Patent EP-1278083-A2 (EP)
Inventor: UTSUNOMIYA MOTOYASU
IPC: B81B3/00
Filed: 2002-07-10
Abstract: An analog beam-steering free-space optical switch
for connecting and switching a plurality of optical
signals includes a plurality of optical devices and
electrostatic actuators for driving the optical
devices. Each optical device is pivotally borne
to allow rotation around a prescribed center, 
   and each electrostatic actuator includes the
substrate that holds the optical devices and a
plurality of driving electrodes secured to the
substrate. The application of electrostatic voltage
between an optical device and the driving electrodes
generates electrostatic driving torque for causing the
optical device to tilt with respect to the substrate
around the center of rotation, whereby the direction
of reflection of an optical signal is changed. The 
   driving electrodes are arranged in a
radial pattern relative to the electrode center. Each
driving electrode is formed such that the
electrode width of a prescribed outer portion relative
to the electrode center decreases with progression
toward the outside. In addition, each driving electrode
is shaped such that the width of
a prescribed inner portion with respect to the
electrode center decreases with progression toward the
inside. Forming the driving electrodes in this way
improves the driving torque characteristic of the 
micromirror and extends the range of steering angles
within which stable positioning can be performed by
low-voltage drive.

Abstract: In a router with redundant central arbiters, a set of control processors (CPs)
determines which arbiter is active, which is standby, and when to switch between them. In
normal operation ingress ASICs issue requests to the active central arbiter ASIC and keep-alive
requests cyclically once per chunk period to the passive arbiter ASIC, which then
returns keep-alive grants through the same links to the ingress ASICs and sends standby
configuration information to the optical switch ASICs. The arbiter ASICs pass a switch-over
decision simultaneously to the optical switch ASICs and ingress ASICs, which empty all
queues of outstanding requests, and then resend all of those requests to the new active central
arbiter after all queues are empty, such that no router traffic is lost. Mechanisms ensure that
during the transition the ASICs properly recognize which data links are healthy and which
arbiter is active.

Abstract: A new technique incorporates a 1/4-rate Hard Disk Drive (HDD) servo-data
encoding into a Partial Response Maximum Likelihood (PRML) read channel. The
limitation of the HDD servo-track writer is the maximum frequency associated with
writing the servo data while maintaining a level of data alignment between the data in
the adjacent tracks (coherency). The 1/4 code allows the servo data to be written at the
maximum coherency bandwidth. Specifically, the data is read back (or sampled) at
twice the write frequency. This increases the data redundancy while also increasing the
data density and the disk storage capacity. The 1/4 coding can also be applied to
conventional HDD dibit coding. Specifically, the 1/4-coding scheme reads each
dibit-coded servo-data transition 01 as 0011, and reads each non-transition 00 (or 0) as
0000. The 1/4 coding and its matched Viterbi detector can also increase the data
detection in comparison to conventional peak-detection schemes. And although the 1/4
coding scheme is described in conjunction with a PR4-type servo channel, it can also
be used with an EPR4-type servo channel and other types of servo channels.

Abstract: A network security device is disclosed which does not require a separate computer to implement. The device may be in the form of a boxed hardware component and is preferably configured from an HTML interface. It contains and uses three network cards. The first two cards (80, 110) are used for the firewall. A third card is a management interface having a private, not publicly routed IP address. The first network card forwards packets to a packet filter (90). Packets which pass the filter (100) are forwarded to the second network card (110) and subsequently to their destination. None of these cards have a publicly routed IP address. The device acts as a packet filter which bridges rather than routes or proxies. It may be located between a router and a hub or server machine.

Abstract: A master-slave distributed communications network includes a master node, a plurality of slave nodes. Each slave node is configured to store an address of the next node for a message to be routed on an uplink to the master node, and when sending a data packet to the master node it appends the pre-stored address and forwards the data packet to the next node thus lengthening the data packet, as the data packet is progressed from the slave nodes to the master node. For a downlink message, the master node using a pre-stored routing table includes in the data packet the addresses of all the slave nodes on the selected route. As the data packet is progressed from slave node to slave node, the address of each slave node which has forwarded the data packet is deleted thus shortening the overall length of the data packet.

Abstract: A carbon material includes carbon particles having a graphite structure, the particles having a carbonaceous material deposited on at least a portion of the surface thereof, and fibrous carbon. In the carbon material, the carbonaceous material is obtained by subjecting a composition containing a polymer to heat treatment. The fibrous carbon is preferably deposited to the carbon particles through a carbonaceous material obtained by subjecting a composition containing a polymer. As a result, when the carbon material is used as a negative electrode active material for a secondary battery, the electrical conductivity can be improved and large current load enduring characteristics and cycle characteristics can be improved. By coating the carbonaceous material onto the carbon particles having a graphite structure, destruction of the graphite structure by the polyethylene carbonate-based electrolytic solution can be prevented.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un endoscope orientable, qui comprend un corps allongé présentant une partie distale sélectivement orientable et une partie proximale à commande automatique. Le corps de l'endoscope est introduit dans un patient et la partie distale sélectivement orientable est mise en oeuvre pour choisir un trajet désiré à l'intérieur du corps du patient. Lorsque le corps de l'endoscope avance, un contrôleur de mouvement électronique amène la partie proximale à commande automatique à épouser la courbe choisie de la partie distale sélectivement orientable. Un autre trajet désiré est choisi avec la partie distale sélectivement orientable et le corps de l'endoscope est de nouveau avancé. A mesure que le corps de l'endoscope progresse, les courbes choisies avancent vers la partie proximale le long du corps de l'endoscope, et lorsque ce dernier est retiré de la partie proximale, les courbes choisies avancent vers la partie distale le long du corps de l'endoscope. Un mouvement en serpentin est ainsi créé dans le corps de l'endoscope, ce qui lui permet de négocier des courbes tortueuses le long du trajet désiré à travers, autour ou entre les organes internes du corps.
