    摘要: A fiber optic coupler is formed by inserting a plurality of optical fibers into the longitudinal bore of a glass tube so that at least a portion of each fiber extends from at least one end of the tube. The midregion of the tube is collapsed onto the fibers, uncollapsed bore portions remaining at the tube end regions. Each bore portion is connected to the tube end surface by a funnel that facilitates the fiber insertion step. The central portion of the midregion is stretched to reduce the diameter thereof. In a first embodiment, glue is applied to the funnel. Before the glue is cured, a sufficient period of time is allowed to elapse to permit said glue to flow by capillary action between the fibers and the adjacent portion of the wall of the bore portion. The glue flows at least 3 mm into the bore portion beyond the bottom of the funnel. The glue that flows by capillary action fails to completely surround the fibers with glue. The glue is then cured. In a second embodiment, a hollow filament is inserted into the uncollapsed bore portion and a vacuum is applied to the filament. Glue, which is applied to the funnel, is drawn into the uncollapsed bore portion due to the evacuated condition thereof, thus filling the uncollapsed bore portion to the desired level.

    摘要: An apparatus for selectively transmitting input optical signals carried on input optical fibers to output optical fibers. A three refractive index tapered wave guide structure is bent and maintained in the bent state. This structure is, thereafter, rotated in the bent state. The coupling characteristics are tunable based on the degree of rotation.

    摘要: A modular sliding-seat rowing shell that is relatively inexpensive and that can be constructed to provide any of three rowing configurations. The shell includes a bow section, a stern section and a center section. The bow and stern sections have the same number (e.g., 2) of rowing stations, and the center section has twice as many (e.g., 4) rowing stations. At each of the rowing stations in all of the sections the beam of the shell is the same (e.g. 22 inches), and the sections are designed and constructed such that the bow section and the stern section may be connected directly to each other to form a shell having one conventional rowing configuration (e.g., a four-oared shell), and the central section can be connected between the bow and stern sections to form a shell having a second conventional rowing configuration (e.g., an eight-oared shell). Two eight-oared configurations may be joined by two jokes to form a shell having a third conventional rowing configuration (e.g., a sixteen-oared training shell).

    摘要: A fiber optic coupler is formed by providing a glass tube having a longitudinal aperture extending therethrough. Glass optical fibers, each having a core, cladding and coatng are disposed within the longitudinal aperture, the fibers extending beyond each end thereof. The coating is removed from that portion of the fibers in the midregion of the tube but remains on that portion of the fibers extending into the ends of the apertures. The aperture is formed by a plurality of flattened walls, the dimensions and orientations of which are such that the cross-section of the aperture in the central region of the tube is symmetrical with respect to a plane passing through the longitudinal axis of the tube. At any cross-section of the aperture that is adjacent the coated regions of the fibers, each fiber coating contacts two walls of the aperture. The fibers are held taut to effect a tension therein, and the midregion of the tube is heated, collapsed about the fibers, and drawn to reduce the diameter thereof over a predetermined length.

    摘要: A digital voice communication apparatus having improved echo suppression includes a transmission gain detection circuit for detecting a near talker signal and a receiver gain detection circuit for detecting a far talker signal. An echo detecting circuit detects which of the near talker and far talker signals has a lesser value and suppresses the gain of the one detected to have the lesser value. A far talker suppressing circuit detects whether the most recent peak gain in this near talker signal is greater than a threshold and is greater than the gain of the far talker signal. If this condition exists the far talker signal is suppressed. A near talker signal suppressing circuit detects whether the most recent gain of the far talker signal is greater than a threshold and is greater than the gain of the near talker signal. If so, the gain of the near talker signal is suppressed.

    摘要: An apparatus for use in transmitting compressed digital voice data includes an analyzer for compressing digitized voice data according to an algorithm which produces a root mean square of the voice data. An analog to digital converter is used to convert analog voice signals to digital data as an input to the analyzer. An AGC circuit controls to analog voice signal to keep it within predetermined limits for digitization, with the AGC setting being determined by the root mean square of the digitized data. The digitized data includes data representative of the root mean square adjusted by the inverse of the change induced by the AGC. A speech synthesizer expands the digitized data at a remote location to convert it back to analog speech signals.

    摘要: Communication over data links using binary synchronous protocol that is to be made secure according to the Federal data encryption standard (DES) is enhanced by utilizing an encrypted message format wherein the initialization vector for the DES algorithm is at the trailing end of the message. Additional information or control words may also be strung at the trailing end of the encrypted message format without causing throughput loss while enhancing the security and flexibility of the encrypted message in both point-to-point and multipoint systems.
