Patent EP-0836102-A2 (EP)
Inventor: ATKINS ROBERT MICHAEL
IPC: G02B6/02
Filed: 1997-09-30
Abstract: The method of making an optical fiber refractive index grating comprises writing
the grating through the fiber coating. The method involves providing optical fiber of
significantly higher photosensitivity than conventional fiber, such that the grating can be
written before unacceptable darkening of the coating occurs. Such fiber is H 2  and/or D 2 -loaded
silica-based fiber having a Ge-doped core, the fiber selected to have a germanium-oxygen
deficiency center content that provides the fiber with a photosensitivity that is at
least twice as large as that of an otherwise identical, conventionally prepared, optical
fiber. The fiber typically is drawn from a preform, at least a portion of which was
exposed to a reducing atmosphere at an elevated temperature.

Abstract: A laptop computer contains a built-in modem and has a phone jack for
connection to a telephone line while the computer is being operated in a stand-alone
mode. A docking station into which the laptop computer may be docked allows the
combined unit to be operated in a desk-top mode. The docking station may have a full-sized
keyboard and display so that the laptop functions as the main computer a user
may employ in the office or home. A telephone connection is already in place at the
docking station so that the user need not make a phone line connection to invoke the
docked mode, but instead merely nests the laptop in the docking station. In one
embodiment, the only components of the modem that are duplicated in the docking
station are the phone jack itself and an isolation and 2-to-4 wire converter, so the plug-in
connector ordinarily employed between a laptop and a docking station may be of a
low-voltage, spike voltage protected form, whereby the coupling used for computer
logic and control levels is compatible. The possibility of damage to computer circuits
due to the proximity of high-voltage telephone line connections is thus avoided.

Title: Printer parameter compensation by a host camera
Inventor: SMALL JEFFREY ALAN
IPC: H04N1/32
Filed: 1998-03-23
Abstract: A system wherein already-existing computing and memory
resources in an electronic camera are used to process an image for printing.
Rather than duplicating, in printers, computing and memory resources that are
already in digital cameras, significant computing and memory resources need exist
only in the camera. A digital camera can support many different printers, each
with its own set of parameters such as for example print size, pixel size,
colorimetry, sensitometry, and artifacts compensation. Printer parameters are
uploaded from the printer to the camera to provide a basis for image processing
specific to the associated printer; whereby compensation may be done for
variations in the printer characteristics which may occur as a result of printer
manufacturing variations, and further so that compensation may be done for
different media types which may be installed in the printer.

Abstract: In a switch mode power supply, a full wave rectified
AC mains supply voltage (V1) is produced from an AC mains
supply voltage (VM) without low-pass filtering. The unfiltered
rectified voltage is applied to a winding (W1) of a flyback
transformer (T) that is coupled to a switching transistor (Q1). A
first plurality of current pulses (iP1) are generated in the winding
from the rectified voltage at a frequency (20 KHz) that is higher
than the frequency (50 HZ) of the mains supply voltage and at
peak amplitudes that vary in accordance with the rectified voltage
in a manner to increase a power factor. The rectified voltage is
further rectified via a rectifier (D2) coupled in series with a
resistor (R13) and a low-pass filter capacitor (C2) and produces
current pulses (i3) in the capacitor. A voltage (V2) in the
capacitor is coupled via a second switching transistor (Q2) to the
winding to produce in the winding a second plurality of current
pulses (iP2) that reduce a ripple component at an output (37) of
the power supply. The resistor increases the pulse-width and
decreases the magnitude of the capacitor current pulses in a
manner to reduce input harmonic contents and increase the power
factor.
