20090126606 | Secure enclosure - A secure enclosure for resisting attacks using explosives. The secure enclosure has a body defining an opening and a door leaf hingeably coupled to the body for securely closing the opening. The body and door leaf define a cavity in which valuable items may be stored. The secure enclosure also defines a plurality of frangible portions. Each frangible portion comprises a weakened perimeter so that the frangible portions are ejected by the rapid build-up of pressure when an explosion occurs within the secure enclosure, thereby reducing the pressure within the secure enclosure and preserving the integrity of the body and door. | 05-21-2009 |

20120293804 | System and Method for Measuring Optical Signal-to-Noise Ratio - The invention provides a system and method for measuring optical signal-to-noise-ratio (OSNR) in an optical communication system. A channel filter is adapted to select one specific optical communication channel from a wavelength-division-multiplexing (WDM) optical communication system, wherein the channel comprises an optical signal carrying digital bit information and noise from associated optical power amplifiers in the system. At least one optical delay interferometer is adapted to measure at least two interferograms of the noisy signal. The invention provides a mechanism for calculating the in-band OSNR from extinctions of the interferograms measured at different optical delays by referring to each other, wherein said optical delays are selected to be substantially less than a bit period of the optical channel. Because of the selection of the optical delays and/or the self-reference between the two measurements, the system can follow any changes happening to the signal such as additional filtering, self (cross)-phase modulation, the bias and drive signal change of the modulator used to generate the optical signal. | 11-22-2012 |

20100170985 | COMPOSITE PANEL STIFFENER - A multi layer composite L-shaped stringer for use in an aerospace structure comprises a foot and a web extending from an edge of the foot. A first surface on the foot is shaped to abut a structure to be stiffened. The foot also has a second surface opposite the first surface. The web has a third surface and a fourth surface at the same layer in the composite material as the first and third surfaces, respectively. The geometry of the stringer may vary along its length (L) so that as the first surface is displaced towards the second surface, the fourth surface is displaced towards the third surface. The developed width (DW) from the distal edge of the foot to the distal edge of the web of the stringer may be substantially constant for all cross-sections along a length of the stringer. The risk of causing, during fabrication of the stringer, undesirable creasing, stressing or stretching of composite material layers in a region in which the geometry of the stringer varies may be reduced by means of such arrangements. | 07-08-2010 |
