Title: A system and method for managing help desk calls
Inventor: JOSHI RAJIV V
IPC: G06Q50/10
Filed: 2000-10-30
Abstract: A Help Desk tracking method and system tracking problem reports and providing solutions to reported problems. The system includes a primary database, a Problem Record Database for maintaining all the incoming Problem Reports (PRs) from customers. The Problem Records are analyzed in turn, and linked entries are made in a secondary database, the Reference Library Database, with any identified solutions being maintained in a Solutions Database, also included in the Reference Library Database. Each resulting solution can be sent back to the requesting customer via e-mail, through any wireless device or, simply stored in the Reference Library Database as a reference for the appropriate Customer Service Representative (CSR) to report the solution. With each new solution, the Reference Library Database evolves into a Knowledge Management system that may also be used to train Customer Service Representatives. Further, the date and time stamp of each of the Problem Records is verified periodically, to insure that links are no more than one week old. Thus, problems and respective matched solutions are not allowed to become stale.

Abstract: The effect of polarization mode dispersion that an optical signal experiences as it propagates through an optical transmission fiber is compensated for at a receiver using a birefringent compensator, in which a distortion analyzer repeatedly examines the signal outputted by the compensator and causes the compensator to reduce the effect of such polarization mode dispersion based on the results of such examination.
Patent CA-2327751-A1 (CA)
Inventor: AGRAWAL RAKESH
IPC: C07B63/00
Filed: 2000-12-07
Abstract: A process separates a multicomponent feed by distillation into at least one stream enriched in the most volatile component, one stream enriched in the least volatile component, and one stream enriched in a component of intermediate volatility.  In one embodiment, the process produces an argon-enriched stream from a cryogenic air separation process. The distillation system includes at least one distillation column that produces a nitrogen-enriched stream from the top of the column, an oxygen product stream from the bottom of the column, and an argon-enriched stream from a partitioned section. The geometry of the partitioned section minimizes vapor and liquid maldistribution, and includes a vertical separating element and an end separating element to isolate the partitioned section from the intermediate distillation section. The equivalent diameter (De) of the partitioned section is at least 60% of the ideal diameter (Di) of the partitioned section, wherein the equivalent diameter is defined as four times the cross sectional flow area enclosed by the vertical separating element divided by the perimeter formed by the vertical separating element, and the ideal diameter (Di) is the diameter of a circle which has the same cross sectional flow area as that cross sectional flow area which is enclosed by the vertical separating element.

Abstract: High power semiconductor lasers for pumping fiber devices, such as fiber amplifiers and fiber lasers, include an optical gain region disposed between a rear end and the output end, the width of the optical gain region being greater at the output end than at the rear end. The optical gain region may include a single mode channel region coupled to a flared amplifier region. The light output from the laser is coupled via a lens system into a fiber for propagating to the fiber device to be pumped. Light is fedback into the laser, for example from a fiber Bragg grating, to induce the laser to operate in coherence collapse. The broad bandwidth output associated with coherence collapse permits the laser to deliver high optical powers into the fiber without the onset of stimulated Billion scattering. Fiber grating feedback improves the quality of the beam output by the laser, thus enhancing coupling efficiency into the fiber. The pump laser may be used to pump multiple fiber devices.  Multiple pump lasers may be combined together.
