    Abstract: The objective of this invention is to make solar water heating affordable and compatible with conventional gas or electric water heaters. Solar energy is clean and renewable. However, solar water heating has not been in wide use in the US mainly due to two reasons: first, the cost of a current solar water heater is generally too expensive for an average household; second, a typical solar water heater uses ethylene glycerol as a heat transfer fluid to prevent freezing and needs additional space for an extra exchange tank. Our design includes evacuated tube collector panels for efficient collection of solar energy, utilizes two unique three-way adaptors to connect solar collector panels to a conventional water heater for storing solar hot water, and is operational even in freezing temperature. These improvements eliminate the need for an extra exchange tank and significantly reduce the cost of a solar water heater.

    Abstract: A method for routing switch is disclosed. The method comprises: when a network device forwards traffic through N equal-cost multi-path (ECMP) routes to a destination, if M of these routes are inactive, then for each inactive route, determining an alternative route for replacing the inactive route from N-M active routes, and modifying the inactive route to the alternative route so as to switch the traffic of the inactive route onto the alternative route, wherein N and M are positive integer numbers, with N being greater than or equal to 2 and M being greater than or equal to 1 and smaller than N.

    Abstract: A method for compensating for a wavelength shift in a wavelength selective switch (WSS), and a device therefor. The device comprises a fixed seat (301) as well as a rotation beam (304) and a compensation block (302) that have different thermal expansion amounts, the rotation beam (304) and the compensation block (302) being fixedly adhered to the fixed seat (301). In the method, a combined structure of the rotation beam (304) and the compensation block (302) with different thermal expansion amounts is adopted; the combined structure rotates by means of different expansion amounts generated by the rotation beam (304) and the compensation block (302) at the same external temperature, and further drives an optical element of the WSS to rotate, hence compensating for a wavelength shift of the WSS. The method is safe and reliable; the device has a simple structure, and is convenient to encapsulate, is applicable to various WSS optical paths, and does not affect advantages of the optical path structure of the WSS.

    Abstract: A wavelength selective switch (WSS) with hitless switching. The WSS includes the fiber collimator array, the focusing lens, collimating lens, diffraction grating, focusing lens, and attenuation reflection unit array. Each attenuation reflection unit has an interconnected transmission-type MEMS attenuator and a one-dimension MEMS reflector. The transmission-type MEMS attenuator is positioned in the front of the one-dimension MEMS reflector. The central axis of the transmission-type MEMS attenuator aligns and coincides with that of the one-dimension MEMS reflector, with the two central axes being glued together. The WSS of the present invention effectively utilizes the combination of a one-dimension reflector array and a transmission-type optical attenuator chip. With the use of one-dimension reflector array, instead of the known two-dimension reflector array, the complexity of design and manufacture is greatly reduced, thereby reducing the production costs of the switch.
