Abstract: The present invention includes systems and methods for
monitoring the spooling area of a rotatable reel (22) for
winding or unwinding an elongated material (24), for example,
a cable. The monitoring system has a detector (26) for
sensing the presence and position of a cable surface or
object or operator positioned between the detector and the
reel. The detector can control rotation of the reel
directly, or send a position signal to a computer where the
position signal indicates the detected presence and/or
position. The computer can have a memory and/or a processor
for respectively storing and analyzing the position signal.
The computer is operative to compare the position signal to
previously received position signals to determine a
condition, for example, the amount of cable on the reel, the
presence of any object, and/or the existence of a safety-threatening
condition. The computer can generate an output
signal for use in, for example, controlling the reel speed
and/or torque, or the application of brakes.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus for tracking client activity associated with a browser running
on a client device in conjunction with a server, wherein the client device and the server are
in a computer network, are provided. In an illustrative embodiment, a method employs
client-side executable content that is dynamically downloaded into the browser, such as an
applet. The client-side executable content or applet is referred to as an "agent." The agent
is preferably downloaded into the browser along with a document requested by the client
and returned by the server. Once established in the browser, the agent keeps track of user
interaction that occurs in the browser, that is, client-side interaction. The granularity of this
tracking can be regulated, allowing the agent in the browser to collect as much information
as is available, or some subset thereof. The agent then periodically notifies a server-side
entity referred to as a "logger" of the information that it has collected. The logger stores
the information in a log database for subsequent use.

IPC: G02B26/02
Filed: 2000-12-14
Abstract: The present invention provides a wavelength selective optical filter device (240) for
receiving input radiation and outputting corresponding filtered output radiation.
The filter device (240) includes a plurality of at least partially mutually
coupled Fabry-Perot optical resonators (330,340,360;360,400,430) for filtering the input
radiation to generate the output radiation, the resonators having tuning ranges which at least
partially mutually overlap, the filter device (240) being tunable from a first
radiation wavelength to a second radiation wavelength by mutually detuning the resonators
in a period where the resonators are being retuned from the first wavelength (λ 1 ) to the
second wavelength (λ 2 ) so that the filter device (240) is substantially in a non-responsive
state during the period. The resonators incorporate freely suspended mirrors (360, 430)
which are electrostatically actuated to affect tuning of the resonators (330,340,360;360,400,430).
The filter device (240) is thereby capable of tuning between different wavelengths
without tuning through wavelengths therebetween. The filter device (240) can be included
into an add-drop filter (10) in a multichannel WDM communication system (100).

Abstract: A method and system for identifying the cause of a partial discharge occurring
in an electric system, which method comprises the steps of measuring a
variable of the electric system, such as voltage or current, to which partial
discharges occurring in the electric system cause pulses, separating the
pulses caused by partial discharges, i.e. partial discharge pulses, and
occurring in the measured variable, defining and storing pulse parameters
depicting the partial discharge pulses, or information from which the pulse
parameters can be derived, defining (301) one or more pulse group graphs by
means of the pulse parameters after at least a predefined number of partial
discharge pulses, i.e. a pulse group, has been obtained, defining (302) one or
more characteristic parameters from said at least one graph, and determining
(304, 305) the cause of the partial discharge by means of the defined
characteristic parameters and a reference library (600) formed in advance,
which library describes one or more partial discharge causes, the reference
library comprising one or more descriptions which correspond to partial
discharge causes described by means of one or more membership functions
of fuzzy logic, and for each characteristic parameter to be used, there is a
corresponding membership function, and the step (304, 305) of determining
the cause of the partial discharge comprises the steps of placing (304) the
defined characteristic parameters into the membership functions
corresponding to the characteristic parameters of each description in the
reference library and calculating the values of the membership functions, and
defining (305) the cause of the partial discharge on the basis of the values of
the membership functions.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un commutateur optique pour système microélectromécanique (MEMS), ce commutateur comprenant un miroir construit sur un substrat. Le miroir est mobile en parallèle à la surface du substrat et permet soit le passage d'un rayon avec une incidence d'angle oblique, de préférence 45° par rapport à la surface du miroir, sans perturbation au travers d'une partie transparente du substrat, soit la réflexion du rayon sur une sortie alterne. Trois modes de réalisation du commutateur sont décrits. Le premier comprend une variation sur une unité de type peigne conçue pour produire des forces plus grandes que celles produites normalement et ce par l'utilisation d'une électrode de type enveloppe dans laquelle le miroir est dessiné. Les forces plus importantes peuvent être obtenues en donnant aux bords de l'électrode une ligne périmétrique longue, comme dans une forme fractale. Dans un second mode de réalisation, un miroir est soutenu par des bras flexibles qui sont attirés ou repoussés par des électrodes incurvées de charge électrostatique qui activent le miroir. Dans un troisième mode de réalisation, un champ magnétique autour du commutateur induit des forces latérales lorsqu'un courant électrique circule dans les bras conducteurs de support pour provoquer la commutation. L'invention décrit des réseaux bidimensionnels de ces commutateurs qui sont capables de commuter l'un des rayons d'un ensemble de rayons d'entrée sur un rayon de sortie. Des réseaux tridimensionnels permettent d'effectuer la commutation avec des trajets de rayons plus courts et moins de miroirs qu'avec d'autres commutateurs classiques. L'invention décrit un tel mode de réalisation tridimensionnel. Un dispositif de combinaison et de séparation de longueurs d'ondes est utilisé pour diviser un rayon de longueurs d'ondes multiples en un faisceau de rayons parallèles à une seule longueur d'ondes. En inversant le fonctionnement de ce dispositif, les rayons parallèles à une seule longueur d'ondes peuvent être recombinés. Un tel dispositif, combiné à l'un des commutateurs décrits, est utile dans les applications de multiplexage à division de longueurs d'ondes. Des procédés classiques de fabrication sont suggérés mais, afin d'améliorer la qualité des miroirs et la précision de leur positionnement et de leur déplacement ainsi que leur vitesse de fonctionnement, il est proposé de les fabriquer sur la surface des tranches de substrats. Un procédé innovant est décrit pour la fabrication de réseaux bidimensionnels et tridimensionnels de ces commutateurs impliquant le positionnement d'éléments commutateurs sur les tranches et l'empilement vertical des tranches selon une configuration définie.

recording medium (810, 910, 1002) of narrow track size. The magnetic reproducing head is
constituted by a GMR or TMR magnetic sensor (105, 705), and a flux guide (104, 106, 704,
706) for introducing a magnetic flux (503) into the magnetic sensor (105, 705), wherein at

capable of permitting the magnetic flux (503) to pass therethrough at a temperature of not
lower than a predetermined temperature Tp, but not permitting the magnetic flux to pass
therethrough at a temperature of lower than Tp. Light (501) is irradiated to only a portion of
the flux guide (104, 106, 704, 706) to cause the temperature of the irradiated portion to rise up
to Tp or more, thereby permitting a magnetic flux (503) to pass only through the irradiated
portion, thus narrowing the track width of magnetic reproducing head on the occasion of
detecting a magnetic recording information from the magnetic recording medium (810, 910,
