An optical transmitter comprises a monolithic transmitter photonic integrated circuit (TxPIC) chip that includes an array of modulated sources formed on the PIC chip and having different operating wavelengths approximating a standardized wavelength grid and providing signal outputs of different wavelengths. A wavelength selective combiner is formed on the PIC chip having a wavelength grid passband response approximating the wavelength grid of the standardized wavelength grid. The signal outputs of the modulated sources optically coupled to inputs of the wavelength selective combiner to produce a combined signal output from the combiner. A first wavelength tuning element coupled to each of the modulated sources and a second wavelength tuning element coupled to the wavelength selective combiner. A wavelength monitoring unit is coupled to the wavelength selective combiner to sample the combined signal output. A wavelength control system coupled to the first and second wavelength tuning elements and to said wavelength monitoring unit to receive the sampled combined signal output. The wavelength control system adjusts the respective wavelengths of operation of the modulated sources to approximate or to be chirped to the standardized wavelength grid and for adjusting the optical combiner wavelength grid passband response to approximate the standardized wavelength grid.

A method and tool to smooth surface contours uses a fixed back plate mounted at a known distance to an actuator holding plate. Each of the actuators is mounted in said actuation holding plate by a support collar threaded into said actuator holding plate. Threaded with said support collar is an actuator holder with rigidly holds an actuator. A differential threaded adjustment device is then inserted through said fixed back plate and connected to say support collar and actuator holder so that each can be moved independently of the other. The actuator is made of two piezoelectric plates connected in parallel and seperated by a silicon rubber o-ring.

An optical communication module comprises at least one monolithic semiconductor transmitter photonic integrated circuit chip having a plurality of optical signal channels approximating wavelengths on a standardized grid. Each of said channels comprises a laser source optically coupled to an electro-optic modulator. The outputs of the electro-optic modulators are coupled to inputs of an integrated optical combiner for combining the inputs to form a combined signal output from the chip. A booster optical amplifier is optically coupled to receive and amplify the combined signal output from the chip.

The present disclosure addressed apparatus and methods for forming an annular isolator in a borehole after installation of production tubing. Annular seal means are carried in or on production tubing as it is run into a borehole. In conjunction with expansion of the tubing, the seal is deployed to form an annular isolator. An inflatable element carried on the tubing may be inflated with a fluid carried in the tubing and forced into the inflatable element during expansion of the tubing. Reactive chemicals may be carried in the tubing and injected into the annulus to react with each other and ambient fluids to increase in volume and harden into an annular seal. An elastomeric sleeve, ring or band carried on the tubing may be expanded into contact with a borehole wall and may have its radial dimension increased in conjunction with tubing expansion to form an annular isolator.

A method of operating an array of integrated laser sources formed as an integrated array on a single substrate in a photonic integrated circuit (PIC) where the laser sources are designed for operation at different targeted emission wavelengths which, in toto, at least approximate a grid of spatial emission wavelengths. A first wavelength tuning element is associated with each laser source and is adjusted over time so that each laser source maintains its targeted emission wavelength. As an alternative, the drive current to each laser source may be initially set so that each laser source operates at its targeted emission wavelength. Thereafter, adjustments to retune the laser sources to their targeted emission wavelengths are accomplished by the first wavelength tuning elements. The outputs of the laser sources may be combined via an optical combiner to produce a single combined output from the PIC. A second wavelength tuning element is associated with the optical combiner so that the passband response or wavelength grid of the optical combiner may be also monitored and adjusted to better approximate the wavelength grid of the laser sources.

A physiotherapy bench includes a frame supported by legs in an elevated, use position, and an arcuate body supporting panel on the frame. The supporting panel includes a substantially horizontal front end for supporting the chest of a patient, and an inclined rear end for supporting the hips and the upper portion of the legs of a patient, whereby the spine is subjected to gentle traction. A headrest is resiliently connected to the front end of the frame for floating support of the head of a patient.

A intended in particular for equipping a tunnel for refrigeration of products such as food products, wherein this tunnel has a gaseous current flowing through it. The fan includes at least one pair of funnels (1) fixed onto one face of a support (2) mounted so that it can rotate about a vertical axis (XX) and connected to a device for driving rotation. The funnels have their entrance apertures (4) arranged radially so as to allow the gaseous current to penetrate into them and to emerge from them at an accelerated speed via their exit aperture (S). One or several fans [according to the invention] can be arranged at appropriate places in the tunnel, their rotation speed being chosen so that the exit gas currents from the funnels ensure a high degree of heat transport while reducing the risk of undesirable movement of products passing by on a conveyor placed below the fans.
