20100054861 | Device and Method for Lowering or Raising the End of an Underwater Pipe From a Laying Vessel - A device and a method for lowering or raising the end of an undersea pipe between a vessel and the sea bottom by a carriage moving along an inclined J-lay tower and co-operating with chain-locking devices connecting the top end of the pipe to a storage area by passing over a deflector sheave secured to said carriage. A first chain-locking device is secured to said carriage and serves to lock the abandonment chain while lowering said carriage and said top end of the pipe at the end of the chain, said second locking device then being in an open position at the base of said tower. Thereafter, said abandonment chain is locked at the low portion of the tower with the help of said second chain-locking device, with the first chain-locking device being in the open position while the carriage is being raised. | 03-04-2010 |

20150009639 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR HOUSING CIRCUIT BOARDS OF DIFFERENT PHYSICAL DIMENSIONS - A system and corresponding method for housing circuit boards is provided. The circuit boards may differ in two physical dimensions. The circuit boards are placed in circuit board housings within an enclosure. Substantially planar positionable enclosure partitions of various lengths are strategically placed within the enclosure in order to form the circuit board housings. The positionable enclosure partitions provide a means to create circuit board housings that differ from one another in both a first dimension and a second dimension. | 01-08-2015 |
20150043904 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR PERFORMING PATH PROTECTION FOR RATE-ADAPTIVE OPTICS - A method and apparatus for performing path protection for rate-adaptive optics is provided. As part of the method, an aggregate input bit stream is received. The aggregate input bit stream is then transmitted using a rate-adaptive optical transceiver when transmitting on a first optical path. When the first optical path has a fault, the aggregate input bit stream is then transmitted on a second optical path using the rate-adaptive optical transceiver and a fixed-rate optical transceiver. | 02-12-2015 |
20150063816 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR VISUALLY INDICATING CONNECTIONS BETWEEN MULT-WAVELENGTH INTERFACES AND UNI-WAVELENGTH INTERFACES - A method and apparatus for visually indicating the connections between optical interfaces is provided. The optical interfaces may include multi-wavelength optical interfaces and uni-wavelength optical interfaces. The optical interfaces may reside within optical nodes contained within an optical network. | 03-05-2015 |
20150078745 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR DESIGNING AND CONSTRUCTING OPTICAL NETWORKS - A system and method for designing and constructing optical networks is provided. The system comprises: a server, and interactive software program residing on the server, an interactive input device—capable of accessing the interactive software program residing on the server, and a communication network—used to connect the interactive input device to the server. The method comprises: entering network topology information and service demands for a plurality of nodes into the interactive software program residing on the server, having the interactive software program determine the required optical equipment for the nodes, and ordering the required optical equipment for the nodes using the interactive software program. | 03-19-2015 |
20150084781 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR VISUALLY AND AUDIBLY INDICATING THE SETUP AND MAINTENANCE OF A SYSTEM - Example embodiments of the present invention relate to a method and apparatus for visually and audibly indicating the setup and maintenance of a system. | 03-26-2015 |
20150086191 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR OPTICAL TRANSMITTER AND RECEIVER REDUNDANCY WITHIN A DIRECTIONLESS OPTICAL NODE - Example embodiments of the present invention relate to an optical node comprising of at least two degrees, a plurality of directionless add/drop ports, a plurality of primary WDM transmitters and receivers, and at least one protection WDM transmitter and receiver, wherein the at least one protection WDM transmitter and receiver can transmit and receive in place of any of the plurality of primary WDM transmitters and receivers. | 03-26-2015 |
20150086203 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR OPTICAL NODE CONSTRUCTION USING FIELD PROGRAMMABLE PHOTONICS - Example embodiments of the present invention relate to an optical signal processor comprising of at least one wavelength processing device, a plurality of optical amplifying devices, and a least one field programmable photonic device. | 03-26-2015 |

20120266688 | Gas Metering - A gas meter comprises a conduit for passage of a gas flow and an ionizer to ionize the gas flow. A modulating electrode structure downstream of the ionizer modulates the ion distribution in the ionized gas flow. A first and a second electrode structure downstream of the modulating electrode structure detect the ion distribution in the ionized gas flow. The modulating electrode structure and the detecting electrode structure can generate an electrical field parallel to the direction of the gas flow. The modulating electrode structure and the detecting electrode structures can each have apertures defined therein for passage of the gas flow. The modulating electrode structure can capture ions of one polarity to generate an ionized gas flow comprising a majority of ions of the opposite polarity. Movement of the ionized gas flow generates a current indicative of the ion distribution between the electrode and the charge source. | 10-25-2012 |

20080277258 | MEMS plate switch and method of manufacture - Systems and methods for forming an electrostatic MEMS plate switch include forming a deformable plate on a first substrate, forming the electrical contacts on a second substrate, and coupling the two substrates using a hermetic seal. The deformable plate may have a flexible shunt bar which has one end coupled to the deformable plate, and the other end coupled to a contact on the second substrate. Upon activating the switch, the deformable plate urges the shunt bar against a second contact formed in the second substrate, thereby closing the switch. The hermetic seal may be a gold/indium alloy, formed by heating a layer of indium plated over a layer of gold. Electrical access to the electrostatic MEMS switch may be made by forming vias through the thickness of the second substrate. | 11-13-2008 |
