Abstract: A wavelength tunable laser includes a distributed feedback (DFB) array with first and second DFB laser diodes that generate first and second beams of light in first and second wavelength ranges. A microelectromechanical (MEMS) optical element selectively couples one of the first and second beams of light from the DFB laser array into an optical waveguide. The MEMS optical element includes a collimating lens and a thermal or electrostatic MEMS actuator for moving the collimating lens to select the one of the first and second beams of light. A focusing lens is located between the collimating lens and the optical waveguide. Alternately, the MEMS optical element includes a fixed collimating lens that collimates the first and second beams of light, a mirror, and a MEMS actuator for tilting the mirror to select the one of the first and second beams of light.

Abstract: An extended range variable gain amplifier is described. The variable gain capability is achieved by replacing differential pair amplifiers having an input signal with less attenuation with one having an input signal that is more attenuated. This replacement continues until only ten differential pair amplifiers are remaining. At this point, if less gain is desired, differential pair amplifiers are turned off, but are not replaced. A minimum number of amplifiers will remain on.

Abstract: When performing base station selection type transmission power control, transmission of the dedicated physical control channel signal by non-transmitting base stations is halted while minimizing the impact on uplink transmission power control. This decreases downlink interference and increases downlink channel capacity. At a base station, reception quality measuring unit 506 compares the measured uplink reception quality with a target quality, forms a TPC signal on the basis of the results of this comparison, and communicates the contents of this TPC signal to transmission power controller 507. When the base station in question is a non-transmitting base station, transmission power controller 507 transmits the dedicated physical control channel signal only if the contents of the communicated TPC signal instruct a decrease, and otherwise halts transmission of the dedicated physical control channel signal. <IMAGE>

Abstract: "Improvements Relating to Clothes Driers" A toggle 13 is pulled out to open up the arms of a drier. At first a mass 12 is pulled up to the top of column 1. Continued pull on the toggle now has the effect of a multi-part purchase over various sheaves 8, 5, 11, 5, 8 and 7 to draw a sleeve 2 and a collar 4 together and lift those elements up the column 1. Support arms carried by lugs 3 on the sleeve 2 are caused to be wedged away from the column 1 and their expansion continues as the sleeve 2 is raised up the column. By the time the sleeve 2 is secure at its uppermost position there is a long length of cord 9 leading from the sleeve to the toggle 13. However, once that toggle is released, the mass 12 is free to drop and it descends to about where the sleeve 2 was with the arms 3 folded before being arrested by the toggle 13 arriving at the sheave 8. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The present invention relates to a paging method and system for a radio access network which provides access to a core network, said system comprising a central network controlling device (100) for receiving pagings and for distributing said pagings to other network controlling devices (5) based on a paging information provided to said central network controlling device. Accordingly, while the access network comprises many RNCs and/or RNASs, the information required for paging or mobility management is provided at one place in one location or routing area. Thus, when the core network sends a paging request, the request does not have to be transmitted to many RNCs and/or RNASs and extra paging can be avoided in the access networks. Moreover, a paging coordination is possible despite of the number of different core networks.

Abstract: A method and device serve the tempering preforms of a thermoplastic material. The preforms are modeled subsequent to tempering into a container inside a blow-molding mold by the action of a medium under pressure. During tempering, the preforms are heated by being acted upon by a heat radiation as well as cooled by being blown upon with cooling air, at least in the surface region. For compensation of a change in the surface temperature of the preforms due to operating ambient parameters, a change in the intensity in the subjecting of the preforms to cooling air is conducted. This takes place such that with simultaneous heating and cooling a basically constant surface temperature of the preform is attained. In addition, the intensity of heat radiation can be regulated for adaptation to at least one operating parameter.
