On produit des premières données de programme comprenant des données de correction configurées de façon hiérarchique et correspondant à l'agencement décrit hiérarchiquement, en réponse à l'opération d'agencement, de sorte qu'on générerait une sortie comprenant des données représentant le résultat de l'exécution de l'opération sur l'agencement, si on appliquait ces premières données (860) de programme à l'agencement aplani (865). Simultanément au maintien de ces premières données de programme dans un véritable format hiérarchique, il est possible de traiter les agencements sur lesquels on a effectué des opérations d'après ce procédé, par l'intermédiaire de vérificateurs classiques (850) de règles de conception. De plus, il est possible d'appliquer ce procédé à tous types d'agencements, y compris des agencements présentant des champs clairs et sombres ou des déphasages.

Abstract: Conjointement avec une procédure de transfert à gestion de diversité s'appliquant à un système cellulaire à transfert en continuité, l'attribution d'une unité de substitution de traitement en diversité dans un noeud cible n'intervient qu'après prise de décision du transfert par un noeud source. Au départ, une unité de traitement en diversité source ou d'origine exécute, au niveau du noeud source, des fonctions de groupement et d'éclatement de connexions pour les tronçons d'une connexion mobile acheminés par plusieurs stations de base desservant une station mobile. En fonction du déplacement de la station mobile, le noeud source prend la décision de déplacement. La décision du transfert peut être prise à partir de facteurs tels que l'utilisation de la station de base, et/ou le déplacement directionnel réel et/ou prévu de la station mobile. Selon certaines réalisations, la procédure de transfert à gestion de diversité consiste à sélectionner plusieurs noeuds en fonction du site de l'unité de gestion de diversité cible ou de substitution.

Abstract: A single-mode optical waveguide fiber designed to limit power penalty
due to four wave mixing and a method of making the waveguide is disclosed.
Variations in properties, e.g., radius or refractive index, of the waveguide fiber
core provide a total dispersion which varies along the length of the waveguide.
The algebraic sum of products of length times total dispersion is controlled to a
pre-selected value for each waveguide fiber which makes up a system link.
Proper choice of total dispersion variation magnitude and sub-length results in
a system link wherein a signal travels only short distances in waveguide
portions having total dispersion near zero. However, the variation of the total
dispersion provides a system link which has a pre-selected dispersive effect on
the signal over a selected wavelength range. The dispersive effect on the
signal can be chosen to be essentially zero. A number of techniques for
fabricating DM fiber are also disclosed.

Abstract: The sample (20) is compressed inside a cylindrical mold (17) between two parallel plates (16,19). The axis of the mold X can be inclined relative to the axis perpendicular to the plates Y and the X axis rotated about the Y axis. The mold has an external cylindrical sleeve (40) with axis Y and an internal cylindrical sleeve (43) with axis X, both connected to the plates via bearings. The means of compressing the sample are mounted on the chassis (2) and designed to apply a constant load F on one of the plates along an axis Y perpendicular to the plates. There are also means of controlling the means of compression and turning, and means of measuring the heights of the sample between the plates and the shearing loads on the sample as a function of the number of rotations of the X axis. A container (7) is at the top of the chassis, which has constant rigidity over 360 degrees and openings (11) in its top (10) and bottom (12). The top opening can be closed with a cover (15) which is to be pressed on by the upper plate. The bottom opening allows through a movable element (22) of the means of compression. The means of applying a turning motion comprise an external cylindrical sleeve (40) with axis Y mounted to rotate in the container via bearings (41,42). A cylindrical internal sleeve (43) with axis X is mounted to rotate about an outer mold with axis X intended to receive the mold via bearings (44,45). There are means of driving the external sleeve in rotation and the internal sleeve is mounted inside the external sleeve to oscillate, pivoting about an axis Z perpendicular to X and Y in the plane of the upper plate. The means of inclining the axis X of the mold relative to the axis Y include a system for controlling the angle between the external sleeve and the internal sleeve, mounted in the plane perpendicular to Z. The lower part of the chassis contains a lower plate, an upper plate on which the container is fixed and a number of columns (6) parallel to the Y axis connecting the two plates together. The lower chassis plate supports the means of compression, which comprises a driven worm screw (26) and a cover (22) moving along the Y axis and pressing on the lower compression plate. The cover is guided by rollers (28) acting with the columns and passing through an opening in the upper chassis plate via a bearing (24). A low friction plate is placed between the top of the cover and the lower compression plate. The worm is driven by an electrical servomotor with reduction and a displacement coder. The angle control system includes a vernier and means of measuring the compression achieved.
