Apparatus and methodology for discharging static electricity from a vehicle which uses a discharge mechanism that does not contact the roadway (Earth) when the vehicle is in forward motion to reduce, or completely avoid, frictional wear on the discharge mechanism. In one embodiment, the displacement between the discharge mechanism and the roadway is obtained by way of wind force generated by the motion of the vehicle itself. A properly oriented and hinged windscreen attached to the conductive path discharge mechanism can be used for this purpose. Other embodiments including magnetically controlled lifting and holding devices can be used.

A method for implementing a truly hitless tunable filter for use in adding and/or dropping channels in a wavelength division multiplexed (WDM) network is disclosed. An exemplary method for filtering an optical signal may include providing a composite optical signal having several wavelengths including a first wavelength, a second wavelength and other wavelengths. The method may include passing the first wavelength through a filter and reflecting the second wavelength and the other wavelengths with the filter. The method may include making the first wavelength available to a drop port, and making the second wavelength and the other wavelengths available to an output port.
摘要:
System and method for inserting cable, such as fiber optic cable, into micro-duct and, simultaneously, installing that micro-duct inconspicuously atop baseboard molding or beneath crown molding against walls inside a building, thereby storing dormant cable in installed micro-duct ready to be pressed into service when the occupant requests that service. Color of the micro-duct is the same as, or blends with, color of the baseboard, or the crown molding to make presence of micro-duct as unobtrusive as possible. A special tool is provided for this purpose allowing one person, acting as solitary installer, to perform the installation without help from other people. Bend elbows are provided to prevent severely short bend radii and, thereby, prevent breakage of glass fibers or deteriorated transmission due to insertion loss. Removable splice cover hides splices. Laser test beam can locate optical fiber breaks.

A first signal is received from an initial quantum key generating transmitter via a single combined channel that includes a first quantum signal and a public data signal alternating in a time shared manner. The first signal is split into first and second split signals. A low attenuation is applied to the first split signal when the first split signal includes the first quantum signal. A high attenuation is applied to the first split signal when the second split signal includes the public data signal. The first split signal is received at an intermediate quantum key generating receiver (QKGR) when the low attenuation is applied and a first quantum key is generated. A second quantum signal is transmitted to a recipient QKGR and a second quantum key is generated. The first quantum key is encoded using the second quantum key and transmitted to the recipient QKGR.
摘要:
A device determines a bandwidth demand for traffic provided between a line terminal (LT) and multiple optical network terminals (ONTs), and dynamically tunes, based on the determined bandwidth demand, one or more tunable filters provided in the LT and the multiple ONTs to one of balance the traffic, protect the traffic, or increase available bandwidth for the traffic.

An approach is provided for a free-space optical switch. A command is received to change a connection state of a free-space optical transmission path. A mirror is controlled to change the connection state of the free-space optical transmission path with respect to a particular port of a plurality of ports that interface to respective optical fibers, wherein the ports correspond to holes disposed about a circumferential surface of a port ring.

摘要:
One embodiment provides an apparatus for material deposition. The apparatus includes a reaction chamber, and a pair of susceptors. Each susceptor has a front side and a back side, and the front side mounts substrates. The susceptors are positioned vertically in such a way that the front sides of the susceptors face each other, and the vertical edges of the susceptors are in contact with each other, thereby forming a substantially enclosed narrow channel between the substrates. The apparatus also includes a number of gas nozzles for injecting reaction gases. The gas nozzles are controlled in such a way that gas flow directions inside the chamber can be alternated, thereby facilitating uniform material deposition. The apparatus includes a number of heating units situated outside the reaction chamber. The heating units are arranged in such a way that they radiate heat energy directly to the back sides of the susceptors.
