Patent CA-2307248-A1 (CA)
Title: Optical switch
Inventor: PAIAM REZA
IPC: H01S5/022
Filed: 2000-04-27
Abstract: An optical switch is disclosed which operates as binary or digital switch. Two glass waveguides are arranged in an X-like pattern such that they approach each other at a waist region without crossing over one another. A polymer region contacts both waveguides at this waist region and has a refractive index that can be changed more than that of the adjacent glass by applying heat. The refractive index of the polymer can be varied from an index which is same as the glass waveguides; to be less than that of the glass in which case the polymer acts as a cladding. When the index of the polymer is lower than that of the glass through the application of heat, light launched into one of the waveguides continues along the waveguide via total internal reflection and no light crosses the glass polymer boundary. When the index of the polymer is the same as the glass light propagates through the polymer from the first waveguide and crosses the polymer boundary so that switching occurs from the first waveguide to the second.

Title: Organoclay/polymer compositions with flame retardant properties
Inventor: KAIZERMAN JACOB
IPC: C01B33/44
Filed: 2000-06-14
Abstract: The present invention is directed to polymer compositions with flame retardant properties that are made from a polymer blended using a defined process with a smectite clay that has been reacted with a specified mixture of organic materials.      The inventive compositions have the property that when the organically modified clay is added to the polymer, a composite results which has flame-retardant properties and is based on the finding that degree of dispersion of a smectite organoclay in a polymer matrix will give the compositions flame-retardant properties. Further, it has been found that it is very important to proper functioning of the flame retardant polymer compositions that they have the organoclay dispersed in the polymer such that it is not completely exfoliated.

Abstract: The switching array (60) with n inputs and p outputs, where p is greater than n, comprises a plurality of switching organs, each having one input and at least two outputs, and allowing the transfer of a signal applied to the organ input to only one output. Each input (E1, ..., E5) of the array is connectable to one of r outputs, eg. (E1) to (S1, ..., S5), among p outputs. The switching organs (101, 102, 103, 104) are in the form of integrated circuits for superhigh frequency domain, and are mounted so that, when a switching is carried out and the same input is connected to another output, the losses due to traversed switching organs remain of substantially the same value. The array comprises, for each input, a set of switching organs (621, 622) for connecting one input and r outputs, and for each output, a set of switching organs (62'1, 62'2) for connecting r inputs to one output. The sets of switching organs associated with outputs are mounted in opposition to those associated with inputs, but are of analogous structure. The application of switching array is for replacing an electronic element broken down and connected to one output of the array, by another element connected to another output of the array.

Title: Method of bonding a layer of material to a substrate
Inventor: WILLIAMS LARRY E
IPC: B23K26/20
Filed: 2000-12-18
Abstract: An improved method of bonding a layer of material to a substrate is provided in which a laser beam is used to generate heat in a local area on the composite. The heat from the laser beam activates an adhesive to bond the layer to the substrate. Alternatively, the heat from the laser beam locally melts either or both of the substrate and the layer to create the bond. When the bond is created along a closed path, the heat from the laser may also cause the layer to puff away from the substrate.  The invention can be used for a variety of purposes such as creating decorative features on greeting cards to give them a novel look and feel.
Patent CA-2330729-A1 (CA)
Inventor: LIOU KANG-YIH
IPC: H04B10/43
Filed: 2001-01-10
Abstract: Data loss is reduced and bandwidth efficiency improved while tuning an optical add/drop device comprising a hitless wavelength-tunable optical filter. The hitless wavelength-tunable optical filter includes a broadband reflective surface and a tunable filter surface, the reflective surface and filter surface positioned adjacent to each other. Hitless tuning of the device is accomplished by changing the point at which an optical beam strikes the filter surface along a constant wavelength channel track whenever the beam is incident to the filter surface region. Realignment to a position associated with a new wavelength channel track is performed with the optical beam incident to the reflective surface region. Repositioning the optical beam to the filter region occurs at a location corresponding to the new wavelength to be added/dropped and subsequent optical beam realignment within the filter region is along the new wavelength channel track.

Title: Vehicle transmission apparatus
Inventor: SZYMKOWIAK ZBIGNIEW
IPC: F16H48/11
Filed: 2001-01-24
Abstract: The ATV transmission includes an epicyclic arrangement, which serves as a drive-differential. One road wheel is geared to the planet-carrier or spider, and the other to the ring gear, while the engine drives the sun. An idler-gear between the ring and its road wheel means that the ring and the spider rotate in opposite senses, whereby a large gear ratio between the sun and the road wheels can be provided. Steering of the vehicle is provided, by driving the road wheels at different speeds. This is accomplished using a steer-differential, which is identical to the drive-differential; rotating the sun of the steer-differential imposes a corresponding differential speed on the road wheels.
