Patent CA-2053022-A1 (CA)
Inventor: HEIDEMANN ROLF
IPC: H04B10/25
Filed: 1991-10-08
Abstract: In a reflective optical modulator (1) light enters through an optical waveguide (2) into a Fabry-Perot resonator (5) which couples it back into the optical waveguide (2).          The modulation is effected by detuning the Fabry-Perot resonator (5).  The Fabry-Perot resonator (5) is here composed of the end face (4) of the optical waveguide (2) through which the light enters and is coupled back and of a first reflective surface (3) disposed opposite this face (4).    When such a reflective optical modulator (1) is employed in a transceiver module (40), the light entrance surface of a photodiode (11) is the first reflective surface (3).    The first reflective surface (3) is disposed on a flexural or compression-type resonator (8).  The resonator length (x) can also be detuned by varying the refractive index between the two reflective surfaces (3, 4).

Title: Reduced calorie fat mimetics comprising esterified propoxylated monoglycerides and diglycerides
Inventor: SEKULA BERNARD C
IPC: A23L25/10
Filed: 1991-10-15
Abstract: The present invention relates to esterified propoxylated monoglycerides (EPMG) and diglycerides (EPDG) and reduced calorie food products comprising said compounds. Both EPMG and EPDG can be produced in a variety of forms including a liquid form, and can therefore be used for a variety of applications. These compounds are useful as partial or full substitutes for vegetable and other liquid oils, for purposes such as salad oils, cooking oils, anti-spattering or pan-release agents, or as ingredients in products such as mayonnaise, salad dressings, margarines, shortenings and peanut butter.      Additionally, these compounds can withstand exposure to heat, and are therefore useful for baking, frying, sauteing and other related applications.

Abstract: Neotrehalose is prepared in a relatively high-yield by a process comprising allowing .beta.-galactosidase to act on a solution containing lactoneotrehalose to form neotrehalose and recoverying the resultant neotrehalose. The neotrehalose is a non-reducing oligosaccharide having a satisfiable stability and a rich- and high-quality-sweetness and is assimilated and utilized as energy source in vivo when orally administered.      Neotrehalose in the form of crystal has a satisfiable handleability because it is readily soluble in water and substantially free of hygroscopicity. These render neotrehalose very useful in the fields of food-, cosmetic- and pharmaceutical-industries.

Filed: 1991-05-20
Abstract: This invention belongs to a technical field relating to a laser robot and its control method, and more particularly makes it possible to weave a laser beam easily and accurately without disposing an oscillating condenser lens or the like on an arm tip portion.  In the laser robot RB of this invention, a first inclined mirror (41a) is fitted to a motor (42a) at a predetermined angle of inclination from a plane perpendicular to the rotor shaft. A second inclined mirror (41b) is likewise fitted to the motor (42b) at a predetermined angle of inclination. A laser beam (LB) emitted from a laser oscillator (8) is sequentially reflected at the first and second inclined mirrors (41a) and (41b) in the laser robot (RB) and directed toward a work through the tip of a torch (7). A  weaving mode of the laser beam (LB) is selected by controlling the rotating directions, the number of revolutions and the rotating phases of the first and second inclined mirrors (41a) and (41b).

Abstract: A system and method of optimising transmission of a program to multiple users over a distribution system, with particular application to video-on-demand for a CATV network (36). The system includes, at a head end of the CATV network (36) a scheduling and routing computer (30) for dividing the video program stored in long term fast storage (16) or short term fast storage (18) into a plurality of program segments, and a subscriber distribution node (24) for transmitting the program seg-ments in a redundant sequence in accordance with a scheduling algo-rithm. At a receiver (40) of the CATV network (36) there is provided a buffer memory (42) for storing the transmitted video program segments for subsequent playback whereby, in use, the scheduling algorithm can ensure that a user's receiver (40) will receive all of the program segments in a manner that will enable continuous playback in real time of the pro-gram. Under the control of controller (52) the receiver (40) distinguishes received program segments by a segment identifier so that redundant segments captured in capture memory (46) are then stored in buffer memory (42) from which the segments can be retrieved and decom-pressed in data decompressor (50) for immediate or subsequent viewing.

Title: Device for dispensing wire, cable or the like
Inventor: LANOUE MICHEL
IPC: B65H75/44
Filed: 1992-05-15
Abstract: The disclosure describes herein a box within which is mounted a reel having a supply of wire, cable or the like to be dispensed. An opening is provided in one of the walls of the box to allow the egress of one end of the strand. A cover securely contains the reel within the box. Also mounted within the box is a brake device which has a portion slidingly contacted by the strand prior to egressing from the box. An external pull on the strand frees interengageable elements on the brake device and on one of the side plates of the reel from blocking rotation of the reel in one direction. As soon as a pull is no longer exerted on the strand, a resilient element on the brake device urges the elements to interengage to thereby stop rotation of the reel. <IMAGE>

Title: Intravascular pressure posture detector
Inventor: RIFF KENNETH M
IPC: A61B5/0215
Filed: 1991-01-18
Abstract: Apparatus and method for detecting changes in the posture of a patient. Two pressure sensors (32, 36) are chronically implanted at different places (12, 14) in the cardiovascular system. One may be positioned in the right heart (12), for example, and the other placed in the inferior vena cava (14). The positioning is selected for ease of chronic implantation. However, the positions chosen must be such that the differences in pressure with changes in posture are differentially measurable. The differences in pressure changes (90, 92, 94) sensed at the two positions enable electronic circuitry (106) to determine changes in posture of the patient. These changes in posture may be used to indicate associated physiological changes such as increased or decreased demand on the cardiovascular system or changes in other homeostatic functions.  Compensation for this changing cardiovascular or other homeostatic functions may be partially met through increasing or decreasing the escape interval (108) of a demand cardiac pacemaker (22) or by altering the drug delivery regimen of an implantable drug dispenser.
