IPC: G02B6/34
Filed: 1987-08-07
Abstract: An optical transmission system is described 
wherein light is transmitted from a transmitter (Tx) to 
a receiver (Rx) by at least one transmission optical 
fiber (22). The system includes a dispersion 
transformer which receives light from one of the 
components, compensates for or transforms the delay 
distortion of the various wavelengths transmitted 
through the system, and provides the next component in 
the system with a compensated or transformed light 
beam. The dispersion transformer comprises means 
(20, 21) for receiving light from one of the components 
and dispersing/separating the light into a plurality of 
spatially separated beams (23-26) which are directed 
onto the endface (29) of a multimode optical fiber 
(28). The position of each beam on that endface is a 
function of the velocity with which the light that 
forms the beam propagates through the transmission 
optical fiber (22). The multimode fiber 28 comprises 
a plurality of light-conducting channels, adjacent ones 
of which are separated by cladding regions having 
refractive indices lower than those of the adjacent 
light-conducting channels.

Patent EP-0291716-A3 (EP)
IPC: B01D36/02
Filed: 1988-04-21
Abstract: A multi-bed filtration system includes an 
upstream filter bed in series with a downstream filter 
bed of nonbuoyant media. Also included is a system for 
periodically backwashing the nonbuoyant filter bed. 
Coagulant-treated water is passed through the upstream 
filter bed, followed by the downward flow of water 
through the downstream filter bed. Thereafter, the 
downward flow of water through the downstream filter bed 
is periodically interrupted. During these 
interruptions, a limited amount of water is introduced 
upwardly through the downstream filter bed by the 
backwashing system. Such backwashing frees coagulated 
solids within the bed, causing the solids to move 
upwardly through the bed. The solids ultimately collect 
in a zone above the surface of the bed. When normal 
filtration recommences, water passes through the deck of 
solids in the zone prior to entering the nonbuoyant 
filter bed.

Patent EP-0282315-A3 (EP)
IPC: H03M1/00
Filed: 1988-03-10
Abstract: An analogue-to-digital converter comprises a feed-­
forward arrangement in which, in a first stage, the 
analogue input signal is applied via a filter 34 to a 
subtractor 26 along a first path and is applied via a 
second path to an analogue-to-digital converter 23 
followed by a filter 24 and then converted back into 
analogue form to be applied via a filter 33 to the 
subtractor 26. The output of the subtractor 26 is 
therefore an error signal representative of the difference 
between the analogue input signal and the predicted signal 
in analogue form. The error signal is applied to an 
analogue-to-digital converter 30 and is combined at 31 
with the predicted signal in digital form taken from the 
output of filter 24 via filter 32 to produce the digital 
output signal. Control means 14 are provided to provide 
phase and gain matching between different parts of the 
circuit and the filter 24 is such that its output noise 
spectrum is arranged to be shaped so as to include a null 
around the quarter sampling frequency, enabling a low 
resolution D-A converter 25 to be used.

Abstract: An apparatus, method and data structure for 
validating the data bus of a microprocessor-based unit 
under test in which bit patterns having half as many 
bits as the width of the data bus are applied to the 
data bus along with another bit pattern which is either 
the complemented or true replication of the bit 
pattern. Evaluation of the resulting bit patterns on

obviates not only probing of the data bus by the 
operator but data bus diagnosis, as well. A particular 
data structure of a preferred bit pattern sequence
