Title: A system and a method for limiting the maximum of light transmitted from a ribbon fiber
Inventor: RENGMAN JACOB
IPC: H04B10/00
Filed: 2001-11-08
Abstract: A terminal (104) is connected to a communication link (102) comprising a ribbon fiber (110) for communication in two directions over pairs of fiber in the ribbon. For each incoming fiber (106) in the ribbon fiber a receiver (112) is connected to an amplifier/detector (114) which emits detection signals on line (117). The detection signals indicate that there is sufficient optical power in the corresponding incoming fibers and are supplied via gates (124) to control units (122). These control whether electric signals incoming on lines (120) are to be conveyed further to transmitters (118) for being sent on the outgoing fibers (108). A channel selector unit (126) delivers selector signals to the gates so that when insufficient optical power exists in an incoming fiber the corresponding transmitter is only permitted to transmit during short repeated periods and is shut off in between.

Abstract: When traveling to a destination reported in a
television broadcast or the like, the user has had to
make a memo while watching the television and, when
actually going out by car, the user has had to enter
necessary information into an in-vehicle terminal by
looking at the memo. 
     A broadcast provider 101 broadcasts a travel program
together with travel destination information related to
it, and a television terminal 104 presents the received
broadcast and travel destination information to the
user. If the user desires to travel to the destination
thus presented, the television terminal 104 downloads
the received travel destination information into a
memory card 113. When the user goes out by car at a
later date, the in-vehicle information terminal 114
acquires the travel destination information from the
memory card 113, a route setting section 117 sets the
route by using travel destination location information
contained in the travel destination information, and a
communication section 116 acquires real-time information
by using a method of connection to a real-time
information providing means 122 carried in the travel
destination information.

Abstract: The present invention relates generally to methods for generating plants having altered phenotypes, and to plants so generated and parts of these plants. More particularly, the present invention relates to a method for modifying a plant so as to produce a plant exhibiting an altered phenotype. Particularly useful altered phenotypes contemplated by the present invention include plants having altered tissue architecture. The present invention further contemplates genetic sequences capable of facilitating the modification of a phenotype of a plant and to sequences complementary thereto and to derivatives of the sequences. Plants and parts of plants, such as flowering and reproductive parts including seeds, also form part of the present invention. The ability to modify the phenotype of a plant may be useful for, inter alia, producing plants with more highly desired characteristics, such as delayed flowering, increased lateral branching, delayed senescence and the like.

Abstract: Axial tension is applied to a blanket (not shown) in a shoe press
of a papermaking machine by means of respective fluid actuated
piston and cylinder assemblies (11, 13) which are mounted inside
the blanket and apply axial pressure to the first and second
heads (10, 12) between which the blanket is mounted. Neither
head (10, 12) is fixed or limited in position at any time. The
respective fluid assemblies (11, 13) include respective
displacement sensors whereby the positions of the heads (10, 12),
and thereby of the blanket, relative to the press can be
determined and monitored. Automatic adjustments can then be made
to the pressure in the assemblies and hence to the positions of
the heads to maintain the blanket in a substantially central
position on the press.

Abstract: Optical biometric sensor apparatus and methods for
analysing images of biometric features such as
fingerprints and adapted to distinguish between live
body members and inanimate objects, and to detect
spoofing devices applied to live body members. Live
body members are detected by transmitting IR light
from a first IR light source (LED) 14 through an
object 10 to an image sensor 20. The IR
transmission characteristics of a live body member
vary with the human heartbeat, and multiple images
are analysed to verify whether the object is a
genuine live body member. A visible light source
(LED) 18 illuminates the object 10 for obtaining a
detailed image from the sensor for conventional
biometric analysis. Transmitted IR images and
reflected visible light images are also processed in
order to detect the presence of spoofing devices
applied to live body members. Muliple IR and
visible light sources of different wavelengths may
be employed for this purpose.
