摘要:
A practical fibre Raman amplifier for soliton systems which employs conventional transmission fibre (4) and a pulsed pump source (3). The pump source only requires a relatively low mean power level but must be capable of providing sufficiently high peak output power pulses at intervals corresponding to the intervals between solitons whereby to amplify the latter. A conventional mode-locked laser diode source can achieve this at the requisite wavelength. The use of such a pulsed pump source is possible since the solitons have to be spaced at intervals approximately 8 to 10 times their pulse width in order to avoid interaction problems. Conventionally, Raman amplification requires high mean power continuous wave pump sources and suitable laser diode sources are not available at the requisite wavelengths.

The present invention provides a method of establishing carrier independent network services (CINS) wherein feature and voice information are decoupled such that feature information is transmitted on a signalling line (13) established on private and/or public facilities, but voice information is transmitted over a public network (12) when calls overflow, thereby permitting the terminating node (11) to identify the incoming call and associate feature information provided by the originating node (10).

A voltage stress protection device (Fig. 1) for a dielectric aerial cable mounted on an electric power line comprises a bell-shaped conductive member (13) coupled to the cable support armour (12) and adapted to confine corona discharge to a region remote from the surface of the cable (11).
摘要:
A cable joint or termination has a plastics insulating layer formed by a pair of pre-formed polyethelene parts 7 and 8 which are a close fit around the casing 3 and the cable insulations 1C, 2C. The parts are bonded by ring moulds 9, 10 and 11. This is quicker and cheaper than previous techniques of injection moulding to a sleeve and the cable at the end regions of the casing, and prevents occlusion caused by cable outgassing.

Un circuit de commande de diode à laser assure une puissance de sortie moyenne voulue de la diode à laser (10) en détectant (18) la sortie optique, en amplifiant (24) la sortie détectée et en commandant de manière appropriée le courant de polarisation (14) de la diode à laser. Un signal pilote (20) est associé à la sortie détectée (18) et amplifié avec celle-ci, et le niveau amplifié (24) du signal est détecté (22) et utilisé pour commander (26) un courant de modulation (16) pour la diode à laser. Dans un des agencements décrits la diode à laser (10) est commandée de manière à posséder un rapport élevé d'extinction lorsque le courant de polarisation est situé au coude (42) de la courbe caractéristique de la diode, et dans un autre agencement, un rapport d'extinction inférieur est obtenu lorsque le courant de polarisation est situé au-dessus du coude (42).
摘要:
Relaxation effects of a uniform mode ferroelectric liquid crystal cell with obliquely evaporated alignment layers, characterised by the reduction in apparent tilt angle consequent upon removal of a switching stimulus, are eliminated by a poling treatment that typically comprises the application of a relatively low frequency (c. 500Hz) relatively large amplitude (c. 60 volts peak-to-peak) electric potential difference across the thickness of the liquid crystal layer.

A digital signal data retiming and clock extraction apparatus including a series of three data latches (111, 121, 131), connected in cascade, means for applying digital data signals to the first latch, means for clocking (701) the first and third latches in phase with the data signals input to the first latch, means for clocking the second latch in antiphase with the data signals input to the first latch, coincidence detection means (201) to which are applied the digital data signal (A) input to the first latch, the data signals output (B) of the second latch and the data signals output (C) of the third latch, the coincidence detection means being arranged to derive output data signals (X) in accordance with the algorithm X = B. (A-C), and a first phase lock loop feedback means (Q1, Q2, 301) whereby the output data signals (X) of the coincidence detection circuit control the timing of the clocking means to maintain the phase relationship with the digital data signals input to the first latch.
摘要:
The call hand-over technique of this invention is characterized by the use of channel information from both the target base station (24b) and subscriber terminal (22) in determining which radio traffic channel will be used to hand over a call in progress from a serving base station (24a) to a target base station (24b). Calls are handed over to the radio channel which, of a set of channels under consideration by the subscriber terminal (22), contains the least amount of interference as measured by the subscriber terminal. The set of channels under consideration by the subscriber terminal is a subset of the entire set of channels allocated to the service. This subset is comprised of those channels having little interference, as measured by the target base station. The hand-over technique thereby assures that calls proceed on channels containing little interference from the viewpoints of both the target base station (24b) and the subscriber terminal (22).
