Title: Optical fibre-based devices utilising the raman effect
Inventor: MONRO TANYA MARY
IPC: G02F1/365
Filed: 2002-09-27
Abstract: An optical fibre device based on the Raman effect comprises a first optical source to provide light at a first wavelength, and a holey optical fibre which receives the light from the first optical source such that optical gain or loss is provided at a second wavelength by the effect of Raman scattering within the fibre. For optical gain, the second wavelength is longer than the first wavelength, and the device can be operated as an amplifier, or as a laser if optical feedback is provided. For optical loss, the second wavelength is shorter than the first, and the device may be used as an optical modulator. The fibre may be fabricated from pure silica, although other undoped or doped materials may alternatively be used to tailor properties of the fibre such as gain spectrum, bandwidth, power handling capability and mode propagation.

Title: Transmitting and receiving messages through a customizable communication channel and programming model
Inventor: MARUCHECK MICHAEL J
IPC: H04L29/08
Filed: 2004-02-24
Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer program products for abstracting processing layers within a messaging infrastructure so that changes or enhancements can be made to the infrastructure while retaining existing functionality. Message transport implementations are abstracted within a message layer, allowing other layers within the infrastructure to interact with messages in a more generic fashion, largely independent of message transport. Transport examples include named pipes, Transmission Control Protocol (TCP), HyperText Transfer Protocol (HTTP), Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP), etc. A channel layer above the message layer abstracts message exchange implementations, allowing other layers within the infrastructure to send and receive messages in a more generic fashion, largely independent of the message exchange semantics of a specific implementation. Message exchange examples include datagrams, dialogs, monologs, queues, and the like. Above the channel layer and message layer, a service layer abstracts the binding implementations that bind message exchange implementations to user code implementations. <IMAGE>
