be directed to a corresponding
output port or may be disbursed by the operation of the switching arrangements.
The switching arrangements are toggled between reflective and
transmissive states. In the preferred embodiment, the two-state switching
arrangements are controlled by the manipulation of index matching fluid
within trenches (168, 170, 172 and 174; and 196, 198, 200, 202, 204, 206,
208 and 210). Additionally, in the preferred embodiment, the switching
arrangements are configured such that a given light pulse interacts with only
one trench, thereby minimizing the overall signal loss and loss
non-uniformities within the switch.

Abstract: A pedometer determines that the user does not wear the pedometer
when the current number of steps is not more than a prescribed set value,
not to employ the data of the current number of steps on the day the user
does not wear the pedometer for calculating an average number of steps.
If the current number of steps is in excess of the set value, the pedometer
determines that the user wears the pedometer for adding the current
number of steps to the total number of steps, adding 1 to the number of
days and dividing the total number of steps by the number of days for
calculating an average number of steps per day. Consequently, a
pedometer having a function of displaying the average number of steps per
day, which can not only maintain correctness of the average number of
steps but also keep the user interested in exercise even if the user forgets
wearing the pedometer, can be provided.

Abstract: A method and an apparatus for automatically initializing and adjusting the
Doppler sample gate position and size settings based on actual vessel image
data. A vessel segment search method employs an object search technique
based solely on geometric and morphological information in a binarized
vessel image obtained from either B-mode or color flow image data. The
morphologically best or nearest vessel segment within a target search region
in the two-dimensional image is found. The sample gate is placed at or near
the center of the targeted vessel segment. The sample gate size is adjusted
in relation to the vessel size. Then the best available steering angle that
minimizes the Doppler angle is selected.

and a metallic member which are bonded to each other. An active
metal foil is disposed on the surface of the ceramic base and
a solder material comprising Au or a solder material comprising
an Au-Ag alloy is disposed on the active metal foil, the active
metal foil and the solder material are heated to form a bonding
layer, the metallic member is disposed on the surface of the
bonding layer, and these are pressed and heated to bond the
bonding layer and the metallic member through solid phase
bonding. Since in this composite member the bonding layer and

Abstract: A method of performing packet level transmission scheduling in a
communications system including a plurality of cells, each cell including
a base station (104) and a plurality of mobile stations (108, 110, 112).
The method performs scheduling while considering radio resource
allocation at the wireless access node. In a schedule plan phase of the
method, average power and average effective data rate are determined
for all mobile stations in the system. In addition, the planned fraction of
frames ρ that each mobile in the system will transmit is determined so
that resources are allocated fairly. In the actual schedule phase of the
method, current power and effective data rate values are compared to
the average power values. This information along with the ρ values is
used to determine the actual schedule of packet transmissions for all
mobiles in a particular cell.
