Title: Microstructured optical fibres
Inventor: BROENG JES
IPC: G02B6/122
Filed: 1999-05-21
Abstract: The present invention relates to a new class of optical waveguides, in which waveguiding along one or more core regions is obtained through the application of the Photonic Bandgap (PBG) effect. 
     The invention further relates to optimised two-dimensional lattice structures capable of providing complete PBGs which reflect light incident from air or vacuum. Such structures may be used as cladding structures in optical fibres where light is confined and thereby guided in a hollow core region. 
     In addition, the present invention relates to designs for ultra low-loss PBG waveguiding structures, which are easy to manufacture. 
     Finally, the present invention relates to a new fabrication technique which allows easy manufacturing of preforms for photonic crystal fibres with large void filling fractions, as well as a high flexibility in the design of the cladding and core structures.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for monitoring an etch process. The etch process may be monitored using measurement information (e.g., critical dimensions (CD), layer thickness, and the like) provided ex-situ with respect to the etch process in combination with in-situ monitoring (e.g., spectroscopy, interferometry, scatterometry, reflectometry, and the like) performed during the etch process. The ex-situ measurement information in combination with the in-situ monitoring may be used to monitor for example, an endpoint of an etch process, an etch depth profile of a feature formed on a substrate, fault detection of an integrated circuit manufacturing process, and the like.

Abstract: Disclosed is a method for managing a DSS (Digital Slow Shutter)
mode in a monitoring camera. When an iris of the monitoring camera
is maximally opened and a shutter speed is minimum, the DSS mode
is set. In the DSS mode, a video frame inputted in a predetermined
cycle is stored in a memory. A plurality of video frames stored in
the memory are synthesized into a monitoring video frame. The
monitoring video frame is outputted irrespective of a luminance
thereof. When the memory is full of the video frames, an oldest
stored video frame is replaced with a newly inputted video frame.
The monitoring video frame can be consecutively outputted in a
predetermined cycle even though the monitoring camera operates in
the DSS mode. The monitoring video frame based on a bright luminance
level can be outputted, such that a monitoring function is enhanced.

Abstract: An internal combustion engine includes an in-cylinder
injection valve and an intake port injection valve. The
engine is operated in a combustion mode that is selected from
at least stratified lean combustion and homogeneous
combustion. An ECU selects the combustion mode according to
the operational state of the engine, and controls the fuel
injection valves in a fuel injection mode that corresponds to
the selected combustion mode. When a misfire is detected
while the engine is operated in the stratified lean combustion
or the homogeneous combustion, the ECU switches the fuel
injection mode such that the ratio of the amount of fuel
injected from the intake port injection valve to the entire
amount of fuel supplied into the cylinder is increased. As a
result, misfires are suppressed while preventing the fuel
economy from deteriorating.

Abstract: An outgoing transmission carrier frequency at, for example, a remote terminal, may be
adjusted based on a feature rate of an incoming transmission. The adjustment may
compensate for error in the outgoing transmission carrier frequency. The incoming
transmission may be from a satellite or hub, for example. The outgoing transmission may be
the signal that is transmitted by an antenna, or the outgoing transmission may be converted to
be at another carrier frequency such as a higher carrier frequency for ultimate transmission by
an antenna. Also, a remote terminal may be synchronized to a satellite network with or
without knowledge of the remote terminals' geographical location and with or without time
stamps.

Title: Lentille commutable
Inventor: WOODGATE GRAHAM JOHN
IPC: G02B30/30
Filed: 2004-02-04
Abstract: L'invention concerne un dispositif d'affichage qui comporte un réseau de lentilles biréfringentes commutables. Ce dispositif d'affichage produit un signal de sortie polarisé de manière sensiblement linéaire. Le réseau de lentilles comprend une matière biréfringente placée entre une surface plane d'un premier substrat et une surface présentant un relief d'un second substrat, et définit un réseau de lentilles cylindriques. Le réseau de lentilles comporte des électrodes pour appliquer une tension de commande sur la matière biréfringente afin de la commuter électriquement entre un premier mode et un second mode. Dans le premier mode, le réseau de lentilles modifie la distribution directionnelle de la lumière incidente polarisée dans une direction prédéterminée. Dans le second mode, le réseau de lentilles n'a pratiquement pas d'effet sur la lumière incidente polarisée dans cette direction prédéterminée. Dans un premier aspect du premier mode, sur la surface présentant un relief, la matière biréfringente est alignée de manière sensiblement parallèle à l'axe géométrique des lentilles cylindriques ; et sur la surface plane, la matière biréfringente est alignée parallèlement à la surface plane suivant un angle prédéterminé, de sorte que la direction d'alignement pivote entre la surface plane et la surface présentant un relief. Dans un deuxième aspect, l'alignement de la matière biréfringente est homéotrope sur la ou les surfaces présentant un relief. Dans un troisième aspect, le réseau de lentilles est placé entre un modulateur spatial de lumière et le polariseur de sortie du dispositif d'affichage. Dans un quatrième aspect, le réseau de lentilles reçoit la lumière provenant d'un modulateur spatial émetteur de lumière qui est conçu pour produire de la lumière polarisée de manière sensiblement linéaire dans chaque pixel. Dans un cinquième aspect, un organe de commande de tension commande la tension aux bornes des électrodes pour opérer une commutation entre les premier et second modes afin de compenser les variations de température du réseau de lentilles, ce qui permet d'élargir la plage de températures de fonctionnement.
