Patent EP-0846967-A2 (EP)
Inventor: SAKATA YASUTAKA
IPC: H01S5/026
Filed: 1997-12-04
Abstract: There is provided an optical semiconductor device comprising an optical
waveguide structure including a quantum well layer (22) and an optical
confinement layer (21, 23) as a core layer, the core layer having a thickness
varying in a lengthwise direction of the optical waveguide to thereby have a
function of spot-size conversion, characterized by that the quantum well layer (22)
is designed to have either a band-gap energy which is constant within ±30 meV
in the direction or a thickness which is constant within ±32% in the direction.
The above-mentioned optical semiconductor device makes it possible to an optical
gain to laser oscillation wavelength over all ranges of a resonator, and hence
makes it no longer necessary to form a region only for spot-size conversion (SSC).
This ensures that a device length can be as small as that of a conventional laser
diode.
Patent EP-0812089-A2 (EP)
Inventor: HARRIS PHILLIP E
IPC: H04L12/66
Filed: 1997-05-27
Abstract: In a telecommunications system (8) that comprises communications endpoints (14-15), communications resources (18-20), a communications server (10) that includes a media manager (21), and a network (12) that interconnects them all, a first endpoint (14) provides the media manager with an offer of a connection to a second endpoint (15) that specifies attributes desired for the connection by the first endpoint. The media manager registers the request and forwards it to the second endpoint. When the second endpoint responds with an acceptance of the connection that specifies attributes desired for the connection by the second endpoint, the media manager compares the registered offer with the received acceptance to determine any resources that are needed to bridge any differences between their attributes and to effect the connection. The media manager then marshals any needed resources for the connection, sends a modified acceptance to any marshaled resource telling it the address of the second endpoint to connect to, sends a modified acceptance to the first endpoint that tells it the address of any marshaled resource, or of the second endpoint in the absence of any marshaled resource, to connect to, and leaves it up to the endpoints and marshaled resources to interact with the network to effect the connection through the network. The media manager can therefore provide centralized call control for substantially any network, and can treat all networks generically and leave it up to the endpoints to deal with the particulars of any specific network. Communications between multiple such telecommunications systems (8, 9) can also be effected thereby.

Abstract: The filaments of a false twisted multifilament textile yarn (14) are intermingled to increase their cohesion, and the residual torque in the yarn (14) is reduced, by forwarding the yarn (14) along a yarn path (11) through a duct (2, 13) in a nozzle body (10, 12), and directing a fluid flow (8, 9, 18) into the duct (2) transversely of the yarn path (11) with the yarn path (11) centrally disposed relative to the fluid flow (8, 9, 18) to intermingle the filaments and simultaneously directing the fluid flow (8, 9) to swirl around the yam path (11) to reduce the residual torque. This is achieved by directing two fluid flows (8,9) in opposed, overlapping directions but offset relative to each other, or by directing the fluid flow (18) towards a base surface (17) of the duct (13) which is planar and inclined laterally of the duct (13) out of the perpendicular (21) to the direction (20) of fluid flow (18). A yarn threading slot (6, 22) extends longitudinally of the body (10, 12) and communicates with the duct (2, 13) and the exterior of the body (10, 12). The slot (6, 22) has a curved profile between the duct (2, 13) and an enlarged inlet (3, 24) at the exterior of the body (10, 12).

Abstract: The operating system for a roller shutter comprises a support plate affixed to one of the faces of the shutter caisson. This plate has an internal curved surface able to receive a casing (15,16) containing conical gear units (7,8). The gears in each unit mesh with the hoist and crank shafts respectively. The curved surface of the plate enables its angular displacement about a median position of one of the units. The plate curved surface, opposite the units, has several uniformly distributed grooves which form a rack. The rack ensures axial positioning of one unit relative to the other between minimum and maximum values.

Abstract: Method for the extension of the coverage area of a fixed transceiver
station (RFP) belonging to a system of the Time Division Multiple
Access, or TDMA, type which includes a plurality of these stations (RFP)
connected via radio with portable user parts (PP). 
This method may advantageously be applied in any system of TDMA
type where the channels may be grouped as time/frequency matrix, as
happens for example in the DECT system. 
The method provides the steps of:
   a) connecting with this fixed transceiver station a number N of sectorial
antennas (SA) through a switching device (SW);   b) subdividing, in static or dynamic manner, this matrix of channels in N
sectors;   c) activating, in absence of active connection-oriented or connectionless
traffic channels, a dummy channel for each sector;   d) transmitting, on each dummy channel or active traffic channel of a
sector, specific system information which inhibits the access of the
portable parts (PP) to channel allocated in a different sector of the
channels matrix from the one to which the received channel belongs.

Abstract: A motion-detecting solid-state image sensor (10) includes
a matrix of picture elements (1) arranged in rows and columns,
each picture element (1) having a light detector (PD) and being
associated with a readout line (2a,2b) arranged along a column
of the matrix. Associated with each readout line (2a,2b) is a
digital-output comparator (7a,7b) for comparing an initial
output signal, representative of light detected at a given
picture element (1) for the (N-1)th time frame, with a present
output signal, representative of light detected at the give
picture element (1) for the Nth time frame. The digital output
comparators (7a,7b) output one logic level if the initial and
present output signals differ by more than a given threshold,
and another logic level otherwise. The outputs of each
comparator (7a,7b) are output in series from a horizontal
output line (12), optionally by way of a shift register. The
image sensor (10) may also include a video signal generator,
arranged to receive signals from the output lines, in parallel
with the comparators (7a,7b), so that both motion detection and
video output may be generated simultaneously. The video signal
generator may subtract a dark current signal, individually,
from the image signal of each picture element (1) to improve
image quality. If desired, the individual picture elements (1)
may have filters to render the individual elements (1)
sensitive to one of a set of colors of incident light.

Abstract: An oscillator circuit for preventing noise from occurring
in an output clock signal is provided. The oscillator circuit
contains an amplifying unit and a control signal generator.
The amplifying unit contains a first amplifying circuit having
a first gain and a second amplifying circuit having a second
gain connected in parallel. The amplifying unit inputs an
oscillating input signal and amplifies it based on an overall
gain of the amplifier unit to produce an oscillating output
signal. The first control signal generator inputs an input
control signal and generates an output control signal, and the
operational state of the first amplifying circuit is switched
when a value of the output control signal switches. The
overall gain is based on the first gain when the first
operational state of the first amplifying circuit is an
enabled state and is not based on the first gain when the
operational state of the first amplifying circuit is a
disabled state. Also, the control signal generator delays
switching the value of the output control signal in response
to a switching of a value of the input control signal so that
noise generated when the value of the input control signal
switches does not influence the oscillating output signal.
