Patent EP-1297370-B1 (EP)
Inventor: DULTZ WOLFGANG
IPC: C03B37/027

Granted: 2006-05-03
Abstract: The invention relates to an optical waveguide (optical fiber) based on quartz glass having reduced internal mechanical stresses. In prior art optical waveguides, the internal mechanical stresses are primarily due to the production process, namely due to the difference of the linear thermal coefficients of expansion of the core and sheathing material during the cooling of the fiber and due to the drawing itself. In an inventive optical waveguide, the difference of the linear thermal coefficients of expansion of the core and/or sheathing material is selected by means of an appropriate doping of the core and sheathing material. This selection is made so that the internal mechanical stresses, which are caused by the cooling during the production process, are significantly reduced or eliminated and/or they counteract the stresses caused by the drawing. The invention provides that all of tile internal stresses inside the optical waveguide are significantly reduced, minimized or eliminated with regard to those of prior art optical waveguides. The advantageous effects resulting therefrom include a lower attenuation and improved PMD values compared to prior art optical waveguides.

Abstract: L'invention concerne une unité de décodage (111) décodant des données codées entrées dans des données vidéo, et produisant en sortie ces données vidéo dans une unité d'écriture (112) de données vidéo. Chaque fois qu'une quantité prédéterminée (par exemple, une trame) de données vidéo est émise en sortie, un signal de notification d'extrémité de décodage est produit en sortie dans une unité de lecture (114) de données vidéo et dans une unité de production (115) de signal de commande. L'unité d'écriture (112) de données vidéo écrit les données vidéo dans une unité de stockage (113). Ladite unité d'écriture (112) de données vidéo fonctionne par intermittence aux moments où le signal de notification d'extrémité de codage est entré, afin de lire une quantité prédéterminée de données vidéo à partir de ladite unité de stockage (113). L'unité de production (115) de signal de commande produit un signal de commande (206) afin de désigner une nouvelle partie de données vidéo décodées à l'aide de moyens de décodage. En réponse au signal (204) de notification d'extrémité de décodage, l'unité de lecture (114) de données vidéo produit en sortie le signal de commande (206) synchrone avec le moment où une sortie est produite à partir de l'unité de sortie (116) de données vidéo. Toutefois, les données vidéo peuvent être transférées par intermittence d'un dispositif de décodage (101) vers un dispositif d'affichage (121) sans circuit auxiliaire extérieur, ce qui permet de réduire la taille et la consommation d'énergie d'un dispositif de terminal mobile pour communication vidéo, et d'alléger la charge de traitement requise pour surveiller un microprocesseur.

Abstract: Multifocal and single focus lenses are defined by nonconical aspheric optical surfaces. Various alternative surface shapes provide one or more vision regions bounded by optical steps. Each optical step has rapidly and smoothly changing power in the radial direction which creates an induced aperture through which the cortical elements of the human vision system are induced to concentrate. The induced aperture results in increased clarity and enhanced vision. In various configurations, the induced aperture decreases spherical aberration to further enhance vision. To increase correction intensity at one or more powers, redundant power regions are provided in repeated optical steps or annular apertures. In several embodiments, the redundant power regions create multiple induced apertures at one or more optical powers directed at one or more vision distances.
