Patent CA-2320833-A1 (CA)
Inventor: FEE JOHN A
IPC: H04B10/275
Filed: 1999-02-12
Abstract: A plurality of optical cross-connect switches (OCCS B, OCCS C, OCCS D) are freely interconnected (302, 304, 306, 308, 310, 312) to form a mesh type network (202). At least three of the optical cross-connect switches are switched to form a line-switched ring network, thereby forming a ring/mesh network (202). Simply by changing the switching logic of the optical cross-connect swithes within the ring/mesh network, new rings can be created and existing rings can be modified, thereby providing a great deal of flexibility to make changes to the network as traffic patterns change without incurring hardware costs or significant network downtime. Another advantage of the ring/mesh design approach is that spare capacity within the line-switched ring can be utilized by the mesh network, and spare capacity within the mesh network can be utilized by the line-switched ring, thereby significantly increasing the spare efficiency.

Title: Digital button telephone system and extension terminal for the same
Inventor: KIMURA SETSUO
IPC: H04M1/715
Filed: 1997-02-13
Abstract: According to this invention, a digital key telephone system connected to an analog public network NW having a function of transmitting a ringing signal including identification information of a calling line through a subscriber line (CO line), accommodating a plurality of extension lines each connected to a digital key telephone (DKT) 2 or a standard telephone (STT) 4 as an extension terminal, and having a function of switching and connecting the subscriber line to the plurality of extension lines or the extension lines to each other includes a called party storage means storing, in advance, information representing the correlation between the calling line and the extension terminals 2 and 4 as a called terminal. When a ringing signal arrives from the analog communication network NW, calling line identification information (caller ID) contained in the ringing signal is detected by a calling line identification information interface unit (RCIU) 12. A control unit (RCTU) 16 determines the called extension terminal on the basis of the detected caller ID and the information stored in the storage means, so the extension terminal receives the call from the digital key telephone interface unit (RDKU) 13 or a standard telephone interface unit (RSTU) 15.

Patent CA-2348329-A1 (CA)
Inventor: MCINTYRE JOHN
IPC: G01N29/14
Filed: 2001-05-23
Abstract: Discloses a method for monitoring acoustic wave propagation in a structure using a limited number of acoustic sensors. The transfer function of the structure is measured between each sensor and selected locations remote from the sensor using a known source of acoustic waves, such as a Schmidt hammer. Signals from the acoustic sensors are monitored and when a trigger event is detected, the signals received at the sensors are compensated by the measured transfer function to estimate the signal at source. Tests are applied to the signal at source to decide whether to log the received signals and to assess whether the acoustic event is an event of interest.

Abstract: A piezoelectric optical switch (10) includes a planar Mach-Zehnder optical device having a piezoelectric rib (40) disposed on one or both of the waveguide structures (20, 30). The piezoelectric rib (40) deforms the waveguide structure creating a strain vector that alters the optical path of  the waveguide (20). The piezoelectric rib (40) is offset from the propagatio n path in the waveguide (20). By positioning the piezoelectric rib (40) away from the waveguide, the strain components in the propagation path of the waveguide in the directions perpendicular to the direction of propagation, e.g., in the x-direction and the y-direction, are negligible. Since strains in these directions create birefringence, elimination of these strains will minimize the birefringence. The piezoelectric switch of the present inventio n provides a high extinction ratio and a low power consumption and small switching time expected of piezoelectric devices.

Abstract: An intelligent fluid delivery system and method for controlling fluid delivery and monitoring parameters of fluid usage in a fluid jet printing system. The intelligent fluid delivery system (IFDS) includes the controls and electronic of the base station and fluid bottle. The replaceable base station, or nest, includes a micro-controller, independent of the main controller of the main printing system, for controlling fluid delivery and fluid management. The intelligent fluid delivery system provides a detection mechanism so that it can be ascertained with near certainty that an inserted fluid bottle is an appropriate fluid bottle having a fluid media that is compatible with the fluid jet printing system (e.g., within the specifications of the printing system and suitable for use with the other components of the ink jet printing system). The micro-controller of the intelligent fluid delivery system may be programmed to record and store information relating to the fluid bottle and the fluid media that may be useful when servicing the printing system. The intelligent fluid delivery system also improves the reliability of fluid delivery and fluid management, and hence, the overall performance of the fluid jet printing system by preventing/reducing the use of unknown or non-compatible fluid media. The intelligent fluid delivery system provides an improved fluid delivery system with controlled metering of fluid media, recording capability for the fluid delivery function(s), wireless communication of information between the base station and the fluid bottle, and can also provide communication of status and other information between the base station micro-controller and the main printing system (e.g., OEM  provided) controller.
