Patent EP-1361462-A1 (EP)
Inventor: SIGALAS MIHAIL
IPC: G02B6/34
Filed: 2003-01-30
Abstract: A three-dimensional photonic crystal add-drop filter apparatus (50) has a three-dimensional
photonic crystal, a first waveguide (52, 72) for transmitting light having a
frequency within a bandgap of the three-dimensional photonic crystal, and a second
waveguide (54, 74). A resonant cavity (56, 70) couples the light in the first waveguide (52,
72) to the second waveguide (54, 74) for extracting at least one wavelength of the light
transmitted in the first waveguide (52, 72) and redirecting the extracted light to the second
waveguide (54, 74). The apparatus has a full three-dimensional bandgap and thus does not
require total internal reflection to confine the light as is required in a two-dimensional
photonic crystal slab. The waveguides can be made single mode such that only one
polarization is allowed to propagate thus avoiding mixing of the two polarizations.

Abstract: Method and apparatus for constructing diagrams (60) representing the
relationship between variable quantities. According to the method, at
least one first measurement point (61,62,63,64) representing the
relationship between the variable quantities is provided for initially
constructing the diagram (60). Thereafter, at least one location
(71a,72a) is selected at which the relationship between the variable
quantities is to measured, the at least one location (71a,72a) being
selected as a function of the at least one measurement point
(61,62,63,64). The relationship between the variable quantities is then
measured at the at least one location (71a,72a) to provide at least one
additional measurement point (71b,72b) for further constructing the
diagram (60). The invention permits diagrams, such as V Curve diagrams,
Bathtub Curve diagrams and Eye Diagrams, to be constructed in less time
and using fewer measurement points than conventional diagram
construction procedures.

Abstract: The invention provides an apparatus and a method of determining trace
amounts of oxygen in a metal, in particular steel. The analysing
apparatus comprises a preliminary reducing furnace with a tubular
graphite crucible and an analysing furnace with a conventional graphite
crucible. The furnaces are connected via a communication passage
(isolated from the ambient air) that contains means for transferring the
sample from the preliminary reducing to the analysing furnace. The
preliminary reducing furnace is used for reducing oxides on the surface
of the sample prior to introducing it into the graphite crucible located
in the analysing furnace. The oxygen content is determined by analysing
the gas generated by the sample in the heated graphite crucible using
Infra-Red spectroscopy. A metal flux is used for determining a reference
value for the generated gas amount.

Abstract: A phase lock loop circuit (60) has a phase frequency detector
(62), a charge pump (64), an active filter (87) and a voltage-controlled
oscillator (100). The phase detector generates
signals responsive to reference signal F R  and VCO output signal
F V . A charge pump generates a voltage at the input of a first
transmission gate (76) according to the values of the phase
detector signals. A predetermined voltage is generated at the
input of a second transmission gate (112). When the transmission
gates (76, 110) are closed (low impedance) the charge pump may
sink or source current to the inverting input of the operational
amplifier (86) of the active filter 86 and the predetermined
voltage is applied to the non-inverting input. When the
transmission gates are open (high impedance state) the inverting
input is electrically isolated from the node and the non-inverting
output is isolated from the power supply.
