Title: Module de guide d'ondes optique
Inventor: KOMIYA TAKEO
IPC: G02B6/34
Filed: 2003-05-14
Abstract: L'invention concerne un circuit optique de guide d'ondes plat (1) doté d'un filtre réfléchissant (4) à l'intérieur d'une rainure diagonale (3) qui traverse le guide d'ondes optique (2¿n?). La lumière réfléchie qui est réfléchie depuis le filtre de réflexion (4) est détectée par un capteur optique (61¿n?) d'un réseau de capteurs (6) afin de contrôler l'intensité d'un voyant. Un substrat (10) du circuit optique (1) constituant une partie de la rainure (3) consiste en un substrat en verre fait d'un matériau en verre présentant un indice de réfraction approximativement égal à celui d'une résine de fixation de filtre (5) qui fixe un noyau (20) du guide d'ondes optique (2¿n?) à un filtre de réflexion (4). La réflexion de la lumière au niveau des parties de la rainure (3) est ainsi évitée, et l'apparition et le confinement de lumière à large diffusion à l'intérieur de la rainure (3) sont réduits. Par conséquent, on obtient un module de guide d'ondes optique permettant d'améliorer les caractéristiques de contrôle d'un voyant.

Patent CA-2461511-A1 (CA)
Inventor: LI YONG
IPC: H04L29/06
Filed: 2002-09-30
Abstract: Wireless data services such as wireless email are becoming common, and in particular, "always-on" systems, where new email is automatically forwarded by the service provider to the wireless device. The problem is that there is no effective mechanism for implementing "always-on" systems when the user is moving around a network, or from one network to another. The invention addresses this problem by generating a session key at the service provider's system for a given data session, and returning this session key to the mobile device. Each time the mobile device communicates with the service provider, it enters this session key into a field that will simply pass through the communication network to the service provider. This allows the service provider to manage the data session, preparing proper accounting records and directing the deletion of stale data sessions on network resources.
