Patent EP-1255141-A2 (EP)
Inventor: NYSTROM MICHAEL J
IPC: B81B1/00
Filed: 2002-04-18
Abstract: An optical switch (10,10') includes a core (12), a fluid reservoir (14) coupled to the core
(12) via a tube (16), a thermal solution (18), and an insulating structure (32, 32'). The core (12)
includes a base (20), a matrix controller substrate (22), and a planar lightwave circuit (24). The
planar lightwave circuit (24) has a plurality of waveguides (26) and trenches (30) for rerouting
an optical stream. The fluid reservoir (14) supplies fluid to the plurality of trenches (30) of the
core (12). The core (12) and the fluid reservoir (14) are mounted on the thermal solution (18),
which maintains the fluid reservoir (14) at a higher temperature than the core (12) by removing
heat from the core (12) and transferring some heat to the fluid reservoir (14). The insulating
structure (32, 32') reduces any thermal leakage from the fluid reservoir (14) to the core (12). In
addition, the insulating structure (32, 32') can improve the temperature profile and overall
temperature of the planar lightwave circuit (24) and prevent unwanted atmospheric gases from
entering the optical switch (10, 10').

IPC: H02M3/335

Abstract: Typically, in a half-bridge converter A DC blocking capacitor and inductance on the
primary side combines with the inductor and capacitor on the secondary side to produce
complicated converter dynamic characteristics that make converter stabilization difficult. The
disclosed system and methods enable converter stabilization by modulating, as a function of
the voltage across the DC blocking capacitor, the feedback output error signal or the ramp
signal for the PWM controller of the converter. The modulation removes the effect of the
resonant circuit formed by the primary inductance and the DC blocking capacitor in the output
voltage regulation loop. Further adjustment of the duty cycle of the power switches enables
keeping the output voltage undisturbed by voltage variation across the DC blocking capacitor.
Since, this inner compensation loop results in the voltage regulation feedback loop respond to
only the output inductor-capacitor filter, the transfer function of this loop displays second
order characteristics from the fourth order. Hence, stability issues are simplified to
conventional second order compensation network whereby the converter can be optimized for
fast transient response.

Abstract: A method and system for compressing and displaying a
digital ink trace. Raw ink data is smoothed, and sharp points
of the smoothed line are found. Curve-fitting is then used to
generate a mathematical expression that defines the line
segments between adjacent sharp points. The ink trace then is
represented by a backbone spline that includes the sharp
points and the mathematical expressions for the line segments.
Thickness information, such as pressure or acceleration
information, is combined with the backbone spline to provide a
compressed ink file that represents a contour curve of the
original ink trace. A display module uses an algorithm to
separate the contour curve into a sequence of straight lines.
A set of pixels is then generated for the display of each
straight line using a novel antialiasing method. The pixels
at the ends of adjacent straight lines are aligned using a
weighting algorithm.
