Patent EP-1176459-A1 (EP)
Inventor: MARAZZI LUCIA
IPC: G02F3/00
Filed: 2001-07-18
Abstract: An optical device for providing threshold and comparison functions. The device
comprises first and second semiconductor optical amplifiers
SOA's (20,30) having respective first and second
propagation paths along which the first and second optical signals, input as signals
 P     in1   (λ 1 )
and  P     in2   (λ 2 ),
travel in first and second forward directions. A feedback path
(40) is provided using couplers (22,32) to interconnect the outputs of the SOA's. As
a result, a portion of the optical signals output from each SOA is supplied backwards
into the output of the other SOA as feedback optical control signals
 P     feedback1   (λ 1 ) and
 P     feedback2   (λ 2 ).
The feedback optical control signals modulate the gain of the forwards
travelling optical signals by cross gain modulation (XGM). In contrast to prior art
devices, the optical control signal is supplied backwards into the SOA's in a counterpropagating
configuration. This allows much shorter feedback path lengths to be
achieved in comparison to what is possible with prior art co-propagating configurations.
Consequently, much higher bit rates can be achieved. The device may also be
implemented in planar waveguide technology.

Abstract: L'invention concerne des tissus teints au large, qui présentent à la fois d'excellentes caractéristiques de toucher et un aspect sensiblement non directionnel. Une telle combinaison permet de produire et d'utiliser un tissu d'habillement extrêmement confortable, qui peut être assemblé à tout autre type de tissu similaire pour façonner un article vestimentaire cible, sans qu'il y ait besoin d'aligner de tels tissus de composition, ce qui demande beaucoup de temps, pour conférer un aspect esthétique global tel que celui de l'article vestimentaire cible. En règle générale, un tel tissu est produit par l'immobilisation initiale des fibres individuelles à l'intérieur du tissu cible et par le traitement subséquent par abrasion, émerisage ou suédage d'au moins une partie du tissu cible. Un tel procédé permet d'obtenir un tissu de faible hauteur de trame et de toucher agréable. Après la teinture au large, le tissu cible offre l'avantage d'avoir des propriétés de surface non directionnelles. Pouvoir produire de tels tissus sans qu'une teinture à jet ne soit nécessaire représente un avantage financier significatif pour le fabricant et pour le consommateur .

Abstract: The present invention provides a call handling device for connecting a wireless communications device to a communications network and allows call control features to be implemented. This is achieved by transferring control information indicative the call control features available to the user via a wireless connection. The call control features selected by a user are then implemented by the call handling device, making the call control features available to the user. The present invention also allows control information to be sent to alternative communications devices. This is useful for example when a user assistant is using a portable handset or the like to make a telephone call. In this case with the key pad located on the handset it is typically difficult to push buttons as well as speak on the phone simultaneously. The present invention overcomes this by having the control information sent directly to a different device such as a PDA so that it can be presented to the user and then responded to without disturbing the phonecall.

Abstract: In a transmission power control circuit according to the present
invention, a variable gain amplifier (1) amplifies a transmitting wave with
a gain corresponding to a control voltage V C  from a power control section
(110). When a transmission power (P OUT ) of the transmitting wave is
within a measurable range of a detecting circuit (3), the power control
section (110) sets a control voltage feedback ratio (K') to 0 and applies
negative feedback to a detection voltage (V DET ) and thereby, implements
close loop control to cause transmission power (P OUT ) to be closer to a
designated level. On the other hand, when the transmission power (P OUT )
is out of a measurable range of the detecting circuit (3), the power control
section (110) sets a detection voltage feedback ratio (K) to 0 to generate the
control voltage (V C ) according to open loop control based on a reference
voltage V REF .
