Title: Large diameter optical waveguide, grating, and laser
Inventor: PUTNAM MARTIN A
IPC: G02B6/12
Filed: 2000-12-05
Abstract: A large diameter optical waveguide, grating, and laser includes a waveguide (10) having at least one core surrounded by a cladding, the core propagating  light in substantially a few transverse spatial modes; and having an outer waveguide dimension of said waveguide being greater than about 0.3mm. The waveguide may be axially compressed which causes the length of the waveguide  to decrease without buckling. The waveguide may be used for any application where a waveguide needs to be compression tuned, e.g., compression-tuned fib er Bragg gratings and lasers or other applications. Also, the waveguide exhibit s lower mode coupling from the core to the cladding and allows for higher optical power to be used when writing gratings without damaging the waveguid e. The shape of the waveguide may have other geometries (e.g., a "dogbone" shap e) and/or more than one grating or pair of gratings may be used and more than o ne core may be used. The core and/or cladding may be doped with a rare-earth dopant and/or may be photosensitive. At least a portion of the core may be doped between a pair of gratings to form a fiber laser. Also a tunable DFB fiber laser or an interactive fiber laser can be constructed within the waveguide. The waveguide may resemble a short "block" or a longer "cane" typ e, depending on the application and dimensions used.

Title: Method and apparatus for communicating between a client device and a linear broadband network
Inventor: BISHOP DONALD M
IPC: H04L12/28
Filed: 2000-02-29
Abstract: A method of upstream communication over a linear broadband network includes the steps of generating an upstream baseband signal and modulating it onto an upstream wireless radio frequency carrier to produce a first upstream modulated carrier signal. The modulated carrier signal is transmitted wirelessly, received, and demodulated to reproduce the information integrity of the upstream baseband signal. The signal is then modulated onto an upstream linear broadband radio frequency carrier for transmission on the linear broadband network. Advantageously, noise that accumulates at the subscriber premises is removed from the upstream signal prior to presentation of the signal to the upstream path of the linear broadband network. A system for communicating over a linear broadband network includes network access interface devices coupled to the linear broadband network. A subscriber access interface device accepts upstream communication signals and modulates and transmits the signal to the network access interface device. The network access interface device 6 receives and demodulates the signal and then modulates it for transmission on the linear broadband network.

Title: Integrated duct diffuser
Inventor: SASU IOAN
IPC: F04D29/44
Filed: 2001-06-29
Abstract: The invention provides a diffuser assembly (10) constructed of internal and external concentrically nested bowl-shaped shells (12, 14) for directing an outward flow of compressed air from a centrifugal compressor impeller (24) t o an axially rearward diffused annular flow. One of the shells is formed with grooves (30) sepa-rated by seam edges (34) and the other shell includes a smooth surface of revolu-tion. The grooves (30) on the one shell are closed by the other shell when the two shells (12, 14) are nested together and the sea m edges are secured to the smooth surface by fastening means thus defining individual diffuser ducts extending from the compressor impeller to the oute r shell edges. The costs of production are reduced since tooling costs and manufacturing complexity are dramatically reduced when only two shell parts are required.

Filed: 2001-11-20
Abstract: Theft, distribution, and piracy of digital content (software, video, audio, e- books, any content of any kind that is digitally stored and distributed) is generally accomplished by copying it, if possible, or, if it is protected from being copied in any fashion, such piracy is based upon a number of reverse engineering techniques. Aside from the straightforward copying of unprotected content, all of these other methods require first an understanding of the protective mechanism(s) guarding the content, and finally an unauthorized modification of that protection in order to disable or subvert it. Methods that prevent a skilled individual from using teverse engineering tools and techniques to attain that level of understanding and/or prevent anyone from performing such modifications can offer significant advantages to content creators who wish to protect their products.
