Abstract: In microwave energised ultraviolet bulbs, much of the input energy is converted to heat
emissions. It has been found that the efficiency of such a bulb can be optimised by
monitoring power density of different portions of the UV spectrum (for example, UVA
and UVC) and adjusting input power to the bulb and/or the bulbs temperature
accordingly. This may be used not only to improve efficiency of the bulb but also to
improve the efficiency of emissions at either UVA or UVC. A control system and
suitable control parameters are described.

IPC: G06F17/50
Filed: 2002-09-23
Abstract: There is disclosed a system for designing circuits which involves pre-placing
delay elements between circuit components susceptible to shoot-through due to
effects of clock skew, each delay element having a physical form and at least
one input terminal and at least one output terminal; determining which delay
elements are not critical in preventing shoot-through; removing non-critical
delay elements from the circuit; and replacing each removed delay element with
a cell having a physical form equivalent to the physical form of the removed
delay element and a wire connection between an input and an output of the cell
equivalent to an input and output of the delay element. This wire cell has the
effect of removing the delay element from the circuit without having to
reposition the circuit components. This has the result that it is not necessary to
re-position circuit components on the removal of delay elements and then to re-evaluate
the circuit performance. Circuit design can be significantly improved.

Abstract: An architecture provides the ability to create and maintain multiple instances of
virtual servers, such as virtual filers (vfilers), within a server, such as a filer. A vfiler is
a logical partitioning of network and storage resources of the filer platform to establish
an instance of a multi-protocol server. Each vfiler is allocated a subset of dedicated
units of storage resources, such as volumes or logical sub-volumes (qtrees), and one or
more network address resources. Each vfiler is also allowed shared access to a file
system resource of a storage operating system. To ensure controlled access to the
allocated and shared resources, each vfiler is further assigned its own security domain
for each access protocol. A vfiler boundary check is performed by the file system to
verify that a current vfiler is allowed to access certain storage resources for a requested
file stored on the filer platform.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus for performing biometric identification or verification of identities using optical spectroscopy of tissue. Tissue optical spectra can be obtained by projecting optical radiation into skin and capturing the light transmitted or reflected back and out through the tissue. The tissue spectra collected preferably includes primarily light that has passed through skin tissue below the epidermis. Multiple tissue spectra and identities can be collected from one or more individuals. These tissue spectra can be analyzed on a computer, and the spectral features that are most important for classifying person-to-person differences can be established using principle component analysis, linear discriminant analysis, or a variety of other related techniques. One or more tissue spectra and identities can be collected from individuals for whom identification or verification may later be desired. A target individual seeking identification or verification can submit a suitable tissue site for spectroscopic measurement. In addition a target individual seeking identity verification can submit a purported identity using some means such as a typed user name, PIN code, magnetic card, transponder, etc. Similarity between the target spectrum and the spectrum or spectra in the enrolled spectral database with respect to the inter-person classification spectral features is determined and identification or verification is granted based on the degree of similarity.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un amplificateur optique actif dans lequel un amplificateur optique individuel, constitué d'une puce individuelle optiquement transparente qui a été dopée pour être optiquement active, amplifie des photons de signal entrants lorsqu'il est excité par un laser de pompage d'énergie suffisante. L'amplificateur optique individuel reçoit des photons d'entrée et de l'énergie du laser de pompage et fournit des photons de sortie possédant la même orientation spatiale et la même phase que les photons d'entrée correspondants. On peut construire un radar laser (LADAR) à partir de l'amplificateur optique actif en ajoutant une première optique d'imagerie pour faire converger les photons d'entrée sur la surface de l'amplificateur optique individuel et une seconde optique d'imagerie pour faire converger les photons de sortie de l'amplificateur optique individuel actif à un réseau de capteurs d'images à plan focal. Les signaux électroniques provenant du réseau de capteurs d'images à plan focal peuvent ensuite être affichés sur un afficheur classique. Plusieurs puces amplificatrices individuelles optiquement transparentes sont disposées en pile, chaque puce recevant un signal de pompage, et la pile fournit l'amplification des photons d'entrée.

IPC: H01J9/395
Filed: 2002-11-08
Abstract: The invention relates to methods of manufacturing gas-discharge electron lamps, and neon tubes in particular. According to the invention, it is proposed, prior to carrying out vacuum treatment of the internal space of an electron lamp (1), to mount at least one of said glass capsules (2) in exhaust tube (5), in close proximity to an exposed electrode in such manner that the opening provided in metal container (4) is facing the working area of the lamp (1). Upon carrying out vacuum treatment and filling the internal space with an inert gas, the portion of exhaust tube (5) that contains capsule (2) disposed within metal container (4) is separated from evacuation unit (10), and this area is subjected to the local effect of a high-power electromagnetic radiation, thereby causing substantially instantaneous heating of metal container (4), which results in a rupture of glass capsule (2) and intense evaporation of the liquid mercury, thereby resulting in a directional flow of pure mercury vapor, which flow rapidly fills up said internal space of the tube through the opening provided in metal container (4). Such method permits to provide environmentally safe production and to eliminate contamination of mercury inside the working space of a lamp, which in turn allows carrying out precise dosing and introduction of calculated minimal amounts of mercury. In addition, the inventive method does not require application of special electrodes and might be used in any mass manufacture of commercial products, and neon tubes in particular.
