Abstract: A MEMS-based optical switch having improved characteristics and methods for manufacturing the same are provided. In accordance with one embodiment, an optical switch includes a single comb drive actuator having a deflecting beam structure and a mirror coupled to the actuator. The mirror is capable of being moved between an extended position interposed between waveguide channels and a retracted position apart from the waveguide channels. The actuator applies a force capable of deflecting the beam structure and moving the mirror to one of the extended positions or the retracted position and the beam structure returns the mirror to the other of the extended position or the retracted position in the absence of the application of force.

Abstract: A device for transferring EGR gasses from the exhaust collector of a supercharged internal combustion engine to its inlet conduit includes, besides a supercharge unit, a venturi device having the purpose of sucking the EGR gasses from the exhaust collector into the inlet conduit in order to overcome the high gas pressure in the pressurized charging air in this conduit. In order to adjust the amount of sucked-in EGR gas to the different load points, under which the engine works, an injector tube is arranged in the inlet section to the canal of the venturi device, through which injector tube the EGR gasses are led into the inlet conduit. The free end of this injector tube delimits, together with the surrounding canal wall, a ring-shaped passage, whose cross-sectional area may be varied by an axial relative motion between the injector tube and the venturi device.

Abstract: The present invention relates to novel methods and devices for differentiating in a patient parathyroid diseases, such as hyperparathyroidism and related bone diseases, from normal or non-disease states. One detects whole or non-fragmented (1 to 84) parathyroid hormone in a biological sample and also a large non-whole parathyroid hormone peptide fragment that can function as a parathyroid hormone antagonist. By either comparing values or using independently the value of either the large non-whole parathyroid hormone peptide fragment, the whole parathyroid hormone, or the combination of these values one is able to differentiate parathyroid and bone related disease states, as well as differentiate such states from normal states.

Abstract: A hybrid coupler (66, 67; 72, 73) has four ports and is capable of coupling radio frequency signals having a certain frequency from at least one port to at least one other port. The hybrid coupler (66, 67; 72, 73) is implemented as a differential coupler arranged to couple differential radio frequency signals. With such a hybrid coupler a power amplifying circuit can be produced which has sufficiently low ripple on the supply voltage to be integrated together with more sensitive radio circuits, and which is also insensitive to load mismatch such that an isolator can be avoided. A differential hybrid coupler allows the output current to be shared between four transistors or amplifiers, thus reducing the amplitude of the ripple. Further, the frequency of the ripple is four times the operating frequency of the circuit, which makes it much easier to filter out the ripple. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A low-cost diversity antenna switching system and method is realized by controlling bias voltages on PIN diodes. By increasing the reverse bias voltage impressed upon a PIN diode, an RF signal impressed upon the diode is increasingly attenuated. As the PIN diode is forward biased to conduct in the forward direction, RF attenuation decreases. Two or more PIN diodes are used to increasingly attenuate signals from one antenna as attenuation of signals from another antenna is gradually decreased. The progression of the bias voltages is accomplished using a microprocessor that monitors a received signal strength indicator (RSSI) signal from a radio receiver. The RSSI is used to control which of two antennas are coupled into the receiver by predicting a signal fade.
