Title: Optical spectrum analyzer
Inventor: HE GANG
IPC: G01J3/12
Filed: 2001-01-04
Abstract: An optical spectrum analyzer comprises a diffraction grating (DG), a polarization decomposing unit (PDM) for decomposing the input light beam into first and second light beams having mutually-perpendicular linear states of polarization, and two output ports (FP2/1, FP2/2) each for receiving from the grating, substantially exclusively, a respective one of the polarized light beams (LT, LR) after diffraction by the diffraction grating (DG). Each of the linearly-polarized light beams is directed onto the diffraction grating with its linear state of polarization at any prescribed angle to a corresponding plane of diffraction of the diffraction grating. The arrangement is such that the state of polarization of the light beams, at any particular wavelength within an operating band of the analyzer remains substantially unchanged with respect to time. The analyzer also may have a reflector (RAM) for reflecting the light beams leaving the diffraction grating after diffraction a first time so as to return them to the diffraction grating for diffraction a second time.

Title: Allocation of resources in packet-switched data transfer
Inventor: FORSSELL MIKA
IPC: H04W76/02
Filed: 2001-03-28
Abstract: The invention relates to a method for arranging the transfer of packets between a wireless data transfer device (MS) and a mobile communication network (NW). For transferring packets between the wireless data transfer device (MS) and the mobile communication network (NW), temporary block flows (UL TBF, DL TBF) are formed, and information is transferred in these block flows in one ore more packet data traffic channels (PDTCH) either in the first direction from the mobile communication network (NW) to the wireless data transfer device (MS) or in the second direction from the wireless data transfer device (MS) to the mobile communication network. In the method, information about the end of the block flow is set in a packet (302) to be transmitted in a block flow when data transfer has stopped. When the transfer of packets in said first direction has stopped, at least one enquiry message (306) is also sent from the mobile communication network (NW) to the wireless data transfer device (MS). If there are packets to be sent to the mobile communication network (NW) in the wireless data transfer device (MS), a reply message (307) to said enquiry message (306) is sent from the wireless data transfer device (MS), which also sets information about the need to send packets in the reply message (307).

Patent CA-2407890-A1 (CA)
Inventor: DUCK SIMON ROBERT
IPC: G01S5/06
Filed: 2002-03-18
Abstract: A method of locating the source of an unknown signal of varying frequency received by receive antennas (16, 18) via relay satellites (12, 14) involves  downconversion of received signals to a first intermediate frequency (IF) an d band-limiting the downconverted signals. The band-limited signals are constrained to lie within a prearranged acquisition signal bandwidth by adjustment of local oscillator (LO) downconversion frequency to counteract frequency change in the unknown signal. Downconverted signals are offset in time relative to one another using trial values of differential time offset and their correlation is determined for each trial value to provide actual time offset. Compensation is provided for change in correlation phase angle,  which results from signals being downconverted experiencing different LO frequencies during the time interval of the trial offset.

Filed: 2001-12-19
Abstract: The invention is directed to techniques for controlling access to an optical interface (42) using a shutter that moves away "e.g., sideways" from the optical interface when exposing the optical interface. One arrangement is directed to an optical connection system (20) having a first optical connector and a second optical connector. The first optical connector has a connector body, an optical interface disposed within the connector body, a shutter, and a shutter controller that attaches the shutter to the connector body and that permits the shutter to move between a first position that covers the optical interface and a second position that exposes the optical interface. The second optical connector has a connector body that defines an actuator (38-A). The actuator is configured to move the shutter away from the optical interface rather than toward the optical interface, thereby drawing away any dirt and debris from the optical interface.
