Inventor: NARAYANASWAMI CHANDRASEKHAR
IPC: H04L12/28
Filed: 2001-05-29
Abstract: A communications protocol conversion system and methodology
includes one or more first interface devices for receiving
data signals communicated by a first communications device in
accordance with a first communications protocol; a format
converter device for on the fly converting the received data
signals into data signals in accordance with a second
communications protocol; and, one or more second interface
devices for outputting the data signals in accordance with the
second protocol to a second communications device.
Advantageously, the protocol conversion system obviates a
necessity for multiprotocol support in communications devices
thereby enabling such devices to remain relatively smaller in
size.

Abstract: A bidirectional multiplexer and demultiplexer based on a single waveguide
grating is presented. In one embodiment of the invention, the device contains a
multi/demultiplexer having an echelle grating disposed between a plurality of input
channels and a plurality of output channel arrays. The input and output channels are
assigned in a particular order, such that the multiplex and demultiplex functions have
the same wavelength channels and such that the blaze angle of the grating facets are
optimized simultaneously for both the multiplex and demultiplex function. Because
the optical signals are multiplexed and demultiplexed by the same dispersive element,
problems of mismatching performance introduced by using different optical
components are obviated. The input/output waveguides of the dual-function device
can be coupled to a single fiber array, thus reducing the packaging cost.

Abstract: Electrical equipment (14) is safeguarded from damage due to parallel arc faults by a circuit that provides several levels of protection. A semiconductor switch (18) and a current sensor (24) are placed in series with the electrical equipment (14). When the current to the equipment exceeds a first threshold for a predefined period of time, the semiconductor switch (18) is rendered non-conductive until the circuit is specifically reset. When the current to the equipment exceeds a greater second threshold, a pulsed signal alternately places the semiconductor switch (18) in conductive and non-conductive states so that the average current applied to the equipment (14) is within an acceptable level. The pulses are measured to determine whether a parallel arc fault has occurred. When the measured pulses (74) are within a predetermined range, a parallel arc fault is declared and the semiconductor switch (18) is rendered non-conductive. Should the current exceed an even greater third threshold, the semiconductor switch (18) is immediately rendered non-conductive until the circuit is manually reset.

Abstract: A fuel cell (10,12,55,65,70,70',70") having a non-uniform electrical resistivity over the flow area of the cell. Resistance is higher in areas of the cell having locally low levels of hydrogen than in areas having locally high levels of hydrogen. Excess oxygen ion migration and buildup is suppressed in regions having low hydrogen concentration and is correspondingly increased in regions having a surfeit of hydrogen. Destructive oxidation of the anode is suppressed and a greater percentage of the hydrogen passed into the cell is consumed, thereby increasing electric output.

Abstract: The invention discloses a method of transferring energy, clock frequency
and data information without using an electrically conducting connection
between a portable module and host equipment. Energy is transferred
as optical radiation from at least two distinct light sources with intensities
alternating between the minimum and maximum values in such a way that
when one intensity goes from minimum to maximum the other goes from
maximum to minimum wherein total intensity of optical radiation received by
the module and supply voltage formed therefrom is nearly constant. The
clock frequency is formed by and detected as the cyclical alteration of light
intensities. Data is transferred as a modulation of the clock frequency. The
invention relates also to a module comprising means for receiving optical
energy and converting it to into energy, clock frequency and data.

The magnet (90) is movable toward the pole piece (74) under the influence of an electromagnetic flux generated by a pulse of current generated through the coil (56) in one direction thereby driving the permanent magnet (90) against the pushpin (84) to move the valve member (22) to one predetermined position. In addition, the permanent magnet (90) is also movable away from the pole piece (74) and toward the latch (88) under the influence of an electromagnetic flux generated by a pulse of current flowing through the coil (56) in an opposite direction. When this occurs, the biasing member (46) moves the valve member (22) to another predetermined position. A control circuit for changing the direction of the current through the coil is also disclosed.

Abstract: In a printing system, a controller defines identification information for identifying a plurality of paper feed cassettes provided in a printing machine for each of the paper feed cassettes. When an operator specifies a paper feed cassette for feeding a sheet for printing of an image represented by print data, the controller stores a correspondence between the print data and the specified paper feed cassette. Based on the correspondence, the controller combines the identification information assigned to the paper feed cassette corresponding to the print data with the image represented by the print data to create a preview image, and then displays the preview image. Prior to the execution of the printing, the operator can thereby easily recognize which paper feed cassette stores the sheet on which the image represented by the print data is to be printed.
