Abstract: A dispersion compensating optical fiber, together with a dispersion-shifted fiber that provides zero dispersion in a 1.5-micron wavelength range and guides signal light in a 1.5-micron or 1.6-micron wavelength range, can compose an optical transmission line, which provides improved transmission characteristics and efficient dispersion compensation. The total dispersion slope of an optical transmission line is improved while the dispersion of a dispersion-shifted fiber is well compensated for. The dispersion compensatin g optical fiber has a triply-cladded structure including first, second and thi rd cladding layers applied in sequence over the core. The difference in relativ e index of refraction between regions as well as their outside diameters are optimized while the dispersion of the dispersion-shifted fiber is compensate d for so that an optical transmission system with a desirable total dispersion  slope can be realized.

Title: Stick placer
Inventor: HALPER PAUL L
IPC: B65G47/06
Filed: 2001-05-01
Abstract: A stick placer includes a stick magazine and a stick receiver. A stop regulates passage of the lowermost stick from a lower opening in the stick magazine. The stick receiver is rotatable and has a stick receiving pocket. The stick receiver is selectively rotatably mounted adjacent the lower opening in the stick magazine. The stick receiver is rotatable between a stick receiving position and a stick depositing position. In the stick receiving position the pocket cooperates with the lower opening so as to receive the lowermost stick into the pocket when the stop is selectively removed so as to release the lowermost stick from the lower opening in the magazine. In the stick depositing position, the stick receiver is angularly displaced from the stick receiving position so as to dispose the pocket for deposit of the stick from the pocket onto an upper tier of a stack of lumber. The stick receiver has a cam surface above the pocket for engaging the lowermost stick when the lowermost stick is not in flush engagement with the upper tier of the stack of lumber upon deposit from the pocket, for example when the upper tier is uneven or the stick is bent or bowed or lying side-on.
