摘要： The present invention relates to the location or identification of a waveguide, in particular where a disturbance is applied to the optical waveguide. This is achieved by: (a) monitoring the waveguide at a first location to sense a disturbance along the waveguide; (b) causing a disturbance to the waveguide at a second location; (c) transmitting a sensor signal to the second location; and, (d) inferring, from the sensor signal, the presence or identity of the waveguide at the second location.

摘要： The present invention relates to the modulation of light traveling along a waveguide, in particular to the acoustic modulation of the light. There is provide a modulator arrangement for acoustically modulating optical radiation. The modulator arrangement has: a waveguide portion formed from a flexible material; a vibrator element for generating acoustic vibrations; and, a coupling arrangement for releasably coupling the vibrating element to the waveguide portion, the coupling arrangement including a first coupling member secured to the waveguide portion, and a second coupling member secured to the vibrator element. The second coupling member is removable from the first coupling member, and the first coupling member has a substantially rigid portion for retaining the shape of the waveguide when the second coupling member is removed from the first coupling member.

摘要： A tetherless workstation is provided having a rechargeable battery power supply installed therein for supplying electrical power to equipment associated with the workstation. The battery power supply includes a diagnostics interface for monitoring an indication of at least the battery charge level and for outputting that indication together with a unique identifier stored within the power supply for transmission over a wireless communications interface. A monitoring apparatus is also provided to monitor the operational status of tetherless workstations using indications output by their respective power supplies, for logging usage of workstations and for generating reports on their operational status, including predictions relating to their operational status.
