Abstract: A wavelength division multiplex (WDM) optical telecommunications network comprises a plurality of nodes interconnected by optical fiber waveguides. Communication traffic is communicated between nodes by optical radiation modulated with the communication traffic, the radiation being partitioned into aplurality (N) of wavelength channels each channel having a discrete non-overlapping waveband. Each node drops at least one of the wavelength channels to thereby define a connection to the node and adds at least one wavelength channel to the network to define a connection to another node of the network. The network is characterized is that at least one node has ascribed to it a fixed subset of the N wavelength channels and drops each of the wavelength channels of the fixed subset from the network. The node further comprises a wavelength selectable transmitter capable of adding one or more of at least any of the remaining wavelength channels other than the subset to the network to define a connection to another node of the network.

Abstract: A transmission shift interlock device (12) which prevents a motor vehicle operator from shifting the automatic transmission shift lever (16) out of the park or neutral position unless some action such as the brake pedal being depressed is taken. The device (12) provides interlock capability by locking the transmission shift cable (22). An in-line solenoid (12) is provided within the shifter cable (22) having a movable armature (54) which, when energized, forces locking balls (86) or other engagement features into interlocking engagement with the cable core (29) or rod member (28) attached thereto. An alternate embodiment provides an automatic adjusting means for accommodating vehicle tolerance variations and further provides means for having interlock capabilities at more than one shifter position.

Abstract: A stereophonic sound reproduction system is aimed at synthesizing at a multiplicity of points (L) in the listening space. An auditory effect obtaining at corresponding points (K) in the recording space, to compensate for crosstalk (C21, C12) between the loudspeakers, the acoustic response of the listening space, and imperfections in the frequency response of the speaker channels. Each speaker channel incorporates a digital filter (H) with the characteristics of which are adjusted in response to measurements of the reproduced field. The digital filters are provided by an inverse filter matrix (H) of which the matrix elements (Hij) are determined by a least squares technique, applied so as to minimize the sum of the squared errors resulting from the difference between the actual system impulse response and a desired impulse response. A full bandwidth signal is transmitted by a bypass route for combination with the output signal (9) from the filter, the bypass route including a delay means (F).

The surface terminates at one end with an edge over which a leading end of the fabric passes. An optical device defines a plane extending downwardly from the surface edge at approximately 41.5 degrees. The optical device detects when the plane is intersected by the leading end of the fabric when, after a sufficient length of the piece of fabric has passed beyond the surface edge to cause bending of the fabric piece, the leading edge of the fabric intersects the plane.

Abstract: A method of continuously digesting comminuted cellulosic fibrous material (e.g. wood chips) is provided which simultaneously improves uniformity of the end product and has substantial energy economy. The chips are slurried, e.g. with black liquor, and fed to the top of a vertical digester. In the digester the chips are soaked in and heated with black liquor withdrawn from near the bottom of the cooking zone, which black liquor is at cooking temperature. White liquor (kraft cooking liquor) introduced into the cooking zone is preheated by passing it in heat exchange relationship with a portion of the black liquor withdrawn from the digester, so that only a small amount of heat in the form of steam need be added to the white liquor to bring it to cooking temperature. At the top of the digester, a portion of the liquid in the slurry can be withdrawn through a screen, pressurized, and then introduced under pressure with a downward velocity component facilitating a zone of concurrent movement of the chips and liquor.

Abstract: An interactive television system where interactive information is inserted in the vertical blanking interval of a standard television signal. The signal is received and decoded by a settop decoder which sends the decoded signal via an infrared signal to a handheld device. The viewer using the handheld device can interact with a game, sports, or educational event or other presentation on the television. The system includes a proprietary high level command language and programmer (PIU) tables which are maintained in the memory of the handheld device. The PIU tables store the transactions of the various events presented on the television. The transactions are sent from the insertion system to the decoder throughout the broadcast of the television program. Thus, for a sports event with interleaved commercials, one or more of the PIU tables would be used to store a collection of transactions used for the main event and one or more additional PIU tables are used for storing transactions for each of the interleaved commercials. This system allows a viewer to enter and exit any event at any time without having to wait for information to be downloaded and without losing any scores. Further, the system allows the user to change from event to event such as, for example, by tuning to different stations and be able to immediately interact and have responses scored and stored.
