Abstract: This invention relates to optical waveguide filters and, in particular, to a
switchable optical filter particularly useful for gain equalization, for adding and
dropping optical channels, and for optical cross-connection. A filter comprises a Mach-Zehnder

Abstract: Afin d'utiliser un système à deux détecteurs à des fins de localisation dans des applications de sécurité et de protection, une anomalie de fonctionnement peut être révélée, y compris en cas d'augmentation inacceptable de la sensibilité d'un des détecteurs (S1, S2), du fait qu'il est prévu des marques de références (RM1, RM2) munies chacune d'une section de réponse (AA1, AA2) et d'une section de contrôle (PA11, PA21). En cas de fonctionnement approprié, le détecteur produit un premier signal de sortie (AS1) dans la zone de la section de réponse et un second signal de sortie (AS1) dans la zone de la section de contrôle.

extraction discharge manifold. The tubes extend into the inlet duct (10) of
the compressor, are uniformly spaced one from the other and have a
uniform distribution of laterally opening apertures (44) along their lengths
in registration with the apertures of next laterally adjacent tubes. The
tubes are located downstream of the silencer baffles (18). By providing

vortices behind the silencer baffles is achieved, affording a uniform
temperature distribution across the inlet duct with minimum pressure loss.
The tubes are constructed with bends (38,42) to accommodate thermal
expansion of the manifold receiving compressor discharge air, the
manifold also being supported to accommodate thermal expansion and

Abstract: A method of image reconstruction from wedge beam data includes collecting cone beam
data in two-dimensional arrays. The collected data corresponds to rays of penetrating
radiation diverging in two dimensions from a common vertex which travels along a curve.
Each element of the data is related to line integrals of an object being reconstructed taken
along each ray. A local coordinate system is defined having three mutually orthogonal axes
and an origin at the vertex. The third axis of the local coordinate system extends in a
direction tangential to the curve at the vertex. The collected data is rebinned into a wedge
beam format wherein sets of parallel rays are grouped to define planes of radiation that
angularly diverge from a common axis. A one-dimensional convolution of the rebinned
data is computed in the local coordinate system along a direction parallel to the third axis.
Finally, the convolved data is weighted and three-dimensionally backprojected. In a
preferred embodiment, the curve defines a helical path, and the kernel for the one-dimensional
convolution of the rebinned data is a ramp convolver.

Abstract: A method for synchronizing timestamps in a network (e.g., a wireless ATM network) that includes a control node and a plurality of other nodes that communicate with one another over a common channel mediated by a medium-access control subsystem (e.g., one that uses a reservation-based TDMA protocol). The method includes the steps of sending a first command from the control node, at a first time, then storing a starting timestamp value in a register within the control node and each of the other nodes, in response to the first command, and then sending a second command from the control node, at a second time later than the first time. Each of the other nodes computes the difference between the starting timestamp value and a current timestamp value, and than adds the computed difference to the current timestamp value. In an alternative embodiment, the control node sends a preset command and each of the other nodes presets their respective timestamp to a prescribed initial timestamp value, in response to the preset command. Each of the nodes periodically compares a current timestamp counter value with a prescribed reset value, and upon detecting a coincidence, sets a sync flag latch to indicate that a next timestamp value correction is to be made, in response to a next preset command. Networks that implement the above-described methods are also disclosed.
