Filed: 2000-10-06
Abstract: A method and a system for reducing the amount of bandwidth, and hence the amount of time, required to download Web pages, while still maintaining the ability of the user to view all components of the Web page. The components o f the Web page are selectively minimized, for example by reducing the size of graphical image components, by only displaying animation and/or video stream  data as static images, and so forth. The Web page is preferably automaticall y parsed and selected components minimized. The minimized Web page may then be  stored, for example by the owner of the Web page, until requested by the use r. Alternatively, the Web page may be minimized automatically and dynamically, "on the fly", for example by an ISP (Internet Service Provider). Thus, the user is able to view the entire Web page through the Web browser, while stil l enjoying improved performance through reduced down loading time an bandwidth  requirements.

Patent CA-2364291-A1 (CA)
Title: Micro-electromechanical based optical attenuator
Inventor: KEYWORTH BARRIE
IPC: G02B6/26
Filed: 2001-12-03
Abstract: The present invention relates to a micro-electromechanical optical attenuator and a method of operating the same. In prior art attenuators, the attenuation obtained from a deflection angle does not change uniformly over a range of interest. In addition, over a range of interest the required voltage to obtain a desired deflection changes as a non-linear function. The cause of the poor control of prior art attenuators can be viewed graphically by examining the attenuation as a function of deflection, and the angle of deflection as a function of voltage. These functions combine to produce a very unstable voltage to attenuation response function. The present invention has found that by operating an electrostatic drive of a reflective optical attenuator in order to attain a low loss state with the mirror in a fully deflected position, the drive voltage can be reduced to increase attenuation in a very stable nearly linear attenuation vs. drive voltage response. The non-linearity of the attenuation vs. deflection function is countered by a deflection vs. voltage response that becomes increasingly stable with decreasing voltage.  A resulting attenuation vs. voltage curve gives a superior, nearly linear response. To achieve the novel drive method in accordance with the present invention, an adjustable substrate is provided for supporting the mirror drive which can be positioned to support the mirror at a maximum deflection position in a neutral, unpowered state.

Inventor: MOLOF ALAN H
IPC: C02F1/467
Filed: 2000-12-04
Abstract: L'invention porte sur un procédé de traitement de fluides qui agit sur un courant de fluide s'écoulant en continu. Le courant est activé dans un processus d'écoulement en continu afin de générer un type de désinfectant (tel que le chlore) dans le courant et d'abaisser simultanément le pH du courant à environ 4,0. Le courant passe dans une cellule électrodialytique et une différence de potentiel électrique est appliquée dans des électrodes de la cellule lors du passage du courant dans la cellule. Par rapport à son écoulement dans un canal en amont de la cellule, le courant est accéléré lorsqu'il passe dans la cellule. Au niveau d'un orifice d'évacuation de la cellule, le pH du courant s'élève jusqu'à une plage neutre, ce qui génère une solution désinfectée. Cette étape peut être effectuée en faisant passer l'effluent entre des électrodes à charge différentielle, par exemple, de la même cellule électrodialytique. L'invention porte également sur un procédé de désinfection chimique.
