Inventor: BLOOM DAVID M
IPC: G02B26/08
Filed: 1997-12-05
Abstract: A diffraction grating light valve modulates an incident beam of light. A plurality of elongated elements each have a reflective surface. The elongated elements are suspended with their respective ends substantially coplanar. Alternate ones of the elongated elements are electrically coupled for receiving a first bias voltage. The interdigitated elongated elements are electrically coupled for receiving a second bias voltage. By applying a appropriate first and second biasing voltages, all the reflective surfaces can be maintained in a first plane. When all the elongated elements are in the first plane, the diffraction grating light valve reflects the beam of light. A predetermined group of the elongated elements, preferably alternate ones, are deformable to be substantially coplanar in a second plane which is parallel to the first plane. When the predetermined group of elements is in the second plane, the diffraction grating light valve diffracts the beam of light.

Title: System and method for providing an internet audio stream to a wap mobile telephone or the like over a computer network
IPC: H04L29/06
Filed: 2001-04-04
Abstract: The user of a mobile telephone (10) interacts with an Internet server (22) using the browsing capability of the mobile telephone. If the user requests a real-time audio streaming service, the audio is delivered to the end user through the telephone system (12) using the voice telephony capability of the mobile telephone. For this, the mobile telephone (10) receives instructions which tell it to automatically make a telephone call to an assigned telephone number which is allocated to an audio gateway (28). The gateway is linked to the internet (20) and receives the internet audio, which it converts into a form suitable for interfacing to the telephony network. A pool of telephone numbers is allocated to the gateway (28). When an audio service is requested, a temporary association is made between an unassigned number in the pool and the requested service. The mobile telephone is then instructed to dial this newly associated number in order to connect the user to the requested service. A string of digits may be added to the assigned telephone number to act as a password.
