Inventor: ARAKI SOICHIRO
IPC: H04B10/27
Filed: 2001-10-31
Abstract: An optical cross-connecting device is small in scale of a switch even when a wavelength multiplexed signal to be transmitted through an optical fiber is high density and wide range. Switching of the wavelength multiplexed signals is performed in a first optical switch, switching per wavelength group in a second optical switch is performed for only signals required switching for smaller granularity, and switching per wavelength signals in a third optical switch is performed for only signals required switching for smaller granularity to from the opticall cross-connecting device. By this, even when the wavelength multiplexed signal to be transmitted through the optical fiber is high density and wide band, the optical cross-connecting device can be small in scale of a switch.

Patent CA-2380520-A1 (CA)
Title: Rotational impact drill assembly
Inventor: KNULL CRAIG J
IPC: E21B4/10
Filed: 2002-04-05
Abstract: Apparatus is provided for introducing a consistent series of small and localized rotary impacts to a PDC bit during drilling, to improve PDC drill bit performance. Rotary impact supplements the nominal torque supplied by the rotary drive thereby avoiding lockup and potentially damaging energy storage in the drill string following windup, should the bit slow or hang up when drilling in difficult formations. The apparatus comprises a rotary hammer which is rotated about a bit shaft's anvil, preferably by a drilling fluid driven turbine. As the hammer rotates, potential energy is built up. When the hammer and anvil connect, the energy is released into the bit shaft and thus into the bit, increases its instantaneous torque and allows it to more effectively cut through difficult formations.
