Title: Flexible pour garnir des canalisations et des canaux, et procede et dispositif permettant de le produire
Inventor: RABOLD WOLF
IPC: B29C48/151
Filed: 1999-09-10
Abstract: L'invention concerne un flexible destiné à garnir des canalisations et de canaux, ainsi qu'un procédé et un dispositif permettant de le produire. Le flexible comprend une structure enduite, à base de fils de chaîne très élastiques et de fils de trame de moindre élasticité. Ce flexible permet de garnir, pour la première fois, l'intérieur de canalisations présentant des coudes ou des angles marqués, sans formation de plis et en couvrant toute la surface. A cet effet, les fils de chaîne très élastiques sont stabilisés sur des sections droites de canalisations, par un fil de guipage et présentent ainsi un allongement limité, de manière que le flexible puisse être placé conformément aux normes de qualité dans la canalisation concernée. Dans des canalisations coudées, la grande élasticité du fil de chaîne de base est activée par une augmentation de la force intervenant lors du passage à travers ces sections, du fait que les forces exercées par le fil de guipage sont augmentées, afin que le flexible épouse dans ces zones toute la surface de la paroi intérieure du tube, sans formation de plis. Le fil très élastique peut être enduit grâce à une nouvelle technique d'enduction.

Abstract: A system and method for interacting with a computer using utterances, speech processing and natural language processing. The system comprises a speech processor for searching a first grammar file for a matching phrase for the utterance, and for searching a second grammar file for the matching phrase if the matching phrase is not found in the first grammar file. The system also includes a natural language processor for searching a database for a matching entry for the matching phrase; and an application interface for performing an action associated with the matching entry if the matching entry is found in the database. The system utilizes context-specific grammars, thereby enhancing speech recognition and natural language processing efficiency. Additionally, the system adaptively and interactively "learns" words and phrases, and their associated meanings.

Abstract: An optical fiber preform 2 having a viscosity ratio R.eta. = .eta.o/.eta.t of 2.5 or less between the core average viscosity .eta.o and the total average viscosity .eta.t is prepared, and is drawn by a drawing furnace 11 so as to yield an optical fiber 3, which is then heated to a temperature within a predetermined range so as to be annealed by a heating furnace 21 disposed downstream the drawing furnace 11. Here, upon annealing in the heating furnace 21, the fictive temperature Tf within the optical fiber lowers, thereby reducing the Rayleigh scattering loss . At the same time, the viscosity ratio condition of R.eta. <=2.5 restrains the stress from being concentrated into the core, thereby lowering the occurrence of structural asymmetry loss and the like . Hence, an optical fiber which can reduce the transmission loss caused by the Rayleigh scattering loss and the like as a whole, and a method of making the same can be obtained.

Title: Optical coupler and method of accessing a transmission fiber
Inventor: TOMITA AKIRA
IPC: H04B10/25
Filed: 1990-12-20
Abstract: An optical bypass switch includes a normal state and a bypass state, a transmission optical fiber having a signal withdrawn therefrom and injected thereto in its normal state so as to be capable of use in a ring or bus architecture. In the bypass state of the switch, the transmission optical fiber is substantially disengaged so that a signal being transmitted thereby can bypass the switch, and in this state optical fibers connected to a transmitter and a receiver of the bypass switch are maintained in a bent attitude so as to allow signals to be withdrawn and injected thereinto. A loop back path, e.g. a connector optical fiber, is provided which allows a path between the transmitter and the receiver to be completed in the bypass state of the bypass switch, and logic circuitry is provided for analyzing signals detected by the receiver which should have originated from the transmitter for evaluating a state of operation of the transmitter, receiver, and connecting means therefor. Whenever the logic circuitry detects a malfunction in any of these elements, e.g. the transmitter, the receiver and connecting structure therefor, the optical bypass switch is kept in its bypass state and prevented from re-engaging the transmission fiber so as to prevent the bypass switch from optically coupling to the transmission fiber when its electro-optic elements are not functioning properly.
