Abstract: Disclosed is a polarization-non-dependent type optical circulator
which has: a plurality of polarization separating/coupling means (13a,13b,13c) where
incident light from outside is separated into two polarized lights with
polarization planes orthogonal to each other when the incident light
is received by a first end portion and two internally transmitted
polarized lights with polarization planes orthogonal to each other are
coupled when the two internally transmitted polarized lights are received
by a second end portion on the opposite side of the first end portion;
a plurality of polarization rotating means (11a,11b,11c,12a,12b,12c), each of which having a first
end portion disposed opposite to the second end portion of the
polarization separating/coupling means (13a,13b,13c) and a second end portion on the
opposite side of the first end portion, where two polarized lights with
polarization planes orthogonal to each other are rotated to have
polarization planes parallel to each other when the two polarized lights
are received by the first portion and two internally transmitted
polarized lights with polarization planes parallel to each other are
rotated to have polarization planes orthogonal to each other when the
two internally transmitted polarized lights are received by the second
end portion; and an optical path determining means (14) which is disposed
on an optical path connected to the second end portion of the plurality
of polarization rotating means (11a,11b,11c,12a,12b,12c) and outputs two polarized lights with

Abstract: A method and apparatus to create, distribute, sell and control
access to digital documents using secure cryptographic envelopes. An
envelope is an aggregation of information parts, where each of the parts
to be protected are encrypted with a corresponding part encryption key.
These encrypted information parts along with the other information parts
become part of the envelope. Each part encryption key is also encrypted
with a public key, and these encrypted part encryption keys are also
included in the envelope. The envelope also includes a list of parts
where each entry in the list has a part name and a secure hash of the
named part. The list is then signed with a secret key to generate a
signature, which is also included in the envelope. The signature can be
verified using a second public key associated with first secret key, and
the integrity of any information part in the envelope can be checked by
computing a second hash and comparing it with the corresponding hash in
the list of parts. Also, the information content of any encrypted part
can only be recovered by knowledge of a second secret key corresponding
to the public key that was used to encrypt the part encryption keys.

Abstract: An air-fuel control system for use with an internal
combustion engine (1) has a catalytic converter (4) in
an exhaust system (A) of the engine, for purifying an
exhaust gas emitted from the engine, a first exhaust gas
sensor (6) in the exhaust system for detecting an air-fuel
ratio of the exhaust gas upstream of the catalytic
converter, and a second exhaust gas sensor (7) in the
exhaust system for detecting the concentration of a
component of the exhaust gas which has passed through
the catalytic converter, downstream of the catalytic
converter. A sliding mode controller (19) determines a
correction quantity at a first period to correct the
air-fuel ratio of the engine so as to equalize the
concentration of the component downstream of the
catalytic converter to a predetermined appropriate
value, according to a sliding mode control process based
on the output from the second exhaust gas sensor. A
feedback controller (17) determines a correction
quantity at a second period for a rate at which fuel is
supplied to the engine so as to converge the
concentration of the component downstream of the
catalytic converter toward the predetermined appropriate
value, based on the correction quantity to correct the
air-fuel ratio and the output from the first exhaust gas
sensor, and feedback-controls the rate at which fuel is
supplied to the engine with the determined correction
quantity. The first and second periods are established
separately from each other.

IPC: G02F1/01
Filed: 1997-04-15
Abstract: Two separate electrooptic phase modulators are used
in a modified Mach-Zehnder interferometer to vary the
absolute and relative optical phases of two orthogonally
polarized modes of an input signal independently of each
other. A conventional Y-branch splitter on lithium
niobate splits the input signal equally into the two
waveguide phase modulators and an external polarization
splitter recombines the two phase modulated signals in
orthogonal polarization states. The polarization in the
interferometer is maintained by connecting the outputs of
the two phase modulators to polarization maintaining
fibers. An alternate embodiment of the present invention
uses an additional 3-dB directional coupler to mix the
two phase modulated signals before they are combined in
orthogonal polarization states.

Abstract: The present invention is an optical monitoring and test access interconnection
module especially adapted for use with a fiber optic distribution frame for a fiber optic
communications system. The interconnection module provides a combination of
monitoring and test access for two fiber lines, typically a transmit/receive pair, where
wavelength division multiplexer (WDM) test access is provided to both the transmit and
receive fibers. In one embodiment of the present invention, the interconnection module
monitors only the receive fiber line where a power monitoring circuit receives a monitor
level optical signal via an optical tap and converts the optical signal to an electrical
output. Processing electronics and firmware within the module are operable to generate
alarms and other control signals when changes in the power level of the received signal
are detected. A test access path is provided on the module for use, for example, with an
optical time domain reflectometer (OTDR). In one embodiment of the present invention,
the interconnection module incorporates a unique physical design arrangement that
separates the optical signal processing from the electronic processing into partitioned
sub-modules. The optical and electronic sub-modules may advantageously be assembled
(and dis-assembled) by means of guides that allow the module halves to slide together.
A unique optical mating connector is provided in the sliding arrangement to join the
optical module to an opto-electronic photodetector in the electronic module.
