Patent EP-0917310-A2 (EP)
Inventor: ABRAMOV ANATOLI A
IPC: H04J14/02
Filed: 1998-11-03
Abstract: Apparatus for monitoring multi-wavelength optical systems includes an
optical fiber system (44) and apparatus (42) for separating the different wavelengths of
transmitted light transmitted therethrough and for monitoring the respective optical
power in the separated spectral components. More specifically, embodiments of the
invention scan or modify the physical parameters of in-fiber gratings (46) that couple
light between spatially different modes of light within a wavelength-division-multiplexed
optical fiber system, separate the spatial modes using a mode-discriminating
device (47) and monitor or detect the separated spectral components
using a conventional or other suitable detector (48). By scanning the in-fiber gratings,
the peak wavelength of coupling between two dissimilar modes is modified, thus
allowing control of the coupling within the fiber optic system. Scanning the grating is
performed, for example, by changing the temperature or modifying the physical
dimensions of the grating. In one embodiment, the system employs a long-period
grating that couples light between two co-propagating, spatially different modes. In an
alternative embodiment, the system uses a short-period grating that couples light
between a forward propagating mode and a spatially dissimilar, backward propagating
mode.

Abstract: The arrangement includes a control (10) which controls a pulse-width control (11,12) with clocked relays. An additional module (20) is connected with a signal processing circuit (21) with temperature sensors (33, 34), supplying temperature signals to a signal evaluation circuit (13) which blocks a heating current supply to a cooking point at reaching a maximum temperature value. If the temperature still rises after reaching the maximum temperature value, a main relay (23) connected in series in the heating current circuit of the cooking field control is opened. The evaluation circuit compares the temperature signals constantly with a maximum temperature value, and which blocks a heating current supply to the concerned cooking point through opening of the relays. The signal processing circuit of the additional module determines if the temperature still rises after reaching the maximum temperature value, and opens a main relay (23) connected in series in the heating current circuit of the cooking field control accordingly.

Abstract: This invention uses a computer program to mine preexisting operator services
configuration data located in a variety of preexisting source operator services configuration
databases. The computer program either creates a new operator services configuration
database from parts of existing operator services configuration databases or modifies an
existing operator services configuration database. The computer program replaces the
current system=s reliance upon manual data entry by data engineers to configure the
operation of a new telecommunication switch or replace the software in a
telecommunication switch that was damaged or requires a new operator services
configuration data configuration. This invention provides accurate and timely customer
information, significantly decreases the time interval for engineering a new operator
services configuration database, decreases the research and data entry time, decreases the
interval for lab planning and project management, improves operator services configuration
database integrity, provides a cleaner operator services configuration database, reuses
existing operator services configuration data eliminating double data entry, reuses some
existing software code, and uses preexisting office data administration tools and provides
a platform for future growth and expandability. By accomplishing these tasks, the
telecommunication switch manufacturer or telecommunication switch operator saves time,
money and decreases time-to-market product and service schedules.

Abstract: A technique of operating a lithium-ion (Li-ion) battery is proposed for maximizing
battery life. In one aspect, this technique calls for charging the battery at a lower
temperature than the temperature at which discharge begins. Preferably, the battery
is charged at a temperature T 1  in the range between about +5°C and -20°C; and
discharged at a temperature T 2 , in the range of about +5°C to +30°C, T 2  being
higher than T 1 . In another aspect, the battery is charged to an elevated state of
charge which is above an initial state of charge at a temperature T 1  between about
+5°C and -20°C which is lower than a temperature T 2 , in the range of about +5°C
to +30°C, at which discharge begins. In a further aspect, after the battery has been
charged and discharged during the eclipse season, it is then charged to an
intermediate charge level between about 40% and about 60% state of charge over a
relatively long lapsed duration of time, about one month to about six months, and
thereafter, the battery is maintained at this intermediate charge level.
