Title: High-performance nxn optical matrix switch using double-size butterfly network of 2x2 switching units
Inventor: SUN DE-GUI
IPC: H04Q11/00
Filed: 2001-10-22
Abstract: An NxN optical waveguide matrix switch using double-size butterfly network of 2x2 switching units is proposed in this invention. In the NxN matrix switches, the complexity, the power consumption, the wavelength sensitivity, the insertion loss, and the blocking are main problems. In this invention, the NxN optical waveguide matrix switch uses a double size butterfly.network where one size of the butterfly network is specially used for switching operations and the other one for balancing and testing the optical outputs at the OFF-state. So, not only can nonblocking degree be met, but also both the numbers of switching units and switching stages can be decreased. Especially in the large-scale NxN matrix switches, this advantage becomes more apparent. As a result, the complexity, the insertion loss and the power consumption can be significantly reduced. If the wavelength sensitive switching units are used in this type of devices, at the different operation levels, the switching units are designed at different central wavelengths to uniformly cover the whole wavelength range. So, the wavelength sensitivity of the whole device can be depressed. Therefore, the final performance of NxN optical matrix switch becomes low insertion loss, wavelength insensitive and nonblocking.

Title: Method and installation for exchanging roll supports on winding stations arranged in a row
Inventor: STAUBER HANS ULRICH
IPC: B65H5/28
Filed: 2001-11-09
Abstract: To a row of winding stations (1), in which rolls (8) of flat, bendable objects (e.g., printed products) positioned on roll supports (3) are processed or in which such rolls are produced, roll supports (3) are coupled to the winding stations and if required are exchanged, the coupled roll supports forming a first row (A) of roll supports parallel to the row of winding stations (1). Roll supports (3) are positioned in readiness for the exchange in a second row (B) of roll supports, which second row (B) is distances from the first row (A) by a transport alley (10). Each roll support in the second row is aligned to the one winding station (1), to which it is to be coupled. For every exchange, the roll support (3) coupled to the winding station (1) is moved transverse to the first row (A) into the transport alley (10) and is transported along the transport alley to its end and there is positioned in a third row (C) of roll supports, which is aligned in the direction of the transport alley (10) and adjoins it. Already during the transportation of the roll support (3) to be removed along the transport alley (10), the roll support (3) in readiness in the second row (B) is transported from there into the first row (A) and is coupled to the winding station (1). The transportation steps necessary for the roll support exchange are carried out by a longitudinal transport means preferably comprising a transportation organ extending over the whole length of the transport alley (10) and of the third row (C) and a transverse transport means being essentially independent of the longitudinal transport means and being designed modularly, one transverse conveying module being assigned to each winding station. The simple equipment and the simple transport steps allow very rapid roll support exchanges, also simultaneously.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method and apparatus for transmitting NRZ data signals across an interface comprising an isolation barrier disposed between two devices interconnected via a bus. The apparatus comprises a signal differentiator for receiving an NRZ data signal and outputting a differentiated signal. A driver comprising a tri-state gate has as a first input the data signal and as a second input the differentiated signal for enabling the tri-state gate when the differentiated signal is high. A bias voltage is applied to an output of the tri-state gate to derive as output a transmission signal for transmission via the bus across the interface between the two devices. In this way, the transmission signal output from the first device comprises an intermediate transmission signal corresponding to the bias voltage when the tri-state gate is disabled, a high transmission signal when the tri-state gate is enabled and the first input to the tri-state gate is high, and a low transmission signal when the tri-state gate is enabled and the first input to the tri-state gate is low. A Schmidt trigger is provided as a receiver in the second device for receiving as input the transmission signal and outputting a reconstituted data signal corresponding to the synchronized data signal.

Patent CA-2371415-A1 (CA)
Title: Fast attenuator
Inventor: LONJOUX PHILLIPE
IPC: G02B26/08
Filed: 2002-02-11
Abstract: The invention provides a fast variable optical attenuator including a reflective membrane that serves as a varifocal mirror. Electrostatic deflection of the mirror defocuses the optical system and attenuates an optical signal launched to the mirror from an input port to an output port. Since the mirror is generally limited to deflections less than 1 micron, fast attenuation within a small ( < 5 dB) dynamic range is achieved. The dynamic range is improved by combining the fast attenuator with a slower attenuator. In the preferred embodiment, the slow and fast attenuator are not coupled via optical waveguides, but rather are optically coupled via free space or are integrated in the same device. Advantageously; this compact arrangement reduces the excess loss associated with optical fibre coupling and lowers packaging costs.

Abstract: This patent describes a method and system which overcomes the LO-leakage problem of direct conversion and similar RF transmitters and receivers. To solve this problem a virtual LOTM signal is generated which emulates mixing with a local oscillator (LO) signal. However, the virtual local oscillator (VLO) signal is constructed using signals that do not contain a significant amount of power (or no power at all) at the wanted output RF frequency, so there is no LO component to leak to the output. The invention also does not require sophisticated filters or large capacitors as other designs in the ar t, so it is fully integratable.

Title: Digital quasi-rms detector
Inventor: ARMSTRONG STEPHEN WADE
IPC: G01R29/04
Filed: 2002-04-18
Abstract: A digital quasi-RMS detector is provided that approximates the time-varying RMS energy of a signal. The digital quasi-RMS detector rectifies the signal and compares the rectified signal with an estimated present energy value of the audio signal. If the difference between the rectified signal and the estimated present energy value is not greater than zero, then the digital quasi-RMS detector multiplies the rectified signal by a first time constant to generate a first filtered signal and sums the first filter signal with the estimated present energy value to determine the approximate RMS  energy. If the difference between the rectified signal and the estimated present energy is greater than zero, however, then the digital quasi-RMS detector multiplies the rectified signal by a second time constant to generate a second filtered signal and sums the second filtered signal with the estimated present energy value to determine the approximate RMS energy.
