Patent EP-1273948-A3 (EP)
Inventor: NGO HUNG VIET
IPC: G02B6/44
Filed: 2002-07-05
Abstract: A single-piece guide boot (1) for a fiber optic ribbon cable (90) includes
an angled section (10) and a straight section (20) or termination
plug. The guide boot comprises an outer sleeve or body (15) that defines
an inner passageway (40), and has a first end (12) for receiving the cable
and a termination port (17). The inner passageway (40) is dimensioned to
allow a user to insert a cable through the passageway. The body (15) with
the inner passageway is used for guiding, bending, and/or twisting the
cable. The body (15) is angled at the desired angle (or radius of curvature),
such as about 45 degrees or about 90 degrees. The body could have an
outer diameter that decreases toward the first end (12). The inner passageway
(40) could be tapered to allow the cable to twist along the length
of the boot without interference. The cable is inserted into the guide boot
and through a cut-out window (14), at which time it is twisted or otherwise
rotated. The cable is then re-inserted through the window (14) and
through the termination port (17) of the termination plug (20).

Abstract: Embodiments of the invention include an optical fiber device (10) such as a
modulator, variable attenuator or tunable filter including an optical fiber having a core
region (12), a cladding layer (14) around the core region, and a controllable active
material (18) disposed in, for example, capillaries (16) or rings (24) formed the
cladding layer. The active materials include, for example, electro-optic material,
magneto-optic material, photorefractive material, thermo-optic material and/or
materials such as laser dyes that provide tunable gain or loss. The application of, for
example, temperature, light or an electric or magnetic field varies optical properties of
the active material, which, in turn, varies or affects the propagation properties of
optical signals in the device. The optical device includes a tapered region (22) that
causes the core mode to spread into the cladding region and, simultaneously, allows
the active material to be relatively close to the propagated modes, thus allowing
interaction between the active material and the propagating modes.

Abstract: A heating faucet 1 according to the present invention
comprises a water supply line 3 connected to a faucet 2 to supply
water, and a heating unit 4 mounted in midstream of the water
supply line 3 to heat water. The heating unit 4 heats water
traveling through the water supply line 3. The heating unit
4 requires only small space when installed, thus enabling
effective use of the limited lavatory space within the aircraft.
The cost of the heating faucet 1 as a whole is cut down, and
the heating unit 4 can be easily mounted to the water supply
line 3.

Abstract: An X-ray CT examination using a radiation examining
apparatus (40) corresponding to an X-ray CT is effected on an
unbreathing examinee. A tomogram creating apparatus (38) creates
a first tomogram, based on an X-ray detect signal outputted
from a corresponding radiation detector (44) of the
radiation examining apparatus (40). An X-ray CT examination
and a PET examination using a radiation examining apparatus
(1) are effected on the breathing examinee. The tomogram creating
apparatus (38) creates a second tomogram, based on an
X-ray detect signal outputted from a corresponding radiation
detector (4) of the radiation examining apparatus and creates
a third tomogram, based on a γ-ray detect signal outputted
from the corresponding radiation detector (4). Correction
information is created based on the first and second
tomograms. The third tomogram is corrected using the correction
information. Therefore, the corrected third tomogram can
be obtained which is not affected by a swing produced with
breathing.
