Patent CA-2343529-A1 (CA)
Title: Antimicrobial acrylic material
Inventor: WATTERSON ROBERT S III
IPC: C08L33/08
Filed: 1999-09-08
Abstract: An acrylic material having antimicrobial characteristics that inhibit bacterial growth includes an acrylic polymer and an antimicrobial agent incorporated therein. The acrylic polymer is a conventional acrylonitrile compound. The antimicrobial agent is incorporated into the amorphous zones of the molecular structure of the acrylic polymer. When the acrylic material is formed using conventional techniques, the antimicrobial additive is incorporated into the amorphous zones of the molecular structure of the acrylic polymer using a solubilizing agent carrier, thereby incorporating the antimicrobial agent into the acrylic polymer. The antimicrobial additive in the acrylic material, incorporated in the manner above, results in substantive controlled migration from within the acrylic material to the surface of the acrylic material, until a point of equilibrium is reached.

Patent CA-2347714-A1 (CA)
Title: Wireless optical communications without electronics
Inventor: DAVIDOVICH LEONID
IPC: H04B10/2581
Filed: 1999-09-14
Abstract: A system for exchanging optical signals between two separate locations. Each location is provided with a transceiver that includes a transmitter and a receiver. Both the transmitter and the receiver are based on a transceiver unit, used as a transmitter unit in the transmitter and as a receiver unit in the receiver. The transceiver unit includes a multimode optical waveguide and imaging optics that collimates the light emerging from the waveguide in the transmitter implementation of the unit and that focuses incoming light onto the waveguide in the receiver implementation of the unit. The waveguide is terminated by a FC/APC to suppress reflections at the waveguide/air interface.  In each transceiver, the units are mounted in clusters, with their optical axes all parallel. Transmitter units of a transmitter cluster are optically coupled via a splitter to a common input waveguide, possibly via one or more optical amplifiers. Receiver units of a receiver cluster are optically coupled via a combiner to a common output waveguide. Alternatively, the receiver includes an airlink receiver to convert incoming optical signals to electronic signals and a converter unit to convert the electronic signals back to optical signals. The common waveguides in turn are optically coupled to network interface units at each location. Transceivers are aimed at each other to exchange optical signals between the two locations.
